Turing Phone Appassionato with sapphire display Announced

Turing Robotics Industries (TRI) launched the Turing Phone back in 2015 which was dubbed as the Unhackable and Unbreakable phone. Now after 2 years of pause, the company is back again with a new product, the Turing Phone Appasionato. The phone, unlike the previous version, doesn’t claim to be Unhackable, but instead, it is the first widely manufactured phone made out of Liquidmorphium.

Turing Phone Appassionato

Build quality and toughness seems to be the words at play here. The phone is made out of Liquidmorphium, a type of alloy that is more durable than steel and titanium. Beautiful design and sturdy build quality are definitely what we crave for, but the phones these days have to sacrifice the toughness for the beauty of the phone. Liquidmorphium can definitely change that. The phone will also have diamond-like carbon coating which provides a high-tech ceramic feel and makes the device less prone to scratches. And most importantly, it will use ultra-strong sapphire glass for its display. It is the same glass Apple uses for the lens of the iPhone Cameras. With this, we could finally be heading towards a future with shatterless displays.

Turing Phone Appassionato

Despite the build quality, most of the internals of the phone are of outdated. The phone is powered by Snapdragon 820 Processor and comes with Adreno 530 GPU. The phone will be running on Android 7.1.1. Apart from this, not much has been revealed about the phone. The phone has a long way to go until its release date, which is in September. So many things could change during that time. But apart from specs, the unique thing about the phone is, it provides it’s own Personal Assistant and concierge service named “Sir Alan.”

The Turing Phone Appassionato will come in two variants, namely: Elite PX8 which costs $1,099; and the Premium Luxury Edition GX8, costing $1,599. It’s not clear, what’s the difference between these two models and for the price it costs it should definitely be something remarkable.

New phone launches are always exciting but what is more exciting is getting to know about the phone’s specs beforehand. April 19, has been officially marked as the big day for the Xiaomi as it is when the company’s new flagship, the Xiaomi Mi 6, will be officially announced. But, the same date might be carrying a surprise for you as the rumors about the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 are circulating the web like never before. So, we’d like to share what we know so far about the company’s second iteration of a well-accepted phablet, the Mi Max.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2: Rumors Round-Up

As far as the rumors are concerned, the next phablet from Xiaomi, Mi Max 2, might be coming in two different models: regular and prime. Coming to the similarities in both models, they’ll have 6.4inch full HD display, monstrous 5,000 mAh battery, USB Type-C, Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box, 12MP rear and 5MP front cameras. So, where these two models will differ is obviously the pricing along with the processor and memory offerings. The regular Mi Max 2 is expected to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 coupled with 4GB RAM and will offer 64GB of onboard storage. Whereas, the prime model will be powered by more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 coupled with 6GB RAM and will offer 128GB of onboard storage. However, the

However, the Adreno 506 GPU will be taking care of Graphics department on both the models. Furthermore, the rumor claims the device to sport rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It is from the leaked image that we found out the device will come in gold color option along with few other options of which we’re still not much sure about.

Verdict

Well, it was the rumors that we were talking about. So, it won’t be that wise to judge the phone right from its rumors. Plus, there hasn’t been an official statement regarding the phone launch. So, we are hoping the phone will be officially announced tomorrow and if not, will be announced somewhere in May at the latest. Judging from the Vatsel Impex’s behavior of launching Xioami phones in Nepal, the phone can be expected to be available in Nepal after 2-3 months from its international release.

How to Update Huawei GR5 Mini from EMUI 4.1 to EMUI 5.0?

Step 1: Make sure the “HiCare” app on your phone is in 2.0.2_OVE and above. In case, the app is in a lower version, you can easily update your HiCare app from the Google PlayStore.

Step 2: Make sure your device is on NMO-L31C636B152. To check that go to the “Settings” and then to “About Phone” and tally the build number to the one mentioned above.

Step 3: Open the HiCare app and agree to whatever it asks for and then from the Services, choose to become “OS upgrade, early adopters”

Step 4: Now to get the new EMUI 5.0 update, go to Settings and then to the Updater. Download and install the update and bam, now your GR5 mini will have EMUI 5.0 based on Android 7 Nougat.

Hence, both the toggles and the notifications are now accessible with just one swipe over the screen. Since EMUI 5.0 is based on Android 7 Nougat, it now enables you to send “quick reply” right from the notification.

3. App Drawer:

Huawei has finally addressed the outcry of its users for the EMUI to not have the app drawer. And, finally with this new update now you can enable or disable “App Drawer” in your home screen as per your preference.

Official: Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus To Launch on 19th April in Nepal

Just a few week back, Samsung released its top of the line smartphone, the Galaxy S8 and the S8 Plus. The devices are a unique sight and pretty refreshing amongst the bunch of bland industrial designed phones. The new Galaxy S8’s are all screen with 84% screen to body ratio giving a bezel-less, full-frontal, edge-to-edge screen.

Now, Samsung Nepal has sent out an invitation for April 19 to a Galaxy S8 event that reads “Inspired by Everest, We are more than happy to invite you to the launch event of Samsung Galaxy S8 | S8+.” The company hasn’t provided any indication as to the Galaxy S8 price in Nepal.

[Update: Samsung S8 and S8 Plus is now available in Nepal for even cheaper rate. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is priced at Rs. 76,900 and the Galaxy S8 Plus is priced at Rs.86,900. Read more about the deals here]

Samsung Galaxy S8 | Specs & Which Variant is Launched in Nepal

Galaxy S8’s look completely different from other bezel-less phones. The edge-to-edge display is something we’ve been witnessing since S6 days, but this tall 18:9 aspect ratio display is truly remarkable. Unlike other bezel-less phones, it has maintained an acceptable amount of chin on the top and bottom instead of a single-sided chin. Despite these phones not having a typical screen size, they are more compact than the rest of the bunch. Due to the small bezels, the 5.8 and 6.2-inch screen has a smaller footprint than the iPhone 7 Plus with a 5.5inch screen.

The S8’s are powered by the latest Exynos 8895 Octa-Core Chipset clocked at 2.3Ghz and for Graphical performance comes with Adreno 540GPU. It has 4GB of RAM despite 2017 seemed like the year of 6 or 8GB. For storage, it has got 64GB Internal memory and comes with a Micro SD card slot which is an utmost necessity. Optics-wise, it comes with the same camera module as the Galaxy S7 but it has been tweaked for better low-light imaging and faster focus.

On the software side of things, we have the new Samsung Assitant Bixby. Instead of capacitive keys, now there are on-screen navigation keys. Eye Scanner from the Note 7 is back as well. The placing of the fingerprint sensor is something people are pissed at. As a tall phone, it is difficult to reach out to the sensor located at the very top of the phone.

Backing up these phones are a 3,000mAh (S8) and 3,500mAh (S8+) battery which seems pretty low given the high tuning of the phone. But we cannot overlook what Samsung has provided for backing the device. It comes with fast charging and wireless fast charging which is really convenient. Even if your batteries run out you can half day, you can juice it up in no time.

Samsung Galaxy S8 price in Nepal

The US pricing of Samsung S8 and S8 Plus is $750 and $850 respectively. In Nepal, the price of Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus are Rs. 76,900 and Rs.86,900. You can buy the devices from the nearest retail outlets.
