Nepal Police has been really active these days. Contradict to the previous status they hold, they have upgraded into something different, something praiseworthy. They are constantly working to make themselves better in every way they can and have a very proper online presence.

Online crimes have been increasing in a meteoric rate and in real life crimes, despite the Police presence in most of the area, the respond time is relatively slow. Also at a crime scene, eyewitness is just not enough evidence, Police needs solid evidence to work on a case. With the motive of allowing citizens to swiftly report incidents of crime to Metro Police Kathmandu using smartphones; Nepal Police has launched the Hamro Police App.

As of now, this app is exclusively for the residents of Kathmandu valley. But One can still report with pictorial and documentary evidence to Kathmandu Metro Police, as well as the exact location of the incident, enabling Nepal Police to respond to reports swiftly and efficiently.

What you can do with this app:

Report an incident via app or SMS
Look for the nearest Police Station
Public complaint on something
Get Police Alerts and Notifications

Note that, this app is somewhat buggy, so make sure to drop some suggestions on review section for developers to help improve the app and help citizens deal with crimes better.

Micromax Canvas Nitro 2 E311 launched in Nepal

Pashupati Tradelink, the authorized distributor of Micromax smartphones in Nepal, has launched Micromax Canvas Nitro 2 E311 for Rs. 21,120. It is the successor of the Micromax Canvas Nitro (A311) that was launched back in January for Rs. 21.500.

SPECS BREAKDOWN:

The Micromax Canvas Nitro 2 E311 comes with a 5 inch HD resolution display that is being protected by a gorilla glass third gen. It features a MediaTek 32bit octa core processor running at a frequency of 1.4GHz, 2GB of DDR 3 RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, 13/5MP cameras (Sony IMX214 CMOS Sensor), and 2400 mAh battery.

The Canvas Nitro 2 E311 has an identical specification to its predecessor Nitro A311, with the only differences between them lies in the processor and battery. The new version, much to the dismay to the potential buyers, sports an inferior processor and packs smaller battery capacity than its predecessor. The other specifications of the new smartphone are identical to the Canvas Nitro (A311), however, there are some minor changes in the design and build quality.

Full Specs | Canvas Nitro 2 E311:

SIM	Dual 3G
DISPLAY	5.’’IPS LCD; 720*1280 resolution
MEMORY	16 GB internal memory; micro SD up to 32 GB
RAM	2 GB
PROCESSOR	Octa-core 1.4Ghz Cortex A7
CHIPSET	MediaTek MT6592M
BACK CAMERA	13 MP with autofocus and LED flash
FRONT CAMERA	5 MP
OS	Android 4.4
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/, Wi-Fi hotspot, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0
BATTERY	Li-Ion 2400 mAh battery (non-removable)

One of the biggest let down of this smartphone is it is still running Android 4.4 KitKat and not Android 5.0. Moreover, the phone joins the Nepali trend of launching a smartphone at a higher price tag than that of other countries. The phone is priced at INR.10,200(Rs.16,320) in India, which means we are paying almost Rs.5000 more.
So, what are your thoughts on Micromax’s latest phone? Let us know in the comments below.
