Samsung W2017: Flip phone with Snapdragon 820, 4GB RAM that will cost you Rs. 315,363

0

Yes, you read the title right. Samsung released a flip phone that is estimated to run you $2953 when it hits the market. A staggering Rs. 315,363 worth of flip phone! But the device, code-named Veyron, is not any ordinary flip phone. It packs specs a flagship phone of today would pack.

Samsung released the Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 in August. It was a great flip phone that was equipped with features a low-end smartphone of the present time is equipped with. It was packed with features like Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 Chipset with 1.4GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow among others. However, it looks like the company isn’t stopping there.

samsung-w2017

Yes, the specs are top-notch, but it doesn’t justify the pricing at all. The flip phone features dual displays, one on the outside and another on the inside. The display comes with an ‘Always On’ feature like Samsung’s flagship nowadays have. The display stands 4.2-inch tall. It has full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) resolution.

And it’s not just that. The Samsung W2017 is powered by a Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor that is aided by a whopping 4GB RAM. Not so ordinary now, is it? And it doesn’t stop there. The device features 64GB of onboard storage.

sm-w2017

Talking about the camera, the Samsung W2017 houses a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera with a f/1.9 aperture with 4K video recording and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies. On the software department, the device runs on Android 6.0.1 and even features a fingerprint sensor. Other features include NFC and dual SIM with LTE. How cool is that?

The Samsung W2017 is powered by a 2,300 mAh battery that can be charged via wireless charging. The only drawback is that this device will probably be exclusive to China. However, it could be made available in other countries if there is a huge demand for the device. I should also mention that there is no Headphone jack!

Macbook Pro 2016 up for Pre-Order in Nepal

0

Macbook has a modest user base here in Nepal, and with the new MacBook Pros out, if you’ve been wondering when you could get your hands on these new beasts, then wait no longer! Generation Nxt, the official distributor of Apple products here in Nepal, has already started the Pre-Order from its different resell partners (Oliz Store, Evo Store, Sonu Mobiles, Future World) for all the five variants of the new Macbook Pro.

First off, the new MacBook Pro 2016 doesn’t offer any significant changes in terms of the design but unfortunately the glowing Apple logo is no more! But it does come with some functional changes compared to the previous generation like it has 130% better graphics, 67% brighter display, faster performance, better audio quality, most functional trackpad and most importantly now an OLED bar and Touch ID. But it lacks the most basic things like a micro USB port and an SD card reader, instead, you get 4 ThunderBolt Ports with high data transfer rate. So you might need to buy few extra micro USB to USB c adapters.

The most hyped thing about the new MacBook is obviously the OLED bar which now replaces the function keys. The functionality of this bar changes based on the application you’re using giving you quick shortcuts and other information. Apple has also integrated the 2nd gen of Butterfly keyboard for better travel while typing.

MacBook Pro

So there are three variants of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the base version comes without the OLED touch bar, 2.0Ghz processor, 256GB SSD, the second variant comes with an OLED bar and Touch ID, 2.9GHz processor, and 256GB SSD, and the highest variant comes with the OLED bar and Touch ID, 2.9GHz Processor and 512GB SSD. All the three variants come with Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. Apple has discontinued the MacBook Air lineup cause these 13inch laptops are just that light and portable.

Coming to the bigger 15-inch MacBook pros, there are two versions and both versions come with the OLED bar and Touch ID. The base version comes with 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 256GB PCIe-based SSD and Radeon Pro 450 with 2GB memory, and the maxed out version comes with 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 512GB PCIe-based SSD, and Radeon Pro 455 with 2GB memory. And now the can handle two 5K displays simultaneously.

The Huawei Mate 9 stands 5.9-inch tall and will reportedly sport a display of resolution 1080 x 1920 pixels with 373 for the PPI. The classic model, code-named Manhattan, looks much like the Huawei Mate 8. It will have a metal body and slightly rounded off edges.

The Huawei Mate 9 Pro, code-named Long Island, will feature a Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display. It looks so much like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy Note 7 because of the curved screen and the physical home button mounted below the display. This physical button will also serve as a fingerprint sensor and will be coupled with a second fingerprint sensor at the back.

Both Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro will feature HiSilicon’s new and powerful Octa-core Hisilicon Kirin 960 processor clocked at 2.6GHz.

Software and Memory

The Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro will run on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box with Emotion UI 5.0 on top. These two devices will be the first of Huawei’s devices to run the newest version of Android OS.

Both devices will be available in three storage option – 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The 64GB and 128GB variant will feature 4GB RAM while the 256GB variant will have 6GB RAM. According to some rumors, these devices will even house a microSD card slot giving users an additional 256GB of storage.

Camera and Battery

Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro will reportedly feature dual cameras.
Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro will reportedly feature dual cameras.

Reports have stated that both the Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro will boast Leica-branded dual rear facing 20-megapixel and 12-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture. The dual primary cameras on their last flagship,the P9, were stunning. So, we can expect the the Mate9 and Mate 9 Pro’s cameras to be amazing as well. These dual cameras will be equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and 4x optical zoom. The rear facing camera will be accompanied by an 8-megapixel front facing camera.

There have been some debates about the battery size in the devices. Some rumors suggest that the Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro will feature a huge 4000mAh battery whereas some suggest the device will house a 3000mAh battery. But 4000mAh seems more believable as the Huawei Mate 8 had the same battery capacity and the company certainly wants the battery to last long in the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro.

Release Date and Price

Huawei Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro release date: November 3, 2016.

Huawei has already sent out invitations to a press event on 3rd November in Munich. The company hasn’t mentioned anything about the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro though, saying it will launch a ‘new flagship device’ in the event.

Rumor mills suggest that Mate 9 could start roughly at $475 and the top end model to be priced astonishing at $1,300. This is, however, just a rumor and the pricing could change once the devices released.
