Sroth Code, the same name, which had dropped their game Haku Run on the play store a few months back are back with another game called Tap Tap Turn. Allied with the promotion of Loot 2 movie, Haku Run was a hit with above tens of thousands of downloads. With the avatars of Nepali movie artists and familiar periphery within the game environment, the game was fairly exciting. But will this newbie able to follow the footsteps of Haku Run? Can it be an optimum boredom killer in a smartphone? Let’s dig into it.
How to play Tap Tap turn?
Tap Tap Turn game basically involves a rectangular box with four colors on its four sides. The primary task of the game is to pass the box through the colorful obstacles without letting the ball touch foot or ground. Death is inevitable in the game if the color of the front edge of the box mismatches with the color of the obstacle. For the gameplay, users are provided with two kinds of control, tapping on the left rotates the box in a clockwise direction allowing a switch in color and tapping on the right lets the ball leap evading the fall momentarily.
The game is currently available on Play Store and even available to play online. According to Sroth Code, launch on App Store is on due and will soon be released.

Verdict
The game is designed with three intentions – to test user’s right hand – left-hand coordination, mind-body coordination and the reflex of the users’. But to be true, the game does not bear a unique concept. The game seems inspired by the popular Color Switch game. However, the game is addictive. Since the install of the game on my phone, on every free time I get, I always opt to surpass my personal best. Though being a simple game, it is hard to get a good score. Frustrated from the frequent deaths, one always ends in scratching the forehead or pulling the hair in agony (well, that was in my case).
The game is free, so the users do not have to spend a dime to download and install the game. But at each death, ad pops up, which seems pretty annoying.
I wish the game had different modes to play on to adapt with the mood of the different users and their mood swings.

Google Pixel is the first phone branded under Google’s name. Beforehand, Nexus devices used to provide the purest Android experience to its users. Google Pixel was a huge success despite having many drawbacks, starting off with its weird back panel with half glass and metal, no waterproofing and thick bezels up top and bottom. But it provided the best Android experience anyone could ask for, a great camera, swift performance, and regular security and version upgrades. The Pixel is already a year old and now it’s time for the Pixel 2.
We’ve been seeing renders and specification leaks about the Pixel 2 for a couple of weeks and recently a leaker from a reliable source of Android Police who claims to have used the new phone revealed the final specifications. Google was planning for three Pixel phones, one small, one medium sized and a larger one. The source claims that they revoked the middle one and only small (5-inch) and the bigger(6-inch) are in the making. So the Pixel and the Pixel XL for this year are codenamed walleye and teimen respectively.
The walleye will feature a 4.97 Full HD display. There will be no headphone jack and in its place, it’ll incorporate stereo speakers. There isn’t much significant change in the aesthetics. The side bezels are a lot smaller but the top and bottom bezels remain almost similar. The phone will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset coupled with 4GB of RAM and will come in 64 GB variant.
The taimen will sport a 6-inch 2.5K OLED display. The aesthetics of the phone will be similar to the Pixel XL but the glass panel on the back will not coat the fingerprint sensor. Also, the bezels for the larger one will be similar to that of the walleye. It will also be powered by the latest Snapdragon 835 chipset with 4GB of RAM and will have 128GB storage.
Both the phone will carry only a single camera despite the trend of the dual camera in smartphones. Although much details about the camera haven’t been revealed yet, we can expect it to surface in the coming weeks. Also, the bezel-less renders we’ve been seeing might not be what the new Pixels will look like.
Pixel 2 is expected to launch in October with almost a similar price tag as the recent Pixel phones.
If a report from a VentureBeat is considered, Samsung’s next flagship – the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 could set you back €999. If this rumor is true, the Galaxy Note 8 will be the most expensive handset from the Korean giants.
VentureBeat reports that Samsung is set to price the Galaxy Note 8 at €999 which, in accordance with today’s exchange rates, roughly translates to $1118 and £874.
So, what does this expensive piece of hardware constitute? Well, speculations suggest that the device will come with a 6.3-inch Quad HD InfinityEdge display, like the one Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus sport. We expect the device to come up with just a few amplified software and hardware features rather than some major changes.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will, of course, come with the beloved S Pen stylus. It will be equipped with dual camera sensors on the back. We recently saw the OnePlus 5 feature this kind of setup.
The device will be the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which went down in flames last year – literally. So, this time around it will come with a small battery with the capacity of 3,300 mAh.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 went down in flames last year – literally.
Rumors suggest that Samsung will stick with the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 and Exynos 8895 processors for the Samsung Galaxy S8. One of the major features that might distinguish the Galaxy Note 8 from the Galaxy S8 is the addition of 2 GB RAM into the existing 4 GB RAM. But this could just be another rumor.
Even though VentureBeat has claimed the Galaxy Note 8 could carry a price tag of €999, famous leaker Evan Blass has said that the device will be priced at $925 in the USA. Nonetheless, we can expect it to come with a hefty price tag.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be announced in August this year.
Here’s everything you need to know about the rumored specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8:
It’s already been 2 years since the launch of the Yota Phone 2. After such interlude, we expected few innovative changes with the new iteration of the phone. But based on a recent event by Yota, it suggests not much has been changed about the phone despite the usual spec upgrade. For those unaware, Yotaphone is a Russian manufactured phone that comes with a secondary Always On E-ink display on the back and the usual primary display on the front.
The first Yotaphone was launched back in 2012 where the secondary display didn’t make much impact on the market. But now, at the time where people are thriving for innovation on their smartphone, this could be the perfect time for the launch of a new Yotaphone. The secondary energy efficient E-ink display is basically meant for notification and ebook reading but you can use it as a normal display for navigating and the opening of apps. As an e-ink display, it’s going to be incredibly slow if you intend to do anything except read e-books or check time and weather, as they have a very low refresh rate.
Talking about the hardware composition, Yotaphone 3 will come with a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display and a smaller 5.2-inch E-ink display on the back. It will be powered by Snapdragon 625 chipset and will sport 4GB of RAM. It will opt USB C port for charging and data syncing. Optics wise, Yotaphone 3 will have a 12MP rear camera and 13MP front facing camera. It will be backed up by a decent 3200mAh battery.
The base model with 64GB internal storage will be priced at $350 and a 128GB model at $450. Yotaphone 3 will start selling from September inside China and we cannot expect the international launch of the phone outside China.
With much anticipation, the new flagship from Huawei, the Huawei P10 Plus has finally been launched in Nepal. Huawei Nepal skipped the smaller version of the phone, the Huawei P10 as most people prefer bigger phones in their hand, also the larger variant has more features compared to the small one. Huawei P10 Plus comes in White, Black and Gold color with the price tag of Rs.79,000. We got a chance to play around with the phone for a while and here is our initial hands-on of the phone.
Design
Starting off with aesthetics, Huawei doesn’t seem to be innovative in this aspect. As most of the flagships have opted for a completely bezel-less design, here the P10 Plus houses the same industrial design inspired by the older Huawei P9, but only much sleeker and compact.
1 of 2
The phone comes with an unibody metal construct with a smooth or rugged finish on the back which goes seamless straight up to its curved sides. The phone is good on the hands and due to the smaller side bezels, it is somewhat usable with one hand.
Display
1 of 2
With the plus tag, the Huawei P10 Plus comes with 5.5inch Quad HD display protected with the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The display in this environment seems really bright and vibrant. The fingerprint sensor has now shifted towards the front. The sensor is pretty swift for unlocking the device and can also take gestures as input replacing the navigation bar.
Software
Giving life to this device is the Huawei’s EMUI 5.1 on top of Android 7.0 Nougat. You get all the Huawei goodies like the knuckle gestures and customizations with themes and so on. You can now choose to have an app drawer or just leave all the apps on the home like usual. One notable feature of the new EMUI 5.1 was the side drawer when you swipe from the left (like Google Now). Here you can put your most used apps and widgets which seemed handy.
Hardware
In terms of storage, the Huawei P10 Plus has the smaller 4GB of RAM along with 64GB of internal storage as the higher variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage has been skipped. There is also an option for storage expandability via MicroSD card using the second SIM slot. Powering the device is the Huawei’s own in-house octa-core Kirin 960 chipset clocked at 2.4Ghz which provides performance equivalent to Snapdragon 820, so the performance of this device should be pretty impressive but not as good as the Galaxy S8 or the OnePlus 5.
Camera
A dual camera has been a requisite feature in a smartphone. Huawei P10 Plus also comes with dual camera setup where the primary camera carries 12MP sensor and the secondary monochrome sensor carries a larger 20MP sensor for more depth and details. Dual camera is for the 2X optical zoom so you get better quality images even while zooming. It also assists in shooting with portrait mode. It is capable of shooting 4K at 30fps with optical image stabilization. For selfies, the phone carries an 8MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture. The event featured photos taken from Huawei P10 Plus by famous photographers Kishor Kayastha and Anjil Maskey which seemed pretty good. Due to a lot of artificial lighting, we could not tell how the camera actually is, so you have to stay tuned for the full review. Huawei P10 also comes with IR blaster which makes it easier for multimedia control.
Battery
Backing up this compact device is a modest 3750 mAh battery which Huawei claims to last for two days. In terms of battery life, we can’t say anything until we put it to the test. The Huawei P10 Plus also comes with Huawei’s supercharge charger which shouldn’t take more than 1 and a half hour to fully charge this battery.
Offers with Huawei P10 Plus:
Along with the hefty price tag, Huawei is providing good customer service with the device. Huawei P10 Plus will get 2 hours VIP Diamond Service from Huawei Service Center, which means, if your new Huawei P10 Plus isn’t repaired within 2 hours, you’ll get a new device! You also get accidental screen breakage insurance for 3 months. And you can get your Huawei P10 Plus delivered at your doorsteps. As a camera focused phone, Huawei Nepal will be giving P10 Plus Camera Kit Lens with every purchase of the phone. Huawei P10 Plus with ties with Ncell will provide 1GB of Free Mobile Data for 10 months straight.
Initial Verdict:
So far we’re impressed with what we see, the built quality, design and all the other aspects seem pleasing but with competition getting fierce and with giants like Samsung with their S8’s in the market and One Plus 5 launching soon in Nepal, does the Huawei P10 really has any chance with its competition? That’s the question we will answer in our full review!

While choosing a smartphone, we usually emphasize on the screen size and its resolution, the megapixels and the sensor of the camera, and the processor inside the phone. However, most of the time, we ignore music output through its speaker and headphone jack. This could be a most important factor for the music lovers and audiophiles. We have listed Top Smartphones for Music Lovers and buyers that are trying to buy a smartphone that has a good Sound for listening to Music.
Before we move on to Top Smartphones in Nepal for Music Lovers, we’d like to make a disclaimer that a true audiophile might not be impressed with this list since the best smartphones for audiophiles are actually LG V20, HTC 10, LG V10 and ZTE Axon 7. But LG V10 isn’t the one we’ll recommend since many units worldwide are having boot-loop issues. Unfortunately, none of these smartphones are officially available in Nepal. That’s why we couldn’t mention those phones in this list. Hence, the list below only includes smartphones that are officially available in Nepal.
Top Smartphones For Music Lovers in Nepal
Xperia Z5 Premium
Xperia Z series had always had one of the best camera and the speaker integration. And every year this integration keeps getting better and better. And, with the Xperia Z5 Premium with stereo front facing speakers, the sound is really amazing in this phone with the perfect punch of audio. It comes with DSEE HX technology that upscales low-resolution audio files to mid/high-resolution quality. With the inbuilt ClearAudio+ audio settings, there’s a wonderful warm bassline, and a precise, detailed audio character. Z5 shows its rhythmic powers with superb dynamics that rise and fall with the song’s peaks. Xperia Z5 Premium version is priced at Rs.78,000 in Nepal.
iPhone 7Plus
iPhone 7Plus, the first iPhone with stereo speakers, has comparatively one of the best audio quality despite not supporting high-resolution audio files. The sound is pretty loud and gives you crisp and detailed audio with good bass punch and treble. Where it really marks its mark is when you listen to audio via earpods. Apple earpods have become really good and innovative and with the new earbuds and apples audio engine, the audio experience it provides is superiorly greater than any other phones. Check out the prices of the latest iPhones here in this link.
Samsung Galaxy S8
Actually, after Samsung started using water resistance on the phone, the realizable impact has been on the phone’s audio. The loudspeakers have become softer after water shielding on them. Samsung Galaxy S8 may not have the loudest speakers but the sound it produces are crisp and clear, one can really get a great audio experience in a peaceful place. But when you connect your headphones or your earphones, this is where the phone shows it’s magic. The audio quality via headsets or earphones is a class apart since it supports 16-bit, 24-bit and even 32-bit FLAC audio out. You’ll probably get the best audio experience with a great bass punch or treble. If you’re a music fanatic and know how to play with the equalizers, this phone’s SoundAlive won’t disappoint you.
And, the pair of AKG tuned headphones that come with the phone are truly the best earphones you can find inside a box of any phone.
OnePlus 3T
When it comes to OnePlus 3T, its audio performance is actually underlooked by many. But in reality, the phone is the best phone for audio admirer who finds Xperia Z and iPhone 7Plus to be beyond their budget. Yes, the audio isn’t as good as the phones mentioned above but the 3T is by far the best sounding phone within its price range. Plus, it’s true audio capability can be experienced after plugging a headphone.
Sony Xperia X
If you’re an audiophile and find the phones we mentioned above to be beyond your budget then Sony Xperia X is the one you should be keeping an eye on. After the latest price cut, the phone that was initially launched at 50,500 is now available at Rs. 38,500 in Nepal. The phone is the best pick for those after well-balanced quality audio from a smartphone that won’t get you bankrupt. Sony Xperia X’s front facing stereo speakers aren’t as loud as that of the Z5 but does produce the audio as good as from any premium smartphones.
Bonus Picks
As bonus picks, we are mentioning few smartphones truly designed for better audio experience. Though these smartphones didn’t officially make to the market of Nepal. They are found to be widely available in gray markets. So, how could we not mention them, right?
HTC One M9
We don’t have to talk much about the M9s speakers. These boom sound stereo speakers are the best compared to any smartphones out there. The positioning of the speaker is everything while you may have noticed some smartphones audio is completely blocked if your hand wraps, but the dual front facing speaker is a different story. These speakers are like having your own mini Boombox in your pocket. Sounds are pretty precise and immersive. You can have a class audio experience while watching movies or listening to your favorite tracks, these speakers will always keep you moving. HTC one M9 is priced at Rs. 57,000 in Nepal.
Moto X Pure Edition
Like the HTC M9, Moto X Pure Edition comes equipped with front-facing dual stereo speakers which produce pretty great sound. Well, it’s not that great compared to the HTC’s boom sound but it’s far better than other high-end phones. Speakers are pretty loud and you’ll hear every sound crisp and clear. Like the M9, you’ll have a great experience in watching movies as well.
Nepa Hima Trade Link, the authorized distributor of Sony devices in Nepal has slashed the price of Sony Xperia XA Ultra smartphone. The smartphone was launched a year back and now to compete with other existing mid-rangers the phone is trying to attract the consumers with its new price (Rs.34,500 Rs.31,500)
Sony Xperia XA Ultra is a midrange phone from Sony providing flagship grade build quality and design. For the price, it doesn’t offer any significantly better specs than the competition. The phone comes with a 6-inch Full HD edge to edge display. The phone also comes with an unknown protective layer on top. It is powered by MediaTek’s Helio P10 octa-core chipset clocked at 2.0GHz coupled with 3GB of RAM. Xperia XA was running on Android 6.0.1 marshmallow but recently the Nougat update has been rolled out for the device which makes this device preferable even after a year of its launch. Optics-wise, the phone comes with 21.5MP Rear Camera with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF and 16MP secondary camera. So for photo enthusiasts, this phone can be a fine pick. Backing up the device is a minute 2700mAh battery.
Specs Overview of Sony Xperia XA Ultra:
• 6-inch (1920 x 1280 pixels) IPS LCD Display
• Octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor
• Mali T860MP2 GPU
• 3GB RAM
• 16GB internal storage, expandable memory up to 256GB
• Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

• 16MP Secondary shooter with LED flash
• 2700 mAh battery
Huawei P10 Plus, the flagship smartphone from Huawei launched back in MWC 2017 is on its way to make an entrance in Nepal. Though Huawei had already accelerated the advertisements since long, the launch date has been revealed only today. And, the most awaited flagship from Huawei is launching on June 23, 2017. The phone is likely to have a company of Huawei GR5 2017 Premium Edition at its launch event. So, this Friday, Huawei will launch two phones in Nepal.
P10 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch display with the protection ensured by Gorilla Glass 5. The phone is powered by Huawei’s own HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor. On the software side, Huawei P10 Plus comes with Android Nougat out of the box with EMUI 5.1 on the top.
Huawei Mobiles Nepal teases the P10 Plus Launch in Nepal with a Banner in the streets of Kathmandu Valley.
Memory wise, the phone comes with two variants; one with 64GB of internal memory and 4GB of RAM and other with 128GB of internal storage capacity and 6GB of RAM. On the optics section, the phone has embraced a dual-camera setup on the back. The dual-camera setup includes a 20MP (monochrome) and 12MP (RGB) sensors lying on a horizontal configuration. This assembly has enabled the device to take astounding pictures even on low lights and with 2X optical zoom. The rear camera setup is also assisted by OIS (optical image stabilization), phase detection autofocus and Dual-LED (Dual-tone) flash. The rear camera is capable of shooting 4k videos at the frame rate of 30fps and Full-HD videos at 60 fps. The front-facing selfie camera has an 8MP sensor with an aperture of f/1.9.
The device is juiced up by a whopping 3750 mAh battery and in order to avoid the lingering of the phone with the wall charger, the charging mechanism uses SuperCharge fast-charging. Huawei P10 Plus, however, lacks the wireless charging.

Three years ago, OnePlus surfaced into the world of a smartphone with its first flagship – the OnePlus One. It was one of the most polarizing devices ever which started to gain popularity even with the annoying ‘invite system’. The performance and features the One delivered at half the price of other flagship phones truly confirmed its tag as a ‘flagship killer’. Three years and 4 devices later, the Chinese company has come up with a camera-centric smartphone which does not compromise on performance by any means.
[Update: One Plus 5 is now available in Nepal. It is priced at Rs. 59,500 and is available from retail shops and e-commerce stores (Oliz store & Kaymu).]
The OnePlus 5 features some similar looking designs both at the front and back. While OnePlus didn’t opt for features like water resistance and edgeless display, it did go for the flagship processor of 2017 and an increased amount of RAM.
Talking about the new product, OnePlus’ head of North American communications, Eric Zarshenas, said, “We’re pretty conservative. We’re trying to do only stuff that we think benefits the user. We believe in the mission of making the best overall offering. It’s not about being the first. It’s not being different. And that doesn’t necessarily get us a ton of press.”
Design and Display
The OnePlus 5, like I mentioned before comes with a pretty familiar design. At the front, the device looks like its predecessors, the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T with the difference being a little bit of curve on its four sides.
The design at the back has been a subject of much discussion as it shares its looks with the iPhone 7 Plus and the Oppo R11. There are dual cameras at the top left which is accompanied with dual LED flash.
The metallic back of the OnePlus 5 is made from anodized aluminum. This time around, the antenna bands have similar placement like that on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
Unlike what almost all of the leaks suggested, the OnePlus 5 comes with a full HD display resolution. At the time when most companies are going with quad HD displays, OnePlus has stuck with the 1080p panel. Maybe this helps in cutting the cost of the device. Plus, unless a user is using a VR, he/she probably won’t notice any noticeable difference. The display has a length of 5.5-inch and is an Optic AMOLED panel. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 which ends in a 2.5D curve.
2017 has been the year of edgeless and InfinityEdge displays. But the OnePlus 5 has a more traditional look with 16:9 aspect ratio.
Camera
Undoubtedly, OnePlus is cashing in on the OnePlus 5’s dual rear-facing cameras for its sales. In the launch event/video, the presenters took some time to explain its cameras in detail. The device is equipped with 16-megapixel and 20-megapixel primary cameras with the former featuring a large f/1.7 aperture and the latter featuring f/2.6 aperture.
The camera on the OnePlus 5 has features such as Portrait mode, Optical Zoom, and Histogram. Just like the OnePlus 3 and 3T, it has a built-in manual mode to modify the camera setting according to user’s preference.
While the camera looks to be absolutely great on paper, we could yet be seeing another ‘more megapixel doesn’t necessarily mean better picture’ case here. The Verge and Mr. Mobile, popular review channels on YouTube, have already slagged off the quality of the camera with The Verge even going a step forward and calling the camera ‘mediocre’.
Processor and Hardware
OnePlus had already announced that its newest flagship would be powered by an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor with 2.45 GHz clock speed. This wasn’t much of a surprise as OnePlus devices always boast flagship processors. Like the OnePlus 3 and 3T, the OnePlus 5 is aided by 6 GB of RAM. The company is also offering an 8 GB RAM variant which is available in the 128 GB model. For the smartphone, the Chinese manufacturer is using LPDDR4X RAM. The OnePlus 5 has Adreno 540 GPU under the hood. There is, however, no slot for expanding the internal memory.
There is a front-mounted fingerprint sensor on the OnePlus 5 which has the capability to unlock the device in just 0.2 seconds. And yes, it does house a headphone jack.
Software
The OnePlus 5 runs on Android v7.1.1, again, just like the OnePlus 3 and 3T. It has OxygenOS on top which is like a stock version of Android on steroids. Users can expect a lot of customizations which can help in some useful system level changes.
The OnePlus 5 now comes with better calibration and a reading mode which can turn the screen calibration into a monochrome mode when certain apps are selected.
Battery
The OnePlus 5 houses a 3,300 mAh battery which is supported by OnePlus’ very own dash charging technology. We expect the device to last for 4 – 5 hours of screen-on-time under heavy usage. But Dash Charging’s fast charging will surely charge up the device in under no time.
The 3,300 mAh battery is surely a bummer for heavy users like me. I am currently using the OnePlus 3 as my primary device and even with around 5 hours of screen-on-time, I sometimes have to charge my smartphone twice a day.
Price
Carl Pei said at the launch event that all tech websites got the pricing wrong as the OnePlus 5’s baseline model is priced at $479 (6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage). The higher end model, which has a whopping 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal memory will set you back $539.
While the pricing might come as a disappointment to the OnePlus fans, this price tag was expected as the device comes with dual cameras and also because OnePlus has lately started to give attention to advertisements.
OnePlus will go on sale from the 27th of June, 2017 in the international market.
We are yet to receive a word regarding its launch in Nepal. But, according to some close source, the OnePlus 5 is all set to launch in July with an expected price to be around Rs.59,999. The phone will be available from oliz store and kaymu.
