Three variants of Samsung Galaxy S9 to launch in March 2018

The rumored Samsung Galaxy S8 mini isn’t panning out as we hoped for, but sources are really certain about a Galaxy S9 mini. The Galaxy S9 mini accompanies its bigger brother, the regular Galaxy S9. And both of them are going to launch alongside the even bigger Galaxy S9+.

Remember the days when Samsung used to launch just one Galaxy S smartphone in a year? Well, next year it’s going to be three S-series smartphones. That’s probably because people want devices of different screen sizes and Samsung wants to make the best of this.samsung galaxy s9 s9 plus s9 mini gadgetbyte nepal

All three Galaxy S9 variants will feature an even better AMOLED displays. No doubts there. It seems like Samsung is sticking with their 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The new devices will also be the first to get Qualcomm’s latest and greatest for next year – the Snapdragon 845 chipset.

People who like smaller displays will be happy to hear that the Samsung Galaxy S9 mini, will feature a 5-inch edge to edge display with the same 18.5:9 screen ratio. Let’s just hope that Samsung doesn’t compromise on the internals of this device.samsung galaxy s9 s9 plus s9 mini gadgetbyte nepal

The fingerprint will find it’s way to the back of the phone, below the camera sensors. There are also talks of a proper facial recognition like face ID, and a dual camera setup as well. Sensibly, the RAM will be well over the 6GB mark, with the exception of the S9 mini (most probably 4GB). There is one claim that is too unreal to pan out – a 1000 fps slow-mo capable camera sensor. We will have to wait and see which of this rumor actually pans out.

All of these devices in question are set to launch together in March 2018. The pricing, on the other hand, will be tricky since a smaller version is launching as well. Without much of a design change, the prices will probably not be different from the current versions.

Poll results: NTC is the most preferred telecommunication provider in Nepal

Nepal Telecom has been in Nepal for a while now and it has gained the public’s trust. We can confirm this with confidence from the results we have seen from the poll we took a couple of weeks back.

The state-owned telecommunication company has easily accumulated 59% of the total votes. This is the first time we have seen an option garner more than 50% of the votes. However, it only had a few competitors.

Ncell took the second spot, probably a result of its changing owners and the tax issues. Also, its high tariff rates don’t help much either. They really need to learn that Nepali people want cheaper rates on calls and texts rather than the features that no one uses.

The option “all of them suck” came third with a total of 16% votes. If we consider the number of people who hate the telecommunication service every now and then, this 16% is actually surprising.

The mere 4% that “others” got is a negative for the industry. We need to look at the fact that only two carriers are leading in Nepal, resulting in overpriced service fees, and a lack of innovation and upgrades in their services.

Huawei Nova 2i with 4 Cameras Launched in Nepal

The new era of tall 18:9 aspect ratio display is taking over the smartphone arena. Previously only seen on flagships like the Samsung S8’s and Note 8, this feature is quickly shifting towards midrange devices. Huawei Nova 2i is the only mid-range phone apart from the Oppo F5 in Nepal to sport this aspect ratio. Not only that, it is also the first phone in Nepal to sport 4 cameras.

Huawei Nova 2i comes with a 5.9-inch Full HD+ display with the new 18:9 aspect ratio and a staggering 83% body to screen ratio. With almost borderless design, Huawei calls it the FullView display. The tall form factor is the new standard in mobile displays and we’ll see it in newer devices to come. It will help to incorporate more contents on the display and with near bezel-less design, will create an immersive experience. Right now, there aren’t videos, apps and other contents that will fit well into this panel but in the coming days, most of them will adapt to it.

For performance, the Huawei Nova 2i is rocking the in-house Kirin 659 octa-core chipset clocked at a maximum frequency of 2.36Ghz with adaptive AI technology. With adaptive AI, the device will be able to track your usage patterns for optimizing those processes and also aids in intelligently boosting the performance of the device.

The Nova 2i comes coupled with 4GB of RAM. It has a single variant with 64GB memory onboard which can be expandable up to 256GB trading off the 2nd SIM. With no space up front, the fingerprint sensor is placed on the back. Huawei Nova 2i is running on Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.1 on top. The phone fails to incorporate the USB Type C port. The phone also lacks fast charging capability for its 3340mAh battery.

The feature highlight of the phone is its quad camera, two on the front and the rest on the back. The back houses dual cameras in a pair of 16+2MP sensors. On the front, it holds a pair of 13+2MP sensors. The dual cameras on both sides help to produce the bokeh effect with a blurred background which we all happen to love so much. It comes with 2-level brightness flash with 120degree lighting angle up front. Along with it, you get stickers and beauty mode if you’re in for it.

WOW Time introduces subscription based service

The idea of getting to watch live TV anywhere and anytime using your smartphone with the help of cellular data and WIFI is fun and interesting. NTC’s app, WOW Time was launched for quite a time now, enabling its users to get access to television services on their mobile phones. The service, however, was free for the NTC users until festivities ended. But, now that the celebrations are over, the free subscription has also ended!

Yes, NTC has started its subscription-based service for WOW Time from the 14th of November, 2017. WOW Time has launched its most awaited packages and has started its subscription-based video service for all premium channels and has also introduced live TV and youtube data pack for NT 3G/4G users. All the Nepali channels, movies, FM and videos still remain free of subscription, while all the premium channels are subject to subscription charges.

WOW Time Subscription Charges

Time Cost
24 hours Rs.24
7 days Rs.90
30 days Rs.250

Data pack details:

MB Cost
500 MB (Valid for 7 days) Rs.60
1GB (Valid for 14 days) Rs.100

The WOW Time app has upgraded from its previous version and with the introduction of subscription and data charges; we hope there has been an improvement in the content section too. The company says subscription is only valid for all premium live TV channels while all Nepali channels, FM, movies, and videos still remain free of charges. The fees so charged seem reasonable and the fact that there still is some stuff for free is not too bad.

For those who are not aware, WOW Time is an IPTV service in Nepal commenced by NTC for NTC users only that allows its users to get access to multi-entertainment features, like, live TV channels, FM, Movies, and videos on demand,  using WIFI or cellular data on your smartphone whenever and wherever you want.

Now boasting themselves as the expert in taking selfies and leader in the business, they have now changed their tagline to “Selfie expert and leader”. The new Oppo F5 features the most hyped AI-powered selfie camera and bezel-less display with 18:9 aspect ratio. But what more it has to offer? Let’s find out.

Hands-on experience with the Oppo F5

I get to have a quick play with Oppo F5 in the launch event and will share what I experienced so far with the device. With three smartphones stacked together, the red variant looked vibrant and catchy, which also happens to be the premium variant among the bunch with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. So I picked the device and used it for a while.

Oppo f5 hands-on review

The device was thin and light with a streamlined body, which made it easier to hold and to have a grip on. The 6-inch display with narrow bezels was the feature that takes all the credit for its elegance. The phone was powered by Helio P23 chipset aided by Mali-G71 MP2 for the graphics portion. On my quick play with the device, I could not test the phone’s performance with the heavy games. However, with the light apps and games in play and multitasking with them, the phone was quite fluent.

Since Oppo F5 is the camera-centric phone, I concentrated on testing its camera for most of the time. The rear 20MP camera takes decent photos at times but lacked the consistency on providing good images in every scenario. The photos were washed out sometimes and sometimes the images turn out to be over saturated. And in the low light scenario, the phone suffered highly. In addition, while I tried to record videos, the phone lacked the 4K recording option. A camera-centric smartphone with such blemishes, is it tolerable? I think no.

Similarly, to experience the Artificial Intelligence on the selfies from the self-proclaimed selfie expert and leader, I took few selfies. On taking selfies, my brown-colored skin tone was whitened, which looked natural most of the times. However, the shots taken with the Bokeh mode lacked sharped edges almost all the time. Also, the background was unevenly blurred at times, which made them unnatural and unrealistic. So to be frank, the selfie expert disappointed me a lot while taking selfies.

That was quick hands-on experience with the newly launched Oppo F5. We will come up with the full review of the device. So stay tuned to GadgetByte Nepal and get subscribed to our YouTube channel.

Verdict on Oppo F5

Is the camera most important feature on a smartphone? Even if your answer is yes, Oppo F5, which happened to be a camera-centric phone struggled with taking good images at times. This is the most implausible and the most intolerable feature with the Oppo F5 and we have most features yet to overlook. So, in my personal opinion, the Oppo F5 does not deserve a price it is tagged with. So, I have short-listed few smartphones with the good cameras and overall performance that comes with a similar price tag and offers a great value for money.

Apple will release three new iPhones Next Year

2017 has been a good year for Apple, with their stocks reaching an all-time high after the iPhone X launch. It’s because people seem to really love the iPhone X, the first iPhone with a bezel-less AMOLED display. And Apple is trying to capitalize on their current success, with talks of three new iPhones in 2018.

2017 did see three iPhones, but the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus didn’t quite share the same success as it’s bezel-less sibling. So the three iPhones in 2018 will feature the same new bezel-less design with the controversial notch up top. With so much complains about the notch, I really hope Apple removes it and bring something innovative.

The 5.8-inch iPhone, the biggest screen real-estate on iPhone as of now, will be the smallest next year. There are plans for two more iPhones with even bigger displays. One with a 6.1-inch screen and the other with a 6.5-inch display.iPhone 2018 lineup 6.5 inch iphone 5.8 6.1 gadgetbyte nepal

The 5.8 and 6.5-inch screens will enjoy the OLED technology, whereas the 6.1-inch iPhone will come out with an LCD panel. This implies that, although a huge display, the 6.1-inch iPhone will likely be an entry-level smartphone from Apple for 2018. It will also have the lowest pixel density of around 330 PPI and will carry $650-$750 price tag. Other factors might also come into play for the low price of 6.1-inch iPhone.

The 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch iPhones will feature the same OLED panels with a pixel density of 458 PPI and 500 PPI respectively. All three of the iPhones will also incorporate the on-screen fingerprint sensor which was supposed to come with the current iPhone X. So, with the current pricing strategies, the 6.5 inch iPhone will comfortably cross the $1000 price tag.

None of this news has been confirmed by any official sources and it’s all based on the leaks that have surfaced on the internet. Some of this won’t actually pan out. But it will be exciting to see a cheaper and bigger iPhone. Making big waves will obviously be the larger 6.5-inch iPhone. So what do you think of a 6.5-inch iPhone with a notch(again) making it’s way to production? Let us know in the comments section!

TV signals to go Digital by 2074: Here are the few alternatives of Digital TVs in Nepal

With respect to the deadline set by the International Telecommunication Union of the United Nations (UN), the Government of Nepal began the process of migrating to digital television by amending the National Broadcasting Act 1993 and National Telecommunications Act 1995 in 2012. Due to the devastating earthquake and also the lack of preparation from the government, the private and public sector in the country, this plan had not really come into action. Despite these setbacks, the Government came to a conclusion of digitizing all cable TV operators in the country at the beginning of 2074.

A lot of issues came to light after this declaration by the government. Majority of which was to deal with how to aware the public regarding this subject and how to make sure that all preparations for the digital transmission had been made. Now, a majority of the cable operators have switched to digitization. This digital cable connection has provided the customers with a clear connection and high definition channels. If you are an avid TV viewer but haven’t yet switched from your analog connection then, it is high time that you make the shift to the digital system. If you delay this even more now then you will probably have to be prepared to miss out on your favorite TV shows.

To make your “analog to digital” shift easier, here we have a list of digital cable service providers:

Is 120Hz Refresh Rate on display the future of Smartphone?

Previously when the smartphone space was starting to feel unimaginative, we began to see few new changes, especially in the display domain. First came the edge to edge panels, and recently when tall 18:9 aspect ratio were taking over there’s a new buzz of the 120Hz refresh rate displays. So whats up with this high refresh rate? Is it the next big thing on a smartphone?

So what is 120Hz refresh rate?

120Hz refers to the number of times a display panel can refresh itself. So with a 120Hz panel, it can refresh the display 120 times in one second. This can also be measured in terms of frames per second. In general, it’s a display that can render contents at 120fps. Higher the refresh rate, smoother the video appears, meaning it can capture fast movements by removing motion blurs. But there’s a limit to how much smoothness a human eye can perceive and how natural the content might look at higher frame rates. If you switch from 30fps to 60fps then the difference is immense but any further from 60fps just feels gimmicky for daily usage.

How does it affect viewing content?

Although the display might be refreshing on 120Hz, it’s likely useless if the content you’re viewing is running at the lower refresh rate. Basically, if we talk about smartphones, most of the apps run at 24 or 30fps and few games at 60fps. A 60fps video will be no different on either a 120Hz or a 60Hz display. Any content above 60fps is going to look unnatural and may seem extremely fast compared to what we are used to. Watching videos which involve people and them talking, then higher refresh rate will make it seem really unnatural but if it’s nature documentary, sports or gaming, then you’re in for a treat. It’s just the smoothness of the video and doesn’t have anything to do with the details.

On handheld devices, we have seen the 120Hz panel on Razer Blade Smartphone and the iPad Pro. Apart from videos, the high refresh rate will come in handy when you’re scrolling through contents, typing or switching apps.

Future of Smartphone Display

So in 2018, we might see few flagship phones with a 120Hz display as the craze for VR and AR contents are on the rise. The higher refresh rate will help to make the Augmented content appear more realistic with real-life motion. Obviously, it will need a faster processor to push the device which in turn will also be affecting the battery life. But these high refresh rate displays are usually adaptive as it will adapt refresh rate based on the content being displayed in turn saving the battery life. It’s almost certain that this feature won’t make it to most of the devices in 2018 and a better implementation may take some years. Instead, we will see bezel-less displays with fingerprint incorporated into the display, higher pixel density, new display panel maybe and even 3D displays which is in the making by the awesome camera manufacturer RED.
