What is 4G? And why do we even need it in Nepal?

1

The World is evolving rapidly and so is technology around us. Day by day our necessities are changing due to the advancement of technology. The majority of these developments are directly affecting our daily activities. One of them is the evolution of mobile networks.

In today’s world, no one is untouched from the spell of fascinating virtual life. The Internet is an inseparable part of our daily life. In this scenario, the telecom companies are always trying to cope with the requirement of its customers. In past mobiles were the mere means of telephony services and SMS services. But presently the huge leaps of technology have ensured the unlimited possibilities. Sending audios, videos, images; surfing the internet; downloading and uploading seems quite normal. Recently some rumors are spreading  like wildfire about the new coming technology ‘4G’ to hit Nepali market soon.

What is 4G? And why do we even need it?

4G stands for the 4th generation in telecommunication technology. It is the successor of 3G. 4G is better and faster than 3G, a whole lot better. It has an incredible peak speed of 100Mbps (Megabits per second) theoretically only. Practically, a lot less but greater than twice that of 3G. 4G uses OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. Basically, it’s a method of splitting and tight packing of data for parallel transmission using MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) concepts. Basically, in laymen’s term 4G is a fast internet service provided by mobile networks with the high speed of 100Mbps.

Nepal Telecommunication Corporation(NTC) is the winner in the race for approval of the license. According to NTC, the prevailing WiMAX Service is up to the standard of 4G. Ncell has also applied for the license. Minister for Information and Communication, Mr. Sherdhan Rai said that the existing 3G service will be expanded nationwide and 4G service will be started at Kathmandu Metropolitan City along with some major sub-metropolitan cities.

The major drawback for 4G is its lack of traditional circuitry for telephony service as like in 3G. But we can use VoLTE (Voice over LTE) function provided by apps like Skype, Whatsapp, Viber, Facebook, etc. for telephony service. If someone wants to make a voice call from 4G network without VoLTE feature, the network is automatically dropped to 3G or 2G network.

The necessity of 4G is felt at various places. A better internet ensures the uninterrupted call (voice or video) to their loved ones. A faster one takes less time to download or upload a great movie, songs, images,etc. Live streaming is possible without waiting for buffering. And best of all speed ensures the development of a nation is on right track.

Gionee’s latest S9 and S9T will launch on November 15

0

Gionee will be launching two new smartphones Gionee S9 and S9T. The camera focused phones from Gionee will sport dual camera setup which we don’t know exactly what for. Both the phones have been teased for a long time and after the leaks from Teena certification site, the design of the phone and some of its specs came to existence.

Design wise the phone looks like a mixed bag of Huawei Mate 9 and the iPhone 7 sporting a full metal jacket. Both the phones come with 5.5-inch Full HD screen and is equipped with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of Storage which is expandable. S9 and S9T will be running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and as far the rumors suggest, both the phones will come with a new version of Amigo UI giving the phone a refreshing look with new added functionality. Up front, it comes with a fingerprint sensor which also acts as a home button.

Gionee S9 S9T

Talking about the camera, both the phones sport a dual camera with 13MP Primary Camera and 5MP secondary Camera, the purpose of the secondary camera is still a conundrum. It can be for the bokeh effect, wide angle or even for zooming like we saw on the iPhone 7. Even the front houses a 13MP sensor and LED flash to make sure it’s a well-rounded camera phone.

The only difference between both of these phones is their weight and the processor. The Gionee S9 weighs at 166grams while the Gionee S9 T weighs solid 200grams. Gionee S9 is confirmed to come with a 3000mAh battery but no words have been spoken about the S9T so the extra weight on S9T suggests that it’ll come with a massive battery. Despite that, the S9 is powered by a 1.8Ghz octa-core processor (unknown brand) and the S9T is powered by a 2.0Ghz Processor (possibly Helio P10). The S9 is expected to come in Silver color and the S9T is expected to be in Black.

The pricing of the phone is unknown and the phone should be available in Nepal within few months.

Other features of the device include dual SIM (Normal + Micro) with 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and, of course, a headphone jack, something not even some of the big hitting smartphones feature these days.

Meizu M3 Note Review: Light on Price, but Strong on Design

0

As brands are introducing more and more products in the mid-range segment of a smartphone, the segment has been receiving a lot of attention with an extended number of products available to the customers. The extension grew further with Meizu launching its latest midrange phone M3 Note in Nepal for Rs. 24,995. Does this phone stand out among the crowded mid-range segment? Let’s find out in this review.

DESIGN

The Meizu m3 note has a very eye appealing yet sturdy design. The phone looks premium with is metal finish at the back and is very attractive from the front with its Dinorex glass protection and a single home button which is also its fingerprint scanner. The phone just weighs 163g which is light for a 5.5” metal phone. The overall design feels brilliant and does shine in its segment.

meizu-m3-note-3-build

The Meizu M3 Note comes with an all metal back with a 13MP camera while the top and bottom remain plastic for the antenna bands. The front carries a 5.5″ screen which is protected by the Dinorex T2X-1 scratch/shock resistant glass protecting the 5MP camera, one home button which also is a fingerprint scanner and some sensors. The sensors on m3 are Compass Magnetometer, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor, and Gyroscope.

meizu-m3-note

The phone comes with a single home button and there are no back and apps buttons which we find in almost all android phones. The button can be used as the home button by physically pressing it and as a back button through gentle taps. And to top that the button is also the fingerprint scanner of the phone which is surprisingly very fast for this segment. This interesting adaptation did impress me.

DISPLAY

The m3 note comes with 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with 1080p resolution that nets a total pixel density of 403ppi screen. The screen comes with nice viewing angles and good brightness level in the indoor environment. But visibility suffers greatly in outdoor sunlight.

meizu-m3-note-display

The screen comes with The Dinorex T2X-1 scratch/shock resistant glass protecting the 5.5″ display which looks nice and enhances the front view of the phone. The protection did amaze me in the paper but on real life scenario, it did not dazzle me. Upon simple daily handling and placing the phone in a pocket with keys and coins, micro scratches were found on further detailed examination. But the screen and display package does outstand other phones is this segment.

meizu-m3-note-display-1

SOFTWARE

The phone comes with Flyme 5 OS which is based on Android Lollipop 5.1. The interface heavily reminds me of iOS. There is no app drawer and all the apps are listed on the home screen. The phone comes with very limited apps unlike other Chinese OS which are loaded huge bloatware.

meizu-m3-note-review

One thing regarding the Flame that took my attention is that it did not come with Google Play Store. But it did come with Hot Apps that enlisted a list of all-time favorite apps like Facebook, W­hatsApp, etc. Upon powering on the phone for the first time there was a notification of Hot Apps by default which insisted on downloading Google Play store which was a one-touch affair. The Flyme OS may not be appreciated by many users, but after getting used to it delivered a very smooth experience to me.

PERFORMANCE

The m3 note is using a Mediatek Helio P10, which embeds  a quad-core 1.8GHz Cortex-A53 and a quad-core 1.0GHz Cortex-A53 chip with a Mali-T860MP2 GPU. We tested the 32GB of storage with 3 GB RAM and performance is still decent for what one pays for the price. You would not find lag unless you use a power heavy game or app. A  Mediatek processor at this price range did not please me as you will get better phones with more capable SoCs at this price range.

CAMERA

The phone comes with a 13 MP back camera and 5 MP front shooter. The back camera comes with a dual tone camera and phase detection autofocus, but no optical image stabilization. The camera interface has quick access to flash, timer, front camera, settings and different modes like Beauty mode, Manual mode, and even a GIF mode. One can also shoot on HDR by selecting the feature through settings.

meizu-m3-note-rear-camera

On actual usage, the camera falls short at many instances to what it speaks in the paper. The images lacked detail and dynamic range. Certain noise crept in the shots despite different lighting condition. The phone is fine for taking pictures once in a while but would disappoint if you are someone with a high camera performance as a priority. The 5MP front camera is good for taking selfies and video calling.

CONNECTIVITY

Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared, USB OTG, and 4G LTE support. Sensors on the phone include Compass, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor, and Gyroscope.

m3-note-camera

The Meizu m3 Note has a dual hybrid SIM slot, i.e. SIM+SIM/micro SD card. It supports a micro SIM and a Nano SIM with 4G. I found the call quality to be excellent.

BATTERY

The phone is powered by a 4100mAh non-removable battery.  Fast charging is not available on this device but the battery performance of the phone is remarkable. The phone easily lasts more than a day with ease. With 4100mah monster power and excellent customization, m3 note excels in its battery performance.img_1907

CONCLUSION

Meizu m3 Note outshines at some of its features and doesn’t in some. The phone overwhelms with its shimmering design and excellent battery performance, but let’s down with its camera and average performance. Overall the phone is still a good handset but in the current market flooded with similar devices, it is not difficult to find a device that delivers better value at the price.

Let’s also look around to see what other phones can one get for the money Meizu is asking for the M3 Note. Here are some of the notable alternatives to the device

Huawei GR5

Priced at Rs. 24,500, the Huawei GR5 offers a better rear camera, and feature rich fingerprint scanner, however, it’s 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM is no match for the 3GB/32GB storage of the Meizu M3 Note.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

Priced at Rs. 27,999, the Redmi Note 3 Pro offers excellent performance with Snapdragon 650 Soc onboard. It also offers a good 16MP rear camera and a huge 4100mAh battery.

Gionee S6s

Priced at Rs. 25,999, the Gionee S6s offers 8MP front snapper which is twice as good as the 5MP front snapper found on the M3 Note.
