Micromax Canvas 2 (2017): Midranger with Android Nougat Launched in Nepal

Micromax Canvas series has made its name in Nepal due to its relatively lower pricing and some decent specifications. The company has remained silent in the past couple of months, though, with other smartphone brands already taking over its share. But the company has made a comeback to the Nepali smartphone market with its newest addition to the Canvas lineup – the Micromax Canvas 2 (2017).

The Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) is priced at Rs. 15,300 — much cheaper compared to its converted Indian pricing (INR.11,999). So, what do you get for all that money? Well, the Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) runs on the newest full Android version Google offers – Android v7.0 Nougat right out of the box. It has 3 GB of RAM assisting the Quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor that has 1.3 GHz of clock speed.

As far as the display is considered, the Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) showcases a 5.0-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels at the front. The display is cloaked by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for that extra protection against drops. This glass edges out in a 2.5D arc. However, it has a plastic back for the fact that it is a smartphone from 2017. Also, the Canvas 2 has a separate home button which acts as a fingerprint sensor, and an on-screen navigation bar on the display. There are probably only a couple of smartphones with such a poor use of space.

In the optics department, the Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) has a 13-megapixel primary camera which supports features like Bokeh, Panorama, and HDR.

It can be expanded up to 64 GB via the microSD card slot available on the device.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Review: Value Driven

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Review: Value Driven

There was a time when Chinese smartphones had to suffer allegations of being non-durable. However, Xiaomi has been one of the few Chinese smartphones which have assured the general public that even Chinese smartphones are packed with superseding specs and yet inside a durable skeleton.

Redmi Note 4 has been one of the products of that very brand, which helped Xiaomi to add fandom and has been one of the best-sold smartphones this year. Though the Redmi Note 4 was launched in Nepal long ago, the processor variant or the one with Snapdragon chipset is still a neonate in Nepali smartphone market.

Today we have Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 on our review desk, which is bundled with Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. The device costs Rs. 28,500 in Nepali market. Let’s dissect its features to find if the phone is really worth the price.

Design

Redmi Note 4 embraces a sleek body in a metallic outfit tapered at the edges. The metallic back on the device is escorted by plastic caps on the top and the bottom. I would have to say it a downgrade from the MediaTek variant, which is available in full metal unibody. The glossy metallic touch on hand gives a premium feel to the users. However, for its streamlined body, there is always a risk of slipping through the hands.

The device also inherits backlit capacitive touch buttons on the chin, which is customizable.

Display

On display, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 offers 5.5-inch IPS LCD panel with the touch of 2.5D glass on the top. The presence of 2.5D Glass has added elegance to the display and gives a lingering addiction to the users.

The display, however, lacks screen protection. Even on my careful use, the phone suffered few scratches. Though the display has a good viewing angle, the presence of Full-HD resolution is nothing extravagant for the price.

Hardware

Moving on, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 includes a power button and volume rockers on the right edge, which is completely accessible to the thumb. The SIM card slot lies on the left, whereas the IR blaster and headphone jack on the top.

On the back, camera and fingerprint sensor are accommodated within the metallic portion oriented vertically. On the bottom edge, the phone has two speaker grills defined in symmetry. One of them functions as an actual speaker, and other as a mic and between them resides a slot for micro USB 2.0 charger. The sound output from the speaker grill is decent, but while using the phone in landscape mode (that often happens while gaming and watching videos), the grills get concealed, and the sound gets obstructed.

The hardware also includes a tiny LED on the top to remind about the notifications. The blinking color of the LED is customizable rendering the type of notification.

Software

On the software, the device is favored by Android Marshmallow and flavored by MIUI 8.2 on the top. The UI offers a galore of useful features with most of them customizable to user preferences. Second space feature and App cloning through Dual Apps are not ordinarily found on custom UI. However, the UI does bring some unnecessary bloatware.

Performance

The device is powered by Snapdragon 625 chipset, which is an Octa-core processor running at the clock speed of 2 GHz. The graphics portion is taken care by the Adreno 506 GPU aided by 4GB of RAM. The GPU and RAM assembly has done a great job on the device. Even running multiple high-end games, I found no glitches on my play, and the performance was lag free. The device though got warmed up on the rigorous gaming. The heat so produced is, however, less as compared to the MediaTek variant on using same apps for the same time.

Battery

Xiaomi is renowned for its battery backup, and Redmi Note 4 has not been an exception. The phone comes with 4100 mAh non-removable battery. It provides backup for a day and a half on the normal use. On the heavy use, the screen on time fluctuates around 6-7 hours. The lack of Quick charging provision can be felt while juicing this humongous battery since the phone indulges itself with the wall-charger for a long time. The phone took nearly 3 hours of time to gain the full charge.

Camera

Talking about the camera, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 has a 13MP sensor on the back. The rear camera which takes decent shots on the well-lit environment with HDR on. On my use, some photos seemed pretty washed out without the HDR on.

On low lights, the photos were grainy and noisy. Through the “Manual” mode on the camera app, the user can adjust the ISO value to 3200, but the photo quality does not receive much of improvements. The 5MP front snapper takes good selfies but suffers the same plight as the rear one under low-lit condition.

Connectivity

For the cellular connectivity, a SIM card slot lies on the left edge of the phone. The SIM card slot holds a tray to accommodate two SIM cards or one SIM card with a memory card. So one should sacrifice the thoughts of employing two SIM cards with memory toppings by SD card in addition. Other connectivity option includes 4G compatibility, A-GPS, Bluetooth, Radio, OTG, and Wi-Fi (a/b/g/n). The dual-band Wi-Fi ac is missing on the device.

Conclusion

To conclude, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is a great built device with excellent battery backup. The fingerprint sensor on the device is snappy with almost instantaneous unlocks. Except for the fact of the heating issue on long use, the performance of the device is flawless. One could make a great use of it on gaming and multitasking.

The camera, however, is a bit of under-performer for the price. So if the camera is not your primary priority on a smartphone, then Redmi Note 4 could be the exclusive phone for you for Rs. 28,500. But if you do not want to make a compromise on battery backup, camera, and performance altogether while buying a smartphone then Coolpad Cool1 or Gionee A1 could be the perfect match for you.

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.
