Tecno Camon 40 Announced with AMOLED Display and Helio G100 Ultimate

Tecno has announced the Camon 40, a new smartphone featuring an AMOLED display and a MediaTek chipset. The device is set to launch in Q2 2025. This article will discuss the latest Tecno Camon 40, including its expected price in Nepal.

Tecno Camon 40 Overview

Display and Design

The Tecno Camon 40 features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It has a resolution of 1080 x 2436 pixels and supports an always-on display.

iPhone 15 is now available at a discounted price rate

If you are looking for an affordable non-pro iPhone, the iPhone 15 is the way to go. And now, it is also quite a bit more affordable than what it launched for in Nepal. Let’s walk through the specs, features, and the latest price of the iPhone 15 in Nepal in this article.

iPhone 15 Overview:

Design and Display

The iPhone 15 shares an identical visual to the iPhone 14. While the titanium frame is reserved for the Pro/Pro Max siblings, the aerospace-grade aluminum frame is still a sturdy thing on the vanilla iPhone 15. Besides this, its rear panel is polished with nanocrystalline particles for a textured matte finish. Likewise, you get an IP68 rating for protection against dust and water drips. Apple ships this guy in five color options: Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink.

Getting to the display, it’s the same panel as the iPhone 14 Pro at 6.1 inches in size. This Super Retina XDR screen bears an FHD+ resolution (2556 x 1179 pixels), HDR10, Dolby Vision, 2,000 nits of peak brightness, and Ceramic Shield glass protection.

Sadly, the refresh rate has stayed the same at 60Hz to bridge the gap with the Pro siblings. What’s new this time is the arrival of Dynamic Island, Apple’s “innovative” way of making the best out of a notch, introduced in the iPhone 14 Pro Series. And this finally marks the end of the gigantic notch.

A16 Bionic

Running the show on the core of the iPhone 15 is Apple’s last year chipset, the A16 Bionic. To recall, Apple brought the culture of using last-gen chips on the vanilla and Plus models from the iPhone 14 series. While it’s not as powerful as the latest A17 Pro SoC on the iPhone 15 Pro lineup, the A16 Bionic still packs a load of punch.

This 4nm-fabbed chip features a hexa-core architecture with two Everest cores at 3.46GHz and four Sawtooth cores at 2.0GHz clock speeds. Handling the graphics tasks and gaming is the 5-core GPU from Apple.

As for the software, the iPhone 15 boots on the latest iOS 17. This iteration brings a bunch of improvements and customization options such as customized caller ID, message transcription, Namedrop (sharing contact through Airdrop), StandBy Mode, and such.

Also, check out all the prices and full specs of iPhones.

Camera

Getting to the optics, Apple still lays a dual camera setup on this vanilla model. However, the primary shooter gets a resolution bump this time, with a 48MP sensor. This quad-pixel camera brings 100% Focus Pixels for swift autofocus. What’s more interesting is the 24MP super-high-res mode which is set by default. Apple claims superb image quality at a practical file size with this mode. To address the lack of a zoom unit here, this vanilla model offers a 2X telephoto option as well.

Moving to the front, you get a 12MP TrueDepth camera engraved on the Dynamic Island which also doubles as a 3D face scanner for biometrics security.

USB-C and others

With the EU mandating a USB-C port in different consumer electronic goods in its region, Apple has finally abstained from its Lightning port on the entire iPhone 15 Series. Unfortunately, the vanilla model equips an older, slower USB 2.0 port while the Pro siblings enjoy a faster USB 3.0 connection. You still get reverse charging via a USB-C to USB-C cable to charge your new updated AirPods Pro and Apple Watch.

As usual, Apple hasn’t mentioned the actual battery size of its latest iPhones but unofficial third-party teardowns should reveal that info shortly. Anyway, there’s no upgrade in the charging department since the iPhone 15’s wired and wireless charging speed is still capped at 20W and 15W (via MagSafe) respectively.

Whereas the phone still retains satellite connectivity, crash detection, and emergency SOS features. Apple has also introduced “Roadside Assistance” this time which uses satellite connection for calling in help for vehicles in deserted spots with no cellular connectivity.

iPhone 15 Specifications:

Dimension: 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8mm, 171 grams
Display: 6.1‑inch OLED, Super Retina XDR, 60Hz refresh rate

Panasonic Lumix S5 brags the goodies of the S1 in a compact form-factor at $1999

In an online launch event held yesterday, Panasonic unveiled the 4th entry in its LUMIX S series of full-frame mirrorless cameras – the DC-S5. It is the first of its kind from Panasonic in a compact form factor. According to the company, it is designed for both photo & videography. Let’s find out more about the Panasonic Lumix S5 including its features, specs, expected price & availability in Nepal.

Design

At just 714gm (including memory card & battery), the Lumix S5 is way more comfortable to hold than its bulkier S1 or S1H sibling – both of which weigh well over 1,000 grams. It has a die-cast magnesium alloy body with weather sealing (dust/splash resistance), so concerns about durability are out of the question. This camera is also equipped to handle temperatures of up to 40°C or 104°F which is thanks to the built-in heat dissipation. It is especially impressive when you consider S5’s compact form factor.

Lumix S5 has a 2.36m-dot OLED EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) with up to 0.74x magnification. Here, the 1.84m-dot LCD panel is of free-angle allowing users to tilt the screen to an angle of their choosing. It measures 3.0-inches and supports touch control as well. On the left side, you’ll find the dual memory card slots. Unfortunately, only one of them is the supports UHS-II card while the other accepts the slower UHS-I memory cards.

It also has a dedicated 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack. Lumix S5’s 2200mAh battery charges via a USB Type-C (USB 3.1) cable and it also features a Type-D Micro HDMI connection for external monitoring/recording. In terms of wireless connectivity, this camera supports dual-band WiFi (2.4/5GHz) and Bluetooth v4.2 (BLE). However, Panasonic says the faster 5GHz connection isn’t available in every region.

Sensor & AutoFocus

The image sensor on the Lumix S5 is the same 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor as found in much more expensive Lumix S1. And just like that, it uses contrast AF (AutoFocus) with DFD (Depth From Defocus) system instead of Phase Detection AF (PDAF) found in competing products from companies like Sony. Because of the slow nature of contrast AF, the Lumix S5 isn’t the most ideal option for high-paced scenarios like sports photography.

Panasonic says this design choice is in favor of better image quality. The new AF system has 225 AF areas and 0.08s AF acquisition time where the sensor & lens communicate at speeds of up to 480fps. The company says it has improved facial recognition using deep learning technology and it can lock focus & track human head, face, body, and even animals. Lumix S5 delivers great AF performance in low-light scenarios, all the way down to -6 EV.

Videos

In terms of videos, it maxes out on 4K recordings at 60fps at 4:2:0 10-bit under APS-C or 30fps at 4:2:2 10-bit using full sensor area. Here, the 10-bit videos are limited to 30 minutes of continuous recording whereas 4K/30p 4:2:0 8-bit videos have no recording limit. This is done specifically to prevent heat buildup within the chassis. However, using Atomos Ninja V HDMI recorder, the Lumix S5 can also output 5.9K RAW video at up to 30fps. It offers 14+ stops dynamic range with V-Log & V-Gamut space based on Varicam color science. You can also shoot HDR videos under the HLG profile on Lumix S5 at 4K resolution.

Also Read:

Getting to sensitivity, this camera caps out at ISO 51,200 (or 204800 extended ISO) for photos. It also supports dual native ISOs of 640 and 4000 for reducing noise by extending the dynamic range. There’s also a “Slow & Quick Motion” recording that can shoot FHD videos at up to 150 – 180fps or up to 60fps in 4K resolution with some significant cropping.

Images

Moving on to still images, the Lumix S5 can also capture 96MP images on top of 24MP shots; thanks to the IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) – in both JPEG and RAW format. Here, the IBIS takes 8x consecutive images all shifted slightly which are then combined into a single high-res image.

Talking about stabilization, it has a 5-axis Body IS with 5 stops and lens OIS up to 6.5 stops. Lumix S5 has the latest Venus Engine image processor. The “Live View Composite” feature where the shutter releases at different intervals of exposure. It then merges the bright part of the shot into a single image. You also get 4K and 6K photo modes. The latter is extracted from a 30fps video (18MP frame).

Panasonic Lumix S5 Key Specifications:

Body: 5.22W x 3.82H x 3.22D-inches; 714gm (w/ 1x memory card, battery); dust/splash resistant
Battery: DMW-BLK22E 2200mAh Li-Ion (7.2V, 16Wh)

HMD launches Fusion X1 with pre-installed Xplora Parental Control

HMD has dropped the Fusion X1, a phone built with young people in mind. This phone isn’t just about style, it’s packed with safety features like continuous location tracking, app limits, low battery warnings, and parental controls. Let’s break it down, shall we?

HMD Fusion X1 Overview

Xplora Parental Control Platform

HMD did some homework, talking to 25,000 parents and kids from places like Australia, India, the UAE, the UK, and the US. Based on that, they decided to make the Xplora Parental Control platform pre-installed in their Fusion X1 for kids’ safety. Generally, Xplora is a paid subscription-based service that allows parents to track location, get alerts, control contacts, approve apps, and even manage screen time. Sure, it’s free for now, but who knows? HMD could charge for it later as a marketing trick.

Design and Display

In terms of design, the Fusion X1 is sleek and looks like any other phone; nothing groundbreaking here. There are two versions: one regular set and one super special Barca Fusion edition. The Barca Fusion has a Barcelona-themed case with player signatures that glow under UV light. You’ll also find FC Barcelona-themed sounds, visuals, and pre-loaded apps. Now that’s a soccer fan’s dream (I guess).

Moving on to the display, the device has a 6.56-inch LCD panel with a 720 x 1612 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The brightness is typically 480 nits but goes up to 600 nits in boost mode, so it’s good for most conditions.

Also, read:

Performance and Rest

Under the hood, the Fusion X1 packs an octa-core Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, with a 2 Cortex A78 clocking at the speed of 2.2 GHz and 6 Cortex A55 clocking at the speed of 2.0 GHz. The Adreno 613 handles the graphics, so it’s decent for gaming and everyday use. Additionally, you get options with 6/128GB or 8/256GB storage, plus expandable storage via a microSD card (hybrid slot, so choose between a second SIM or microSD).

In terms of software, the HMD Fusion X1 runs Android 14 and promises two major OS updates and three years of security patches. For the battery, the device is powered with a 5,00 mAh battery on board with support for 33W charging.

On the camera side, you get a 108MP main sensor, a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, and a 50MP front camera for selfies. Moreover, the Fusion X1 comes with a 3.5mm jack and NFC support.

A worthy shot?

Honestly, HMD has made a good call with the Xplora Parental Control service. It’s a great way to keep track of your teen’s phone activities. But my question is, will teens actually want to buy this phone just for that feature? If we’re being real, the design doesn’t scream “cool,” and that’s a big deal for teens. But hey, who are we to judge? Maybe it’ll catch on.

HMD Fusion X1 Specifications:

Design: Sleek, minimal, two models (regular and Barcelona edition)
Display: 6.56-inch LCD, 720 x 1612 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, 600 nits max brightness
Chipset: Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (2x Cortex A78, 6x Cortex A55)
Graphics: Adreno 613
OS/UI: Android 14, 2 OS updates, 3 years of security patches
RAM: 6GB or 8GB
Storage: 128GB or 256GB, expandable via microSD (hybrid slot)
Rear Camera: 108MP main, 2MP depth sensor
Front Camera: 50MP
Battery: 5,000mAh, 33W fast charging
Audio: 3.5mm jack for wired headphones
Color: Blau and Grana

HMD Fusion X Availability

The phone has been launched, but HMD has yet to reveal the price. We will update this article after the price launch. Stay tuned for updates!

Itel launches its Power 70 as a budget phone with an insane battery capacity

Itel has just launched a new budget phone called the Power 70. This phone looks pretty sleek and has an awesome battery capacity. In this article, we’ll go over the specifications of the Power 70 and discuss its expected price in Nepal.

Itel Power 70 Overview

Battery and Connectivity

Let’s kick things off with the phone’s most impressive feature: its battery. The Itel Power 70 comes with a 6,000mAh battery, which is already a good deal for a budget phone. But where things get better is the 4,000mAh charging case, which comes included as a launch gift. This gives you a total of 10,000 mAh. Just keep in mind that the case doesn’t support wireless charging (guess we will have to sacrifice somewhere), so you’ll need to plug it in via USB Type-C. Fortunately, it supports 18W wired charging, though.

As per the company, the phone lasts 48 hours with regular use and can handle battery-hungry apps like TikTok for up to 25 hours straight. Come on, this is something we are now using for marketing? “25 hrs Non-stop Tiktok”? Well, good for you!

Design and Display

Design-wise, the Itel Power 70 is pretty standard for a budget phone. It’s got an all-plastic build with a glass front. On the back, you’ll find three cameras and an LED light (I suppose) with the words “MARATHON POWER” on it, hinting at the phone’s battery life. Additionally, it measures 165.92 x 77.31 x 7.98 mm and weighs 200 grams, so it’s not the lightest, but it’s still pretty comfortable to hold. You can choose from Black, Silver, Marine, and Gold colors.

On the front, it has a 6.67-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The peak brightness is 700 nits, and Itel calls it a “Sunlight Display,” claiming it works well in direct sunlight. They’ve also mentioned that it supports wet and oily touch control. Sounds like a lot of features for a budget phone, right? Maybe too good to be true.

Performance and Other Features

Now, let’s talk about what’s inside. The Power 70 features an octa-core MediaTek Helio G50 Ultimate chipset, which has 8 Cortex-A53 cores running at 2.20 GHz. For graphics, it has an IMG PowerVR GE8320. The phone comes with up to 8GB of RAM and offers different storage options: 4/128GB, 6/128GB, 8/128GB, 4/256GB, and 8/256GB. You can also expand the storage with a microSD card, but it uses eMMC 5.1 storage, which is slower than UFS storage.

Also, read:

For the cameras, there’s a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera, both capable of recording video in 1080p. Other features include two nano SIM slots, a single loudspeaker, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Itel Power 70 Specifications

Design: 165.92 x 77.31 x 7.98 mm, 200g
Display: 6.67-inch HD+, 120Hz, 700 nits peak brightness
Chipset: MediaTek Helio G50 Ultimate
RAM: Up to 8GB
Storage: 4/128GB, 6/128GB, 8/128GB, 4/256GB, 8/256GB
Rear Camera: 13MP
Front Camera: 8MP
Battery: 6,000mAh (with 4,000mAh charging case, total 10,000mAh)
Connectivity: Dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, 3.5mm jack
Security: Side-mounted fingerprint reader
Audio: Single loudspeaker
Colors: Black, Silver, Marine, Gold

Itel Power 70 Availability and Price in Nepal

The Power 70 is priced under USD 85, which includes the charging case. However, when it lands in Nepal, I think we might have to pay separately for the case. So, we are expecting the price of the Itel Power 70 to be around NPR 15,000 in Nepal.

Itel Smartphone	Price in India (Expected)	Price in Nepal (Expected)
Power 70	USD 85	NPR 15,000

Xiaomi’s Modular Optical System aims to redefine mobile photography with a detachable lens

Xiaomi has unveiled its new Modular Optical System at the Mobile World Congress 2025. This concept features a detachable lens that connects magnetically and transfers power and data. The phone was also featured in YouTuber MrWhosetheBoss’s latest video where he showcased it alongside the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. This article will discuss everything about the latest Xiaomi’s concept phone.

Xiaomi Modular Optical System Overview

Lens Details

The modular system features a 35mm f/1.4 lens paired with a 100-megapixel Light Fusion X Type 4/3 sensor. The lens connects magnetically to the phone and uses proprietary LaserLink technology for power and data transfer. According to the British YouTuber, this setup offers significantly advanced low-light performance

Camera Experience

The lens integrates with the phone’s camera app, which allows users to shoot in RAW format. Additionally, it provides manual focus adjustments with a physical focus ring and an autofocus motor. The system also includes AI-driven features like portrait mode for photography.

LaserLink Technology

LaserLink enables high-speed data transfer at up to 10 Gbps. This basically allows the lens to connect with the phone, and offer efficient power and data management. The technology is compatible with Xiaomi’s AI and computational photography features.

The lens is portable and designed for easy attachment. It draws power from the phone and uses minimal battery. The system also supports future expansion with potential accessories like chargers and mobile controllers.

Expansion Beyond Photography

The system might support other Xiaomi devices, such as smart home products and speakers, using LaserLink. The lack of Qi2 support in the Xiaomi 15 series could be related to this proprietary system.

The system also provides the feel of using a premium compact camera, saving photos directly to the phone’s gallery. Manual and autofocus options give users more control over their shots. However, the system’s battery consumption may reduce phone battery life.

Xiaomi Concept Phone Potential and Availability

While still a concept, the Xiaomi Modular Optical System aka Xiaomi concept phone does show potential for future improvements. Future versions could include additional accessories like storage drives and upgraded lens quality through collaborations with other brands. Stay tuned for more information and news regarding Xiaomi.

Realme launches Note 60 in Nepal with Unisco T612 chip

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.

Camera and Battery

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
Display: 6.74” IPS LCD Panel, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, 560 nits peak brightness
Resolution: HD+ (720 x 1,600)
Chipset: Octa-core UNISOC T612 (12nm)
RAM: 6GB RAM
ROM: 128GB + 2TB expandable with MicroSD card
OS & UI: Android 14 with Realme UI on top
Rear Camera: Dual Camera (32MP Primary + auxiliary lens of unspecified resolution)
Front Camera: 5MP Camera (Centre-aligned waterdrop cutout)
Security: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Face Unlock
Battery: 5,000 mAh cell with 10W wired charging

Redmi Buds 6 Play launched in Nepal at an affordable price!

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.

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.
