Nokia 1

It is always a person’s dream to carry a smartphone packed with numerous useful features and also looks and feels premium on the hold. Such smartphones, however, comes at an expense of a stack of cash and not every people can afford it. Targeting such customers in the market, Nokia 1 serves to delight the people with its impeccable features at a budget-friendly price.

With the sturdy build, Nokia 1 justifies the goodwill earned by Nokia over the years. The 4.5-inch screen on the device is a decent size on a budget smartphone. At this size, the handset is easy to hold and use even with a single hand.

This least expensive Nokia smartphone is gifted with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The presence of 1GB of RAM might seem displeasing these days. However, this handset is one of the privileged ones to boast the light or Go version of Android OS. With the Android Go OS on its system, the apps and internal processes inside the device are optimized so the device does not suffer lags and stutters on the use.

On the camera side, the handset sports 5MP sensor on the back and 2MP on the front. Fueled by a 2150 mAh battery, Nokia 1 costs Rs. 9,325 on the purchase.

Nokia 1 Specifications:

Display: 4.5” FWVGA (854 x 480 pixels) IPS display, 5 fingers touch-screen

Nokia 6 2018

Nokia 6 was the most loved Nokia smartphone last year. The smartphone also made headlines on more than one occasion for being sold in less than a minute time. Nokia 6 2018 is the successor to the same smartphone, which refueled the hopes of Nokia to regain its glory back after the downfall.

Boasting a 5.5-inch Full-HD display, the Nokia 6 2018 comes with shielded with the Gorilla Glass 3 on the top. Looking at the display size and protection system used, the handset does not seem to make any changes. But if both handsets are kept side by side, it can be seen that the newbie possesses smaller bezels as compared to its predecessor.

Last year’s Nokia 6 was powered with Snapdragon 430 chipset, which used to disappoint its users with the excessive heating and stuttering processing during when assigned to heavy workloads. However, in the new model, the chipset is replaced by Snapdragon 630 chipset. With this new chipset, the smartphone has the potential to outperform the mid-range fan favorite smartphones like Xiaomi MI A1, Vivo V9, Redmi 5 Plus, etc. And the presence of bloatware free stock version of Android provides a strong suit to the device to unleash its potential.

Despite the trend of dual cameras, Nokia had to be adamant about providing a similar setup on Nokia 6 2018. So just a single sensor of 16MP resides on the back. The Carl Zeiss lens is used on its rear camera. Carl Zeiss is a renowned name in the camera industry. So we can expect some astonishing shots from the device. Up front, there is 8MP camera dedicated for the selfies.

Three Nokia smartphones launching this month in Nepal: Everything you need to know

Nokia is a darling to us when it comes to mobile phones. It did suffer some blips in the middle, but still we have a soft side to the company because most of us probably started the mobile phone journey with an old Nokia device.

The new Nokia by HMD Global made its way into Nepal last year, and the company received a warm response. This year, Paramount Electronics is back at it as the authorized distributor of Nokia smartphones in Nepal is set to launch three new smartphones, namely the Nokia 1, the Nokia 6 (2018) and the Nokia 7 plus.

Don’t Miss: Nokia Mobiles Price in Nepal

Nokia 1

Nokia has always had the budgets under its pocket except for some exceptions. The Nokia 1 is a phone that runs on Android Go – the minimalistic Android. This device runs on the latest Android Oreo from Google and supports the Google Assistant. Nokia also claims that they’ll update the device to Android P and Android Q in the near future.

With Android Go, users can download apps up to 10MB for maintaining the lightness in the software department. The Nokia 1 has a 4.5-inch tall screen with an HD IPS display which is a great deal for the price it is being offered at.

The smartphone runs on MediaTek MT6737M SoC and a quad-core processor. It consists of 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage with 128 GB of expandable memory.

According to our sources, the Nokia 1 will come approximately at a price of Rs. 10,000 and will be available in the second week of April.

Nokia 6 (2018)

Nokia is certainly planning to take a leap in the budget price segment this year and the company has Nokia 6 to spearhead that leap. The Nokia 6 (2018) is the successor to one of last year’s headline maker – the Nokia 6. This year’s edition runs on Android v8.0 Oreo. There are two storage variants available in the international market right now – 3/32 GB and 4/64 GB variants. It is quite unclear right now if Paramount will launch both 3 GB and 4 GB RAM options in Nepal or not.

The Nokia 6 (2018) houses a 16MP camera on its rear part and an 8MP lens on the front. The device is powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor. It consists of dual SIM slots and a 3000mAh non-removable battery. The Nokia 6 comes with a 5.50-inch IPS LCD display will a full HD resolution.

This powerful midrange smartphone will approximately cost around Rs.25,000 – 30,000 and it will be launching on the 3rd week of April.

Nokia 7 plus

Next in line is the Nokia 7 plus. This device has a trendy looking 6-inch full HD display that comes in an 18:9 form factor. The Nokia 7 plus comes with 4GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage with an option to expand up to 256 GB.

The smartphone houses an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 process underneath the hood. According to Qualcomm, “Snapdragon 660 offers up to 30% higher graphics performance and twice the LTE and Wi-Fi downlink speed compared to the prior generation.”

The battery life of the Nokia 7 plus is quite promising with the 3800 mAh battery in place. But hey, we have indeed counted on Nokia in this department in the past.

The 7 plus will be launched in Nepal on the 4th week of April. This midrange flagship is assumed to cost around Rs. 45,000 – 50,000 approximately.

Dell’s new gaming oriented G series laptops launched with 8th gen processors

Dell is on a roll thanks to Intel’s roadmap of processor refreshes. They have already refreshed the XPS 15 with new 8th gen processors and better GPU. With that out of the way, the Alienware and Inspiron Gaming series are also getting an overhaul. With performance boost claims of up to 50%, let’s take a look at all of what Dell has to offer.

The new G series will replace the previous Inspiron gaming series, featuring three new laptops, the G3, G5 and G7. These new laptops will fit almost all laptop buyers in almost every price range. All three laptops come with either a GTX 1050 4GB, GTX 1050Ti 4GB or a Max Q GTX 1060 6GB . They also come equipped with a 56Whr battery and up to a maximum of 32GB RAM at 2666MHz.

Dell’s G3 comes in 15 and 17-inch variants with both of them featuring a FHD (1920×1080) IPS matte panel. You can choose from Intel’s i5-8300H with 4 core and go up to an i7-8750H with 6 cores. Although the G3 only features a 1×1 802.11ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5.0 and an optional Thunderbolt 3 port.

Dimension wise, the laptop will see itself in a 0.89 x 14.96 x 10.16-inch body. Availability starts from 3rd April and will be priced at $749 for the 15 inch and $799 for the 17-inch variant. You might ask yourself why the low prices? Well according to the Verge, that is all thanks to a cheap plastic build and even worst keyboards and touchpads.

The G5 (15″) also comes with either a 4 core i5-8300H or a 6 core i7-8750H. The noticeable improvements over the G3 is an optional 15″ 4K UHD matte IPS display. The G5 also gets a 2×2 802.11ac wifi. Dimension wise, it has a 0.98 x 15.32 x 10.82-inch body, with a weight of around 2.65kg. The laptop will also be available starting April 3, with a base price of $799.

Finally, the G7 (15″) is the best among the bunch. This one not only comes in a 4 core i5-8300H or a 6 core i7-8750H options but also with a 6 core i9-8950HK processor with clock speeds that go all the way up to 4.8Ghz. Sadly, the GPU options remain the same.

The G7 is available in both FHD and UHD resolution matte IPS panels. Dell has managed to cram all this into a 0.98 x 15.32 x 10.82-inch body. The laptop will be available starting April 3 for a starting price of $849.

Storage options for all three models include an M.2 SSD from 128GB to 512GB and a 2.5-inch HDD from 500GB to 1TB. Likewise, the port selection includes HDMI 2.0, USB 3.1, Thunderbolt 3 (optional on G3), SD card reader, RJ45 LAN and a headphone/mic combo port.

Dell updates it’s XPS 15 with 8th gen i9 processor and GTX 1050Ti Graphics

The Dell XPS 15 is one of the finest laptops in the world of portable computers. They are very well built with good performance and has one of the best displays. That is good and all, but an accessory like a laptop doesn’t stay fresh for long.

Following Intel’s processor refresh roadmap, Dell has also refreshed their XPS 15s with the new 8th gen Coffee Lake processors as well. Now, the top of the line XPS 15 will feature up to Intel’s Core i9 processors. Other variants include the 6 core 8th gen i7 and Core i5-8300H for the base model.

There is also an option to opt for a GTX 1050Ti, a welcome upgrade over the GTX 1050. The performance bump is somewhere in the line of 20%. But I could not help but be disappointed at Dell for not cramming a MAX Q 1060 on this nifty hardware. On Dell’s defence, it is the same exact body so, maybe it was just not possible.

Dell has managed to pack a more powerful CPU and GPU under the same chassis, as the dimensions remain the same. It also features a very color accurate and bright display with either a 1080p or a 4k panel. A few other things that changed are the RAM’s size and speed, which maxes out at 32GB and 2666MHz, up from 2400MHz.

Battery size caps out at 97WHr for the top end model and 56WHz for the low-end ones. The bigger capacity is supposed to give you around 21.5 hours of usage, which actually seems a bit far fetched. Prices start at $1000 in the US and will be available for pre-orders from April 16.
