Xiaomi MI 8 is now official with 3D face unlock, OLED display, and a notch

Xiaomi has launched their new flagship for 2018, the Xiaomi MI 8. This is their first smartphone with a notch and a fairly promising dual camera (which scored 105 on the photo in DxOMark test). It also sports an OLED display from Samsung.

It’s a 6.21-inch 18.7:9 display with an 88.5% screen to body ratio and a notch. The display resolution remains at 1080×2280, with a pixel density of 407 PPI, DCI-P3 & HDR 10 support and a maximum brightness of 600 nits. The notch holds an Infrared lens, Infrared lighting, earpiece, proximity sensor and the 20MP front camera. Other than the notch itself, the MI 8 has a display on the front, which sadly doesn’t support in-display fingerprint sensor.

There is, however, an Explorer Edition MI 8 which comes with an in-display fingerprint scanner and a see-through back panel. It does look much cooler than the regular variant and is a bit more expensive as well. The normal versions will get a fingerprint sensor on the back.

Internally all versions come with Snapdragon 845 processor with Adreno 630 GPU, which Xiaomi claims can score 301,472 on AnTuTu benchmark test. You also get 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 64GB, 128GB or 256GB unexpandable storage choices. Pair all that with the new MIUI 10, and Xiaomi’s AI integration, and you can pretty much guarantee excellent performance.Xiaomi mi8 dxo mark camera score

Camera wise, the back is equipped with a 12MP (f/1.8, 1.4um, IMX363)+12MP (f/2.4, 1.0um, telephoto, S5K3M3) camera setup. It comes with AI features with enhancements for over 200 scenes and also does 4-in-1 pixel binning for better lowlight shots.

The front gets a 20MP 1.8um pixels front camera with f/2.0 aperture also capable of AI portrait selfie and AI beautify. Remember the iPhone X‘s studio lighting mode? the MI 8 gets a similar feature as well.Xiaomi mi8 photo comparision

They have ditched the headphone jack, and only port available is the USB C. It also comes with NFC and dual-frequency GPS which will make navigating super fast and precise.

Finally, it has 3D face recognization which will work in dark environments, similar to the one on the iPhone X. Powering the device is a 3400mAh battery with fast charging support. Colour options include Black, White, Gold, and Blue.

Xiaomi MI 8 SE

The Xiaomi MI 8 SE is another smartphone Xiaomi released in the event today. It comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset, which is more powerful than the Snapdragon 660 but not quite as much as the Snapdragon 845. It does, however, save around 30% of the power consumption over the 660, and boosts the performance by 20%. If you are confused over the Snapdragon 710, it scores about 174,333 on AnTuTu benchmark test.

It comes with a 5.88-inch FHD+ OLED display, with an 18.7:9 aspect ratio. It also comes with a notch but no 3D face ID like its bigger brother, the MI 8. The display panel is capable of 600 nits of brightness and supports DCI-P3 color gamut, which is pretty impressive.Xiaomi mi8 se

At the front, it sports a 20MP sensor with large 2um pixels. On the back is a 12MP + 5MP dual camera setup for better depth detection. Pair that with AI enhancements like beautification, bokeh and scene recognition.

Running the device is a 3120mAh battery, with support for 18W Quick Charge 3.0 over a USB-C port. It will be available in black, gold, red and blue color options.

The MI 8 will be available in China from 5th June, while the SE will follow 3 days later. There are still no words on the availability for the Explorer edition or their international release.

MIUI 10

Xiaomi also launched the latest version of MIUI alongside their flagship. The MIUI 10 brings in a bunch of cosmetic changes alongside a deep AI integration. They claim to reduce app load time to zero thanks to the same AI integration. Overall it comes with a bunch of other under the hood optimizations delivering a much faster and lightweight UI.MIUI 10

Alongside that, you also get a new voice assistant that can do tasks like read messages or give you live traffic updates among others. It’s basically Xioami’s version of Google Assistant or Siri or the Bixby. They did show a few demos of what the assistant is capable of, and it was pretty promising.

Pricing
Version RAM/Storage Price
Xiaomi MI 8 (Regular) 6/64GB CNY 2,699, $420
6/128GB CNY 2,999, $470
6/256GB CNY 3,299, $520
Xiaomi MI 8 (Explorer) 8/128GB CNY 3,799, $600
Xiaomi MI 8 SE 4/64GB CNY 1,799, $280
6/64GB CNY 1,999, $310

We won’t be speculating how much it will cost in Nepal, as Xiaomi’s Nepali distributors have a history of surprising us with their pricing strategy. Although if priced well, the Xiaomi MI 8 can be a serious contender in the Nepali flagship market.

Meizu M6T launched: The Killer Budget Smartphone for $150

Meizu has announced its latest budget offering — the Meizu M6T. Despite being a budget phone, it follows the trend of dual cameras, 18:9 display, and sleek design. It’s likely to go head to head against Xiaomi Redmi 5 and Huawei’s budget Honor lineup.

The Meizu M6T sports a 5.7-inch with HD+ resolution which is acceptable for a budget phone. It is powered by last year’s MediaTek MT6750, which I think Meizu could have done slightly better. I would prefer the Snapdragon 450 or the recently announced Helio P22, but since its an affordable phone, the MT6750 should provide enough horsepower.

Meizu M6T budget smartphone

The main highlight of the phone has to be its camera. The phone features a dual camera setup of 13MP and 2MP. The primary 13MP camera is a Sony IMX278 sensor and the 2MP is a depth sensor. The combination should yield decent portrait images. There’s an 8MP shooter up front.

Like with any budget phones, the Meizu M6T also houses a plastic body, but it does look good with its unibody construction. It is available in three color options: Black, Red, and Gold. There’s 3300mAh battery which should be enough for a day’s usage. It runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with Meizu’s own flyme OS.

There are three memory versions for the Meizu M6T. The base 3GB/32GB version costs $125, the 4GB/32GB is priced at $155, and the 4GB/64GB carries a price tag of $171.

OnePlus 6 launched in Nepal: The new flagship killer?

If there is any smartphone that knows to bring the smartphones with the flagship-grade specs but at lower prices than the prevailing flagship smartphones, then that is certainly OnePlus. Because of such endeavors, the brand is also remarked as the flagship killer. And this time around, this popular smartphone brand came up with the OnePlus 6. The smartphone was launched globally in the third week of May. In less than two weeks of time, the smartphone is now available in Nepal.

Oneplus 6 Overview:

Design

In terms of design, the OnePlus 6 comes in an all-alluring glass body with Corning Gorilla 5 on both ends. In the past, OnePlus had been quite fixated with the metallic body despite the leap of other top-tier smartphone brands like Samsung and Apple. This time, OnePlus finally made the switch and it received galore of applauds from the fanbase. But despite the fancy upgrade, there is still not the wireless charging feature. Also, the smartphone is not yet IP certified. It means it is not water and dust resistant and the smartphone will get damaged in the prolonged exposure to water.

Display

On the display front, OnePlus 6 comes with the tall 6.28-inch Optic AMOLED display. The display contributes to 83.8% screen-to-body ratio, all thanks to the narrow bezels on the phone. Speaking of the bezels, the smartphone lacks bezels on the top and there is only a small notch to house the front camera, earpiece, and the sensors. The presence of the (nearly) all-screen display and a notch on the top gives the vibe of the iPhone X. But it is not bad by any means, other smartphones like Vivo V9, Oppo F7, etc. have also adopted a similar design with the cutouts in the display.

Performance

In terms of performance, the OnePlus 6 is nowhere less than the prevailing flagship smartphones in the market. It comes with the powerful Snapdragon 845 chipset with an overkilling 6GB RAM alongside. On the storage front, the handset boasts 64GB of onboard storage. However, the smartphone lacks an SD card slot. So users cannot expand the storage on the device.

Camera

Talking about the camera, the OnePlus 6 comes with a dual-camera setup on the rear panel. The camera duo comprises 16MP and 20MP sensors. Both the cameras boast a wide f/1.7 aperture lenses. So we can expect appealing images even when shooting during the low lights. And upfront, there is a 16MP selfie shooter, which comes with an EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization).

The craze for the camera-centric smartphone has increased very much in the last couple of years. The fashion of taking images and posting them in the social media has also given rise to the trend.

Namely known as the Xiaomi Redmi S2, the major highlight on the newbie is the dual camera at the back and an AI-powered selfie shooter up front.

Also Read: Xiaomi Mobiles Price in Nepal

We have seen in a multiple occasion Xiaomi using the Snapdragon 625 chipset in its smartphones. And Xiaomi did it one more time in the Redmi S2. Alongside the Snapdragon 625 chipset, there is 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. We have already seen the Snapdragon 625 chipset in the smartphones like Redmi Note 4, MI A1, Redmi 5 Plus, etc. and the smartphones have performed with a remarkable fluidity. So we can expect a similar performance from the Redmi S2.

Xiaomi Redmi S2 design

In terms of display, the Xiaomi Redmi S2 comes with the tall 5.99-inch display. The display comes with 18:9 aspect ratio with narrow bezels on the top and on the bottom. With the screen-to-body ratio of 74.5%, the display obviously looks alluring. However, the display on the device only features and HD+ resolution contributing to a pixel density of merely 269 PPI.

The camera is the major highlight on the phone. The device carries a dual camera setup at the back comprising 12MP and 5MP cameras. The camera pair at the back is aligned vertically with an LED flash in between just like the iPhone X and the Vivo V9. With the dual cameras at an action, the smartphone can take amazing portrait shots with blurred backgrounds. Xiaomi has also talked about the inclusion of EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) on the rear camera because of which the images/videos taken from the phone are less affected by shakes and vibrations while capturing the images and shooting videos.

Xiaomi Redmi S2 camera

And talking about the selfie camera, the Xiaomi Redmi S2 possesses a 16MP selfie shooter up front. A 16MP sensor already sounds amazing, but what is even more interesting is that the presence of a large pixel size (2.0µm) in the sensor. So we can expect a stellar performance of the phone in the camera department.

On the software side, the S2 comes with the Android Oreo out of the box. And there is 3080mAh battery to fuel the processes inside the phone. This non-removable battery also supports fast charging of 10 watts (5V/2A).

Xiaomi Redmi S2 Specifications:

Xiaomi Redmi S2 Price in Nepal

Latest Price: Rs. 19,499 (3/32GB) | Rs. 23,499 (4/64GB) [Last updated on December 6, 2018]

In terms of price, the Redmi S2 costs Rs. 25,499 for the purchase in Nepal. This is an online exclusive phone and the interested ones can make a purchase from Daraz. Buyers can also get Rs. 1,000 off in the checkout by using the code “darazgbt”.

The smartphone sounds really amazing in terms of camera but it does not quite meet the standards of the smartphones at the similar price bracket. The absence of the Full-HD display or in other words, the presence of the mere HD+ display is a huge letdown.

So if you are thinking to own this smartphone, it would be better if you consider thinking it twice. You can get better alternatives at the similar price segment. And the options do not require seeking far away. Xiaomi already has better smartphones in its lineup. At just Rs. 24, 499, you can get the Xiaomi MI A1. This smartphone comes with a Full HD display and dual cameras at the back capable of capturing images with 2x Optical Zoom. Furthermore, the MI A1 is an Android One smartphone and Google has promised to provide regular software updates up to the Android P version.

Similarly, if you can add Rs. 3,000 more, you can get the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI, which is the best smartphone in Nepal under Rs. 30,000. The Redmi Note 5 AI also comes with a Full HD+ display, 18:9 aspect ratio, dual camera at the back, capable AI-powered selfie camera, whopping 4000mAh battery, a really powerful Snapdragon 636 chipset.

So are you still planning to buy the Xiaomi Redmi S2? Let us know in the comments.

Around two months back, Huawei had launched its new member of the flagship P-series in the international market, the P20. However, Nepal was yet to experience the likes of it. But now, the wait is finally over and Huawei has launched the P20 in Nepal.

As we are aware, the feature highlight of the device is the cameras. The Huawei P20 features the Leica’s Dual cameras that pack plenty of features like the temperature sensor, pixel-level color optimization, etc. The dual cameras at the back feature a 12MP f/1.8 RGB+ 20 MP f/1.6 monochrome camera setup. The cameras also come with AI image stabilization that helps you get perfect blur-free pictures effortlessly, as claimed by Huawei.

Similarly, like its competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S9, this one too shows off the super slow motion video option recorded at 960 frames per second in HD resolution. However, since it’s just HD, like the S9, there may be concerns regarding loss of quality. But, we cannot be certain about that right now so we will have to give it a test.

Similarly, with the f/1.6 and f/1.8 apertures, the low light performance is also expected to be good. The device is juiced by a 3,400 mAh battery and supports Super Charge option, a charging similar to quick charging.

The Huawei P20 is available in Black, Twilight, Pink Gold and Midnight Blue colors internationally but as of now, it is available in Black and Midnight Blue in the Nepali market.

Oppo F7 Youth goes on sale with Helio P60 processor and Face Unlock

After a few speculations, Oppo has finally launched the OPPO F7 Youth in the Philippines. The OPPO F7 Youth is basically a toned down version of the device shares a lot of similarities with the RealMe1. The all-new Oppo F7 Youth offers quite a lot of features but misses out on a fingerprint sensor, some of the camera capabilities, and a notch.

OPPO-F7-Youth launched

Simply put, the Oppo F7 Youth is the RealMe 1. These two phones feature almost all the same specs, at least on paper, down to the phone’s dimensions and weight. They also share the same notch less display and the lack of fingerprint sensor, with a super fast face recognization feature to make up for it.
