Benco is launching new smartphones back-to-back in the Nepali market. Just two months after launching the Benco V91 Plus, the company introduced the V92. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the specifications of Benco V92 including price in Nepal and availability details.
Benco V92 Overview
Design and Display
The Benco V92 features a rough leather finish in dual tones. This makes it look a tad more premium than what one might usually credit it for. On the back, you’ll find a round camera island housing two cameras and an LED flash somewhat resembling the midrange Realme 11 Pro from a few years back.
For the display, the phone showcases a 6.72-inch FHD+ display, with a 90.55% screen-to-body ratio and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The company seems a lot inspired by Apple because previously the back of the Benco V91 Plus was very similar to the latest iPhones and now the phone features Smart Window similar to iPhone’s Dynamic Island.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the Benco V92 is powered by the Unisoc T606 Octa-Core processor, featuring dual Cortex A75 cores and other Cortex A55 cores. While it is an entry-level chip, the T606 should fare just fine using some social media, smoothly navigating the UI, and making phone calls. Gaming might be a little out of the question here but you’d definitely boot up some casual titles like Subway Surfers or Candy Crush!
The phone comes in multiple memory configurations: 6GB/128GB, 6/256GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB, with all configurations supporting virtual RAM expansion and up to 2TB of expandable storage via microSD.
Additionally, the device is equipped with a 5000mAh battery with the support of 18W Type-C fast charging. It should provide you with all-day battery life for social media scrolling or clicking pictures or even last a couple extra days if you’re a light user. Top-up will be relatively quick too thanks to that fast charging support and you can expect a full charge in just a few short hours.
For optics, the Benco V92 packs a 32MP front camera and on the back, there is a dual-camera setup featuring a 50MP primary camera with a large f/1.79 aperture, along with a 8MP ultra-wide and macro lens. Although it might not be as apparent, you can shoot ultrawide photos from this device by going to the ‘More’ options in the app and selecting ‘Ultrawide’.
Furthermore, the V92 runs on Android 14 but there’s no information about promised number of upgrades. It is available in Sahara Gold and Space Black colors, the former of which would be my personal pick because of that leather back. There’s a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.
The Benco V92 price in Nepal is set at NPR 16,999 for the 6GB/256GB variant. Benco also offers 100 days of free replacement in case of hardware issues. So, it can a reliable choice for those looking for a budget smartphone with a good design under 20,000 rupees!
After months of waiting, the Aspire 5 2023 with an Intel i5-1335U CPU, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD storage launched a while ago. And the RTX 2050 version is also here. Without further ado, let’s walk through the specs, features, and official price of Acer Aspire 5 15 2023 in Nepal.
Acer Aspire 5 15 2023 Overview:
Design and Display
To begin with, the Acer Aspire 5 15 2023 continues with the budget design language, consisting of a plastic body and an aluminum lid. The laptop comes in multiple color options in other markets, but it is only available in the “Steel Grey” shade in Nepal.
On the display side, you are looking at a 15.6-inch IPS LCD screen with a Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution alongside a 60Hz refresh rate and a tall 16:10 aspect ratio.
The stars of the show here are the 13th Gen Intel Core i5-1335U and Core i7-1355U processors. Accompanying the CPUs is Intel’s Iris Xe integrated graphics on the standard versions. While you also get an RTX 2050 model for some gaming and graphics tasks. The memory options include 8GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. Plus you can opt for a 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD for the RTX version.
Ports and Connectivity
Coming to the port options, you get one USB Type-C, one HDMI 2.1, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, and one 3.5mm headphone jack here. And in terms of wireless connectivity, the Aspire 5 2023 supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1.
The standard model gets a 40Wh Li-Ion battery while the RTX variant goes for a bigger 50Wh cell. Other features of this laptop include a backlit keyboard with Numpad, a 720p webcam, a Kensington lock slot, and dual stereo speakers.
Acer Aspire 5 15 2023 Specifications:

Instagram is one of those apps where you can share literally anything (as long as it does not violate the guidelines, ofc). I mean snap a picture, record a video, and boom share it with the world. But have you ever noticed how some posts seem to get way more attention than others? Maybe it’s because they’re genuinely great, or maybe it’s because they’ve got a little extra boost behind them. In this article, we’re diving into the topic of “How to know if an Instagram video is boosted”.
Why Boost Instagram Videos?
There are plenty of reasons why people or businesses might want to boost their videos. It could be to increase reach and visibility, get more likes and comments, or simply to target specific groups. Instagram’s paid promotions let users reach their ideal audience by narrowing down who sees the video based on demographics, interests, behaviors, and locations.
Boosted Videos
So, how can you tell if a video has been boosted? Well, it’s pretty simple. If you see the word “Sponsored” on a video in your feed then the video is boosted. It’s Instagram’s way of saying someone’s paying to get this in front of you. Not just that there are other tags like “Download/Install Now” for apps, “Book Now” for some services, “Sign Up” for registration and more.
Another clue is the view count. Have you ever scrolled through and come across a video that seems low quality but has a lot of views? That is probably because the video is boosted. The number of views may be high, but the engagement (likes, comments, shares) is often low. Why? Because the views are coming from people who weren’t necessarily interested in the content but were just targeted to see it through paid promotions.
Hey, wait! There’s another trick for this. Boosting isn’t always about paid promotions directly on Instagram. A lot of times, influencers or celebrities partner with brands to give their videos a major visibility boost. These collaborations can even skyrocket views.
We’re seeing more and more influencers teaming up with brands to promote products or services. Even if the product is shitty, you will still see influencers giving a good opinion for the attention. While these collaborations don’t technically “boost” the video in the Instagram sense, businesses still use this strategy to increase the influencer’s audience and drive attention to their videos. A win-win situation for them(and for us as well, if we are watching quality content).
Wrapping it up
Remember, just because a video has a big number of views, doesn’t always mean it’s truly engaging or authentic. So, next time you’re scrolling through your feed, keep an eye out for those sponsored tags, and remember sometimes a little extra cash can go a long way in getting your video the attention it deserves!
It hasn’t been long since OnePlus launched the OnePlus 13, and we are already hearing rumors about its younger sibling; the Mini. Let’s dive into the leaked specifications and details of the OnePlus 13 Mini.
OnePlus 13 Mini Overview
The OnePlus 13 Mini is expected to carry similar features to the rumored Oppo Find X8 Mini with a similar design and chipset.
Design and Display
The OnePlus 13 Mini is expected to feature a 6.3-inch OLED display that supports LTPO technology. Moreover, it will offer a 1.5K resolution and narrow bezels on all sides. The phone will also carry an optical in-screen fingerprint sensor.
Performance
Under the hood, the OnePlus 13 Mini will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite, built on a 3nm process. It will feature Oryon prime and performance cores, providing a 45% boost in CPU performance and a 44% increase in efficiency over the SD Gen 3.
On the GPU side, the Adreno 830 delivers up to 40% better performance. The phone will also support wireless charging. It will likely feature a smaller 5200mAh Silicon Carbide cell unlike the large 6000 mAh battery of its big brother.
In terms of optics, the OnePlus 13 Mini is rumored to come with a triple-camera setup. This includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. On the front, we might get a 32MP camera.

Editor’s note: We have updated our review of the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G after re-testing its global variant that launched in Nepal. It has a slightly different camera setup and a slightly different battery compared to the Indian/Chinese unit. And in the context of Nepal’s smartphone market, we found it to be an excellent value.
So this is Xiaomi’s new Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G that I have in for review today, which launched alongside the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G (review), Redmi Note 14 5G, and Redmi Note 14 4G (review) last week. It’s a bit more expensive than last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G (review) but considering all the upgrades you’re getting, I think this thing makes for a fantastic upgrade. Let me tell you what I mean.
Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G review: Specifications
Design and Build: 162.33 x 74.42 x 8.4 mm, 190 gm, IP68 rating
Gorilla Glass Victus 2 front, plastic frames, plastic/PU leather back
IP68 dust/water resistant
And as always, I wanna start my review with the things I’ve liked about the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G. And the one thing that immediately stood out to me the moment I held it in my hands was the design itself. I know its curved aesthetics is a complete 180 from that bold, flat design we saw on the Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G but I don’t mind this. I don’t mind this at all.
The Note 14 Pro 5G feels so damn comfortable to hold and come on Xiaomi… I think you know you’re cheating with this purplish… lavenderish finish ‘cause it’s one of my favorite colors. So no way was I gonna hate how it looks. Even this redesigned camera cutout complements the overall vibe so well so yeah… the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is visually stunning.
A truly “A+” stuff from Xiaomi.
It also feels great in hand, like I just said. Not only because of the curved sides but because of the vegan leather back that Xiaomi went with this time as well. Although I should tell you that its “Titan Black” color option has a plastic back unlike the other two.
IP68 rating
The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G even bags all kinds of IP rating now. Including IP66, IP68, and IP69. Which means it can survive everything from high-pressure water jets to high-temperature water jets. And it can also survive being completely submerged in water of course. Then again, since Xiaomi Nepal brought the global variant of this guy, the one available in Nepal only has an IP68 rating. Not really a dealbreaker but that’s something you need to keep in mind.
So the only little blemish to the Note 14 Pro 5G’s otherwise fantastic design is that it no longer has a headphone jack. I guess complaining about the lack of a headphone jack on a phone these days is like screaming into the void but I thought I should point it out anyway.
Display
6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel
120Hz refresh rate, 3,000 nits peak brightness
Like the design, the display on the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is fantastic too.
I mean… you could actually mistake it for a proper flagship screen if I just read you some of its specs. Ready? So this is a 12-bit screen with 100% DCI-P3 colors, a 120Hz refresh rate, 3,000 nits of peak brightness, a 1,920Hz PWM dimming, and both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision certification. Also, take a look at those tiny bezels man!
Still not convinced? What if I told you this display is protected by Corning’s second-gen Victus glass as well? Yeah, the same Victus glass that you’ll usually only find on flagship phones that cost three to four times as much.
All this is to say that I absolutely love the Note 14 Pro 5G’s display. For everything.
Whether that’s just scrolling through my Facebook feed, streaming all my Netflix favorites, catching up on my messages out on a bright sunny day, or some late-night gaming sessions while I’m wrapped under a warm blanket in this cold weather. It’s a big, bright, fast, smooth, and responsive screen — and that’s pretty much all I’m looking for really.
A flagship display in all but name
Yes, it misses out on an LTPO panel for that ultimate flagship punch, but you know what? That’s fine by me. And I also wanna give a quick shoutout to the speakers on this thing ‘cause the Note 14 Pro 5G’s speakers are some of the best I’ve seen (or heard) on a midrange phone. It gets plenty loud, it sounds quite full, and I love how none of this comes at the expense of clarity or details either.
Its haptic feedback is much better too. Xiaomi has used an X-axis linear motor here instead of a buzzy z-axis one on the Note 13 Pro 4G, so that upgrade to sharp, strong feedback is quite something.
Battery
5,110 mAh battery (45W wired charging)
45W adapter in the box
Anyway, the battery life is another thing I love about the Note 14 Pro 5G.
Xiaomi went with a silicon-carbon battery for both the Note 14 Pro 5G and the Pro+ in the Indian/Chinese model this year, although the global one has the same ol’ lithium-ion battery. Anyway, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G brings a big 5,110 mAh battery to be precise, and I’ve been easily getting 7 – 8 hours of screen time here. Even under a fairly heavy usage pattern.
I would have loved to show you those stats from the settings itself but… Xiaomi has made this simple thing so needlessly complicated that it no longer shows screen time data. And I gotta use some third-party apps like “AccuBattery” to get those numbers.
The charging speed has also gotten slower for some reason. Down from 67W to 45W, but it still gets me 60% battery in half an hour — or 100% in an hour — so that’s not a big deal.
Performance
MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra (4nm)
8/12GB RAM, 256/512GB storage (non-expandable)
Android 14 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 1.0 on top
3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates
Okay.
So far, I’ve talked about its design that I love, its display that I love, and its battery life that I love as well. All the good stuff basically. And that continues on as I discuss its performance. ‘Cause the Dimensity 7300-Ultra is a fantastic upgrade over the Note 13 Pro 4G’s Helio G99-Ultra. Whether that’s in the CPU or in the GPU department.

Benchmarks
Gaming test
Temperatures
And as you’d expect, I found that the Note 14 Pro 5G is also the much better gaming phone of the two. In literally all the games I tried. In terms of both the fps it can push and the temperature it hits.
But the software side of things isn’t too embarrassing here, right? …right?
New phone, same old mistakes
You see, Xiaomi has somehow managed to repeat the same mistake as last year by launching next-gen hardware with last-gen software. So instead of the new Android 15-based HyperOS 2.0, the Note 14 Pro 5G runs on Android 14-based HyperOS 1.0. There are 3+4 years of updates to its name and I’m not saying HyperOS 1.0 is unusable or anything… but wasn’t “HyperOS” supposed to take away all of our complaints with Xiaomi’s software game?
What happened to that?
And Xiaomi is trying to compensate — or maybe distract — us from this with a couple of AI features that honestly feel pretty basic at this point.
Like “Circle to Search” which used to be exclusive to Samsung phones, on top of a couple of AI-based image editing features. So by now, I’m just looking forward to the HyperOS 2 update for this guy which actually has a bunch of cool and useful AI features. On top of a couple some new customization options.

The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G’s cameras are… pretty great though. It’s actually using the same 200MP HP3 sensor as the one on the Note 13 Pro 4G, but there’s such a night and day difference in their optimization. That upgraded image signal processor (ISP) on the Dimensity 7300-Ultra is really working its magic it seems.

As expected, photos from both of them have that classic “Redmi” aesthetics with slightly punchy colors.

I don’t know why but the Note 13 Pro just tends to lift the exposure across the entire frame for some reason. Both from the main and the ultrawide lens, making everything look flat and unnatural.

You should know that the new guy struggles to process shadows in particularly challenging conditions, so I hope this is something Xiaomi can patch with a couple of software updates.

Oh and by the way, this thing also has an option for a more close-up portrait for better subject focus. But since all it’s doing is cropping on the main sensor, those portraits don’t have a lot of details.
Videography
Plus, although the Note 14 Pro 5G is technically the superior one when it comes to videos, I can’t say I’m all that impressed. Yeah… it can record at up to 4K 30 fps now (something that’s not possible on its predecessor) but the videos have such a noticeable movement jitter. It’s the same with its 1080p ultrawide and selfie videos so yeah… quite mediocre cameras for videos.
Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G review: Conclusion
Alright, so I better wrap up my review of the new Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G now. And as you’ve probably already guessed, there’s just so much to love about it. Everything from its design, display, performance, and battery, to even the cameras are top notch for the price.
I really, really, really wished Xiaomi had managed to ship it with the latest software — aka HyperOS 2.0 — but other than that, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is a terrific phone for some 40,000 rupees in Nepal. Matter of fact, I don’t even think there’s any other phone remotely as balanced as this thing right now.
The Redmi Note 14 Series was unveiled just a week ago in Nepal. And I’m here with a review of the vanilla siblings of the lineup: Redmi Note 14 4G and Redmi Note 13 5G. Priced competitively for the already competitive scene, both are good offerings for a mid-range budget. And here in this Redmi Note 14 review, I’ll share everything I have witnessed to help you pick the best as per your budget.
Before heading to the main review, let’s have a quick specs of the Redmi Note 14, both 4G and 5G.
Unboxing both of these guys, the experience is the same. You get a SIM ejector, Clear Case, phone itself and some paper manuals. And yeah, a compatible charging brick as well, 33W on the 4G and 45W on the 5G one.
Design
1 of 2
Note 14 5G (Left), Note 14 4G (Right)
Note 14 5G (Left), Note 14 4G (Right)
Talking of the hands-on feel, the 4G variant bears a flat-frame design while the 5G version has a slightly curved edge on the back. I personally, liked the Note 14 4G feel albeit it’s a bit heavier due to the 5500mAh battery but either way, it’s a matter of personal preference. Both are well-built phones, I must say. And one common thing among the siblings is that both share a plastic back. Which is fine but a glass back would have been more appealing, right?
In terms of ingress protection, the Note 14 5G sports a better rating– IP64 as compared to the basic IP54 rating of the 4G version. But still, the splash resistance stays at “4” on both, and only the dust resistance improves on the 5G sibling. Likewise, both phones have a 3.5mm headphone jack for audiophiles and an IR blaster, which have been a very useful feature for Redmi phones over so many years.
Display
Moving to the displays, there is no day and night difference. Both phones feature a 6.67-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. In daily usage and media playback, there’s barely any difference to be honest. However, the Note 14 5G has a higher peak brightness (2100 nits vs. 1800 nits), making HDR content slightly more vivid. Both displays are protected by Gorilla Glass 5, an upgrade from the Gorilla Glass 3 on the Note 13 series. To conclude, both panels are very decent ones for the price.
Moreover, Redmi does deserve praise for the fast 120Hz refresh rate especially for the Note 14 4G, as other brands only provide 90Hz refresh rate at that price point. And there is no compromise on the speaker’s side too. You get a Dolby Atmos-powered dual-speaker setup on both siblings. The 5G version boasts a slightly louder output.
Performance
The Note 14 5G is powered by the new Dimensity 7025 Ultra chipset, while the 4G version uses the Helio G99 Ultra processor. In gaming tests, both performed similarly. In PUBG, both siblings can play PUBG at stable 39-40fps while Mobile Legends is playable at a smooth 60fps. Actually, I did anticipate the new chipset to perform better, for obvious reasons. But maybe, the Helio G99 has been here for some years now, and that’s why apps and games have gotten optimized for this thing!
While performing daily-life tasks such as multitasking and UI performance, the 5G sibling feels a bit more smoother. I found the 4G version to be a bit laggy while performing demanding tasks.
Both phones run on Android 14 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS. Disappointingly, they didn’t launch with Android 15. Xiaomi promises two years of OS updates for both devices. So, you’ll get an update until Android 16. Speaking of the HyperOS, it comes with a lot of pre-installed apps (bloatware), but most of them can be uninstalled, thankfully. But the ads are still here on some apps, devoiding you of a clean software experience!
Camera
Both phones have a 108MP primary camera, but the 5G version includes OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).
Daylight
In good lighting, both phones deliver similar results, but in challenging scenarios, the 5G version performs better dynamic range.

The 5G model has an 8MP ultra-wide camera, which is missing on the 4G version. But the samples are nothing extraordinary, so it’s not a bummer for the absence on the Note 14 4G.

Videos
For video, the 5G model supports 1080p at 30fps with gyro-EIS, producing stable footage. The 4G model supports 1080p at 60fps but lacks stabilization, resulting in shaky videos.
Battery and Charging
The 4G version has a larger battery, offering about an hour more backup compared to the 5G model. The 5G version charges faster, taking about 1 hour and 2 minutes with its 45W charger, while the 4G version takes 1 hour and 20 minutes with its 33W charger.
Conclusion
So, let’s get to the conclusion. If your budget is tight and you need a phone with good battery life, a decent display, and acceptable performance, the Redmi Note 14 4G at NPR 25,000 is a great option. However, if you can stretch your budget a little, the Redmi Note 14 5G at NPR 31,000 offers better value with improved display brightness, IP rating, cameras, charging speed, and 5G support. Either way, both phones are providing the usual Good Redmi Note value without any doubt.
So in this review, I’ll be talking about three of the best wireless earbuds you could find in 2025. Which includes Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 (review), the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro from Samsung, and Huawei’s new FreeBuds Pro 4.
All three of them promise the best audio, the best noise cancellation, and just… the best wireless earbuds experience in general. You get the idea. And to figure out which is actually the best of the lot, I’ve been using them side by side by side for a little over a week now. I have so much to discuss so let’s get started right away.

Oh, and I’ll also be assigning points across different categories by the way, so that you have a clear idea of how they compare in terms of everything.
The best wireless earbuds of 2025:
With all that sorted out, I wanna kick things off with their design. And there really isn’t much to talk about here I guess since pretty much all of them look the same. They all have the classic stem design but with a few tweaks here and there so that they don’t literally look like the AirPods.
Design and build
Yes, you heard me right. Even Samsung gave in to the AirPods aesthetics this time. That’s honestly kinda sad considering how every other pair of Galaxy Buds that came before used to have their own distinct design instead of something that feels like a copy of the competition.
But what’s done is done.
Left: Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 | Center: AirPods Pro 2 | Right: Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
The Buds 3 Pro may look a lot like the AirPods Pro but as I said before, Samsung has done just enough to stand out. So as you can see, its stem is more angular versus the AirPods, there’s this neat little blue-and-orange accent to tell the left earbud from the right, while Samsung also added these LED lights for some reason.
I know I know… that thing is mostly pointless, although I can definitely see it being useful in case I ever have to use the “Find My Earbuds” feature in the dark ‘cause of the light.
A lot of similarities
Okay, unlike the Buds 3 Pro, I kinda dig how Huawei didn’t try anything fancy with the FreeBuds Pro’s design. The gold accent around its flat stem is a nice touch though and I also absolutely love how Huawei ships both silicone and foam ear tips in the box. It’s always an “either this or that” with literally every other pair of earbuds I’ve seen so this was a nice surprise.
But I suppose it’s only fair that all of them share a point in this round since — at the end of the day — the AirPods Pro 2, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, and the FreeBuds Pro 4 all have their own little design perks no matter how similar they look. Or how comfortable they feel when I have them in my ears.
‘Cause besides everything I just talked about, the AirPods Pro also has a more versatile charging case with its built-in lanyard loop and a speaker so that you can find it more easily. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro brings the best water resistance out of the bunch with its IP57 rating, whereas the FreeBuds Pro’s classy design is simply unmatched.

Controls
And since they all have the same design, the way you control these earbuds is the same as well. Using press or pinch gesture… whatever you wanna call them. I’m pretty used to this on the AirPods Pro since that’s been my daily driver for all this time so yeah, I didn’t have any issues there. I can change playback, switch between noise cancellation modes, and even adjust volume right from the buds on all three of them, which is just fantastic.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
But personally, I found the Buds 3 Pro’s controls to be a lot more finicky than I was expecting. Mostly because its triangular stem requires a bit more effort to actually press the thing — and when I do so — I can also feel the buds themselves slightly dislodge in my ears.
I don’t have this problem with both AirPods Pro and FreeBuds Pro by the way, and I think Samsung knew this was gonna happen.
Which probably explains why the Buds 3 Pro has a voice command option too. I must say it works pretty flawlessly, although I wouldn’t be caught dead saying stuff like “stop music” to my earbuds in public. Ever. Instead, I love how Huawei was once again super smart with its “why not both?” strategy ‘cause — on top of the pinch gestures — I can even tap it to control music playback, and answer calls and stuff.

Call quality
That reminds me, the FreeBuds Pro 4 has the best call quality I’ve ever heard from a pair of wireless earbuds as well. It’s… quite unbelievable. I tested it in a quiet room, on a busy street, and even with the wind brushing against my face but somehow my voice came off crystal clear in almost every single one of those situations.
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4
Huawei says this thing can block out up to 100 dB of noise during phone calls and that might just be true. The second-gen AirPods Pro and the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, on the other hand, try their best to cut out the background noise in challenging conditions but it seems they’re simply no match against the FreeBuds Pro. Especially the AirPods Pro.

Noise cancellation
Alright. So what about regular noise cancellation then?
Well… seeing how the FreeBuds Pro was so damn impressive at getting rid of the background noise during phone calls, I naturally had high hopes with its regular noise cancellation too. Mostly since I could also pair it with foam ear tips for a better seal, which ultimately means better ANC.
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4
But after going back and forth between them, trying to figure out which one gets rid of ambient noise the best, I’m gonna give it to the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.
Don’t get me wrong, they all get rid of those persistent low-frequency noises between the 50 – 1,000 Hz range like the one coming out of your air conditioner, passing traffic, and airplane engines just fine. And it’s not like the Buds 3 Pro’s noise cancellation is that far ahead either but I found it to be doing a particularly good job against human voices.
Left: AirPods Pro 2 | Center: Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 | Right: Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
It almost feels like Samsung has consciously tuned these earbuds to cancel out the voices more aggressively ‘cause I can actually feel that transition in ANC level every time it detects human voices. The AirPods Pro’s noise cancellation is also some of the best I’ve seen on a pair of wireless earbuds, while I feel like the FreeBuds Pros let in just a bit more noise than I’d like.
How’s the transparency mode?
And I’m honestly a little shocked to find out how good the transparency mode on the Buds 3 Pro has gotten as well. Much better than what I was used to on older Galaxy Buds.
AirPods Pro 2
Apple is still the best at making me feel as if I don’t even have the earbuds on me with its excellent, natural-sounding transparency mode, whereas everything sounds somewhat damp and occluded on the FreeBuds Pro. I guess it’s perfectly good enough to quickly get a sense of what’s going around you without having to take out the earbuds but yeah, the AirPods Pro remains the king of transparency mode even after all these years.

Sound
Okay.
I wanna get into the main event now and talk about their audio quality. And just looking at their specs, you may think that the AirPods Pro is at a massive disadvantage ‘cause:
number 1, it doesn’t have two separate drivers to handle low frequencies (aka bass) and high frequencies (aka trebles) like the other guys.
And number 2, it doesn’t support high-res Bluetooth codecs for lossless or near-lossless playback either.
Well, technically speaking the AirPods Pro can do lossless audio if you pair it with a little something called “Vision Pro”, but I see the point. Although I wanna remind you guys that simply having more drivers or high-res codecs is never gonna guarantee great audio. It all comes down to how well-tuned they are.
And all three of them sound so good — and they have such a unique character of their own — that it ultimately depends on your listening taste to determine a clear winner here. And if you’re someone who listens to a lot of pop, EDM, hip-hop, or any other genre of music with a big emphasis on bass, then I’m sure you’re gonna love the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Oh yeah.
Lows
‘Cause this thing clearly has the most noticeable bass response out of the bunch. And I won’t describe its bass response as “muddy” or “bloated” either since I found that the extended bass on the Buds 3 Pro really adds a lot of energy to the track.
Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
Like in The Weeknd’s “Out of Time”, for example. This is such a well-mixed song with a lot of diverse elements like that smoo…th, groovy bassline, the warm synth, flute, and all the other percussive beats on top of the vocals itself. And all of them are so nicely layered on the Buds 3 Pro — while still highlighting the bass — that listening to the same song on the AirPods Pro or the FreeBuds Pro is no fun at all.
The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro preserves a wide soundstage and I also noticed that Samsung has boosted the high frequencies by a bit here. But I have to say it cannot reproduce the subtle details in the treble region that well, like how those percussive beats on that Weeknd track I mentioned before don’t have proper detail or presence to them.
Mids
Whereas the second-gen AirPods Pro is still my go-to answer whenever someone asks me to name a pair of earbuds with a clean and balanced sound. And one with particularly faithful mids. What all this means is that Apple’s premium wireless earbuds work well with basically any kind of music you listen to. Especially in tracks with a lot of string instruments and vocals.
Trebles
But what it doesn’t have is the punchy bass attack like the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro or the FreeBuds Pro’s bright, sparkly treble. Now you might already know that I’m quite a fan of the extended treble response so yes, I’ve absolutely loved listening to this guy. Not just because of its bright sound in general, but also because it has equally impressive dynamic range, good separation, and a decent bit of “oomph”.
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4
And one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, “The Chain”, is probably the best example to showcase what these Huawei earbuds are capable of.
There are a lot of percussive pieces throughout the song, including snare drum, hi-hats, and cymbal crashes, all leading to a powerful climax that is reproduced so incredibly well on the FreeBuds Pro. The AirPods Pro tries its best to preserve all those finer details while the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro almost completely gives up near the end here.
Thankfully, I can create my own equalizer on the Galaxy buds to bring out more detail in the treble region. And I can also create a custom eq on the Huawei buds for better bass response as well. There’s no such thing with the AirPods — and if you care about high-res music — then you’re better off with the other two.
Is high-res music even worth it?
So the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro has Samsung’s own high-res codec called “SSC” that only works on Samsung phones. Whereas the FreeBuds Pro has “L2HC 4.0” codec with an even higher bitrate that only works with Huawei phones. The good news is that the FreeBuds Pro even brings LDAC codec for better audio, which is available on literally all Android phones.
So yes… I’m really, really loving that “why not both?” approach with these earbuds.
But I gotta say as someone who listens to a lot of music, someone who clocked in over 100,000 minutes of listening time on Spotify last year, I can’t seem to care about lossless audio at all.
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4
I downloaded a bunch of high-res music and compared them with their Spotify version, and I couldn’t notice the difference in most of the tracks. On both the Buds 3 Pro and the FreeBuds Pro. Maybe someone with better-trained ears will appreciate this a lot more than me but yeah, this is such a niche feature that the vast majority of people won’t even care about it.

Battery
Finally, it’s time to talk about battery life.
And I’ll just say right away that neither of these has that impressive battery backup. Not for a pair of flagship earbuds at least. They all lasted me around 5 hours on average — and their case also holds a similar amount charge — so there ya’ go. There isn’t really a winner or a loser when it comes to battery life among these three.

The best wireless earbuds of 2025: Final words
Alright. I better wrap it all up now. And taking a final look at the scoreboard, we can see that it was a super tight race between all of them. With the FreeBuds Pro 4 managing to stand out by the thinnest of margins.

Which means no matter which pair of earbuds you go with, I’m sure you’re gonna have a blast. They all have great audio, great noise cancellation, and everything.
Left: AirPods Pro 2 | Center: Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 | Right: Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
But of course, if you have an iPhone or a Samsung phone, going with the second-gen AirPods Pro or the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro still makes the most sense. ‘Cause of a…ll the ecosystem benefits you get as a bonus. The FreeBuds Pro 4 also has a couple of Huawei-exclusive features, although I love how it’s designed in such a way that you won’t miss out on a whole lot even if you don’t pair it with a Huawei phone.
So unless you really want all the ecosystem stuff, I think the FreeBuds Pro 4 is the most standout pair of flagship earbuds out here. I know it doesn’t have the best noise cancellation but other than that, it impressed me the most in two areas that matter the most: audio and microphone quality.
So this is the new Xiaomi Pad 7 (review) and this is Apple’s latest M2 iPad Air (2024). This one should cost somewhere around NPR 40,000 when it launches later this year in Nepal, while the iPad Air fetches almost thrice as much. And if you were wondering why I’m comparing these two in the first place then well… the answer is pretty simple.
‘Cause after getting to know it for over a week now, I found the Xiaomi Pad 7 to be such a fine midrange tablet that… it had me wondering if expensive tablets are even worth it to most folks. Of course, the iPad Air absolutely smokes this guy in terms of performance — both CPU and GPU-wise — but do you even need that much power?
Or are you better off with something much more affordable like the Xiaomi Pad 7 instead? I’ve got just the answer to that question so settle in, get comfortable as I try to explain everything I’ve discovered after using these two side by side for all this time.
Okay. So in the world of smartphones, “something cheap” usually translates to “something that’s not built well”, right? But what if I told you that even though the Xiaomi Pad 7 costs less than half as much, it doesn’t compromise on the build quality at all?
It has the same premium all-metal design as the M2 iPad Air and handling them feels pretty much the same actually. The Xiaomi Pad 7 is a bit heavier but Xiaomi has done such a nice job with weight distribution that it doesn’t really feel that way when I’m holding them side by side.
They’re both available in a bunch of fun color options as well. So yeah, this is a surprisingly even battle if you ask me. Yes, there are a couple of things the iPad Air does better but whether or not those turn out to be useful is entirely up to you.
USB 3.2 Gen 1 (10 Gbps vs 5 Gbps)
So the first thing is that the M2 iPad Air is literally twice as fast at copying files from an external drive. 10 Gbps vs 5 Gbps. I tried copying a couple of files from my Samsung T9 SSD and… yep. That checks out.
Xiaomi Pad 7
M2 iPad Air
3.9GB file transfer
10.62 seconds
5.55 seconds
The iPad Air was twice as fast no matter how many times I ran the test. It also has Touch ID for security, unlike the Xiaomi Pad 7 which doesn’t have any biometric option. And the other thing is that the iPad Air has quite a useful feature for video calls too, called “Center Stage”. I’m sure most of you already know what I’m talking but in case you don’t, basically what it does is try and keep you in the frame even as you move around a little.
Such a nice little trick to keep you engaged during video chats but the Xiaomi Pad 7 unfortunately can’t do this. What’s weirder is that last year’s Xiaomi Pad 6 (review) actually had a similar feature called “Focus Frame” so… I can’t understand Xiaomi’s logic behind this at all.
Display
You know what?
I also can’t understand Apple’s logic in terms of the display ‘cause how does this thing still have a 60 Hz refresh rate? And why is Apple still making me complain about this in 2024?
Which means the Xiaomi Pad 7 has an incredibly noticeable advantage when I’m using it on a day-to-day basis. Especially when I’m scrolling through any website or the UI itself. To be fair, Xiaomi is also overpromising things a bit by marketing it as a 144 Hz display. Since it only hits 144 Hz on Chrome as far as I can tell. But I’d take this smooth 120 Hz display over iPad Air’s 60 Hz one any day of the week.
A couple of good-looking displays
Other than this, both of ‘em have an IPS panel with a similar 3:2 aspect ratio that is pretty fantastic to look at. Apple sure did spoil me with that fancy “tandem OLED” display on the new iPad Pro, but for a couple of good ol’ IPS screens, I gotta say these two are quite nice.
Left: Xiaomi Pad 7 | Right: M2 iPad Air
And like the design, the iPad Air once again has the upper hand against the Xiaomi Pad 7 in a couple of… small ways. Although they could be significant enough if you’re a digital artist. So number one, the iPad’s display is fully laminated which… my designer buddies say helps a lot with a more natural feel when using an Apple Pencil.
The iPad Air’s stylus experience should also be much better than the Xiaomi Pad 7, by the way. It’s not like Xiaomi’s stylus sucks or anything but if you’re a digital artist by profession and you know what you’re doing, the “iPad + Apple Pencil” combo is pretty much the most obvious choice for everyone.
Anyway — unlike the Xiaomi Pad 7 — the iPad Air also has an anti-reflective coating by default. This guy does have an optional “nano-texture” upgrade that can cut both screen reflections and light glares but is it just me or having to pay extra for something instead of having it built-in doesn’t feel too good at all?
They both are great for watching movies.
Alright.
So while the iPad Air has some clear advantages from that artistic point of view, the Xiaomi Pad 7 is the clear winner when it comes to media consumption. They both have HDR 10 and Dolby Vision certification to play crisp, HDR videos anywhere you’d want — be it on Netflix, on YouTube, or even your local HDR files — but I enjoyed them more on the Xiaomi Pad 7 because of one simple reason:
it has higher peak brightness than the iPad Air. 800 nits vs 500 nits.
Which is why that actual HDR experience with brighter highlights and darker shadows looks so damn better on the Xiaomi Pad 7. And oh yeah, its speakers are also better than the ones on the iPad Air. It does come off somewhat distorted at max volume but it sounds much louder, fuller, and richer in comparison so there you go.
Battery
I’m sad to say this but the iPad Air tasted a defeat in my battery test as well.
‘Cause when I streamed a YouTube video for an hour and attended a Zoom call for a little less than an hour on both of them, the iPad Air ended up losing 16% battery. Versus 12% on the Xiaomi Pad 7. Don’t get me wrong, these two will comfortably last you a couple of days at the minimum but the thing is, the Xiaomi Pad 7 hangs in there just a bit longer.
And it also fills up faster. With its included 45W adapter taking the tablet from 1 to 100% in an hour and a half while the iPad Air’s 20W charger almost twice the time to finish the job.
Performance
Okay, up until this point, it has all been “Xiaomi Pad this…” and “Xiaomi Pad that…” I know, but as far as performance is concerned, the M2 iPad Air is simply wayyyyyy too ahead. And in every single test I ran, from all the synthetic benchmarks to some video editing and even a simple app opening and multitasking test, the iPad Air pulled ahead by a comfortable margin.

Benchmarks
Video export test
I don’t think any of this comes as a surprise to anyone though. ‘Cause like I said in the very beginning, these two are in a completely different league in terms of performance. The iPad Air also games better, it should also age better over the years, and iPadOS also has a better selection of a few incredible creator apps that you’re not gonna find on Android. Like Davinci Resolve, Procreate, and Final Cut Pro.
But the million-dollar question here is “do you even need all that power on a tablet?”
And for most people, the answer’s gonna be a simple no. No, you don’t need the absurdly powerful M2 chip on a tablet, especially when iPadOS itself doesn’t let you make the most out of all those creative apps.
Whereas I found the Xiaomi Pad 7’s performance to be perfectly fine, perfectly smooth for everything I do. Including browsing the web, playing games, streaming my favorite movies, and so on.
What about software?
Its Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip can also handle multitasking pretty well actually. I guess it sounds a little hard to believe but Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 also has better multitasking features compared to iPadOS 18.
Both of them have the usual stuff like floating window and split view mode, right? While on the Xiaomi Pad 7, I can even save my favorite app pairs — like YouTube and Notes, for example — to launch with just one click. Instead of how I need to manually open both of them every. single. time. on the iPad. And I’m sure you already know this by now but Apple has also been playing catch-up with the rest of the industry when it comes to AI.
Apple has promised a lo…t of stuff but right now, most of what it can do is just summarize emails, web pages, recordings, and help with your writing. On the other hand, the Xiaomi Pad 7 can also turn your sketches into images and it also has that “Dynamic Wallpaper” thing I talked about in my unboxing video. So yeah, there’s definitely a lot to love about the Xiaomi Pad 7’s performance even though it might not match the M2 iPad Air in raw performance.
Xiaomi Pad 7 vs M2 iPad Air review: Conclusion
Alright, let me wrap things up now.
And to answer whether expensive tablets are worth it over some fantastic midrange options like the Xiaomi Pad 7, I’ll have to respectfully say no. Not if all you ever intend to do on it is basic tablet stuff.
The M2 iPad Air obviously has its advantages. Like in terms of performance and the whole “Apple ecosystem” thing that other companies can’t seem to match but yeah. The Android tablet space has gotten so competitive in the last few years that it has become almost impossible to ignore them and just say “get an iPad” and be done with it.
