CG launches EON Edge Smartphone

CG smartphones have been in the Nepali market for less than a year and we can already see the wide customer base it has created. It is safe to say that CG has got a fair market share on mid-range smartphones with decent performing hardware at a reasonable price.

No doubt CG smartphones are one of the most good looking phones in its price category. They feel great on hand and, for the most part, doesn’t feel cheap. Now, CG has introduced yet another mid-range phone to their EON line up, CG EON Edge for Rs.11,999.CG EON Edge

What’s inside CG EON Edge?

Don’t get fooled by the name. By no means, this phone has a curved edge display like the Samsung Galaxy Edge series. Instead, it is rocking a 5 inch 720p IPS display with the resolution of 720*1280. It is powered by 1.3GHz processor (Unspecified) backed up by 2GB of RAM. EON Edge comes with 16GB Internal storage with the option to expand via Micro SD card up to 32GB. As far as the camera is concerned it has 13MP Rear Camera with auto focus and 5MP Front-facing Camera. The device being launched in 2016 still runs on Android Lollipop 5.1 with no signs of future updates. Powering this device is a 2000mAh battery which should give a decent battery backup keeping account of the hardware configuration. The only turn off for this phone can be its single SIM capability as most of the mid-range phones come with the option of dual SIM.

To conclude, CG EON Edge doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It has the same hardware configuration like the Moto E, Gionee P5W, Huawei Honor Holly, Colors Elite E10 and almost all smartphones at its price range. But design wise this phone is ahead of every other product in its price category.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 was recently launched at the Mobile World Congress and offers a 5.1-inch Quad HD display, 4GB of RAM, and 12MP camera.

Key Highlights of the Samsung Galaxy S7: 

  • Android 6.0 Marshmallow

We can expect the base variant of the Galaxy S7 to launch for around Rs. 80,000, considering a global pricing of $750. We might not see Samsung launching the 64GB version since the phone now offers microSD card support up to 200GB.

There is no confirmation from IMS on whether Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge will be launched or not. The Galaxy S7 Edge is a bigger variant of the Galaxy S7 that features a 5.5-inch display and rounded edge on the sides. Unlike last year when only the Galaxy S6 was launched, we hope that the Edge variant is made available, since it offers bigger yet compact display, a larger battery of 3600mAh and will cost only around Rs.10,000 more.

Enhanced Features in the Samsung Galaxy S7

  • Dedicated Gaming Feature makes it easier to record sessions and screenshots. A do-not-disturb mode blocks incoming notifications and lets the user play games without interruption
  • “Always-on” display, a familiar feature of Nokia phones for years, the display shows time, calendar or images from the lock screen. This Screen is customizable apart from LG G5 which does not possess that customizable feature. The Always on screen is a SuperAMOLED screen which consumes only 1 percent of battery in an hour.

As expected, Samsung has unveiled their flagship smartphone for 2016 — The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in the Event in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2016. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge variant are almost similar to each other than its slightly rounded edges.

Easier to hold in one hand, the Galaxy S7 is 5.1″ and Galaxy S7 edge is 5.5″ with curved-glass backs and slimmer ergonomic bodies. The curve of the S7 edge has a unique edge screen, which is designed to give quick access to contacts, apps and also allows quick actions from the Newly optimized Edge.

On the side of the phone, there is a small key that opens its lower part giving us access to the battery, a process much similar to loading a gun. You can also insert a modular device, named LG CAM+, which turns the camera of the phone into a digital camera. The LG CAM+ offers dedicated shutter button, zoom in/out button, and sports a 4000mAh battery.
