Deal Alert: Gionee A1 Receives Price Drop in Nepal

After two months from the release of Gionee A1 in Nepal, Teletalk Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of Gionee smartphones in Nepal, has slashed the phone’s price recently. After the price drop worth Rs. 3000, the latest price of Gionee A1 in Nepal is Rs. 30,000 only. It brings the Gionee A1 to a closer competition with the smartphones in the price range under 30,000.

If you have missed our Gionee A1 Review, you may watch it here:

Specs of Gionee A1 (Highlights)

  • 5.5-inch (1920× 1080 pixels) Full HD in-cell display with 2.5D curved glass
  • Gorilla Glass 3 on the front; Full Metal body on the back
  • 1.8 GHz Octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor with Mali T860 GPU
  • 4GB RAM, 64GB Internal memory, expandable memory up to 128GB with micro SD
  • Android 7.0 (Nougat) with Amigo OS 3.5
  • Dual Hybrid SIM (4G + 4G)
  • 13MP rear camera with LED flash, PDAF, f/2.0 aperture, 1/3.0+” sensor, 5P lens
  • 16MP front-facing camera, f/2.0 aperture, 1/3.06″ sensor, 5P lens, selfie flash
  • Fingerprint sensor (embedded on the home button)
  • 3.5mm audio jack, Waves MaxxAudio
  • Dimensions: 154.5 x 76.5 x 8.5mm; Weight: 182g
  • 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS
  • Gyro Sensor
  • 4010mAh battery with fast charging
  • Color Option: Black, Gold, and White

Verdict:

Price drops are always exciting but are unpredictable. So, you might be disappointed if you have bought the device a few days earlier. But if you were thinking to buy the device then you’re in luck since the device is now Rs. 3,000 cheaper. With this price drop, personally, I think the Gionee A1 has become a device with better value for money. But the device is still far from the best value for money with the mediocre chipset it uses inside.

Oppo Announced R11 and R11plus with Snapdragon 660

Oppo, the world’s fourth-largest smartphone manufacturer after Samsung, Apple, and Huawei, has announced it’s latest flagships: R11 and R11plus in China. These are the new successor to the Oppo R9s and Oppo R9s Plus. These new phones from Oppo have only been announced and there haven’t been words on phones’ pricing and availability. These two phones come with Dual Cameras on the back and newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 inside.

Oppo R11 and R11 Plus: Brief Overview

Oppo R11 and its bigger sibling come in a full metal unibody with Oppo’s “Arc Curve” design language. The Arc Curve is a name given by Oppo for a phone design with a back having curves on all its sides. New to the phone’s design are the two stripped antenna bands on the back of the phone placed on top and bottom edges. The design language, however, seems to be in a match with that of iphone 7 plus with those horizontally placed dual cameras and the antenna band above them. But it didn’t come as a surprise since it isn’t the first time that an Oppo phone looked like an iPhone.

When it comes to any newly released phone, other than design, what keeps us excited about is certainly what the phone packs inside. Addressing the offerings from Oppo R11 and R11plus, they have 5.5inch and 6inch AMOLED Full HD displays, 4GB and 6GB RAM, and  3000mAh and 4000mAh battery, respectively. Other than the chipsets, what else are common to these phones are, 64GB of onboard storage, the 16MP and 20MP(telephoto) lens on the back along with a 20MP unit on the front and a front mounted fingerprint sensor. Both the phones run on Android 7.1 Nougat with Color OS 3.1 layered on top. Furthermore, both these phones support Oppo’s proprietary VOOC fast charging technology.

Pricing and Availability

Oppo hasn’t released any information regarding the pricing and availability of these two newly announced flagships. However, the phone is likely to get released in its homeland within a month of time but if you’re wondering about the phones’ availability in Nepal. It’s mostly likely that the phone will never make up to the market of Nepal just like its predecessors.

MI Headphone Comfort launched in Nepal

Xiaomi is the Chinese brand, which is renowned for the manufacturing of smartphones. But these days, Xiaomi has been establishing itself more as an electronic company rather merely being confined on the manufacture of smartphones. On the journey, Xiaomi brought devices and accessories like MI TV, MI VR, Power banks, MI bands and MI Air Purifier, along with the usual production of smartphones. The bridging of these Chinese products to Nepal is done by Vatsal Impex, the authorized distributor of Xiaomi products in Nepal. Now adding to the list of available Xiaomi products, Vatsal Impex has recently brought Mi Headphone Comfort in Nepal.

MI Headphone Comfort is primarily a headphone but aimed with a simple design and light construction. Provided with a padded headband, the MI Headphone Comfort inherits ear cups with breathable pads to comfort the ears. The presence of ear cups helps to evade the ear stress on the prolonged use and provides a good seal for noise isolation. Xiaomi claims that the low 32-ohm impedance allows the MI Headphone Comfort to be used with most phones, laptops, etc. and the high-quality damping material on the MI Headphone Comfort are capable of absorbing the impact of internal acoustic waves on the diaphragm reducing sound distortion and improving clarity and sharpness.

For the proper use and control of the device, MI Headphone Comfort features a gesture control interface with all the control buttons centralized on the left ear cup. The interface allows the users to make actions like answer a call, pause or play, go to next track or go to the previous track.

The headphone comes with a weight of 220g and embraces an audio cable of 1.4 meters. In addition to being durable, the earphones are heat resistant, dirt resistant, and non-toxic. According to the company, the earmuffs on the MI Headphone Comfort are PU-coated, which are considered skin-friendly.

The device is priced Rs. 6,999 and can be purchased from MI showrooms located at Labim Mall and Pako New Road or from the official MI Nepal website and authorized retail stores all over Nepal.

The OPPO F3 has a good looking design with its unibody metal body and features a fast fingerprint scanner on the front that doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. The phone is currently running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with heavily skinned Color OS 3.0. You can find out our detailed review of Oppo F3 here.

Indiegogo Project: Introducing Touch – world’s smallest wireless earbud

At a time when smartphones are getting bigger, accessories like earbuds are getting smaller. While the reduction size means a constant fear of losing the buds at times, we can’t deny the functionality and portability these gadgets offer.

Before anything, I would like to talk about a tech company. Diifa-Tech is a Washington DC based company which has made its name for making ‘World’s smallest earbud’ – Dot headset. This gadget first surfaced on Indiegogo and raised over $715,000. It was then delivered to the backers. And now, after a couple of years, the company is back at it again as it has confirmed that another Bluetooth headset will go online on Indiegogo, just like the Dot.

Touch earbud is a wireless Bluetooth enabled headset which, according to Crowdcreate, was designed from ‘over 2 years of user feedback and community input’. The Touch comes without any physical button and has a touch sensitive surface which works via single touch mechanism.touch earbud

The company behind Touch has kept fans under some suspension as it hasn’t given much information regarding its product. However, we do know that it has been updated with Bluetooth 4.2 and features a redesigned radio frequency module. The Touch will come in Apple’s Airpod’s like charging case.

Like Dot headset, Diifa-Tech has dubbed the Touch to be world’s smallest earbud. It is set to debut on Indiegogo on the 13th of June, next week. So, if you wish to back the project, log into touchbuds.com on the 13th this month. Also, tune into Gadgetbyte Nepal as we will be updating you about the Touch in the near future.

Leagoo T1 Review: Stylish Midranger

There has been a recent boom in the launch of smartphones from Chinese Manufacturers. One of the latest competitors in the Nepalese phone market is Leagoo.  Lately, I have been using Leagoo T1 for Rs. 16,500 phone as my daily driver. Let’s find out how this phone has treated me so far, in this review.

Design

leagoo t1 design

Leagoo T1 is stylish looking phone with good built quality. The phone comes with an aluminum back with the aluminum volume rocker and lock button. On the metallic back, you get the fingerprint, camera and the LED flash. There are two plastic bands on the top and the bottom.

The front is covered with 2.5D curvy tempered glass that is smooth and feels nice to touch. Leagoo T1 has a typical smartphone design with an on-screen navigation bar and comes with LED notification light at the top. I found the fit and finish of the product quite premium and felt it was the highlight of the phone.

Display

Leagoo t1 display

The Leagoo T1 comes with 5 inch HP IPS display with decent colors and saturations. You will hardly notice the low-resolution display it offers. However, you will miss the sharps blacks and the saturation level, if you have been using an AMOLED display. It does have LiveDisplay that automatically adjust the color temperature of the screen during day and night time. The display of the phone is also equipped with Smart wake feature that lets you wake up the phone by double tapping the screen. You can also make various gestures on the screen to open apps like contacts, camera, and file manager.

Performance

Leagoo t1 performance

The Leagoo T1 comes with a puny Quad Core MediaTek Processor MT6735 clocked at 1.3 GHz. The processor backed by 2GB of RAM and Mali T720 GPU, is no performer but surprisingly it gets the job done. App switching was average but the problem I had, was with the multitasking button. On this phone long pressing the home button led to the app switching windows which was painstakingly slow for me.

Software

Leagoo t1 software

This device runs on the year old Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Leagoo T1 OS on top. The UI is light and simple but I really didn’t like the icons it gave to the preinstalled Google apps like Chrome and Gmail. On the bright side, the OS does extend its support for third party launchers like Google now launcher. Surprisingly there are no such bloat wares installed, out of the box. The Leagoo T1 comes with many inbuilt features like Smart Motion, Smart Gesture, and Multi-windowing options.

Connectivity

Leagoo t1 connect

The device has a dual hybrid SIM slot with support for 4G LTE. Due to the hybrid setup, you can insert either a microSD card or a second micro SIM. As I have said earlier the phone does come with a fingerprint scanner at the back which unlocks the device with precision. Having said that, the scanner does take time when the device is completely locked.

Camera

Leagoo T1 sports a 13MP camera with f2.0 aperture. It takes decent pictures in well-lit condition but fails miserably low light condition. It also has a slight camera hump at the back which is annoying. The 8MP at the front takes average selfies even in well-lit condition. Sadly both back and front flash are below par in low light situations.

Battery

The device houses a moderate 2400mAh battery in this sleek phone. Although this might seem small the device does amaze you with 6 hours of screen on time for my moderate usage. This is all thanks to its low power quad core processor. But if you go berserk by putting the phone to the 4G network and play games like real racing 3, it will give you a screen on time of 4 hours. The company claims it has fast charging but when I first received the phone it was at 1%. It took me more than 2 hours to charge the phone to 100%. So I don’t think it’s fast charging is of any use.

Leagoo t1 battery

Verdict

The Leagoo T1 comes will many gestures and motion control features and has great design and premium feel with battery life that can last all day. So if you’re looking for a premium built phone with decent battery life and smart gestures, this might be the phone for you. But if you’re looking for a good camera phone with multitasking capabilities, this might not be the phone for you.

Other than buying ZTE smartphones and accessories from the website, you may also book the ZTE smartphones that are about to get launched in Nepal. ZTE’s official online store does the free delivery of the packages in 12 major cities including Birtamod, Damak, Itahari, Dharan, Biratnagar, Janakpur, Birgunj, Naryanghard, Hetauda, Butwal, Pokhara, and Nepalgunj.

Plus, you can also place a booking of ZTE Blade A610 Plus that has been scheduled for the launch very soon. However, the store will shortly be adding ZTE phone accessories like tempered glasses and back covers.

How to buy ZTE Smartphones Online in Nepal

Buying a ZTE smartphone has become much easier. The official ZTE store is just like any other e-commerce website where you can do your shopping with a click of a button. Just add the devices you want to buy to the cart. After you’re done shopping, click on view my cart and then you’ll see the billing amount details. To successfully place the order you’ve to enter few of your personal details including the place for delivery. The website doesn’t accept any kinds of online payment and all payments are to be done as “Cash on Delivery”.

Promotional Offers and Coupon Codes

As a promotional Offer, the website is giving 3% discounts on all available smartphones and the delivery is FREE in mentioned 12 cities. The website does accept coupon codes in the checkouts but currently, no coupon codes are revealed.

Verdict

It’s good to see smartphones being sold online officially in Nepal. But I expected the pricing of official phones online to be much cheaper and just 3% of discounts can’t be considered “a catch”.
