Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) has rolled out a new pet microchipping initiative where pet sellers now need to microchip dogs and cats before selling them. This information was published on their Facebook page, along with instructions for pet owners to register their microchipped pets at their local ward office.
The idea is to implant a microchip in the animal’s neck that stores important information such as the owner’s name, the pet’s age, and its health history. Later, this data can be scanned using an electronic reader, helping various authorities to maintain better records of domestic animals within the city.
According to Nuranidhi Neupane, head of KMC’s Agriculture and Livestock Department, the regulation is part of a broader effort to simplify pet registration and improve animal monitoring.
Implementation in progress, but still in early stages
After asking the KMC office for more details, I found that the program also aims to take care of and manage street and local dogs more effectively. Once the system is in place completely, pet owners will need to have their pets microchipped at a veterinary clinic and provide certain documents to their respective ward office for registration.
Officials, however, clarified that the system is still in its early stages. They are encouraging the public to get used to the system, but at a gradual pace. They have already begun data collection exercises, and in the future, all pet-related records will be stored in a central database. A new web portal will also be launched to provide notifications regarding any pets. Including updates on registration and other relevant information.
Mr. Neupane emphasized that this regulation is part of KMC’s broader goal of promoting responsible pet ownership. With installation of microchips and giving a permanent ID for each animal, the hope is that it reduces pet abandonment rates and easy traceability of pets.

This article will discuss everything about the latest Panasonic Lumix GH5S, including its expected price in Nepal.
Panasonic Lumix GH5S Overview
Key Features
The Lumix GH5S uses a 10.28MP Micro Four Thirds sensor. It is optimized for video with dual native ISO for better low-light performance. However, the camera does not feature built-in image stabilization.
Additionally, it supports DCI 4K and UHD 4K video recording at up to 60fps. The GH5S offers internal 10-bit 4:2:2 recording, and you can output 12-bit video externally through HDMI. The camera includes dual SD card slots and supports UHS-II cards for high-speed recording.

Apple announced the iPhone 16e a while ago. The new model succeeds the iPhone SE introduced in 2022 and brings several new upgrades, and it’s now available for purchase in Nepal as well. This article will cover everything about the latest iPhone 16e, including its availability and official price in Nepal.
iPhone 16e Overview
Display and Design
The iPhone 16e features a sleek design similar to the iPhone 14, with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that offers a resolution of 2532×1170 pixels at 460ppi. The screen can reach a peak brightness of 1200 nits, ensuring visibility in bright environments.
The device also introduces a notch for Face ID, replacing the older Touch ID, aligning with the design language of other recent iPhone models. Compared to the iPhone 16, the 16e is slightly smaller, being 0.1mm narrower and 0.7mm shorter.
Performance
Internally, the iPhone 16e is powered by the A18 chip, built using 2nd-gen 3nm technology, which is also present in the iPhone 16. This chip, along with 8GB of RAM, ensures that the device can handle Apple’s AI features like Apple Intelligence for tasks such as notification summaries.
The iPhone 16e comes with 128GB of storage as its base option, and there are no 64GB variants available. A notable change in the iPhone 16e is the use of an Apple-developed modem, making it the first iPhone to move away from Qualcomm chips. This new modem supports 5G connectivity, providing faster mobile data speeds.
New Features
One of the standout features of the iPhone 16e is the customizable Action Button, allowing users to quickly access various functions. The device comes with a USB-C port, which is now required in the European market.
Although the phone supports Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W, it does not support MagSafe accessories or fast wireless charging, which is available on pricier iPhone models.
The iPhone 16e also has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for exposure to water up to 6 meters deep.
The camera system is a bit more straightforward, with a single 48MP rear camera, offering a wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization and a 2x optical zoom telephoto option. It also has a 12MP front-facing camera.
Camera system
The iPhone 16e sports a 48MP wide-angle camera with a 2x optical zoom telephoto option and an f/1.6 aperture. The front camera has been upgraded to 12MP with an f/1.9 aperture. The camera system supports Dolby Vision HDR video recording at 4K 60 fps, slo-mo video at 1080p 240fps, and Cinematic mode up to 4K HDR at 30 fps.
Battery and durability
In terms of battery life, Apple claims the iPhone 16e lasts 12 more hours compared to older iPhones, but this comparison is actually made with older models like the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE series, a subtle detail Apple didn’t make clear.
Despite this, the iPhone 16e does offer a bigger battery and the energy-efficient A18 chip, which results in an improvement in battery performance, with up to 26 hours of video playback. It has an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The device supports 5G (sub‑6 GHz), Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and GPS, providing robust connectivity options. It supports dual SIM (nano + eSIM), Face ID using the TrueDepth camera, and stereo speakers for enhanced audio. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16e runs on iOS 18.
What’s the difference between iPhone 16 and 16e?
While it shares a lot of features with the iPhone 16, including the A18 chip, the same 6.1-inch display, aluminum frames, action button, and an IP68 rating. There are several things the company didn’t highlight.
Notably, the iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe charging, the Dynamic Island feature, cinematic and spatial video recording (due to its single 48MP camera), and the latest-gen Ceramic Shield glass. It also has one fewer GPU core than the iPhone 16 and doesn’t feature the 120Hz refresh rate found in the more premium model. As mentioned above, another significant change is Apple’s shift from Qualcomm to its in-house C1 5G modem for the iPhone 16e, which powers the device’s 5G connectivity.
The iPhone 16e price in Nepal starts at NPR 117,100 for the base 128GB and is available for pre-order in Nepal. You can book this phone from the Hukut store and get a free 20W charger and 1-year breakage insurance.
Sony’s Alpha 7R Series is basically a master photography machine. Launched as the successor to the A7R IV, the Sony Alpha 7R V comes with a 61MP full-frame Exmor R sensor and AI autofocus. In this article, we’ll get to the specs, features, and price of the Sony Alpha 7R V in Nepal.
Sony Alpha 7R V Overview:
Camera Sensor
Sony has retained the 61MP Exmor R full-frame sensor on the Alpha 7R V. Accompanying the lens is the latest BIONZ XR processing engine for improved color reproduction and texture rendering by up to 8 times. The 35mm sensor is back-side illuminated (BSI) for improved low-light photography.
Talking of its videography aspects, this camera can capture up to 8K res videos at 25p with a modest crop at 1.2x 10bit 4:2:2 quality. Likewise, it also supports 4K/30/25/24p and 1080/120p recording with no crop.
Handling the stabilization here is a 5-Axis Image Stabilization. Other attributes include 16-bit RAW output, S-Cinetone profile, breathing compensation, focus map, and Active+ stabilization.
Design
As for the design, Sony hasn’t made drastic changes here. It is visually identical to its predecessor. The new A7R V is a bit thicker though due to its 4-axis LCD display with a 2095K dot resolution screen. Likewise, there is a new heat dissipation structure to keep the thermals in check while video recording and burst shooting.
The A7R V boasts a closed shutter mechanism protected by a cover when turned off. While Sony claims a 500,000-frame shutter life on this camera.
The new A7R V has improved AI autofocus. There is a 693 on-sensor phase-detection AF points that cover 79% of the image frame. As compared to the R IV’s EV-3, it can focus down to EV-4. What’s even more interesting is the new AI deep learning which can now also detect a human through pose, eyes, and face. For reference, the A7R IV could only do that with human eyes and faces.
Other Specs
The camera features Dual Slot for CFexpress Type-A/SD(UHS-II) cards. The camera also supports USB PD, allowing users to charge the device even while using it. Talking of the ports options, you get 1 x HDMI output, 1 x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Stereo Headphone Output, 1 x 1/8″ / 3.5 mm TRS Stereo Microphone Input, 1 x USB-C (USB 3.2 / 3.1 Gen 2) Data Output, 1 x USB-C, 1 x PC Sync Socket Output, and 1 x Sony Multi/Micro-USB (USB 2.0). For wireless connectivity, it supports 2.4 / 5 GHz MIMO Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth.
Sony Alpha 7R V Specifications:
Camera Weight: 723 grams
Image Sensor: 131.3 x 96.9 x 82.4 mm, 61.2MP, Exmor R CMOS, Full Frame
When former U.S. President Donald Trump introduced heavy tariffs on imports, it caused a stir in the global market. Although Nepal might not be the direct target of these tariffs, the effects will still reach us especially when it comes to products like the iPhone. Because you know, what happens in Washington doesn’t stay in Washington really. Let’s break it down simply.
iPhone price hike
The Trump administration imposed a baseline 10% tariff on all goods entering the US, including products from Nepal. However, other countries faced even steeper tariffs: 20% on goods from the European Union, 26% on exports from India, and a hefty 54% on Chinese goods.
Since most iPhones are assembled in China, this 54% tax could make them much more expensive in the U.S. (some say up to $2,300). But the problem is Apple might lower its profits in America to keep U.S. customers happy and then raise prices in other countries (like Nepal) to make up for the loss.
Stuck in the middle
The U.S.-China trade war started because the U.S. accused China of unfair practices like stealing technology and selling cheap goods. This led to high tariffs on Chinese imports, and China responded by placing tariffs on U.S. goods like soybeans and cars. While Nepal isn’t directly involved, we are affected because we rely a lot on Chinese products, like phones and electronics, which might get more expensive due to these tariffs. For many of us, who already save for months to buy the latest phone this is definitely not great news. You can see how these global changes don’t just stay “global” anymore; they affect our wallets too.
Nepal’s role in the global game
Though Nepal may seem far from the big powers like the U.S. and China, we’re not untouched by the effects of this tariff war. We import a significant amount from China, and as the tariffs hit Chinese goods, the prices will likely rise here too. Additionally, if global trade tensions escalate, Nepal’s economy could feel some turbulence, particularly in sectors that depend on affordable imports. It’s a reminder that no country is an island when it comes to trade, Nepal included.
Nepal might be a small player in the global market, but we’ll still experience the impact. If prices continue to rise, Nepali consumers who are known for hunting down the best deals may start looking for alternatives. Maybe we’ll have to hold on to our old phones for a bit longer. And even if it’s not the end of the world, things will definitely change.
Conclusion
Nepal might not be directly involved in the tariff wars, but at the end of the day, we’re stuck paying the bill. As prices go up, we might find fewer gadgets in our pockets.
Folks, we have a new update for the Galaxy S25 series, and this one sounds really cool to me. This latest feature introduces real-time intelligence through camera and screen-sharing capabilities, powered by Google’s Gemini AI. Let’s talk about this Samsung visual AI feature in detail.
Real-time visual AI update
This new feature lets you have real-time conversations with the AI, making it feel like you’ve got an assistant right there with you, ready to help you with whatever’s in front of you. To make this work, you have to first activate Gemini, for which you will have to press and hold the side button on your phone. You can now show Gemini what you’re looking at through your camera.
Whether you’re unsure about identifying a plant or need help deciding if your outfit matches (I could use that advice for my jeans and t-shirt dilemma), Gemini’s got your back. Plus, screen sharing is also part of the deal. As you browse online, Gemini can offer personalized style advice just like a personal shopper who doesn’t make you feel bad about your choices.
Sounds fun, right?
Having a conversation with the AI through your camera and screen is a game-changer. We’ve had text-based chats before, but this is a whole new level of communication and more interesting. No more typing out your questions, you just show Gemini what you see and get an instant response. It’s like talking to your bestie who’s always ready to help you pick out the perfect outfit without getting annoyed.
Of course, with all this tech magic comes the big question mark of privacy. As cool as it sounds, to share your camera and screen with the AI raises some concerns. You’ve got to decide how much you’re willing to share with Gemini, so keep that in mind. It’s always good to make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re letting the AI see.
Overall, I’m excited to try this feature myself. I’m not sure how well my outfits will improve, but at least I won’t be deciding what to wear alone anymore!
