Sammy traders came forward to be the distributor of the Allocacoc products in Nepal and had promised to launch five new Allocacoc products on the last day of CAN InfoTech 2017. Among the five, two of them now are available for purchase right away. The two products that arrived on the market are DAX wallet and Levit8 (Portable Laptop Stand). They are currently available on Sastodeal (Sammy’s online partner) and Lowest Retailer (Sammy’s Offline Partner in Kathmandu Valley).
DAX Wallet
DAX Wallet is a slim and nifty wallet with water repellant body. It consists of five thin plastic compartments to keep track of your cards (visiting cards, identity card, credit cards, etc). The name wallet does not hold true if it just holds cards. So, in order to hold the money, a small pocket has also been provided. This wallet is also provided with a small magnetic strip, which adheres with another magnet attached to the wallet and locks it. This lock prevents the falling of cards from the compartments. This wallet is thin and light too, and hence avoids the conspicuous sag and lump on your pocket. DAX Wallet is available on SastoDeal with blue, gray and orange color variants and cost Rs. 950 for a one.
Levit8 (Portable Laptop Stand)
Nowadays, many of us use laptops. And the back pain due to incorrect posture while using them is another big problem. This problem not only keeps us tired but also decreases our productivity. To help us get away with this problem, a group of creative designers came up with an idea of Levit8. Levit8 seems like a fatter version of a leaflet, which can turn into a portable laptop stand. The leaves of the Levit8 should be crossed and twisted to make it a laptop stand. On this stand, more than twenty laptops can be adjusted. This laptop stand is lighter in weight. So you will not feel burden while carrying it. In addition, the material used in this laptop stand is water repellent and stain free. So you can also use this laptop stand as a shield to protect your laptop. On the SastoDeal, there are three variants of Levit8 available and the respective cost of them are Rs. 2,290, Rs. 2,590 and Rs. 2,890 respectively.
Applications are what fuels our smartphone, for an average person there may be 20 to 80 different applications installed on their phone. And it is safe to say that not all applications are properly optimized for the device to give the utmost performance and battery optimization. In a typical android sense to install an application, you have to download the app package and install it which takes up huge space and keeps running in the background with all of its unnecessary services.
So what could be the alternative? We already have the idea of what web apps are, they are basically the web version of some particular app or the website could be some form of an app itself. Since 2015, Chrome has enabled us with the choice to put a website on our home screen as “Add to Homescreen” option. But there were limitations to the web apps like no notification, if you like to heavily customize your android there was no way to overlay the shortcut favicon icon with other icon packs and home screen was all you could put the icon and there wasn’t much you could do with the shortcut.

Fast forward to 2017, Google Chrome team has decided to take the Progressive Web Apps to whole another level. The goal of the Chrome team is to make the web apps as likely to be as the native apps. They have introduced new tools like the Lighthouse to make the web apps more mobile friendly and up to par with the Chrome Standards. These web apps will function like the native apps but will be much faster, much more integrated to the Android system and will be light on memory usage and disk usage.
What’s new for Progressive Web Apps?
Real time push notification
Apps visible in app drawer
Load data on the background
Apps visible on Application system menu
Customizable Icons
Improvements compared to the Typical app?
Reliable – Load instantly and never show the down sour, even in uncertain network conditions.
Fast – Respond quickly to user interactions with silky smooth animations and no janky scrolling.
Engaging – Feel like a natural app on the device, with an immersive user experience.
These features will be rolling out on the Chrome Canary and Chrome Dev versions. You will also be able to install web apps as apk packages. To enable the new Progressive Web Apps: Go to the flags link below and enable the option on your Chrome Dev/Canary.
Progressive Web Apps is a certain thing in the near future. This will change the whole ecosystem of android apps, developers need to be both web and app aware. PWA can be the best thing that could have happened to Android.
NTC officially announced that their prepaid users in Kathmandu and Pokhara can enjoy 4G from 4th of Feb 2017. Until now, the 4G service was exclusively available to postpaid users. However, many of us might know that activating 4G in your SIM is not only the criteria to enjoy 4G; You also need a phone that supports 4G. ow do you know if your phone supports 4G? You will have to go through the detail specs of your phone– which is a boring and time-consuming task. Therefore, to make things easier for you, we have compiled a list of all the phones with a 4G capability that is available in Nepal.
This leaves to the question: How do you know if your phone supports 4G? You will have to go through the detail specs of your phone– which is a boring and time-consuming task. Therefore, to make things easier for you, we have compiled a list of all the phones with a 4G capability that is available in Nepal.
Like around a month ago, Nepal Telecom (NTC) launched 4G for the first time. But finding the service to be limited to Postpaid users only, prepaid users were really disappointed. However, it was certain that prepaid users could upgrade to 4G but the date wasn’t certain till yesterday. Now, any prepaid users within a network of Kathmandu and Pokhara can upgrade to 4G service.
How to activate 4G in NTC (Prepaid/Postpaid)
Activating 4G is simple. All you need to do is go to your phone dialer and dial ” *444# “. A new dialog box will appear asking you to enter “1” to confirm. After the moment you press 1 and hit send, you’ll get a notification message from NTC. The Notification message will say something like, “4G promo-pack is activated”. The good news is, this activation of 4G is totally free. No activation charge needs to be paid.
What is in the 4G_Promo_Prepaid pack?
The 4G_Promo_Prepaid pack will be valid for 4 days (96 hours) after the activation. You can use free data worth 100MB every day. But once you exceed the data limit for that day, regular charges will be applied to your data usages. Well, free 100MB every day is also a good deal but not as good as 1GB every day that was for the Postpaid Users.
Dear NTC, Why is such biases among your own subscribers? Why?
Verdict:
I personally activated 4G in my Prepaid Number. The experience was satisfactory. I felt the change in speed. As a test, I tried playing a YouTube video in 1080p and it buffered the video insanely fast. Just activate the 4G_Promo_Prepaid for your number and experience the fast connectivity yourself. But before activating, make sure your mobile supports 4G LTE Network Band 3 (1800MHz).
The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is the latest premium smartphone from the Korean giants. It has a 6-inch display, 6 GB of RAM, and Snapdragon 652 processor. It will go on sale in a matter of weeks here in Nepal for an expected price of around 55 to 60K.
We got to use the device for two days. So, here is our quick review to find out if this phone is worth all your money.
Design
The Galaxy C9 Pro is a handsome lad and easily the best looking Samsung device that I have ever held in my hands. It houses a metal back giving a premium feeling. The device is thin and carries a bit of weight. At the front, the Galaxy C9 Pro sports a tall 6-inch display. Even for its huge display size, I had no problem using the device. It sure is ergonomically built.
The display is accompanied by a primary camera and an earpiece along with accelerometer, proximity, light and gyro sensors. I was really surprised with Samsung’s choice here as the company adds all these sensors only in its the high-end flagship devices. The front part edges out with 2.5D curved gorilla glass making the device look seamless. The home button on the bottom chin doesn’t bulge out like previous Samsung smartphones and fits in perfectly into the chin. It also serves as a fingerprint sensor. The volume rockers and power button sit on the left and right side of the device. The Galaxy C9 Pro features a speaker at the bottom. And yes, it does come with a headphone jack.
Display
The Galaxy C9 Pro flaunts a tall 6-inch Super AMOLED 1080p display with 367 for the PPI. The display looks bright, colorful and well saturated – thanks to its super AMOLED panel. Unlike previous Samsung smartphones, the Galaxy C9 Pro comes with an auto brightness adjusting function, that auto-adjusts the brightness level in accordance to the lighting. I had no problem in using the device in a bright environment. And the best part is the inclusion of Always on Display.
Software
Talking about the software, the Galaxy C9 Pro comes with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box with TouchWiz UI on top of it. It is commendable that the Korean giants have now opted for a toned down version of TouchWiz in their devices. While I am more inclined towards stock Android experience, I had now problem using the interface. The C9 Pro comes with little bloatware which was kind of useful. It also supports multi-window mode which goes well with the huge 6-inch display. And it has already been confirmed that the device will get Android Nougat update. All in all, for me, the software experience was top-notch and snappy.
Performance
The Galaxy C9 Pro comes with an Octa-core Snapdragon 653 processor clocked at 1.9GHz. Considering its price range, the company should have at least went with the Snapdragon 820/821 SoC. Also, the device features Adreno 510 GPU. It would have been better if Samsung had chosen Adreno 530 GPU, as it performs better during gaming. Nonetheless, I got no lags and stutters while during my time of using the device. The C9 Pro could handle everything, from heavy gaming to using tons of apps at the same time, thanks to its 6GB RAM.
Hardware
On the hardware side, the device features 64GB of onboard storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via microSD card. Samsung seems to have listened to its users as the device comes with a dedicated microSD slot. The mono speaker on the C9 Pro is only decent. For its connectivity, it has a USB Type-C connector that supports fast charging which is really necessary due to the large battery it comes with. The fingerprint scanner of the device is fast and is probably even faster than Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. It works perfectly and I had no hiccups unlocking the device. The C9 Pro supports 4G connectivity with its dual Nano SIM.
Camera
On specs sheet, the Galaxy C9 pro is equipped with a 16-megapixel rear and front camera, both with f/1.9 aperture. The pictures come out bright, sharp and well saturated in a well-lit environment. The rear camera is equipped with dual tone LED flash which helped in balancing the lighting of objects and their background. The device, however, doesn’t do well in a dark environment as the pictures come out over-exposed and quite grainy. I also didn’t like the fact that it doesn’t shoot 4K videos. The front camera is perfect for selfie lovers. It takes sharp and bright images. Like most of its devices, Samsung has included the palm gesture to take pictures. The camera app comes with some inbuilt editing effects.
Battery
Under the hood, the C9 Pro comes with a huge 4000 mAh battery which will last for a couple of days under normal usage. Add this with Samsung’s built-in ‘S power planning’ and you won’t be searching for your charger for a few days. And thanks to its fast battery charging, I could charge up the battery in a short time period.
Early Verdict
So, to conclude the C9 Pro is a quite decent smartphone. It is a tall phablet that even for its size, is easier to use. The design is excellent and the device feels top-notch. And with 6GB of RAM, you sure won’t be facing any lags. This device is meant for those who like using big displays for gaming and multimedia experience. Even though its camera isn’t of a flagship standard, it is a good buy considering its price range.
Samsung has a lot to prove in 2017. It’ll certainly get a comeback with the release of the next galaxy, the Galaxy S8. But, that won’t be enough. Lately, it’s losing the image of providing considerable midrange phone at cheaper prices. The availability of Specs heavy phones at cheaper price from different Chinese manufacturers made Samsung lose its market share worldwide. The J series family of smartphones did great but Samsung wants them to do even better. Samsung is looking forward to selling 100 million units of smartphone from Galaxy J family worldwide.
It might sound challenging but is possible. Samsung is adding the fourth J7 in its J-series family and it’s the Samsung Galaxy J7 2017. Well, it is only recently that we started to see renders of its new design. Now, the leaked benchmark details made us be more confident about its release more than ever.
Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 (design render and leaked specs)
The design render shows a fresh design for the next Samsung Galaxy J7. It looks easy to spot from rest of its predecessors with that gray strip along the camera module which might as well double as antenna lines. Like J7 prime, the loudspeaker is placed on the right top edge of the device. Rumors say the phone might come with some water resistance that’ll be a most welcome feature in a midrange phone.
What is more interesting than its design render is its leaked benchmark details. That detail gives us a glimpse on what the phone will be packing inside.
Looking at the specs in the test benchmark records made us scrub our heads. As it is in conflict with rumored specs. Earlier, Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 was rumored to pack a 3GB RAM but here it shows up as if that’ll be of 2GB only. However, Samsung might be releasing two variants of this phone depending on the region. What we can be sure of is, the phone will come with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box. It’ll be powered by an Octa-core processor from Qualcomm that’ll be clocked at 2.2Ghz or the Exynos 7870 SoC. Plus, the rumor says it is Qualcomm SnapDragon 626. It’ll be a 5.5 inch full HD LCD panel just like its predecessors. Nonetheless, it won’t have a fingerprint sensor and many might find it disappointing. Additionally, the camera units will be the same 13MP at back and 5MP on the front.
Honestly speaking, I wanted the next Galaxy J7 to sport a fingerprint sensor. Let’s wish the rumor about no fingerprint sensor will turn out to be just rumor. Design-wise, the phone looks compelling but how well it’ll feel while holding is something we can say only after getting our hands on it, hopefully, this spring.
Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 Expected Price in Nepal: Rs. 30,000
A few years ago, TV Cable service and Internet were two different services. Recently, many ISPs are giving NetTv as a bundled service. Similarly, DTH providers have included internet service in their packages as well. That is considered a most-welcome service from customer’s point of view. There’s already a healthy competition among the ISPs in Nepal giving better services at cheaper prices. In the current scenario of customers not being satisfied with their latest subscriptions, the establishment of a new service provider is always welcome. Talking about a new DTH in Nepal, HamroTV is struggling to come to the limelight. With a promise to give 4K digital TV service, we can already foresee this company will shortly be the talk of the town.
HamroTV (a new DTH with 4K TV channels and the Internet)
Currently, there isn’t much of the information regarding packages and their pricing from HamroTV. However, their already live website looks promising but lacks the package details. As far as TV channels are concerned, it’ll have over 50 HD channels. There aren’t specific channel names and we don’t know how many of Channels will be in 4K yet. Despite that, their website includes six different channel categories.
We look forward to getting the package details from the HamroTV very soon. We’ll certainly give you details about everything you need to know about this new emerging company and its services. Stay Tuned.
Open Datais a concept that some data should be free without any bounds that means no copyright, patents, or any restrictions. The concept is similar to what we’ve been hearing about the Open Source Software. Open Data are usually the data collected by governments or from several other projects which ensures transparency and accountability. More importantly, people get benefited after being informed with data available in open formats for re-use. But these data may not be recognized by every other average Joe so this is where the Open Data Day Hackathon comes in, where these open data are used to create a platform either web or mobile to visualize and understand the data and also use these data to tackle the real challenges of the society.
Open Data Day Hackathonwill be held on 25th February and the participation is completely free. The event will be taking place on Leapfrog Academy.

The Indian smartphone brand Lava has been in the Nepali smartphone market for quite a while. Lava has been providing low-end mobiles and smartphones for the Nepali users. However, now Lava has been expanding its horizon and toiling to provide mid-range phones. It has recently brought a Lava A3 phone, which is packed with greater specs as compared to its previous models. And this smartphone probably is the first mid-range phone in the Lava family. This new device costs Rs. 25,000 in Nepali market. The manufacturers have claimed that the device comes with greater specs and the slogan ‘Never miss a detail’ justifies it. So, in order to dig the truth, let’s explore what is inside the phone and let’s find out if the phone worth the price and worth a buy.
Design
Lava A3 includes sleek metallic back with carefully placed and convincingly colored plastic caps on the top and bottom of the phone. Though provided with an Aluminum body, the phone is light in weight.
The device is thin, which has added elegance to its design. The curved edges have eased the user to hold the device with a single hand. However, the smooth and soft finish has made the device somewhat slippery. This can, however, be avoided with the addition of skins or back cover to the device. The device also lacks capacitive touch buttons on the chin. However, the on-screen buttons will help you do the job anyway.
Display
Lava A3 comes with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The presence of Gorilla Glass has made the device secure from cracks and scratches. However, the presence of IPS LCD when the other devices are furnishing OLED, Optic AMOLED and Super AMOLED displays has made the Lava A3 somewhat obsolete. The device’s display includes 720p (HD) resolution. As most of the devices in this price segment are available with Full HD resolution, this feature might be the reason to pull back Lava A3 in the race.
However, this resolution slows down the battery consumption and hence provides greater battery backup. On the contrast side, the phone has low contrast ratio. The minimum brightness of the device saves you from the eyestrain. However, in the broad daylight, even with the full brightness, your eyes have to struggle to view the display. The phone comes with auto brightness option, which saves your time of frequently changing display brightness while being on indoors and outdoors. The screen drawback also includes the lack of color saturation in which the true color disguises.
Hardware
Moving on, the device includes circular slot fingerprint scanner on the back, placed right below the camera and LED flash. Lava A3 is furnished with speaker grills on the bottom. There is a single speaker installed to the device, however, two grills are provided for the sake of symmetry. The audio quality of the device is good to the speaker and even on the earphone, however; the sound is not loud enough to struggle in a sonorific environment. The hardware also includes the power button, volume buttons and the charging slot, which is placed on the right, left and bottom of the device respectively. The volume keys and power key are well placed with a suitable distance between them providing the ease even to press them simultaneously when desired. The hardware also includes a tiny LED on the top, which physically reminds you about the notifications by blinking.
Software
On the software, Lava A3 is favored by Android Marshmallow 6.0 and flavored by Star OS 3.3 on the top. The UI of the device is not of the top-notch quality. When I was using the phone, the UI failed to impress me. The lack of app drawer became the problem at first; however, after the installation of a launcher, that absence was never felt. Out of the box, the device does come with some bloatware, which is useful and easily removable if unwanted. The device also includes smart gesture and custom gesture option for the users, which in addition to ease, provide the users to turn their scribbles into the meaningful tasks to the device.
1 of 3
Performance
The device is powered by Mediatek MT6750 chipset, which is an Octa-core processor running at the clock speed of 1.5 GHz. The graphics portion is taken care by the Mali-T860 GPU. The device also comes with the 32 GB of internal memory, which can be expanded with the use of SDcard (upto 64GB). 32 GB is a good amount, however, nearly one-fourth of the internal memory is devoured by the system. This could be the reason to make you fall short while storing your data. The phone also inherits 3 GB DDR3 RAM. The GPU and RAM assembly has done a great job on the device. Even running multiple high-end games, I found no glitches on my play and the performance was lag free. However, there was a heating issue, when the games were played for long.
Battery
Out of the box, the device comes with 3020 mAh non-removable battery. It provides a greater backup on standby and normal use, though, it could betray you being out of charge on the heavy usage. I noticed a quick draining of battery while playing the high-end games. Though the battery served me with an around of five hours of backup even while playing high-end games with my Wi-Fi on. The device also lacks Quick charging technology and indulges itself with the wall-charger for a long time to gain the full charge.
Camera
The camera of the phone is top notch. The 13 MP Sony sensor on the back does a good job with the photos. The camera comes with many options. The camera option includes Gif mode, intelligent selfie, template, sound picture and QR code scanner options, which is a rare feature to be seen in a smartphone camera. In addition, the camera also includes a Bokeh option. The nifty photograph with the option set to Bokeh effect reminded me of some high-quality digital camera. Though the camera is greatly built, we can experience conspicuous grain on the photos shot in the low light. This can be somewhat avoided by shooting photos with the flash on.
On the front, the device includes an 8 MP shooter. Following the footsteps of the rear, the front one too shoots great photos. Even on the low light, the LED flash ensures the clarity and sharpness in the picture. To avoid the blurry and shaky images, the camera is flowered by EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) and phase detection autofocus. While taking videos, the front one is capable of taking VGA videos and the rear one capable of shooting FHD videos. The cameras are also capable of taking customized fast motion videos in the speed interval of 2x to 10x. Both cameras on the phones in the similar price section are capable of shooting Full HD video in the least. So the video resolution of the device failed to dazzle me.
Connectivity
For the cellular connectivity, the phone carries a SIM card tray near the power button. The device is capable of having two SIMs standby. However, this will cut you from the privilege of expanding your storage by the use of SDcard. The phone also encourages 4G compatibility, which is a good news as 4G is now available in Nepal. Other connectivity option includes A-GPS, Bluetooth, Radio and Wi-Fi 802.11 (b/g/n). However, the lack of dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac and OTG cable compatibility is not convincing in this price segment.
Fingerprint
Lava A3 Back View
The sensitivity of the fingerprint sensor in this device is the most astounding feature on the Lava A3. The unlocking of the device will take 0.16 seconds. Putting my finger on the rear-mounted circular slot of fingerprint scanner unlocks the device almost instantaneously. This could probably be the most sensitive fingerprint sensor in this price range. This nifty fingerprint sensor might turn out to lure the customers to buy Lava A3.
Conclusion
In the overall, Lava A3 is a great device. The toils done by the Lava to step up itself from low-end budget devices to the mid-range range device of this quality deserves a due respect. The device’s metallic design, snappy fingerprint scanner, stunning camera, astounding hardware, and performance will not fail to impress you. Display, battery, and software have a place for improvement. They may fall short in the specs as compared to other devices in the price range. However, they are not that disappointing to push you to engulf in the regrets. I will not call it great but this device could definitely be a good buy in this price segment.
A U.S. jury in Texas, on Wednesday, ordered Facebook to pay $500 million to ZeniMax Media Inc., a video game publisher. The lawsuit was filed against Facebook-owned Oculus for allegedly stealing the intellectual property of ZeniMax.
Oculus has been charged for- copyright infringement ($50 million), failure to comply with a non-disclosure agreement ($200 million), and misuse of Oculus trademarks ($50 million). Also, former Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe must also pay $150 million, and current CEO Palmer Luckey must pay $50 million — both for false designation.
ZeniMax has claimed that Oculus founder Palmer Luckey had exploited the Zenimax computer code and trade secrets in order to develop its products. It also said that Oculus’ VR device Oculus Rift was very much lacking until John Carmack, Oculus chief technology officer and founder of a company owned by ZeniMax, improved on the device using his knowledge from his previous work as a ZeniMax employee.
Zenimax – the parent company of id Software which has produced iconic video games such as Doom – has claimed that Facebook had purchased Oculus with ‘full awareness’ that Carmack had indeed stolen the technology. However, Facebook CEO -Mark Zuckerberg had testified in court stating that he had no idea whatsoever about the intellectual property claims between Oculus and ZeniMax.
Anthony Sammi, ZeniMax lawyer has stated that they are pleased with the jury’s award in this case as it reflects the damage done to the company as the result of the theft of their intellectual property. They have also hinted at seeking proper steps to ensure that there will no longer be any use of their misappropriated technology.
Facebook has said that they are, indeed, disappointed by a few aspects of the verdict, but they are undeterred. They have stated that their belief and commitment to the long-term success of VR still remains the same, and the entire team will continue the work they’ve done since day one. They are looking forward to filing an appeal and eventually putting litigation behind them while moving forward to develop a VR that is, simply put, beyond ordinary; and will change how people interact and communicate.
Virtual reality has been a subject of vast approach, scheme, and ideas for the past few decades. Oculus Rift has definitely set the notch up a bit. From the latest reviews, one can clearly know that the Oculus’ attempt in VR, will certainly not go unnoticed. The experience provided by this innovation has genuinely surpassed many of the VR experiences, undoubtedly. But what affect will this lawsuit have against Oculus, against Facebook? We will all have to wait and see.
Nowadays, many of us use laptops. And the back pain due to incorrect posture while using them is another big problem. This problem not only keeps us tired but also decreases our productivity. To help us get away with this problem, a group of creative designers came up with an idea of Levit8. Levit8 seems like a fatter version of a leaflet, which can turn into a portable laptop stand. The leaves of the Levit8 should be crossed and twisted to make it a laptop stand. On this stand, more than twenty laptops can be adjusted. This laptop stand is lighter in weight. So you will not feel burden while carrying it. In addition, the material used in this laptop stand is water repellent and stain free. So you can also use this laptop stand as a shield to protect your laptop. On the SastoDeal, there are three variants of Levit8 available and the respective cost of them are Rs. 2,290, Rs. 2,590 and Rs. 2,890 respectively.
