Realme has launched two new Realme Note devices in Nepal: the Realme Note 60 and Note 60x. This article will focus on the former one. It is pretty much a carbon copy of another smartphone from Realme itself. Let’s take a look at Realme Note 60 and discuss its official price in Nepal as well.
Realme Note 60 Overview
Design and Display
As I mentioned earlier, the Realme Note 60 is quite similar to another Realme offering, which is Narzo N61. The phones look the same and share the majority of the hardware too. That being said, it features Realme’s ArmorShell protection, which is a bunch of design choices that add to the phone’s durability. This one offers an IP64 rating against ingress and water exposure, which is higher and better than the IP54 on the Narzo counterpart.
The Realme Note 60 features a 6.74-inch display on the front. While the company does not mention the type of panel on the phone, it likely is a IPS LCD. Regardless, it offers a 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and 560 nits peak brightness. It ships in Voyage Blue and Marble Black colours, wherein the former features wavy patterns across the back.
Performance
The performance on this thing is delivered by the UNISOC T612 processor, which is the same as the one on the Realme Narzo N61. It is an octa-core chipset with 12nm fabbing and a peak clock speed of 1.8GHz. The Realme Note 60 comes in 6GB + 128GB configuration in Nepal.
This phone allows you to convert up to 16GB of storage into Dynamic RAM. It also allows you to externally expand your storage by an additional 2TB! Realme offers the “AI Boost” on the Note 60 as well. This feature apparently allows you to fine-tune the power output of the phone.
The camera department is led by a 32MP shooter which is coupled with an unknown auxiliary shooter. It is plausible that this supporting lens serves no other purpose than for aesthetics. Meanwhile, Realme does not mention anything about the front camera on the Note 60. However, given its resemblance to the Narzo N61, it could likely have the same 5MP unit.
Battery-wise, we are looking at a 5,000 mAh cell with standard charging speed. Additionally, the phone offers some nifty features on the software side as well. For instance, it comes with Mini Capsule 2.0 which is basically Apple’s Dynamic Island knock-off. Likewise, Realme has calibrated the Note 60 such that it does not mix up the user’s touch command and water droplets on the screen.
Realme Note 60 Specifications
Design: Monotone or patterned finish on the back, IP64-rated
Realme has launched the Note 60x in Nepal. It’s a budget phone with fairly all-around capability such as Unisoc T612 processor and 90Hz LCD panel. This article will discuss the latest Realme Note 60x, including its official price in Nepal.
Realme Note 60x Overview
Display and Performance
The Realme Note 60X brings in the typical Realme vibe with a flat frame design. It has a die-cast aluminum chassis and ArmorShell adding superb durability and toughness for a budget phone. Likewise, you get an IP54 rating as well. Moreover, it has a 6.74-inch HD+ IPS LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and 560 nits brightness. It runs on a Unisoc T612 processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, enough for basic tasks.
Camera
The Note 60x features an 8MP rear camera for simple shots and a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. It also features an 8MP main camera, a step down from the Note 60’s 32MP camera.
It packs a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging. The phone runs on Realme UI based on Android 14. Meanwhile, there’s a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security. It also has an IP54 rating for some dust and water protection.
Honor has introduced the Honor Watch 5 Ultra, the first in its lineup to feature ECG functionality. The smartwatch also brings a new Free Diving Mode and a titanium build. Alongside the watch, Honor announced the global launch of the Honor Pad V9 and Honor Buds Open. This article will discuss everything about the latest Honor Watch 5 Ultra, including its expected price in Nepal.
Honor Watch 5 Ultra Overview
Design and Display
The Honor Watch 5 Ultra features a circular display inside an octagonal frame. It uses Grade 5 titanium alloy for the mid-frame, while the back consists of a ceramic-like material and a polymer fiber composite. The front is protected by sapphire crystal. The watch is available in Black and Brown, with a fluoroelastomer and leather strap option.
The watch has a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with a 466 x 466 resolution and 310 PPI. It uses LTPO technology, allowing an adaptive refresh rate of up to 60Hz. The Always-On Display mode is also available.
Durability and Water Resistance
The Honor Watch 5 Ultra introduces a Free Diving Mode, supporting dives up to 40m (130ft) underwater. This is an improvement over previous Honor smartwatches, which had a 5 ATM water resistance rating.

The watch includes ECG functionality for the first time. The Quick Health Scan provides instant ECG readings, and the Health Monitor Report summarizes daily health data. Other features include** all-day health tracking** for heart rate, blood oxygen, and stress levels, healthy morning Report with a daily health summary and over 100 sports modes for fitness tracking.
User Interface and Features
Users can navigate the interface using the rotating crown. The watch supports over 10,000 watch faces and Scenario Service Cards for quick access to weather, fitness tracking, and other functions. A built-in speaker allows users to take calls directly from the watch.
Redmi introduced three new versions of its TWS earbuds in the 6 series: the Active, Lite, and Play back in 2024. Now, the latter two have launched in Nepal as well. So, in this article, we’ll explore the design, specifications, and official price of the Redmi Buds 6 Play in Nepal.
Redmi Buds 6 Play Overview
Design
The design of the Redmi Buds 6 Play closely mirrors that of the Redmi Buds 6 Lite but with a distinct short-stem look and a matte finish. With a bean-shaped structure, they come in an in-ear fit design. These earbuds provide an IPX4 rating, offering reliable protection against water splashes. Each earbud weighs 4.2 grams, making them slightly heftier than the Redmi Buds 6 Active, but that will surely not make any compromise their portability. The charging case sports a slee, curved design with a small external light indicator. These earbuds are available in Blue, White, Blue, and Pink colour.
Audio
Talking about the audio, the Redmi Buds 6 Play is fitted with 10mm dynamic drivers. They have AI-driven noise reduction technology, ensuring clear audio during calls. Additionally, the earbuds offer five distinct EQ modes: Standard, Enhanced Bass, Enhanced Voice, Enhanced Treble, and Enhanced Volume – that are designed to distinguish between human voices and background noise, effectively minimizing surrounding disturbances even in noisy environments.
Features and Battery
The Buds 6 Play is coupled with Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring efficient wireless connectivity with support for low-energy, HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP profiles. They feature a one-tap Bluetooth pairing function, though it’s currently limited to Android devices only.
In terms of battery life, each earbud houses a 57mAh battery, while the charging case contains a 600mAh cell. The buds offer up to 7.5 hours of playtime on a single charge, and with the charging case, this extends to 36 hours. Additionally, a quick 10-minute charge provides approximately 3 hour of playback, making them convenient for on-the-go use.
The Buds 6 Play are available for purchase in Nepal from our affiliate partner Hukut Store. Redmi Buds 6 Play price in Nepal is just NPR 1,999. From the spec sheet, it looks like a very appealing option for the price but stay tuned for our full review to find out for sure!
Redmi has just announced two new earbuds in Nepal: Buds 6 Play and Buds 6 Lite. We are going to talk about the latter in this short article discussing its features and specifications. In the end, we will also discuss Redmi Buds 6 Lite’s official price in Nepal alongside availability details.
Redmi Buds 6 Lite Overview

The Redmi Buds 6 Lite comes with Bluetooth v5.3 for wireless connectivity with your smartphone. It also offers a fast pairing feature, but only for Android devices. Moreover, you can access additional functionalities and customisation through the earbuds’ companion app — Xiaomi Earbuds. In the app, the user can toggle between various modes of noise cancellation and switch between four preset EQs as well as tailor one as per their preference.
Talking of the battery, these buds pack a 45mAh battery each and the charging has a 480mAh cell inside it. With this combination, the Redmi Buds 6 Lite can last up to 38 hours. This number is achieved when the buds are used with AAC codec, volume is set at 50%, and other functions are on default. Similarly, under the same conditions, the earpieces independently offer 7 hours of playtime. In the meantime, charging this Redmi audio accessory for a quick 10 minutes translates to two hours of usage.
The Redmi Buds 6 Lite went live in Europe back in September of 2024, but they have just arrived in Nepal! The Redmi Buds 6 Lite price in Nepal is NPR 3,499. It is available in White, Black, and Blue color options.
Infinix has been experimenting with foldable smartphones for a while now, and guess what it’s planning next? Well, it’s a triple-folding concept phone! In this article, we’ll dive into the details of the Infinix Zero Mini Tri-Fold.
Infinix Zero Mini Tri-Fold Overview
As for now, Huawei’s Mate XT is the only triple fold smartphone available in the market. Following this trend, Transsion Holdings introduced the Zero Series Mini Tri-Fold through its subsidiary Infinix in a press release on Thursday.
Design and Use Case
Infinix has unveiled the concept of the Zero Mini Tri-Fold. As per the company, this device is designed to replace several gadgets with a single, versatile solution. While we don’t have full details yet about the hardware, the company showcased a unique dual-hinge design that allows the phone to fold and unfold vertically into three different sizes. Moreover, the device has a special strap to mount it on various surfaces, making it a true multitasker.
This phone is more than just a smartphone, meaning it can transform into a compact camera, ready to be attached to your bag or bicycle, or even serve as a dash cam for your car. And when you’re on the go, the strap makes it easy to carry like an extra pocket. There’s more! Infinix imagines the Zero Mini Tri-Fold as a handy, hands-free gym partner. It can track workouts, guide you through exercise routines, or help you navigate hiking trails.
Furthermore, the dual-screen enables real-time multilingual conversation with translated content displayed side-by-side for both users. All this, while featuring dual rear-camera and being designed for one-handed use.
Availability and More
When folded, the Infinix Zero Mini Tri-Fold will remind you of the Infinix Zero Flip. The prototype has a hole-punch cutout on the screen and dual rear cameras, making it a sleek, futuristic device. While all the details regarding the device are still under wraps, rumors suggest we might learn more about this phone at MWC 2025. Stay tuned until further update.
Infinix unveiled its Note 50 series at MWC 2025 and we’ve already talked quite a lot about the base Note 50 (4G) already. So, here, we’ll be taking a quick peek at the specs and features of the Infinix Note 50 Pro 4G alongside its expected price in Nepal and availability.
Infinix Note 50 Pro 4G Overview
Design and Display
Both the Note 50 and Note 50 Pro (4G) rock the same eye-turning design with weirdly boxy cameras in a sleek and modern chassis. The frame is now made up of an ‘Armor Alloy’ material said to combine the strength of Damascus Steel and Aerospace Grade Aluminium. Well, we don’t know that for sure but it sounds pretty reliable. There’s also an IP64 rating and the Pro edition is available in 4 cool color options: Dreamy Purple, Shadow Black, Titanium Grey, and a special Racing Edition.
As for the screen, you get a super fast 144Hz AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of up to 1300 nits. It’s a 6.78-inch across the diagonal with a typical FHD+ resolution we’ve been seeing in smartphones. There’s Corning Gorilla Glass protection, TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light certification, and an embedded optical fingerprint sensor as well.
Performance and Memory
Under the hood, the Infinix Note 50 Pro is powered by the same MediaTek Helio G100 Ultimate chipset as its non-Pro variant. This 6nm processor features a 2+6 configuration with Cortex A76 performance (@ 2.2 GHz) and Cortex A55 (@2.0 GHz) efficiency cores. On the GPU end, it’s the Mali G57 MP2 which should suffice for light gaming on the side!
The Infinix Note 50 Pro (4G) ships with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The smartphone boots on XOS-15 skin on top of Android 15.
Camera and Battery
On the rear, you are greeted by a 50MP primary alongside an 8MP ultrawide and a flicker sensor. There’s also Infinix’s new Halo AI lighting that provided real-time updates for timers, alerts, calls, and notifications. The front houses a 32MP front camera – a step up from the 13MP unit we saw on the base Note 50.
For power, the Note 50 Pro relies on its massive 5,200 mAh cell juiced at up to 90W via the provided adapter. There’s also wireless charging support up to 30W alongside 10W reverse wired charging.
Infinix AI and Extras
There’s also something new called Infinix AI∞ which is an AI assistant likely replacing Infinix’s existing AI Folax. Infinix AI∞ can help you navigate your smartphone by finding you photos, making notes, summarizing text, generating AI images, and much more. It’s activated by pressing the power button on the right and has other impressive abilities like real time call translation, auto call answering, and noise reduction (during calls) as well.
The Pro edition gets a similar set of JBL tuned speakers (stereo), dual band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB 2.0 Type-C port. There’s also NFC, infrared sensor, and X-axis vibration motor in the Infinix Note 50 Pro (4G).

Sony Electronics, the worldwide leader in digital imaging and the largest image sensor manufacturer has recently launched a new Full frame mirrorless camera in their lineup. Dubbed as, Sony A7 III, this new full frame camera possesses some beastly specs from the flagship Sony A9 and Sony A7 R III. With the numerous additions in the features and myriads of upgrades to its predecessor, the A7 III is posing threats even to the Canon and Nikon flagships.
Sony A7 III Overview
Sony A7 III is similar to A7 R III in terms of design and aesthetics. However, if the device is compared to the A7 II, the biggest and most noticeable difference will be the replacement of the AF/ML and AEL switch with a joystick/toggle. With this change, navigating a menu or adjusting autofocus while shooting will be easy and seamless.
A lot of improvements can also be seen in the EVF (Electronic View Finder). With the high-resolution, high-contrast, fast-start XGA OLED Tru-Finder packing approximately 2.3 million dots, A7 III portrays an extremely accurate, true-to-life detail reproduction.
Sony managed to equip the camera with a smaller and more manageable 24.2-megapixel sensor. The back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor coupled is coupled with front-end LSI in the device. Sony boasts that with this setup, the device can process the images with 2x readout speed. In addition, the camera maker assured that with the presence of the BIONZ X processing engine, the processing speed of the Sony A7 III will be 1.8 times better than the A7 II.
The impressive AF performance of the A9 and A7R III had every photographer awe-inspired. So Sony decided to give continuity to that feature in the A7 III also. With 425 contrast AF points that work with a 693-point focal-plane phase-detection AF system, the camera is really impressive. This innovative AF system covers approximately 93% of the frame. As a result, reliable focusing and tracking can be obtained even when it is difficult to capture the subjects.
Using the longer-lived battery that debuted with the A9, Sony boasts the A73 lasts 710 shots per charge, though that’s with the back LCD. With the viewfinder, it is rated at 610. Still, that is still pretty good compared to the rest of the mirrorless pack.

Nepal Telecom Corporation (NTC) has finally launched the much-anticipated eSIM service in the country. This state-owned telecom giant has signed an agreement with a UK-based company to provide eSIM services to its customers. In this post, we will be discussing the key features of eSIM and its implementation, and also discussing the process of how to get NTC eSIM in Nepal.
Nepal Telecom (NTC) eSIM implementation:
What is an eSIM?
eSIM or Embedded SIM is a digital SIM that allows you to use cellular services from the telecom operator without having to use a physical SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card. That means there’s no need to insert a physical card into the phone. Instead, the telco operator will remotely connect your device to their network and provide you with a mobile number and its services.
Also, the information on an eSIM is rewritable, meaning you can decide to change your operator with a simple phone call. This technology is backed by GSMA which has defined the standards for eSIM worldwide.
Nepal Telecom is the first carrier to allow eSIM connection in Nepal. The telecom operator allocated a budget for the project in the fiscal year 2078/79 to deploy its own eSIM platform. Similarly, NTC signed an arrangement with Monty UK Global Limited in April 2022 to provide an eSIM platform to the company.
NTC’s eSIM has now been available in Nepal from Bhadra 31, 2079 (September 16, 2022). The company had only allocated 50 units for distribution on the first day—that too from a single branch office (Sundhara). However, you can now get eSIM from all other Nepal Telecom counters outside the Kathmandu Valley as well.
How to know if my phone supports eSIM?
Okay, before you get in line to upgrade to an eSIM, it’s crucial to know whether your smartphone supports eSIM or not. The general rule of thumb is that if you have a relatively new flagship phone or tablet, then it might support eSIM. But to be really sure, simply dial “*#06#”.
If your device is indeed eSIM compatible, you should see an EID (Embedded Identification Document) value pop-up alongside the IMEI numbers. You can also get this info under the “Status Information” section (it might have a different name depending on your phone’s manufacturer) inside the Settings. Or, you can also check the phone’s product page to learn about its eSIM compatibility.
How to get NTC eSIM in Nepal?
All existing prepaid and postpaid customers of NTC are eligible for the eSIM upgrade at the cost of 50 rupees.
If you are looking to buy a new eSIM, it will bear the charge of a new physical SIM card; 90 rupees plus 50 rupees as an e-SIM conversion charge.
You can do it online via Nepal Telecom app or visit any NTC office near your home to get an eSIM.
To do it online, all you need is to fill out a form, and then submit it with an original photo of the official document. But do note, you must have the document in hand to do so, the app/website doesn’t allow uploading from gallery.
And you’ll get a QR code sent to your email.
If you have some spare time, you can visit the NTC office counter and submit the same form offline with the photocopy of your citizenship (both sides) attached. That’s it.
An NT staff will then proceed to activate eSIM on your phone. The whole process takes like 3-5 minutes, provided that you’re already at the front of the queue. You will also receive a piece of paper with a QR code, ICCID (Integrated Circuit Card ID) number, and an activation code in case you want to switch phones. But in case you want to revert back to a physical SIM card, Nepal Telecom says you’re gonna have to visit their office yet again and fill out a form requesting so.
How to set up eSIM on your phone?
To set up an eSIM (whether you have an Android or iOS device), open up the Settings menu and search for “Add Mobile Plan” (Android) or “Add Cellular Plan” (iPhone).
This option might have a different name depending on the Android smartphone manufacturer, but you should find it under the “SIM Card Manager” menu inside Settings.
Now, you will get an option to scan a QR code with your eSIM profile. Just follow the on-screen instructions to customize the plan name if required. And voilà, your NTC eSIM is ready!
iPhone 14 / 15 series purchased from the US will work in Nepal?
Apple announced the iPhone 14 series with eSIM-only models for the US region and the trend was followed with the iPhone 15 Series as well. So users might be unsure whether US variants of the latest iPhones will work in Nepal. So, let’s talk about it here.
There are a few factors that influence the use of the latest iPhones in Nepal. First off, the Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) has implemented its long-awaited Mobile Device Management System (MDMS) service from September 15, 2022.
So any smartphone brought into Nepal from foreign countries—including the US—will now be considered grey or illegally imported devices if they’re not registered under the system. And such devices will be effectively blocked from the network of all telecom operators in Nepal.
But the entire MDMS thing has kinda gone back and forth with so-called full implementations to website crashing and whatnot! However, to be on the safe side, your iPhone must be registered under MDMS to use an eSIM in Nepal.
Besides MDMS, the other important factor to consider when purchasing the latest iPhone from the US is cellular connectivity. As mentioned earlier, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 lineup in the US only supports eSIM. So to enable cellular connectivity on those devices here in Nepal, you will also require a telecom operator that provides an eSIM facility.
And since Nepal Telecom now offers eSIM to its customers, you will be able to use the iPhone 14 series without any trouble. Granted that you have registered the phone under MDMS, of course.
Some Frequently Asked Questions about NTC eSIM
How much do I have to pay for a NTC eSIM?
You’ll have to pay 50 rupees if you are converting from a physical SIM card to eSIM. If you are getting a new eSIM number, you’ll have to pay 140 rupees altogether.

Yes, eSIM is completely safe to use.
Does eSIM function as a regular SIM card?
