Apex Digital Initiates a Nationwide Mobile Phone Chain Store in Nepal

1

Buying a smartphone has not been a smooth experience for a lot of users. It starts with researching and comparing the products, finding a product you like, selecting a store of choice from the many crowded stores, being pulled by the store promoters with puzzling alternatives and being pushed a product which you may not be intending to buy at the first place. We all have experienced this in one way or other. Apex Group has built an approach to tackle this tedious situation through Apex Digital.

Apex Digital has initiated the establishment of a chain of mobile phone stores referred as “smart stores”. The smart stores will be one of a kind experience stores where the customers will be able to touch and feel, and use the smartphones of different brands under the same roof. The stores focus on providing flexibility and convenience to the customers and ensure a smooth buying experience.

Two of the stores were opened today, one at the prime location of Pako,New Road and another at Thimi ,Bhaktapur. This chain of stores will not be limited within the valley. Three of its stores will be opened tomorrow at Dharan, Itahari, and Pokhara. Apex Digital plans expand its stores all over the country. Apex plans to expand upto 40 stores, within the next two years in a phase wise expansion strategy.

The store has several interactive booths for experiencing the phones. Each brand has been provided their own booth with their phones on display. Also, the flagship phones are placed at one booth. Upon picking up the phone and using it, the specifications of the phones are displayed on the interactive screen placed in front of each booth. On top of that upon holding two phones the interactive screen displays the comparisons between the two phones you have picked. Now that is something which we don’t experience on current stores.

Apex Digital has stated that customers will receive a variety of presents upon their purchase.Cash discount ranging from 5% to 50% will be given to the customers around the year as well as a tempered glass and a case, with every purchase.  Along with that customers will be given other gifts like cup, selfie stick, t-shirts, and lot more depending on their purchase. More to that,a lucky draw shall be conducted for a bumper prize. And this doesn’t stop here; customers will also be presented with Pamacare scents depending upon the purchase. Focusing on the large share of smartphone user which are students, Apex Digital plans to run an offer through which students would have a chance to study TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, GRE and GMAT for free.

Apex Digital has commenced a refreshing engagement in the current smartphone market of Nepal. Their determination is overwhelming and the accomplishment will most favor the customers who are eager for a hassle free shopping experience, for devices they seek. The smartphone market is booming at the current phase and the initiation of a nationwide chain of the smart store is definitely a turning point into a new direction. Apex Digital has focused on offering consistent as well as trustworthy service from their chain smart stores which seems promising to current customers not locally but nationally.

Facebook launches Messenger Lite for areas with Low Connectivity

0

Facebook announced that messenger reached a Billion users mark early this year. This is a great achievement for any platform to have such a huge base of user profiles. Facebook is a global conglomerate and people all over the world use its services, and the messenger is the most used app from Facebook besides WhatsApp. But in the developing countries where internet connection are poor and people only use basic android devices, Facebook Messenger usually becomes unusable. So to tackle this problem and to expand the reach of messengers in every part of the world, Facebook today announced the trimmed down version of Facebook Messenger, the Messenger Lite as its campaign to connect the next Billion!

Messenger Lite is a slimmed version of the Messenger app without any compromises on the facility it provides. The Lite app has both SMS and messaging configuration, stickers, files, and other multimedia support. The app is just under 10MB so it is faster to install and operates more quickly. Not only that it also supports older devices, so my guesses are up to the devices that run Android Kitkat.

We have seen a similar release from Facebook earlier, the Lite version of the Facebook app, which has been successful to connect people with basic android devices. We all know how resource hungry the Facebook app and the Messenger app really is, which drags down the performance of our device. So the solution can be the lighter version of these apps, Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite. Both of these apps will also be useful when you’re not in a Wifi zone or you’re low on your data packs.

Messenger Lite is starting to roll out to people in Kenya, Tunisia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Venezuela. We can look out for Messenger Lite in Nepal in the coming weeks.

ZTE Blade V7 Lite launched in Nepal, best smartphone under 20k? (First Impressions)

2

Nepali smartphone market is seeing a rise in the ‘budget phone’ category. With more and more people looking for the ‘bang-for-buck’ device, smartphone sellers release new devices almost every week or so.

Evolution Enterprises, the official Distributor of ZTE mobile phones in Nepal, aims to cash in on this trend with its newly launched ZTE Blade V7 Lite. A toned-down version of the Blade V7, the Blade V7 Lite is a proper a bang-for-buck device. It features a full metallic compact body, sporting a 5-inch HD display with 294ppi. The front of the device is covered by a Corning Gorilla Glass. This device is currently priced at Rs. 18,990. 

Before anything, I’d like to mention the build quality of the Blade V7 Lite. Even for a device under Rs. 19,000, a metallic body is well built and feels premium. Moreover, the fingerprint sensor, as the company claims, will unlock the device under 0.3second and using it for an hour, it works really well. I unlocked the device with no hiccup at all.

At today’s Bloggers meet, I got to play with the Blade V7 Lite for some time and here are my early verdicts.

Build and Display

One of the best features of this device is its build. The V7 Lite feels like a premium device with its unibody metallic design. It is light and compact that makes one-handed use much easier.

zte-v7-lite-display

The device features a 5-inch IPS LCD 720 x 1290 pixel HD display with 294ppi. This display is covered with a Corning Gorilla Glass and I was impressed with the device’s wide viewing angle. However, the screen is a fingerprint magnet so applying a tempered glass is recommended. The only downside of the device is an annoying thick black frame that surrounds the screen.

Camera

The Blade V7 Lite is equipped with a 13-megapixel rear facing camera, paired with a decent 8-megapixel front facing shooter and a front facing LED flash –a perfect fit for selfies. The camera performs really well in well-lit areas. However, it suffers in low-lit areas, just like most other budget phones. The picture comes out bright but really grainy. We will test the camera properly in our full review.zte-v7-lite-back

Performance

Under the hood, the ZTE Blade V7 Lite is powered by a Mediatek MT6735P Quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. This processor is paired with a Mali-T720MP2 GPU. It runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the MiFavor UI on top. Everything worked smoothly when I used the device for a while. However, it took me some time to get accustomed to the lack of app drawer, but this problem can be solved by downloading a launcher.

zte-v7-lite-build

Battery

The ZTE Blade V7 Lite is backed by a 2500mAh battery. It will surely last long because of the device’s 720p screen. We will be testing the battery properly in the full review.

Other features

The device can run two SIM at the same time and supports 4G connectivity as well. However, since it has a Dual Hybrid SIM port, you need to choose between using two SIM at the same time or using a single sim and a microSD card.

Conclusion

Overall, the ZTE Blade V7 Lite is a bang-for-buck device for Rs. 18,990. In addition, the Dashain offer from ZTE is an icing on the cake. When I used the device, I felt that no other smartphone came close to the V7 Lite in terms of price range. It has a premium build quality and a fast fingerprint sensor.

BlackBerry to stop making smartphones

Blackberry is not going to build any more smartphones. All the future hardware projects shall be executed through external companies, the company announced.

This brings the end of one of the most loved phone at a time, which was an icon for its services and design as well. The current domination of touch phones was not a favorable situation for Blackberry. At 2011 the company had peak sales of 52.3 million units while the recent fiscal year, it was only 3.2 million. Blackberry had launched high-end phone names as “Priv” on 2015 based on the android platform instead of its home-baked BB10.The phone was not successful to attract a fair share of customer. The introduction of android itself was taken as a display of despair for its final downfall.blackberry-share-in-2010-vs-2016

“The company plans to end all internal hardware development and will outsource that function to our partners,” said John Chen, chief executive and executive chairman of Blackberry. “We are focusing on software development, including security and applications.”

The company shall continue its software and service provider but it shall now stop designing and building any phones.
