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.

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.

The best phone under 20k just got the Android Nougat Update

If you’ve gone through our updated list of top smartphones to buy under 20,000 in Nepal, you must have already known which phone made to the top of the list. But if you are still not familiar with our pick for the current best smartphone under 20,000 then let me unfold the mystery for you and it’s no other than Huawei GR5 Mini. The already good phone now got even better with the new software update of EMUI 5.0 that is based on Android 7 Nougat. So, if you have a Huawei GR5 Mini that is based on EMUI 4.1, here’s how to upgrade your old phone to the new EMUI 5.0.

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.

What’s changed in EMUI 5.0 as compared to EMUI 4.1?

When it comes to the software update, the curiosity is always towards what’s changed. Addressing that curiosity of yours, here we’ve mentioned the changes that one can find in EMUI 5.0:

1. New Home-Screen Interface:

The home-screen now has a refreshed look and feel with new icons, font, color, and the layout. In addition to that, the home-screen now has a cleaner time and weather widget that is aligned to left by the default.

2. Notification Shade:

The notification shade is no longer split into two sections of notifications and quick setting toggles. 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.

4. New Recent App Tiles:

Finally, the recent app tiles are organized as three-dimensional cards stacked one over another just like in the stock android.

5. App Twin:

With the new app twin feature, you can now log into two Facebook or Whatsapp accounts right from your one phone.

In case you aren’t already familiar with the Huawei GR5 Mini and it’s offering then here are the full specs of the phone.

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.

HTC One X10 Launched with 4,000mAh battery

While we’re waiting for the HTC 11 to get announced, HTC has recently launched a mid-ranger, the HTC One X10. The phone was found listed on the Russian site of the company, which is expected to go on sale later this month for RUB 19,990 which is around USD 335. The major focus of the phone is given to its battery life and comes with a massive 4,000mAh battery which the company claims will last for 2 whole days of usage.

Being a mid-range phone of 2017, it comes with a familiar set of specs. It carries a 5.5-inch Full HD display with pixel density of 401ppi and is protected with an unspecified version of the Gorilla Glass. Powering the phone is Helio P10 octa-core processor clocked at 1.8Ghz. Paired with that comes 3GB of RAM. For graphical performance, it has Mali-T860MP2 GPU. The phone also comes in a sleek metal body with typical HTC design and carries a fingerprint sensor on the back.

It comes with 32GB internal storage which can be expanded up to 256GB via MicroSD card. For optics, it comes with 16MP Rear Camera with f/2.0 aperture, Optical Image Stabilization and can shoot 4K @30fps. Up front, it has an 8MP Camera. The X10 also comes with Stereo speakers. USB C is something we wanted to see in 2017, but many mid-range phones have failed to carry one including the X10. But that’s not all, the rumors claim the phone is still running on the outdated version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow which the HTC hasn’t confirmed yet.

The phone comes with HTC’s Boost+ function which dynamically manages the phones resources to provide better performance while gaming. This is definitely something to look forward on a mid-range phone.
