OnePlus Two and OnePlus X set to launch in Nepal

Pashupati Trade Link, the authorized distributor of Micromax phones in Nepal will be launching the OnePlus line of phones. Oliz Store, on the other hand, will be the online partner who along with OnePlus phones will be selling its accessories like the bamboo back cover and USB Type-C cables. OnePlus is the company many of us might not know, but it has been one of the most revolutionary company in the smartphone industry. It popularized the concept of flash sales and brought great flagship grade hardware at an affordable price tag. OnePlus has been trying to produce the flagship killer every year since the launch of the OnePlus One.

OnePlus Two is the powerful device among the two. It sports high-end specs that you find on last year’s flagship phone which includes the Snapdragon 810, fingerprint sensor, 4GB RAM and USB type C port. It was totally worth the price but couldn’t live up to its hype like their last year flagship OnePlus One. Nonetheless, it can be considered somewhat a flagship killer. OnePlus X, on the other hand, is the mid-range phone which sports the old 32bit Snapdragon 801 coupled with 3GB of RAM and sports glass and metal body giving a premium feel to it making it a complete mid-range killer.

Meet a Phone case that comes with a built-in Drone

UK-based Buzz Technologies has built a smartphone case prototype that can fit in a four-propeller drone with a camera. Known as a Drone-in-a-Phone, this plastic case features slide-out compartment where a tiny foldable quadcopter is placed.

The drone when taken out of the drawer flys in a correct position upon which the camera module of the drone captures aerial photos and videos. The drone is connected with the smartphone via a thin wire, instead of being wireless, since the drone draws its power from the smartphone’s battery and prevents it from being swept away by the wind.

The drone can fly for over 25 mins and the camera houses an 8-megapixel sensor to 12-megapixel depending upon the capabilities of the smartphone’s processor. The camera can also be swapped with different kinds of lens such as standard, wide angle, and macro. Moreover, the camera can be flipped around eliminating the need for a front facing camera.

There is a wide range of developments still to be done. Developers says that they can also insert a selfie stick that sports a vertical antenna. As developments continue, the case will also feature a battery pack that will power the drone as well as the smartphone battery. Buzz Technologies will be starting a Kickstarter funding for the drone-in-a-phone case in September of this year.

Huawei Y6 Pro Review: Good phone, terrible pricing

Huawei Y6 Pro Review: Good phone, terrible pricing

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd recently launched the Huawei Y6 Pro in Nepal as a successor of the Huawei Y6. Like the previous generation, the Huawei Y6 Pro is also a mid-range smartphone in terms of specs, but the phones best selling point is obviously its massive Li-Po 4000mAh non-removable battery with quick charging support. It is priced at Rs. 22,499 and yet again Huawei has decided to launch the phone in Nepal with exorbitant pricing. FYI, this phone is priced at around $150 in China.

[Update: Huawei Y6 Pro is now available for Rs. 17,999]

Pricing aside, lets’s have a look at the phone itself. The design is nothing to write home about. It sports a plastic back which most of the midrange phone comes equipped with. However, the back comes with a textured body which in my opinion looks nice and classy. The frame is not metal which one would expect in this price range.huawei y6 pro review nepal battery

The back is removable, but like most of the Huawei phones these days you don’t have access to the battery. It comes with 2 SIM slots and a microSD card slot that can be expandable upto 128GB. Talking about the display, it has a 5 inch HD display which is the same LCD panel that was used in its previous version Y6. That big bezel doesn’t look attractive, however, there is an onscreen button which is a welcome edition. The LCD panel is good, produces accurate color, but I noticed the brightness is not that great considering the pricing.

Apart from that, Huawei has not mentioned what kind of protection the glass comes with. One would have liked to have a gorilla glass after paying over 20,000 bucks. The Software UI is Huawei’s in-house Emotion UI that’s running Android 5.1. If you haven’t used Huawei phones before, you will feel like using a completely different Operation System. There’s no App drawer, the notification bar looks different and so does the lock screen.huawei y6 pro review in nepal with price and specs

The biggest letdown of the Huawei Y6 pro is its processor. It houses a quad core 1Ghz Mediatek 64bit processor which isn’t a big performer. The phone will start to lag when you install over 50 apps. However, on a brighter side, the processor consumes less amount of energy resulting in a great battery life thanks to its huge 4000mAh battery. It’s one of the few phones that has over 6 hours of onscreen time and if you want a phone that lasts over 2 days under normal usage, you should get this one.huawei y6 pro removable battery

Having said that, the 13MP rear camera is just mediocre at best. Though it has capabilities to capture nice photos during daylight, low light photography is average for a phone with F2.0 aperture lens. The 5MP front camera, on the other hand, does a decent job during selfies, groupies, and video calling.

VERDICT:

I am kind of disappointed with the phone’s pricing rather than the overall specs. With competition so high these days with the introduction of Redmi Note 2 that has got a full-HD display, Helio X10 Octacore processor, and really good 13MP camera and then there is Gionee M5 Lite that comes with 4000mAh battery, metal body, and 3GB RAM, it’s very difficult for us to recommend the Huawei Y6 Pro.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Launched in Nepal

Vatsal Impex Pvt Ltd. who claims to be the Official distributor of Xiaomi in Nepal has launched Redmi Note 2. Few days ago, they showcased the Redmi Note 2 and Redmi Note 3 on Mi Fans day at CTC Mall. As of now, just the Redmi Note 2 has been launched and in coming weeks we might see Redmi Note 3 as well.

Redmi Note 2 was Xiaomi’s last year’s midrange phone which has pretty amazing specs like the 5.5-inch 1080p display, 16MP back Camera, a massive 3060mAh battery and is powered by Helio X10 SoC which is a beast in terms of both performance and power efficiency.

Redmi Note 2 Nepal
Priced at Rs. 20,000, it’s easily one of the best phones to buy under this price segment. It has a big vibrant 1080P display, a capable octacore Mediatek processor, 2GB of RAM, and a decent 13MP rear camera.

Coming down to the pricing, the phone is fairly expensive compared to other countries which indicate Redmi Note 3 will be even more expensive and will cost around Rs. 25,000. Compared to what it offers the price of Redmi Note 2 might seem fair compared to other smartphones with the same price tag in Nepal. But as an official distributor, we hoped the price will be similar to that of the international market which would have been amazing for Nepali users to get a very capable smartphone on a low budget. All and all Redmi Note 2 is still a solid budget phone which delivers amazing power and performance. For 20k, you get amazing Full HDdisplay, a well capable processor, good camera, decent battery life and as a complete package, it is still hard to beat.
