CG Mobiles has launched their first wearable smart device — CG iWear. Priced at Rs. 4,444, the smartwatch supports both Android as well as iOS devices.
The CG iWear smartwatch sports a 1.44-inch rectangular touch screen. Although we don’t know the exact resolution and it’s type (LCD or LED), but during our hands-on time, the screen is nowhere comparable with the likes of Apple watch or even the first gen Galaxy gear. The interface is also nothing to write home about — it’s basically a copy of Android wear and Apple watch.
What’s good about the device, however, is it supports notifications for Facebook, Gmail, twitter, phone calls and messages that allow a user to view notifications from the smartwatch via Bluetooth 4.0 Connection. The watch features an adjustable faux leather strap that places nicely on the wrist.
The CG iWear smartwatch comes with a handful of inbuilt apps like a fitness tracker that tracks your fitness thanks to Step and Calorie Counter. The sleep monitor app helps to monitor your sleep pattern. The smartwatch comes with a 12 months warranty and is available all across Nepal via CG digital stores.
Huawei is set to launch their much-anticipated smartphone, the Huawei P9, on April 6, 2016, but that has not stopped the company from revealing teasers. With Huawei Mate 8 gaining a lot of love, the company expects to compete with recent flagships from Samsung and LG. Rumors and Pricing trend of Huawei Nepal make it clear that the Huawei P9 price in Nepal will still be on the expensive side compared to the international Market.
Huawei P9 Launch date Revealed in a Teaser by Huawei
Huawei P9 Leaked Specs
The Huawei P9 will come with a comfortable size of 5.1-inch and will still offer 1080P resolution despite the over growing 1440P resolution. According to our close source from Huawei, the P9 will be powered by an in-house HiSilicon 955 Octacore processor coupled with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage that can be further expanded via a microSD card slot up to 200GB. It will also have a improved Li-ion 2900mAh battery.
What’s certain about the phone is a dual camera setup which will be designed in partnership with Leica, a manufacturer of digital and analog cameras. We expect the 12MP camera of the P9 to be very competitive with Leica taking the charge. Other rumored specs include 8MP front snapper, Wifi ac, 4G LTE, NFC, and GPS.
Huawei P9 Price in Nepal
Huawei Mobiles Nepal has launched its flagship phone of 2016, the Huawei P9, for Rs.59,999. The device was launched back in April in different color variants and storage options, however, only the gold variant has been launched in Nepal with 32GB ROM and 3GB of RAM.
Samsung Electronics Nepal has officially launched the Galaxy J1 Nxt in Nepal for Rs. 9,490. The Galaxy J1 Nxt sports a compact form factor with a 4-inch display, but unlike the recently launched iPhone SE that has got a lot of power under the hood, the J1 Nxt is a budget oriented smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt Launched today will be available in the Nepal market from this week.
Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt Launched With?
Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt sports a 4-Inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. It isn’t a lot of pixels compared to 720P and 1080P screens of today’s generation. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a 1.2Ghz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU (Spreadtrum SC8830) and has 1 GB of RAM. The phone comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage which can be further expanded by microSD slots up to 128GB.
The Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt was Launched in Nepal at Rs 9,490
The Samsung Galaxy J1 Nxt houses a 5MP rear camera with 720P video recording. However, the front snapper is only VGA — not an ideal phone for selfie lovers. In terms of connectivity, the phone has dual hybrid SIM card slots, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. It is powered by a 1500mAh removable battery with Ultra Data Saving Mode and runs on Android 5.1 lollipop.
Apple recently launched their new smartphone, iPhone SE, that looks similar to the iPhone 5s but packs powerful specs under the hood. 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.
iPhone SE Price in Nepal is Rs. 57950 for 16GB and Rs. 70,950 for 64GB. It is available in Silver, gold, space gray, and rose gold.

iPhone SE Price in Nepal and Launch Date :
Apple iPhone SE has been launched in Nepal. The base model of 16GB is priced at Rs. 57,950 and the 64GB model of the smartphone cost Rs. 13,000 more at Rs.70,950.
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 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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
