Samsung Galaxy J2 2016 Officially Lands in Nepal

Samsung Electronics Nepal has officially launched the successor of Galaxy J2 2015 with the Galaxy J2 2016 for Rs. 15,990. It is available for purchase from different retail outlets all across the country.

The Galaxy J2 2016 offers improvements over its predecessor in almost every specification. It now features a bigger and better 5-inch HD AMOLED display opposed to 4.7-inch qHD display of J2 2015. It is powered by a 1.5Ghz quadcore Spreadtrum SC8830 chipset with 1.5GB of onboard storage. The internal storage is only 8GB, but one can expand the memory with a dedicated microSD slot upto 128GB.

Both the primary and secondary camera has been bumped from 5MP and 2MP to 8MP and 5MP. The 8MP primary camera comes with f/2.2 aperture lens, autofocus, and LED flash. Powering the Galaxy J2 2016 is a removable Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery and lacks fast charging as it takes about three hours to charge. Connectivity wise, the phone has Dual SIM support like most of the budget oriented handsets from Samsung, but this unit gets the taste of 4G LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps with VoLTE. The Galaxy J2 2016 model also runs the latest clean TouchWiz UI layered on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

The design is reminiscent of other budget handsets of Samsung which feels cheap and all plastic, but there is one notable difference on the rear side of the J2 2016. Samsung likes to call it as “Smart Glow LED ring” which is basically four LEDs that is concentric to the surfaces of the camera. These LED glows in different colors and serves as a notification system. The rear facing LED’s is the first of its kind as far as phones are concerned, usually, LEDs are located on the front; an area where the user usually see the notification.

Early Verdict:

Like other entry-level smartphones from Samsung, the Galaxy J2 doesn’t live up to the competition. There are other phones in this price range that provides a superior user experience and better performance.

Pros Cons
– Excellent Super AMOLED display
(bright, vibrant 720P display)		 – Sluggish Gaming Performance 
(Spreadtrum 32bit chipset is not favorable for gaming and heavy multitasking)
– Feature pack UI 
(S bike mode, Ultra data saving mode, Smart Glow App)		 – Low internal storage 
(Out of 8GB onboard storage, 3.6GB is only available to the user)
– Battery Life
(4 hours of onscreen time)		 – Average Camera 
(The camera lack in details and can only record videos in 720P)

Deals: Xiaomi Mi4 up for Grab for Rs. 18,999

Last week, my mom dropped her Samsung Galaxy S5 and cracked the screen. The screen itself costs Rs. 15,000 which is not worth paying for. From that day, she has been asking me which would be the best phone under Rs. 20,000 with 1080P display and excellent rear camera.

There is arguably no smartphone with a decent 1080P display and excellent camera right now in Nepal that is available under Rs. 20,000, but that changed when Mi Nepal sent me a message that the Mi4 is available for Rs. 18,999. When the phone was launched in March for 23,000, I took a rant at them by saying:

“Launching a 2-year-old smartphone doesn’t make any sense at all, especially when you are looking at a brand like Xiaomi that has recently launched smartphones like Redmi Note 3 and Mi5. No matter what way you look at it, it’s very least a misstep from Mi Nepal.
Wait, there’s more! The Mi4 variant that’s being launched in Nepal has 16GB storage with no SD card, a feature that’s available even on sub-5K smartphones these days. Launching a 64GB version would have made a lot of sense. “

But, the recent price drop has changed my perception. For Rs. 18999, the Xiaomi is a stunner. The hardware specs aren’t too interesting as it features a 32 bit Snapdragon 801 SoC that has got some heating issue while playing games or using heavy apps, however, it’s built well, the screen has a vibrant 1080P panel, and has an excellent 13MP camera. However, if you are a multimedia wizard, it’s not for you as the phone lacks SD card slot and comes equipped with only 16GB of storage.

Xiaomi Mi 4 specifications

  • 5-inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS display with 441 PPI resolution with Corning Gorilla glass protection
  • 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with Adreno 330 GPU
  • 3GB RAM, 16GB internal memory
  • MIUI V6 on top of Android 4.4 (KitKat); Upgradable to Marshmallow 6.0
  • 13MP rear camera with LED Flash, Sony IMX214 BSI sensor, 6-element lens, f/1.8 aperture, 4K video recording
  • 8MP front-facing camera with Sony Exmor R sensor, 5-element lens , f/1.8 aperture
  • 8.9mm thick and weighs 149 grams
  • Infrared LED
  • 3G, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n (2.4/5 GHz), WiFi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS
  • 3080mAh battery

Moto E3 with Water and dust resistant Launched

Lenovo-owned Motorola has launched the 3rd generation Moto E. The new moto E3 packs a 5 inch IPS (720 X 1280 pixels) display panel rather than a 4.5-inch display from the previous years and a more capable 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon chipset. The new Moto E3 also comes with an improved 8 Megapixel rear and 5 Megapixel front facing camera. The 2,800mAh battery is powering the display and other components of the device.

In terms of memory, the phone sports 8 GB onboard storage and can be expanded upto 64 GB if needed. The new Moto E3 is quite similar to its brother the Moto G4 in terms of build and looks.

Running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box , the new Moto E is a great competitive phone in the budget price segment of the market. In Nepal, it will cost around Rs.14000 considering the international pricing of £99. Although it is  slightly higher than earlier Moto  E models, the new Moto E is a brilliant phone in its price range. Lenovo also claims that the new Moto E is smudge, water, and dust resistant. The phone also has an inbuilt screen protector.

Key specs of Moto E3

  • 5 inch IPS display (720 X 1280 pixels)
  • 8 Megapixel rear camera with LED flash
  • 5 Megapixel front facing camera
  • Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) out of the box
  • 2800 mAh Li-Ion battery
  • Water and dust resistant
  • 1.2 GHz SnapDragon 410 chipset.
  • Adriano 405 GPU
  • Launch date: September

In my opinion, the Moto E3 is a solid phone with stunning performance, built quality, battery and camera in such a low budget. I’d recommend getting this phone who has a budget around 15k.

Samsung Electronics have officially confirmed that the Galaxy Note 7 will be launched On August 2nd at the Samsung Unpacked event. Simultaneous launch events will take place in New York, London, and Rio de Janeiro. Live streaming of the New York event will be available at news.samsung.com/global

There have been a lot of leaks regarding the Galaxy Note 7. As per those leaks, the Galaxy Note 7 will feature a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED QuadHD dual-edged display with Gorilla Glass 4,with power provided by recently announced Snapdragon 821 SoC. It is rumored to have 6GB of RAM and  base storage of 64GB. In terms of camera, the phone might have a slightly upgraded version of S7’s camera and will now feature a 12MP sensor with F1.7 aperture lens. Talking at the press release, Samsung electronics said:

With added functionality of the S Pen and large screen, the Galaxy Note7 is a powerful instrument for achievement and self-expression, and is made for those who want to get the most from their phones – and their lives. Galaxy Note7 will help people do more in work, at home and everywhere in between. We can’t wait to tell you more about it!

note 7 nepal

The company also provides the reason for skipping the Note 6 model, and will directly be launching Note 7.

First and foremost though, you might be curious as to why it’s called Galaxy Note7 instead of Galaxy Note6. There are a couple reasons why. First, the Galaxy Note7 will  complement our Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and unify our product portfolio. Second, the Galaxy Note7 will minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone.

Although the price and expected availability date has not been announced, some publications have noted that the price will be around $900, which is $100 more than the launch price of Note 5. For more details, we have to wait until the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Unpacked event!
