To brief in one sentence: It’s very much an iPhone 6s internals in an iPhone 5s body with little compromise and lesser price tag. Even though Apple claim to be making a budget-friendly iPhone with an international pricing of $400, the iPhone SE Price in Nepal is Rs. 57,950 for the 16GB base model and can be bought from Oliz Store.

My Early Impressions on iPhone SE: 

Although iPhone SE packs a lot of good specs from the iPhone 6s like the powerful processor, back camera, latest iOS, and touch ID, however, there are some decisions from Apple which I am not very fond of. Let’s start off with the design. The iPhone SE design is exactly the same as the 4-year-old iPhone 5s. I expected little more from Apple in its design. Although I am not a big fan of 4- inch display, but I understand there are lots of users who likes a small form factor in a smartphone. But, in this case, Apple cared to save a lot of time and money in Reseach and development in designing a new look.

Secondly — the iPhone SE’s 16GB base model is an insult. With no microSD slot, the 16GB version will soon run out of storage. Moreover, there are compromises in some areas like the front camera which are becoming more useful these days, No forced 3D touch which someone can live without, though, and the outdated version of Touch ID sensor.

Don’t get me wrong here, as much I like the concept behind the launch of iPhone SE — an affordable compact phone with serious power underneath. However, I expected much from Apple, the tech leader in new innovations and strategies.

For a price of Rs. 57,950, you can get a Samsung Galaxy S6, Xiaomi Mi5 or the Huawei Nexus 6P. However, if you want a phone with smaller form factor with an awesome camera and performance, and can live with a low-resolution display and front snapper the iPhone SE might just be right for you.

Samsung Electronics Nepal has officially launched the 2016 model of Samsung Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7. Both of these phones, as claimed by Samsung, falls under the Samsung’s mid-range phone category which comes with really astounding specs and built although considering the mid-range tag given to it. But A series is all about its beautiful aesthetics. The Samsung Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7 2016 Launched are priced at Rs.48,490 and Rs.55,490 respectively in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7 2016 Launched in Nepal

Samsung Galaxy A5 2016:

Galaxy A5 comes with some astounding set of specs like the 5.2-inch FullHD super AMOLED screen, unibody metal build and Gorilla Glass 4 panel on both front and back — which makes it no less than that of Samsung flagships. Moreover, its aesthetics is very similar to that of the Galaxy S6, so if you’re looking for a cheaper version of Galaxy S6 this can be the phone for you.

Galaxy A5 sports a fingerprint sensor which is similar to that seen in Note 5 and the Galaxy S6. Also, we have other useful Samsung features like double-tap on the home button to launch the camera app, Samsung theme store, dual window mode etc. Also, the A5 comes equipped with a really capable camera, the camera on the back is 13MP with features like Optical Image Stabilization and pro mode if you want to play more with the camera. The front camera comes with 5MP sensor. Both the front and back camera has f1.9 aperture.

Specifications:

  • 5.2 inches(1080 x 1920 pixels) at 424ppi
  • Corning Gorilla Glass 4 at both Front and Back
  • Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
  • Exynos 7580 Chipset
  • Octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU
  • Mali-T720MP2 GPU
  • 16 GB Internal Storage, expandable up to 128GB
  • 2GB RAM
  • 13 MP Rear Camera with f/1.9 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization
  • 5MP Front Facing Camera with f/1.9 aperture
  • Fingerprint Scanner
  • Non-removable Li-Ion 2900 mAh battery

Samsung Galaxy A7 2016:

Samsung Galaxy A7 is just the blown up version of the A5 but comes with bigger battery and RAM to name a few. Galaxy A7 comes with 5.5-inch FullHD super AMOLED screen, unibody metal construction, Gorilla Glass 4 on both back and front. Overall, it’s almost similar to the A5 if it wasn’t for the size, it has the same fingerprint sensor, same camera module, and the same chipset.

Specifications:

  • 5.5 inches (1080 x 1920 pixels) at 401ppi
  • Corning Gorilla Glass 4 at both Front and Back
  • Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
  • Exynos 7580 Chipset

  • Mali-T720MP2 GPU
  • 16 GB Internal Storage, expandable up to 128GB
  • 3GB RAM
  • 13 MP Rear Camera with f/1.9 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization
  • 5MP Front Facing Camera with f/1.9 aperture
  • Fingerprint Scanner
  • Non-removable Li-Ion 3300 mAh battery

Verdict:

The first and the very reason you’ll buy the A5 and A7 is for its look, build quality and the screen it offers and despite that, for a normal consumer there might be a lot of compromises with this phone; for example its price. Despite Samsung claiming that the Samsung Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7 2016 Launched in Nepal will to be mid-range, the phone’s cost will be above average to what we Nepalese customers are used to. But taking into consideration of all the specs, it might be feasible to have that price tag, but there are still other better options like the Nexus 5X, OnePlus Two and even the Galaxy S5 for what it offers. Also as a phone that is released on 2016, both of these phones run on 5.1.1 lollipop, this is where people cringe over Samsung phones. Although Samsung has promised the Marshmallow update, it is a long way till we get it.

And if you’re wondering what else you could be missing on such an expensive phone, let me remind you there’s no LED notification. So, you never know if you have a new notification and you have to unlock your phone every time to check for notifications. Also, the phone is running on last year’s mid-range chipset Exynos 7580 which is only a very decent performer but results in a great battery life. Overall, if you want an average performing phone with a great AMOLED screen, flagship build and a sturdy design this might be the phone for you.

The Samsung Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7 2016 Launched here in Nepal are priced at Rs.48,490 and Rs.55,490 respectively. The Galaxy A5, Galaxy A7 will be available in the Nepali Market starting this Week.

7 Reasons to buy Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in Nepal

0

Galaxy S7 edge has been crowned as the number one smartphone of 2016 or at least for the time being. S7 Edge manages a very precise balance between aesthetic and performance. It has now a lot of improvements compared to edge models of last year; especially the size. Both the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were launched in Nepal last week, despite being a great phone many people might have their doubts about why they should buy this phone. Samsung has already announced that it is now available for customers to wanting to buy Samsung Galaxy S7 in Nepali Market.

Seven reasons to buy Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

1. The Edge Display:

Believe it or not, the edge display on a phone is one of the most pleasing things you can see today. While using the device it gives you a kind of immersive experience where icons and other stuff just flows through the edges of the display giving a really natural vibe to it. It is also really helpful to launch to quick contacts, quick settings, and other important apps without bothering to turn on the actual display of the phone.

2. Super AMOLED Screen:

Galaxy S7 Edge now sports a rather bigger display of 5.5-inch (1440 x 2560) with the pixel density of 534ppi, which is way more than our eyes can tell. Samsung has a streak of making the best displays on their flagship phone and the AMOLED display on the S7 Edge is no different. The viewing angles are great, colors are really sharp, outdoor visibility is good as well, also the VR experience using this phone is really awesome.

3. Water Resistant:

S7 Edge is now IP68 dust and water resistance which makes it one of the sturdiest flagship phone. Not to mention its glass and metal body provides additional protection. We have seen the phone withstand underwater for a really long time without any issues. It’s a great addition if you’re used to handling your phone roughly. For people looking for water resistant high-end smartphones, it can be a good recommendation to buy Samsung Galaxy S7 or even the Edge Variant.

4. Camera

The camera of both the S7 and S7 edge has been titled as the best camera on any smartphone. It has one of the fastest and most accurate camera sensors and with f1.7 aperture S7 edge can capture good quality pictures even in low light. Also, the larger pixels of 12MP rear camera captures a lot of details. S7 Edge also has one of the fastest autofocus seen on any smartphone. It is also capable of shooting 4K videos with optical image stabilization. Double-tap on the home button to launch the camera app is a very neat feature which makes taking pictures instantly a joy. Talking about the Front Facing camera, the 5MP camera also has f1.7 aperture along with wide angle lens where you can fit a lot of objects or people to the canvas and does an excellent job of capturing high details like the rear camera.

5. Expandable Storage:

S7 Edge brings back the Micro SD support which is a huge deal as many of the users have complained about storage on the previous galaxy flagships. Now you have the support of expandable storage up to 200GB where you can store a lot of high-quality pictures and videos taken from the stunning camera. Also, since the internal storage has some room to breathe, you’ll see some slight improvement in the performance as well.

gs7ensituntumat_5

6. Battery Life and Wireless Fast Charging:

One of the best reason for me to Buy Samsung Galaxy S7 or the Edge Variant would be the Battery Life and its charging system. Battery life has always been an issue with a flagship phone as the phone has to handle powerful processors and background apps for fluid user experience. S7 Edge now comes with a bigger battery than before and also few added optimizations on TouchWiz which provides plenty of screens ON time for a normal user. And even if you manage to drain all of the 3600mAh battery with heavy usage, you have the option to fast charge your phone with either standard charger or a wireless charger with Quick Charge 2.0 which charges your phone from 0 to 60% at mere 30mins.

7. Lighter TouchWiz:

TouchWiz has been one of the most resource hogging UI of all time, there were always a lot of unnecessary apps and services running in the background which made the phone sluggish and battery life inefficient. TouchWiz now has a facelift where a lot of unnecessary services has been removed which has significantly improved the overall performance, multitasking and battery life of the phone. But we still have few helpful options like the Always ON Display, Multi Screen, SHealth, Theme Store etc. TouchWiz is now lighter in terms of both looks and weight making the device a pleasure to use.

Official: Lionel Messi leaves Samsung to join Huawei

0

Lionel Messi, the five-time ballon d’Or winner and currently one of the best players in world football, has become the new global brand ambassador for Huawei. It’s a big marketing success for Huawei, a company who in recent years have expanded their image around the world with collaboration with Football clubs like Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund.

Lionel Messi will help our brand to encourage people to focus, persevere and breakthrough; to connect with greatness, especially in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, where Huawei puts great devotions. We both honor the path we walked to what we have achieved, and with each new challenge we renew our commitment to find the path to success.” – Kevin Ho, President, Handset Business, Huawei Consumer BG.

Here’s what Messi has to say:

Earlier you were associated with Samsung why did you move?

Lionel Messi: The work I did with them was good and I really enjoyed it. What I’m doing with Huawei is even better because we share a lot of the same perspectives regarding goals and dreams, and how to achieve them. I think we’re a really good fit.

What is the deal with Huawei?

Lionel Messi: Today we want to inspire people to pursue their goals and persevere to achieve them. That is what matters today. We share the same wish to connect with greatness and to be better everyday. Right now Huawei is the 3rd biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world and I am sure that pretty soon they’ll be the 1st. Also we both do what we do because we love it, because it comes natural for us and that is why we enjoy it so much; that for me is a luxury, an experience, same as Huawei always seeks to provide premium experiences to their users. We love football and communication respectively because they connect people with greatness on so many levels.

For how long will you be Huawei’s Global Ambassador?

Lionel Messi: I’m very happy with this collaboration so we will be together for years to come.

Lionel Messi: Right now the Mate 8, it is super fast, the screen is big but the phone isn’t, I never have to carry a charger since the battery lasts two days and the photos I take with it look amazing.

Gionee S6 Launched: Everything you need to know

1

Chinese smartphone brand Gionee has added a new mid-range smartphone in its S lineup in Nepal. Known as the Gionee S6, the phone is 6.9mm thick at its thickest point and just 4mm at its thinnest point. If you only take the thinnest point in an account, it is indeed the world’s thinnest smartphone to date. But, we believe that’s delusional. The phone is priced at Rs. 29,999 and is available from Gionee outlets all across the nation.

We have seen all the past Gionee S lineup with slim profiles, but with average specs sheet, and the new Gionee S6 follows the same trend. It has a 5.5 inch 720P AMOLED display that comes with gorilla glass 3 protection. The phone is powered by a 1.3Ghz octa-core Mediatek MT6753 64bit processor coupled with Mali T720MP3 GPU. In terms of memory, the Gionee S6 boasts 3GB of RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage with a microSD card support for expansion upto 128GB.

As far as the camera is concerned, the Gionee S6 has 13MP rear camera with PDAF, LED flash, 1080P video recording. It also has a 5MP front-facing camera. In terms of connectivity, it sports a hybrid dual SIM slot with 4G LTE bands, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, USB type C port, and GPS. Powering is a 3150mAh battery which the company says will deliver upto 18.8 hours of talk time and upto 342 hours of standby time. It sports a premium metal body and is just 6.99mm thick weighing around 147 grams.

gionee_elife_s6

Considering the uber competition of midrange smartphones, there is nothing spectacular about the phone, particularly when the phone carries a price tag of Rs. 29,999. For such pricing, you will get better-specced phones like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Lenovo K4 Note, Galaxy J7, and Elephone M2.

Vernee Apollo with Helio X20 and 6GB of RAM

1

Vernee is a new smartphone manufacturer based on China, which is out to make its name in the smartphone market. What better way to do it than to launch a smartphone with massive 6GB of RAM which is a complete overkill for a handheld device. The device is powered by Helio X20 Deca-Core Processor, with 5.5 inch QHD display, 128GB storage and Force Touch feature, thus the name Apollo, with out of this world specs.

Vernee Apollo seems like a very strong contender for early 2016 as it packs all the latest and greatest specs. Apollo sports unibody metal construct with chamfered edges for easy handling of the device, which looks premium but the design is pretty average compared to other high end smartphones. Moreover, it looks like the Huawei’s latest flagship Mate 8. It has a fingerprint sensor on the back and USB Type C port. Vernee Apollo comes with the Rear Camera of 21MP with Sony IMX230 sensor which is used in Moto X style and Elephone M3 and upfront there’s 8MP Camera. The display here is a 5.5inch QHD (2560 x 1440) which is a 2K display with great saturation and vividness. Phone will be running on Android Marshmallow. Also we have the force touch feature like in the iPhone 6s and 6s plus. Despite all the specs mentioned, Vernee still hasn’t revealed the size of the battery and hasn’t mentioned if the USB C port has quick charge capability or not.

Vernee Apollo

There aren’t many contender of this phone right now, as there is only one smartphone with 6GB of RAM, Vivo XPlay 5 with similar specs as that of Vernee Apollo apart from the processor. But the future flagships are certain to sport 6GB of RAM as many manufacturers claim to be working on it. We already have phones with 4GB of RAM which is pretty great for multitasking but with 6GB of RAM, you can multitask between heavy games and applications with ease and we might even see some other great uses from smartphone with such a powerful hardware in the near future. Despite the crazy specs, rumours claim the device will be launched at an affordable price. Vernee Apollo will start shipping in late April. We still have to see how this phone stands out in the market.

Specification:

  • 5.5inch(2560 x 1440) QHD Display
  • Android Marshmallow
  • Helio X20 Processor(four Cortex A53 processors clocked at 1.4GHz, four Cortex A53 processors clocked at 2.0 GHz and two Cortex A72 processors clocked at 2.5GHz)
  • Mali -T880 GPU
  • 6GB RAM
  • 128GB Storage
  • 21MP Rear Camera (Sony IMX230)
  • 8MP Front Camera
  • 3D Force Touch
  • USB Type C

Xiaomi Mi4 launched in Nepal for Rs. 23,000

0

Vatsal Impex Pvt. Ltd, that claims to be the official distributor of Xiaomi smartphones in Nepal, has finally launched the Xiaomi Mi4 smartphone for Rs. 23,000. The current version of Mi4 has 16GB inbuilt storage and does not support microSD card for storage expansion. The phone is available for purchase from eCommerce website Kaymu.

The Xiaomi Mi4 is a 2 years old flagship, however, it still comes with superior hardware specs. The phone sports a 5-inch Full HD IPS display based on one glass solution (OGS) and is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It is powered by a 2.5 GHz Quadcore Snapdragon 801 Chipset with Adreno 330 GPU and has 3GB of DDR3 RAM. The phone has a 13MP Sony IMX214 BSI back camera with LED flash, 6-element lens, f/1.8 aperture, and 4K video recording. The front houses an 8MP snapper with Sony Exmor R sensor, 5-element lens, and f/1.8 aperture. It runs Android 4.4 Kitkat with MIUI 6 software skin running on top.

xiaomi mi4

Mi 4 boasts a non-removable 3,080mAh battery. In terms of connectivity, Xiaomi Mi4 supports single micro SIM with 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, WiFi Direct, and GPS. It has a stainless steel frame and comes with a white color variant only. It measures 8.9mm thick and weighs 149 grams.

Early Verdict:
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 Vatsal Implex.

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.

xiaomi mi4 nepal

The only thing the phone has going for it is the lack of competitive smartphone market in Nepal. With no Lenovo, Le Eco, and Huawei GR5 launching in Nepal for Rs.33,999, Xiaomi Mi4 might just make a better buy with other similarly priced smartphone in the market. Having said that, we hope to see Vatsal Impex launching the latest Xiaomi smartphones in the near future.
