0

ZTE has been doing a pretty good job with their smartphone lineup. The Axon 7 which was titled as the flagship killer of 2016 is one of the prominent phones from ZTE and will soon be shelved in the Nepali market. With the success of Axon 7, we saw the Axon 7 mini and now the company has decided to go overboard with the newly announced ZTE Axon 7 Max.

Although the phone shares the name with Axon 7, it is not completely up to par in the hardware department, but on the contrary, manages to have some pretty neat features. ZTE Axon 7 Max comes with a 6.0inch 1080p panel which is equipped with a naked 3D display, allowing you to view 3D contents without wearing special glasses. ZTE will also provide paid 3D contents for free with the device.  Apart from the display, the phone is powered by Snapdragon 625 clocked at 2GHz and comes equipped with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage along with the support for Micro SD card up to 200GB.

On the photography side, the phone comes with dual 13MP Camera which is for better depth of field in the photos. The camera also comes with laser autofocus for faster focus and dual tone LED flash. Up front, the phone sports an 8MP shooter.

Audio has been a premier focus in the Axon 7 series, and with the Axon 7 Max, they continue to do so with the inclusion of dual Hi-Fi AK4962 audio chips. This is set to improve the audio quality over headphones and loudspeakers.

Axon 7 Max

On the software side of things, the Axon 7 Max is running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Mi Favor 4.0 UI on top. The phone comes with profuse battery size of 4,100mAh along with Quick Charge 3.0.

Samsung J1 2016 Review: Does this galaxy explode?

The Chinese smartphones have taken over Samsung’s budget lineup over the past couple of years as the company is struggling to offer better-specced budget phones when compared to its Chinese counterpart. The recently launched Galaxy J1 2016, the successor to last year’s Galaxy J1, offers meaningful updates like bigger sharp AMOLED display, quad-core processor, and 1GB of RAM — all for an asking price of Rs. 11,300. Can the J1 2016 stand out against the competition in providing the best experience in the budget category? Let’s find out.

Design:

The Galaxy J1 2016 is reminiscent of the previous Samsung phones as it’s entirely made up of plastic with a faux metal frame. The back is removable giving users access to the replaceable battery, microSD card slot, and 2 SIM card slot. Despite featuring a plastic back, the phone is not cheap by any means and feels sturdier in the hands.

img_1674

The size of the device is compact and ergonomic as it sports a 4.5-inch display and thus the one hand operation is an advantage. It weighs at 131gms and measures 8.9mm in thickness. The power button is on the right while the volume rocker is on the left. The front houses a 2MP front camera, earpiece and proximity sensor. The phone lacks an ambient light sensor like with all the Samsung J-series of smartphones, hence the brightness level have to be adjusted manually.

img_1695

The back houses a 5MP camera with LED flash, loud speaker, and Samsung’s traditional Home button, which feels marvelous and responsive and hence gives nice feedback. At the bottom, there is a microUSB port and the primary mic (no secondary noise cancellation mic). The 3.5mm headphone jack sits on the top. Overall, the Galaxy J1 2016 punches well above its weight when it comes to design and build.

img_1716

Display:

The Galaxy J1 2016 has a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels netting a total pixel density of 207ppi. You could easily get smartphones under Rs. 12,000 with HD IPS LCD display, but the J1 2016  has a Super AMOLED display that offers excellent contrast and oversaturated colors.

img_1703

The brightness is also stellar for the price tag with great outdoor visibility. Although it lacks display protection, but using the phone for 2 weeks I didn’t have any scratch without any tempered glass.

Software UI:

The Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 still boots on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with Touch Wiz UI which means you will miss out on few Marshmallow features like Doze and Now On Tap. Over the years, the UI on Samsung phones has become bloat free and optimized, and the J1 2016 is no exception.

img_1768

It comes with some preinstalled apps like Google’s mandatory apps, Operamax data saving app, and Ultra power saving mode. The Sbike Mode that was embedded in the J3 2016 and J5/J7 series is not included on this model.

Performance:

The Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 is powered by a Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 processor (Spreadtrum SC9830) and 1GB of RAM. The phone doesn’t lag at all while performing basic tasks like navigating through UI, browsing, and using Facebook. However, like with all the budget phones, the J1 suffers while multitasking and playing games — all because of iffy underperforming Cortex A7 32bit processor and 1GB of RAM.

img_1757

It’s a real shame that Samsung didn’t include 2GB of RAM which would have made the phone perform substantially better. There are many phones with 2GB of RAM for the money Samsung is asking for the Galaxy J1 2016. The phone comes with just 8GB of ROM and after installing few apps you will soon realize that you will require a microSD card to expand your storage.

Camera:

The 5MP rear camera on the J1 2016 is mediocre, but having said that, the J1 2016 flairs well well compared to the competition. It is far better than what you get at this price range. During daylight, the photos come out decent at first impression, but there is nothing to write home about. The color reproduction is inaccurate and the photos lack in details while you zoom in. Dynamic range is poor considering the price tag and it also lacks HDR mode. The low light photography is below average with lots of noise.

j1-2016-photo-samples

The 2MP front camera is below average even for social media uploads. It would be better of pointing the main snapper and hoping for the best shot.

Connectivity:

The Samsung J1 2016 supports 2 SIM, first slot with 4G and the second slot with 3G. Other connectivity options include 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ with hotspot support, Bluetooth v4.0, an FM radio, and GPS. As expected at this price range, NFC is missing here.

Call quality:

Despite lacking secondary noise cancellation mic, the Samsung Galaxy J1 2016’s call quality was surprisingly good. It’s clear on both the receiver and transmitter end. The loudspeaker is also clear and loud for an entry-level device.

img_1682

Battery:

The Battery is another asset of the Samsung J1 2016. On our test, the phone lasted 2 days on moderate usage with 2 hours of browsing, 1 hour of 3G calling, and 1 hour of youtube. The phone offers 4-5 hours of onscreen time on medium brightness.

img_1769

The battery on the Galaxy J1 2016 is removable which means you can just remove the back cover and replace it. Since the phone lacks quick charge technology, it won’t be a bad investment if buy an extra battery for your needs.

Conclusion:

There’s a lot of things to like about the Samsung J1 2016, but there are equally a lot of things to dislike. What I liked about the phone is its compact form factor, Vivid display with good contrast and oversaturated colors, excellent call quality,  and good battery life.

However, 1GB of RAM and the iffy quad-core processor is disappointing. The front camera is below par too. To be honest, you can get better value from other manufacturers if you are willing to spend 2-3K more, but if you are not, Samsung J1 2016 is a solid choice.

0

Apex Digital, the mobile chain store, had opened its first store in the beginning of this month. They have already extended the showrooms to five different cities and this is not where they stop. The largest store of the chain opens today at Narayangadh.

The store is located at Sahid Chowk, Narayangadh and it is not just a shop to buy a phone. The outlet is designed as an experience store, a place where the customers can touch, feel, use and compare the smartphones of different brands under the same roof. The store has several interactive booths, for experiencing the phones. A lot of stores today are called experience stores but they fail to provide the quality experience and the space generally is not enough for a convenient experience. According to Prakash Subedi, the marketing manager of Apex Digital, “The new store is 1500 square feet in area, which is the largest multi-brand store in Nepal”. It is indeed spacious area for an experience store to ensure flexibility and convenience to the customers.

The currently available brands are Apple, Samsung, Gionee, HTC, ZTE, Xiaomi and Lenovo. Upon buying a phone, the customers will receive a variety of presents. Cash discount up to 50% will be provided to the customers along with a tempered glass and a case, with every purchase.

Microsoft Creators Update: Features Rundown

0

In the Microsoft event today, we got a look at what Microsoft is bringing to the table in its next big update. The update will be called the Microsoft Creators Update and it has got a lot of features that has got us excited. This update will be focused more on Virtual Reality, 3D objects, and seamless interaction so it might bring something new to the computing table.

Paint 3D:

Microsoft Creators Update

Paint is one of the most popular Microsoft application which millions of use for simple doodling or messing around. We’ve been hearing the rumors about the revamped looks of Paint but we didn’t know it’ll support painting and creating 3D objects. In an on-stage demo, a sand castle was scanned with the HP X3 smartphone using Windows Capture 3D app and then the image was ported to Paint for editing and was shared with few people to view on VR. This is incredible as anyone can now work with 3D and VR per se. Paint has become more powerful and besides being able to draw 3D, Microsoft seems to put it as an image editing software which can be a lighter alternative to the likes of Photoshop and Illustrator.

Powerpoint 3D:

Microsoft Creators Update

PowerPoint is an essential tool for business; representing concepts, showing statistics or anything business oriented. Now Microsoft has embedded few 3-D features in the PowerPoint, enabling you to put 3-D objects from Paint or the 3-D clip art library in your presentation and make it position better which you couldn’t do with a 2-D object. This will make presentations more effective by representing concepts and contents in 3-D. Microsoft will be rolling out 3-D features in all of its Office Suite.

Game Broadcasting and Tournaments:

Microsoft Creators Update

Microsoft’s recent acquisition of the game streaming service Beam will be inbuilt in the Microsoft Creators Update. This will allow users to seamlessly broadcast and access gaming sessions and provide interactive tools to communicate with the viewers. For private sessions, it will also allow users to create their own tournaments and all of the users data and scores will be stored in the Xbox Live account. This update will definitely be a delight for gamers.

People in your taskbar(My People):

Microsoft Creators Update

Microsoft Creators Update will allow users to put friends,family, and co-workers in the taskbar. Along with these people, you can associate their email, skype id and Xbox live to start with. You can directly drag and drop files on the taskbar to send it to the individual people. You’ll also see direct emails, IM’s and shared files right on your taskbar. This is a pretty convenient feature and will help out a lot to stay connected with the persons that matter the most.

Along with these features,this update will have support for VR headsets. Microsoft has partnered with some of the PC manufacturers to build VR headsets which will cost $299.

BlackBerry DTEK60 with Snapdragon 820 SoC and 4GB RAM launched

0

After much speculations and leaks, BlackBerry has finally released the Blackberry DTEK60. It’s a budget-oriented smartphone with high-end flagship specs. The unlocked version of the DTEK60 is priced at $499.

Talking about the device, the Blackberry DTEK60 is a top-notch smartphone featuring top of the line specs. It sports a 5.5-inch QuadHD IPS LCD display with 534 for the PPI. The dual glass panel is a good addition to the device. And like its predecessor, the DTEK50, the BlackBerry DTEK60 gets its looks from Alcatel’s Idol-series, this time from the Idol 4S.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Quad-core processor. The processor comes with Adreno 530 GPU and 4GB RAM. In the storage front, the device has a 32GB on-board storage that can be expanded up to 256 GB via a microSD card.

In the software front, the Blackberry DTEK60 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with BlackBerry already conforming that it’s in talks with Google for the Nougat update. BlackBerry is known for its secure software environment and the DTEK60 is continuing that tradition. The device constitutes secure bootloader, Hardware Root of Trust, DTEK app, and quick updates for security patch.

Blackberry DTEK60 features a 21MP rear facing and 8MP front facing camera.

Camera wise, the DTEK60 is equipped with a 21-megapixel rear facing camera and an 8-megapixel front facing camera. The device features USB Type-C connector that is capable of fast charging as it is enabled with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. The DTEK60 is first BlackBerry device to house a fingerprint sensor. A 3,000mAh battery is at the back for powering the device.

The DTEK60 is a good move from the Canadian OEM. It is a sign of BlackBerry’s changing strategy in the realm of smartphones. It finally looks to be catching up with people’s needs in the present time. But priced at $499, it will have to go up against the big hitters like the OnePlus 3 and the ZTE Axon 7, both cheaper than the DTEK60.

Here’s all you need to know about the BlackBerry DTEK60:

DISPLAY 5.5-inch 1440 x 2560 pixels IPS LCD display with 534 ppi Pixel Density
CHIPSET Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
