OPPO F3 Latest Price in Nepal After Price Drop

OPPO has slashed the price of its recently launched “Dual Selfie camera” smartphone. The OPPO F3 Price in Nepal is now Rs. 32,990, a full Rs. 2,500 price drop from the launch price of Rs. 35,490.

The OPPO F3 has only been available in Gold color option, but the Company has also made the Black Edition available here in Nepal. The Black Color option looks stunning and I personally would prefer the black color.

Check out our Video Review of OPPO F3 here:

Specs wise, the OPPO F3 has a 5.5-inch 1080P display with the latest Gorilla Glass 5 protection. It is powered by an average octacore MediaTek (MT6570T) processor, but on a brighter side, it does have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The phone is backed by a 3200mAh battery but like its bigger siblings OPPO F3 Plus, it lacks fast charging abilities.

The feature focus of the OPPO F3 is its front camera. There are two front cameras — 16MP and 8MP. The 16MP unit is for taking high res selfie, while the 8MP unit is for taking a group selfie. On the rear lies a 13MP primary camera.

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.

  • 5.5-inch IPS LCD display, 1080 x 1920 pixels, Corning Gorilla Glass 5

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

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.

ZTE Smartphones Officially Available Online in Nepal

Evolution Enterprises, the official distributor of ZTE smartphones in Nepal, has recently launched its own official online store for ZTE smartphones and accessories. 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.

ZTE Smartphones that are available Online in Nepal

Currently, 9 ZTE smartphones are available in the ZTE online store. Out of those 9, 7 smartphones are from Blade Series and the remaining 2 are from the Axon Series of ZTE Smartphones. 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”.

MoonBao WOW Sale, an EPIC fail

MoonBao WOW Sale, an EPIC fail

MoonBao, a new e-commerce website in Nepal had scheduled its launch today at 12:12pm with a grand “WOW sale” that neither happened as scheduled nor got a reschedule. This launch event was in the schedules of many since the company had promised to put different items on sale at Rs. 1 only. As per the announcement, the first 1000 registered customers would be able to buy any item for Rs. 1 only. Since the contest was valid for “First Come First Serve” basis, many had been sitting in front of the computer to do their first dream sale. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the excitement of the “flash sale” to turn into frustration.

Honestly, even I’m the one among those more than 3k believers who trusted on MoonBau’s Wow Sale without a second thought. Yes, the website might have a technical issue but MoonBau didn’t respond wisely as a company. They should have rather pushed their wow sale to a different schedule, like tomorrow at the same time or today at a different time, that way its followers and believers wouldn’t be as mad as they are now. What they did was, responded with an uncertainty on when the Wow Sale will take place.

Had this been managed responsibly, the Moonbao wouldn’t have geo those many 1-star rating on its Facebook even before starting of their service. With this Wow sale, they might have managed to get remarkable Facebook likes but which are certain to go down very soon. This could have been “an epic initiative” but unfortunately, turned into “a failed initiative”.

By the time I posted this article, It has already been more than an hour from the schedule and they haven’t even published a reschedule for the “WOW Sale”. That’s nothing but a shame.

Oneplus 5 launching on June 20th: Everything you need to know

A couple of years back when OnePlus launched the OnePlus One, it was dubbed as the ‘flagship killer’. The One came with flagship features on a budget of just $349. Fast forward a couple of years, OnePlus has really started to make its name for the devices it has manufactured. OnePlus 3 and 3T, launched in 2016, is still winning the hearts of customers. So, the company from China, which previously depended on invite system, is currently making an impact in the smartphone market.

oneplus 5 rumors

After months of speculations and leaks, OnePlus is finally set to launch the OnePlus 5, the company’s (first) flagship for this year. It skipped number ‘4’ as it is considered to be an unlucky number. OnePlus is set to unveil the OnePlus 5 on the 20th June. So, what is the new ‘flagship killer’ offering this year around? Let’s take a look.

Design

According to a recent leak, it looks as though the OnePlus 5 will come with a dual rear camera setting and an edge-to-edge display at the front. The image, leaked by Android Police, shows that the device will come in a good-looking metal backing with a horizontal camera set up which will be accompanied by LED flash. The leaked picture shows a minimal design at the back with a OnePlus branding on the middle.

It will indeed come with a headphone jack, a cryptic tweet from co-founder Carl Pei confirmed

OnePlus 5 rumors official design

Update: OnePlus just released this image all over social media which showcases dual cameras. If the design is considered, the OnePlus 5 seems to share iPhone 7 Plus’ design factor.

Display

The previous five smartphones from OnePlus came with a 1080 x 1920 pixels display. 2017 could be the year customers will finally get to quad HD display in a OnePlus device as leaks suggest that the OnePlus 5 will sport a 5.5-inch Quad HD panel.

oneplus 5 rumors

Regarding the type of the display, some rumors say that the shortage of AMOLED panel could result in the manufacturer opting for an LCD display. It will not feature bezel-less displays like the Samsung Galaxy S8 or LG G6, though. But it could come with bezel-less sides.

Processor, Software, and Storage

Every year OnePlus launches its smartphones with high-end flagship chipsets on the inside. We can expect this trend to not change anytime soon. Plus, OnePlus has already confirmed that the OnePlus 5 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset.

oneplus 5 rumors snapdragon processor

Accompanying the chipset could be an octa-core processor and 6 GB or a whopping 8 GB of RAM. Even Blass, a reliable leaker, has mentioned that the smartphone will feature 8 GB of RAM. Nonetheless, the Snapdragon 835 SoC along with 6 GB or 8 GB of RAM will surely suffice needs of even the hardcore users.

As far as the operating system goes, the OnePlus 5 will run on Oxygen OS on top of Android Nougat. The device will have ample storage as it will come with 128 GB of internal storage.

Battery

The OnePlus 5 is expected to be backed up by a 3,600 mAh battery. Some rumors suggest it to even have a huge 4,000 mAh battery. But it is hard to believe that the Chinese company will opt for such a huge battery.

Dash charge on the OnePlus 3

Nonetheless, the fact that it will be supported by Dash Charge is great. Also, it is said that this time around, it will be able to charge the new smartphone 25% faster than its predecessor which is cherry on top.

Price

OnePlus has made its name for the cheaper price point it comes in. It features flagship, and sometimes, some beastly specifications and comes in an under $500 price point. But the price of the 3 and the 3T didn’t go well with some of the OnePlus loyal customers due to its increased pricing.

While the pricing of under $400 for a smartphone with these many features would actually be sweet, speculations suggest it to carry a price tag of $500 which is an increase from the $439 price of the OnePlus 3T. Android Authority has claimed the OnePlus 5 to come with an even expensive price of $650 as the company is using some costly components to build the device.

OnePlus 5 rumored specifications:

  • 5.5-inch, Quad HD LCD (or AMOLED) display
  • Android Nougat with Oxygen OS
  • Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor
  • 6 or 8 GB of RAM
  • 128 GB Internal Storage
  • Dual rear-facing camera setup
  • 3,600 mAh battery with Dash Charge support
  • Front-mounted fingerprint sensor
  • Price: $500 (or $650)
