Meizu Super mCharge Tech Lets You Achieve 0 to 60% Charge in 10 mins

0

Mobile technology has been developing expeditiously; We’re seeing a faster processor, better display, better cameras and better everything we can imagine on our smartphones, except for the battery life of the phone. Although the battery sizes have significantly improved in the past few years, but the backup we get from them is nowhere near what we would want. So instead of trying to improve the battery backup time, it will be a better to improve the battery charging time. And that is what Meizu did at the MWC this time with their new Super mCharge technology.

mCharge

MCharge has come a long way and the one they are previewing at the MWC is already the fourth generation of that technology. mCharge uses a high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system. The charger used for the mCharge is rated at 11V/5A for 55W. If you are curious if it’s fast enough, the fastest charger from OnePlus (Dash Charge) delivers 5V/4A for 20W. The maximum temperature of the battery will be 39C and you should be able to comfortably use the phone while plugged in a wall. Meizu has also used USB cables that can hold up to 160W (20V/8A) of electricity which the company claims are extremely safe.

Meizu claims their charging technology is 11 times faster than the iPhone 7 and 3.6 times faster than the Galaxy S7 charging. So with this technology, you should be able to charge your phone up to 60% within 10 mins and your phone will be completely charged within 20mins, which is insane! The battery remains over 80% capacity even after 800 complete charge and discharge cycles. Based on Meizu’s data analysis, the battery’s service life exceeds more than two years.

So at the end, it all comes down to the charger, and it’s HUGE! If you compare it side by side with the Meizu M5s with a 5.2-inch display, the charger is almost as big as the phone. But it’s the weight that world can carry if they can get their phone fully charged in 20 minutes. Well if you ‘re excited about mCharge, don’t be just yet. This technology won’t be out until 1 or 2 years and for now, we can look into the future and feel hopeful for something exciting that is being created.

OnePlus 3T Launched in Nepal; Priced Competitively at Rs. 54,900

4

iHub Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of OnePlus products in Nepal has launched the OnePlus 3T in Nepal. The phone has been launched for NRs. 54,900 and goes on sale starting from 7th March. The OnePlus 3T, an updated version of OnePlus 3, offers a faster processor, bigger battery, better selfie camera and sapphire lens protection for the primary camera lens.

It might be little disappointing to those who have just purchased a discounted OnePlus 3. We are sorry to say your new OnePlus 3 isn’t that new anymore but still, the OnePlus 3T isn’t a big of a change from the OnePlus 3, keeping the same aesthetics in design, dimension, weight, RAM offering, same 5.5-inch display with the same resolution, and same rear camera hardware. We are here to tell you in detail what has changed and what has not in the OnePlus 3T as compared to OnePlus 3.

What’s changed – Oneplus 3 Vs Oneplus 3T?

The OnePlus 3T packs a faster Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2.35 GHz. It comes in a newly introduced “GunMetal” color option and can be found in storage options of either 64 GB or 128 GB. But here in Nepal, only the 64GB version is available as of today. Still keeping up with the same dimension and design, the 3T has managed to offer a bigger battery of 3400mAh which is a 13% increment as compared to its predecessor.

The front-facing shooter has just got better with a bump up to 16 MegaPixel from 8 MegaPixel and is said to have better low light performance. The protecting lens of the rear camera is now more scratch-resistant sapphire lens and the shooter is said to feature improved Electronic Image Stabilization when shooting videos. It is said to have an improved version of its OxygenOS that is based on Android 7.0 Nougat.

The One Plus 3T is offering the same generous 6 GB of RAM and has kept the identical design and dimension. Other than GunMetal, it still comes in the attractive color option of Soft Gold but only in 64 GB variant. Like the OnePlus 3, it offers dual nano-sim card tray and no space for SD cards. Nothing has changed in the display category which is still the 5.5″ full HD (1080P) optic AMOLED one. The highly praised fast proprietary charging technology of OnePlus called the Dash Charge is still there giving its users a day’s power for half an hour. It has the same rear camera unit of 16 MegaPixel that still rocks the Optical Image Stabilization and sports the same fingerprint scanner. Nothing has changed in the audio sides as well and for those concerned, yes, it still has a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Why it’s called the OnePlus 3T, but not OnePlus 3S?

As the OnePlus said, it wanted to give its user a better experience and said this new phone is a hardware update to its last offering along with the software update. As far as the naming goes, it had something interesting to say, “We went with ‘T’ because a lot of other companies go with ‘S,’ and since we are OnePlus we decided to go with the next letter, read one more.” Well, that sounds logical to some extent but I wish if T was an acronym for something like Turbo or Tweaked. The phone was launched on November 15th in a facebook live event was available for purchase in the US starting on November 22nd and in Europe on November 28th. But here in Nepal, the phone is available for purchase almost like 4 months late.

Xiaomi Mi 5C announced with Xiaomi’s own Processor

1

With MWC going on strong, we saw pretty amazing launches like the LG G6, Huawei’s P10 and P10 Plus, Sony XZ Premium and even Nokia coming back from the ashes with 3 new android phones. But Xiaomi is not at MWC this year, instead, they hosted a separate event in Beijing to announce their new in-house chipset Surge S1 along with the phone powered by it, the Mi 5C.

The Xiaomi Mi 5C is the new iteration of Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 5. The phone is a trimmed down version of the MI5 with a less powerful processor, camera, and a slightly small battery. The phone comes with a 5.15inch full HD display with 515 nits brightness which is not the brightest display out there.

The phone comes with 3GB of RAM and is backed up by a decent 2860mAh battery with fast charging.

Xiaomi Mi 5C

The main highlight of the phone is the Xiaomi’s in-house chipset dubbed as the Surge S1 which has been made with the partnership of Pinecone. Xioami is the second phone in China to come up with its own chipset after Huawei. Surge S1 is an octa-core SoC with four ARM Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and the rest four ARM Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.4GHz. This new processor is comparable to the Snapdragon 625 and the MediaTek Helio P20. The processor took 28 months to make and has been mass produced to use in other brands besides the Xiaomi, so we might see a lot of Chinese OEM’s using the new Surge S1 chipset.

Other options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM Radio, etc. Sensors embedded in the device include gyroscope, accelerometer, and proximity. The device, however, lacks a fingerprint scanner.
