How to Register IMEI Number of your smartphone in Nepal

It has been some time now since Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) made IMEI registration mandatory in Nepal. However, except for the official importers, not many have registered their smartphones’ IMEI until now. In a bid to increase that number, NTA has started online IMEI registration which is certain to make things easier for the users.

NTA had made IMEI registration compulsory in April 2016. It had even said that the phones with unregistered IMEI numbers would become dysfunctional from April 1, 2017. However, citing various reasons, the government-owned telecommunication company chose not to take the action.

Since NTA made IMEI registration mandatory, over 17 million IMEI numbers have been registered in NTA’s books. The company claims that since the start of the campaign, the number of illegal import of smartphones has decreased significantly over the years. And to be even more effective, NTA is finally set to implement its rule of making unregistered devices dysfunctional. According to Min Prasad Aryal, Managing Director for NTA, the company will appoint a third-party team to make unregistered mobile phones inoperable soon.

How to Register IMEI Number of your Mobile Phone?

For the registration purpose, NTA has already come up with a site where users can easily register their mobile phone’s IMEI number. The site is, however, still in a demo phase. NTA, in full coordination with the Government, Customs Office, and Nepal Telecom, has promised that IMEI registration will go online at the start of the next fiscal year.

The registration of your smartphone’s IMEI number not only will help you track your lost phone or during the emergency case, but it also helps the government to stabilize the illegal supply of grey products in Nepal.

IMEI Registration from phone bought from Abroad

One of the most asked questions regarding IMEI registration is whether an individual can register a smartphone they were gifted from someone abroad or not. NTA has no issue whatsoever with anyone using a mobile phone purchased abroad as long as it’s registered.

If individual users have bought a phone from abroad, you don’t need to get worried. Just follow the IMEI registration process mentioned above, and you are good to go. This also works for people who have bought the phones from unauthorized distributors. This registration process doesn’t hamper individuals who buy the handset from abroad or from local retail shops. It’s basically to diminish the unauthorized supply of smartphones in Nepal.

Objectives of the IMEI Registration in Nepal

Meet the requirements of national and consumer security.
Identify the genuine mobile handsets and make the fake and non-genuine handsets inoperable in Nepal.
Enable tracking/blocking of a mobile handset that is lost/stolen.
Encourage to import and sell genuine mobile handsets.
Minimize the possible grey market and encourage mobile handsets import through the Customs Office(s).

Advantages of online IMEI registration in Nepal:

Mobile importers can now register the numbers online whereas previously they had to burn CDs and manually submit the IMEI to NTA.
Mobile importers will not have to go up against illegally sold mobile phones now as NTA will be keeping track of all devices.
User can now easily register their mobile phones online by creating an account on a web-based NTA application.
If a handset of a user is stolen, it will be easy to keep track via its registered IMEI.
Nowadays, lots of people use their mobile phones for banking and financial purpose. The registered IMEI will now make the transactions more secure.

Lithium-air batteries could power next-generation Smartphones

As electronics devices like smartphones have evolved over the years, hardware components such as display, processor, and camera have significantly improved in performance and efficiency. One area where not enough development has been taken place is the battery. Now, researchers have engineered a next-generation battery technology, known as lithium-air batteries that could last five times longer than today’s commercial lithium ion batteries.

Next-generation lithium-air batteries have the ability to store ten times as much energy as lithium-ion cells. This is possible since lithium-air batteries breathe oxygen from the air with new soluble electrolyte catalyst materials (dimethylphenazine) to power the chemical reactions that release electricity, rather than storing an oxidizer internally like lithium-ion batteries do. The high energy density of the Lithium-air batteries can allow an electric car to drive over 600kms on a single charge and a smartphone to last a week without recharging.

The Lithium-air batteries are also flexible, allowing it to be used to power wearables and flexible displays in the future. However, this technology could take five to tens years before it can be used commercially in consumer devices and electric vehicles. Having said that, it’s a major step in the development of efficiency in batteries.

D.r Kyeongjae Cho, a professor and researcher at UT Dallas said, “There’s huge promise in lithium-air batteries. However, despite the aggressive research being done by groups all over the world, those promises are not being delivered in real life. Automobile and mobile device batteries are facing serious challenges because they need higher capacity. This is a major step. Hopefully it will revitalize the interest in lithium-air battery research, creating momentum that can make this practical, rather than just an academic research study.“

Elephone S1, the cheapest phone with Fingerprint sensor launched in Nepal

Mobile Planet, the authorized distributor of Elephone Smartphones in Nepal, has launched the Elephone S1 smartphone and is available exclusively from Kaymu for an introductory price of Rs. 12,500.

The highlight of the phone is the fingerprint sensor on the back, which we normally find on a midrange and high-end phones these days. The phone also comes with a metal frame reminiscent to that of Samsung Galaxy S6. It has a glass panel on the back and has a non-removable battery of 1800mAh capacity. The phone offers a 5-inch HD display, a quad-core processor (MT6580), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage upto 32GB via microSD card, 13MP rear camera, and a 2MP front camera. The phone is currently running Android Lollipop 5.1, with Freeme OS out of the box.

Connectivity wise, the Elephone S1 supports 2 SIM card slots with 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The company is also offering freebies like a screen protector and silicon case with the purchase of the phone.

Early Impressions:

We spent an hour playing with the phone and were amazed at the build quality. The metal frame provides a premium feel, however, the glass panel on the back is a fingerprint magnet. The fingerprint sensor is not the fastest we have seen, but it will do the job. The Freeme OS looks much similar to the Xiaomi’s MiUi with no app drawer.

The rear camera does a decent job during daylight with accurate color reproduction, and details while zooming in. Having said that, during low light there was a fair amount of noise and lacked in details. The HD display is bright and has accurate colors, but the contrast level is mediocre at best.

1 of 3

The only letdown of the phone is its performance and storage. The phone comes with a quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM, which might just be enough for day-to-day tasks, but the phone tends to heat up upon continuous use and while playing games.

Pros	Cons
– HD display	– Average Performance
– Metal body	– Not available from retail shops
– Fingerprint sensor	–

Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 Launched in Nepal for a Price of Rs. 27,990

After successfully launching the Galaxy J5 2016, Samsung Electronics Nepal has also launched the Galaxy J7 2016 for a price of Rs. 27,990. You can grab the phone from various Samsung mobile outlets located all over the country.

[Update: The Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 is now available for Rs. 26,490]

The Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 offers a bigger 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display when compared to the 5.2-inch of Galaxy J5, however, the resolution remains the same at 720 x 1280 pixels. The phone is powered by an Exynos Octa 7870 CPU that comes equipped with a total of eight Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.6Ghz. The Exynos Octa 7870 is the first midrange system on a chip (SoC) to feature 14nm FinFET process which means it is more power efficient than the traditional 28nm SoCs. Moreover, with octacore processor, the Galaxy J7 2016 is twice as fast as the 1.2Ghz quad-core fueling Galaxy J5 2016.

In terms of memory, the Galaxy J7 2016 has 2GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB of onboard storage which can be further expanded via dedicated microSD card slot upto 128GB. Just like the Galaxy J5, the Galaxy J7 also boasts a 13MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash and f/1.9 aperture lens, while the front houses a 5MP shooter with LED flash and 120-degree wide-angle lens. The phone runs on the latest version of Android — Marshmallow 6.0 with Samsung skinned TouchWiz UI.

SM-J7108ZDDTGY-79905-0 — The Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 supports Ultra data saving as well as Ultra power saving features.

In terms of connectivity, the Galaxy J7 2016 supports dual SIM slots with 4G LTE, WiFi b/g/n, and GPS. The phone is made up of plastic with the faux metal frame. The back is removable giving access to a 3300mAh user replaceable battery. The phone weighs 170gms and measures 151.7 x 76 x 7.8mm in dimension. Like the recently launched Galaxy J3 and Galaxy J5, the Galaxy J5 also comes with S Bike mode which when enabled while riding your bike automatically replies to calls with pre-recorded messages without notifying the rider and only get notified about important contacts which is a pretty neat safety feature.

Early Impressions:

Although the Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 is an upgrade over last year’s Galaxy J7, but for a price of Rs. 27,990 it raises some questions to be answered. The phone goes head to head with recently launched OnePlus X (Rs.28,999) and Redmi Note 3 (Rs.24,999), and it’s a shame to tell that the Galaxy J7 falls behind those two in almost every way.

While the OnePlus X comes with a beautifully crafted glass body and the Redmi Note 3 featuring a full metal jacket, the Galaxy J7 2016 offers the same outdated plastic build. Moreover both the OnePlus X and Redmi Note 3 provides full HD display, but Samsung for some reason still thinks 720P display is good enough in the age where almost every 25K phones come with a 1080P panel.

Another big disappointment of the Galaxy J7 2016 is the lack of important sensors like the fingerprint scanner, secondary noise-cancelling microphone, compass, gyro sensor, and auto brightness sensor. Talking about the performance, having used the phone for an hour or so, the Samsung Galaxy J7 didn’t feel as smooth and fluid like the OnePlus X and the Redmi Note 3. Apart from having a 14nm processor, the Galaxy J7 is nowhere near the Snapdragon 801 powered OnePlus X or the Snapdragon 650 powered Redmi Note 3.

What’s good about the Galaxy J7 2016 are the camera and battery life; areas where Samsung does ever so well each year. With the increasing dominance of Chinese smartphone brand, what bothers me a lot is why Samsung is refusing to accept the market trends. So, what do you think about the Galaxy J7 2016? Leave your opinion in the comment section below.

Everything you need to know about Google I/O 2016

Google I/O is this big Developers Conference that Google organizes each year where Developers from all over the world gather to see the road-map from Google, of where it’s heading or what Google products are in development. This is the time of the year, where every new version of Android used to be introduced but this time, the developer version of Android N was launched earlier and only some handful of improvements to Android N were showcased, but what N stands for still remains a mystery. Including that there were a lot of things that were showcased on Google I/O. Here are few important keynotes from the Google I/O.

1. Google Allo and Duo

Google Allo is an instant messaging app which is powered by Google’s AI or now what Google calls it as “Assistant”. With Google Allo, instant messaging becomes more fun with smart replies suggested by the app itself based on the questions asked. Like Google Now On Tap, it scans the texts and images on the screen and suggests users with useful replies and cards. The main focus of the app is to make the chats more human like, so there are many small elements to make things more intuitive, like when you are about to send a message you can drag the send button up or down to increase or decrease the size of text, meaning you’re whispering something or shouting out loud. If you don’t want to use the Google Now Voice Service, you can just chat with the Google Assistant and ask for questions that you’d normally ask on Google Now. Also, privacy has been a crucial thing when it comes to messaging, so Google doesn’t keep record of the things it scans while you chat, also you have the option for private messaging where you get End-to-End Encryption.

Duo is what Google claims to be the fastest video calling platform with the use of WebRTC. This app seems like a competition to Apple’s Face Time as the app is getting released on both Android and iOS. Google claims the Duo has been optimized in such a way that it runs even on low latency. Even though the UI is very minimal, a lot of things are going inside making it one heck of a fast and easy to use video messaging platform. The moment you call someone, you instantly get the video feed of that person before they even pick up the call, which seems like a major privacy issue to me. There might be an option to turn it off or enable it for only certain contacts.

What’s even great is that you can switch between mobile data and wifi without getting disconnected from the call.

But to sum it up, Google already has an IM app, Hangouts! Which hasn’t been able to live up to its competitors. Users have been complaining a lot about App fragmentation as Google has a lot of apps to do similar tasks and what a single app could to it has scattered that into multiple apps/products.

2. Android Instant Applications

Android Instant Apps is a revolutionary feature which will redefine how we use an app. Most of the time we don’t carry around the app we use the least, but there might be times when you need the app instantly for something, let’s say shopping. So, when you search for a product online, instead of going to the web page of the product you are greeted with the site’s app instead, where you’ll have an easier time navigating around to buy products and pay for them if you have Android Pay available. Another example is: if someone sends you a link t a YouTube video but you don’t have the YouTube app installed on your device, when you click on the link of the video, the instant app instantly launches the temporary YouTube app enabling you to watch the video. This is possible because the app is installed from the server instantly and if you want to install the app permanently you can do so by the install option you get on the notification drawer.

3. Google Home

The future is full of Internet of Things(IoT), even if we’re ready or not, Google certainly is. For the last few years, we saw many IoT tech like the smart bulbs, smart kitchen accessories, security systems and the Digital Home Assistant Amazon Echo. For all the IoT devices to sync and to control some of them, you need a central hub this is where the Google Home comes in. If you’re familiar with the Amazon Echo, it’s exactly the same, but it comes with the power of Google which means you have boarder usability. With Google Home Smart Assistant, you can easily ask questions, request services and many more. Google has yet to announce the comprehensive details about the Google Home but for the time being it still already feels pretty awesome.

4. Android N Improvements

Android N is the next big update on the Android OS, which is yet to be released for the masses. Only the Developers are using it for testing and bug report but it will soon be out in late Fall for the public. Android N will more or less completely change how we use our Android devices. Though on the surface it looks similar to the lollipop but there are a lot of new features and design overhaul aiming to make Android experience even great and interactive.

Android N now comes with Vulkan graphics API which will give developers direct access to the GPU for better 3D graphics in games and apps. JIT compiler has been added which makes Android a whole lot faster, with JIT you can now install apps 75% faster than on Lollipop. Android N is also the first mobile platform to get the Unicode 9 emoji standard with the inclusion of 72 new emojis. And finally, we get the Clear All button on the top right corner which users have been demanding for a very long time. But the top right position is rather uncomfortable for a large device. For better memory management, the apps on the multitasking window are automatically removed if they are left idle for a long time. And security has been a major focus on Android N, now android has File based Encryption, Media Framework Hardening, and Seamless Android Updates.

5. Google Daydream

Google Daydream is all about enabling very high quality mobile VR experience. The new Virtual Reality mode is baked into Android N system. Google Daydream just won’t run on any device, you need a Daydream ready phone with high end sensors, display and processors. With Google Daydream, Google will be launching VR headset, VR controller that is optimized for VR that is both powerful and intuitive, also there will be Google Play for VR where you’ll be able to download VR apps, movies, videos and other cool stuffs. Apps like Google Play Movies, Google Street View and Google Photos will be some of the early VR compatible apps from Google. You’ll even have a VR system UI in the future where you’ll be able to interact with your device.

6. Android Wear 2.0

Android Wear 2.0 is the biggest update for Android Watches. Android Wear 2.0 for Developers is now available for download. Android Wears are something that is increasing gradually, there are a lot of brands showcasing their smartwatch which usually runs on Android but all of them had to depend mostly on the Smartphone to work properly. With the introduction of Android Wear 2.0, you can now have standalone apps for the watch which earlier required to sync with mobile app, there’s better support for third-party watch faces and the new Carousel app launcher is much improved compared to earlier launcher. The UI has been overhauled for easier navigation, input and showing results. You also get the intelligent message reply/suggestions, you’ve even got a keyboard for Android Wear now!
