Moto X4 with Dual Camera & Turbo Charging Launched

The X-series from Motorola was replaced with the introduction of Z-Series. Moto X and all of its iterations were some of the best products from Motorola. This series offered the upper midrange specifications for a considerably low price. Z series being all flagship, Motorola was missing the upper midrange market. So with that, today the Moto X series has been revived again with the launch of Moto X4.

Moto X4 comes with a 3D rear contoured design with a Glass Back which is a fingerprint magnet. But for a mid-range phone, this is a top-tier specs, only found on flagships like Galaxy S8’s. The phone houses a 5.2-inch Full HD display and is protected with an unspecified version of Gorilla Glass. The phone has 68.2% screen to body ratio due to which it has minimal side bezels but the top and bottom chin are thick. The bottom chin also houses the fingerprint sensor which has support for gestures.

Powering the Moto X4 is a 14nm based Snapdragon 630 octa-core chipset clocked at 2.2GHz. The phone comes in 2 variants: 3GB of RAM with 32GB ROM and 4GB of RAM with 64GB of RAM. The major highlight of the device is its Dual Camera setup with a dial design on the camera bump. Moto X4 carries a 12MP Primary lens and an 8MP secondary wide angle lens which provides a 120-degree field of view. A few days back, we also saw the LG V30 with a similar functionality. You can also shoot portraits and as beta features, there’s selective black and white mode. It comes with Dual Pixel technology for faster focus even at low light. And for selfies, it carries a 16MP camera which is optimized for low light conditions. The front camera also offers panorama mode, so no one gets cut off from the photo.

Another praiseworthy feature of Moto X4 is, it comes with IP68 water and dust resistant. This is better than the splash protection provided on the flagship, Moto Z2. Moto X series was renowned for its hands-free usability and it is back in X4 with the use of Amazon Alexa. However, this service is only available for European countries. You do have the Google Assistant baked inside the Android. Motorola staying true to its value provides stock Android on Moto X4. The phone will also be getting regular updates for 2 years.

Moto X4 incorporates Bluetooth 5.0 which enables it to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices. The phone is backed up by a 3,000mAh battery. The battery size is rather small but Motorola promises the handset to be actively usable for 24 hours. But even if that doesn’t live up to its statement, the Turbo Charger will take care of the rest.

Specifications of Moto X4

5.2 inches LTPS IPS LCD Full HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection
Android 7.1 (Nougat), upgradable to Oreo
Snapdragon 630 Chipset with Octa-core 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, Adreno 508 GPU

LG V30 Launched: Everything You Need to Know

LG V30 Launched: Everything You Need to Know

LG initiated the trend of bezel-less display for 2017 with the launch of LG G6. And today at IFA, LG announced its second flagship for the year, the long awaited LG V30 which has a similar aesthetics to the LG V20 but with a much minimal approach. The phone has removed the gimmicky second display and now stands tall with a bezel-less 6-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio.

With LG V30, the V-Series has finally dropped the metal body and opted for more premium glass black. The glass back used here is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The series has also dropped the secondary display up top, which was controversial as it proved to have no principle use. And more importantly, it has opted for OLED panel instead of an IPS panel. So now, LG V30 goes head to head with the Galaxy S8 with a 6-inch Quad HD P-OLED panel. The phone also somewhat resembles the Galaxy S8 from the front with round bezels but it doesn’t have an edge display. LG has definitely stepped up its display game this time around.

Like any other flagship, the V30 is powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset coupled with 4GB of RAM. The performance of this device should be on par with any other flagships. The phone comes in two variants, one with 64GB storage and another with 128GB storage. The phone fortunately still has the option for expansion up to 256GB. The V30 has now addressed few of the essential features like IP68 water and dust resistant, wireless charging, Quad DAC for hi-fi audio and much improvement in the visual aspect. The phone is running on Android 7.1.2 Nougat with LG’s own UI on top which, still, is pretty crappy. The phone will be receiving the treat of Oreo soon.

LG V-Series is all about its camera performance. The new V30 comes with Dual Camera setup, the primary one carries a 16MP sensor with f/1.6 aperture and the secondary camera is of 13MP with f/1.9 aperture. Both of this camera is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The wide aperture of the camera will certainly help during low-light conditions. The secondary camera is a wide angle lens which gives 120 degrees field of view. The V20 introduced the manual settings while recording video which was first of its kind. In the new V30, it still offers the manual control in videos but it has something more to offer this time. With “Cine Video” mode, the V30 provides 12 Color Grade options which will step up the video game for more cinematic experience. This mode also enables to tap on something in the frame and zoom on it. While filming, the phone records lossless audio which is a niche feature. The LG V30 is the perfect phone for home grown movie makers and photography enthusiasts. And up front, it comes with a 5MP camera, which doesn’t seem to be compelling in the numbers game.

The LG V30 is backed up by an iffy 3300 mAh battery. Considering the specs of the phone, it is seemingly small but on the bright side, it comes with Quick Charge 3.0 which will juice up the phone in no time.

Specifications of LG V30:

6.0 inches (1440 x 2880) P-OLED with 18:9 aspect ratio
Corning Gorilla Glass 5 Protection
Android 7.1 Nougat with LG UX 6.0+
Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 Chipset
Octa-core (4×2.45 GHz Kryo & 4×1.9 GHz Kryo) CPU with Adreno 540 GPU
4GB RAM; 64GB/128GB storage, expandable up to 256GB
Dual 16 MP (f/1.6, OIS, 3-axis, laser & phase detection autofocus) + 13 MP (f/1.9, no AF), LED flash, 4K @30fps
5MP front facing camera
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Fingerprint Sensor, USB C
Non-removable 3300mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 (wired+wireless)
Expected LG V30 Price in Nepal (Unofficial): Rs. 85,000

Xiaomi Mi 6 with 128GB Storage Launched in Nepal

With smartphones getting ever powerful, the size of their storage has also seen a significant growth. Higher storage is in demand because we have superior cameras on our phones with which we capture thousands of images and videos. The primary storage for these content has been our phone as it’s easier to carry it everywhere we go. With that, Vatsal Impex, the official distributor of Xiaomi phones in Nepal has launched the highest variant of Xiaomi MI 6 with 128GB UFS 2.1 storage for the price of Rs.58,000.

Xiaomi Mi 6 comes in a manageable form factor with a 5.15-inch display. It is a Full HD IPS panel with 428 pixels per inch. The phone is running on Android 7.1.1 Nougat with MIUI 8.2 on top. This phone will also be receiving the Oreo update in the future. Powering the device is the latest Snapdragon 835 Chipset coupled with 6GB of RAM. So, when it comes to performance, it is similar to its competitor OnePlus 5.

Coming down to the camera, the phone carries a Dual 12MP Camera setup where the secondary camera is a telephoto lens which provides 2x optical zoom. It works on the same principle as the iPhone 7 Plus. With optical zoom, you can zoom without losing any quality and details. This setup also provides shooting Portrait Photos with Bokeh effect. It can shoot 4K videos at 30fps and has Optical Image Stabilization(OIS). The phone is also somewhat Splash Resistant which enables you to use this phone in the rain. And up front, it has 8MP Selfie Camera, but, without a selfie flash as it has become a norm in smartphones.

For those who think 128GB storage of Xiaomi Mi 6 is overkill; the phone doesn’t come with expansion option. So when you have a Dual Camera setup that can shoot high-resolution images and 4K videos, you’ll soon be running out of storage. So this high-end version of Xiaomi MI 6 is basically for those who do a lot of shooting with this device or use it primarily as a multimedia tool. Also, the 128GB variant comes with ceramic body giving it a more premium appeal.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 also doesn’t carry a headphone jack. It uses its USB type C port for charging, data syncing and audio output. The phone is backed up by a 3350mAh battery and it comes with Quick Charge 3.0.

The phone which is available in two color options — gold and navy blue, has received good comments from reviewers abroad for the blue variant as it looks better with the all-black front plate. And, the gold version has matching accents for the earpiece and the fingerprint sensor at the front. Thus, the phone is a thorough eye-pleaser.

Nikon Launches most awaited D850 with 8K Time Lapse Recording

Nikon corporation finally released a new Professional DSLR — the Nikon D850. It is the successor of Nikon D810 and a straight competitor to the Canon 5D mark IV. The official announcement of camera development was made last month on Nikon’s 100 Anniversary with a special Time lapse footage on Nikon’s official YouTube channel.

The Camera is expected to go on sale from early September with a price of US$3299 for the body. The D850 comes with a 45.7MP BSI CMOS sensor with 7 fps / 9fps shooting without and with battery grip respectively. The Camera now can record 4k using full sensor width, unlike 5D IV which records 4k at crop sensor mode. It has 153-point AF system used by the D5 with the latest image-processing engine, EXPEED 5. Another feature that would tempt the Canon 5D IV users is that the ability to record 1080p at 120fps and has a 3.2″ tilting touchscreen with 2.36M-dot (1024×768 pixel) LCD. The Camera also comes with built in WIFI but with no GPS.

Personally, I use the Canon 5D Mark IV but looking at the specs at least on papers, the Nikon D850 really have caught my attention making me think about selling the Canon 5D IV. But I shall wait to see some in depth review about the camera’s actual performance and quality before making any quick decision.
