This smartphone will last all week on one charge

Can this be the Best Battery in a Smartphone?

Smartphone battery  is one area that is yet to develop to its full extent. Smartphone companies are in some sort of race to make the handset thinner and lightweight in the expense of smartphone battery capacity. Making the best battery in a smartphone and look sexy is a difficult task to complete. Increasing the number of cores of the CPU, and bumping up the screen resolution up to 2K makes no sense if your smartphone battery doesn’t last a day. Taking that into perspective, a Chinese firm named Oukitel is developing a handset with a battery so large the smartphone will last all week on one charge. 

This handset (shown in the image) contains a compact 10,000mAh battery. Nowadays, we often see smartphones battery ranging from 2000mAh to 3500mAh, and even the recently launched Gionee M5 has 6200 mAh battery capacity. This 10,000 mAh battery can take hours to charge, so we might expect the handset to come with fast charging technology–a race that is already in progress. 

Apart from the battery capacity, the specifications of this mystery phone are yet to be revealed. Oukitel says the device will be released in a few months. So, what do you think about this 10,000mAh smartphone? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

BlackBerry To Launch Android Phone in August

Blackberry with Android, Will it matter to the Users?

According to the latest rumours, BlackBerry is set to launch their first handset running Android. A Blackberry with Android might launch as earlier as August 2015. Codenamed BlackBerry Prague, the device is apparently a low-end smartphone that could be based on the BlackBerry Z3, a budget phone that was launched in 2014.

Once king of qwerty handsets, Blackberry recently has failed to compete with the likes of Android and iOS. They failed to see the key change in its market: the emergence of software capability — trumping hardware features — as the driver of consumer handheld purchases.

A Blackberry with Android OS may or may not thrive the competitive market of Apple, Samsung and many branded Chinese Phones. It may be too late for the  John S. Chen boys in the smartphone business. However, as hopeful as you are, the new Android smartphone from Blackberry could be a start of something good, something innovative, and something that could WOW consumers.

Huawei Honor 4x: First Impressions

Huawei Honor 4x: First Impressions

Huawei recetly launched Huawei Honor 4x in Nepal at an unexpected price of Rs.26,999. The Huawei Honor 4x stands out to be among the most overpriced smartphone to ever launch in Nepal. If it wasn’t for the SEO titles and meta keywords, the headline of the Honor 4x launch story in Nepal should be something like Huawei Device Nepal launches the most overpriced smartphone of the year. The price tag of NPR. 26,999 doesn’t make any sense, especially when you consider the fact that it is priced at INR. 9,999 (~NPR.16,000) in India. (update: Honor 4x price now in Nepal: Rs. 22,999)

Huawei Honor 4x Pricing Strategy

Huawei has exacerbated their pricing strategy in Nepal for a while now. Last month, they launched Gplay mini for NPR. 19,999 which is identical to Honor 4C priced in India at INR.7,999. No matter what way you look at it, newly launched phones from Huawei here in Nepal can’t justify its price.

Huawei Honor 4x, Lets Talk About It

It boasts a 5.5 inch (1280 x 720 pixels) HD IPS display, is powered by 1.2 GHz Huawei Kirin 620 64-bit A53 Octa-core processor and runs on Android 4.4 (Kitkat) with Emotion UI 3.0. In terms of memory, the phone has 2GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable memory. It has a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. It has dual SIM support and 4G connectivity and packs a 3000 mAh battery.

BUILD:

The Huawei Honor 4x sports a plastic body with a textile finish on the back. It weighs 165gms and measures 152.9mm × 77.2mm × 8.65mm in dimension. Honor 4x lies in a phablet category because of its 5.5-inch display. It’s a big phone and performing with one hand is next to impossible.

DISPLAY:

Honor 4x comes with a big 5.5-inch display. The IPS panel is bright, produces accurate color and has decent viewing angle. It’s perfect for watching movies and playing games. The display lacks a gorilla glass protection, so its highly recommended to have a scratch protection cover.

Honor 4x screen quality is better and brighter than Huawei Gplay mini–the phone that was launched a couple of months ago for NPR. 19,999. However, both these phones are a fingerprint and smudge magnet.

CAMERA:

Like the Gplay mini, Honor 4x comes with 13/5MP cameras. The 13MP rear camera has a minimal interface and looks quite similar to the one seen in iPhone 6/6 Plus. The image quality of the 13MP rear camera of Honor 4x is just mediocre, lacking sharpness and color accuracy. The 5MP front camera, on the other hand, is good for selfies and video chatting.

PERFORMANCE:

Honor 4x is equipped with Huawei’s in-house Kirin 620 chipset with an Octa-core 1.2Ghz Cortex A53 64 bit processor supplemented by 2GB of DDR3 RAM. The Kirin 620 Chipset is somewhat similar to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 chipset seen on Micromax Yureka Yu, HTC desire 820 and Xiaomi Mi4i. Under normal usage like browsing, chatting,etc., the phone is deprived of any lags. The phone runs smoothly while multi-tasking or switching between apps. We will be able to tell you more about its performance(gaming and benchmark) once we review this phone.

BATTERY:

Honor 4x is equipped with 3000 mAh battery, slightly bigger than most other mid-range Huawei smartphones. The 3000 mAh battery should provide enough life to last for a day of moderate usage.

CONNECTIVITY:

Honor 4x has two micro SIM card slots and supports 4G LTE connectivity. The phone also comes with WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

Early Verdict:

Had the price of this phone been somewhere near NPR. 20,000, It would have made sense. But, at NPR. 26,999, it’s too much what Huawei are asking for. At this price range, you can get Xiaomi Mi4i, or Asus Zenfone 2 which are equipped with a FullHD screen, superior hardware specs, and better camera performance.

How To Copy Any Music, Videos To Your iOS Device Without iTunes Or Jailbreak

How To Copy Any Music, Videos To Your iOS Device Without iTunes Or Jailbreak

Transferring a file from a PC to an iOS device without iTunes or by jailbreaking was next to impossible, but thanks to an app called Waltr that makes it possible to transfer any type of video or audio file, regardless of its format, on your iOS device with native playback of the file in Apple’s Music and Video apps.

Since every way to jailbreaking the latest versions of iOS is dead now and relying only on iTunes for the transfer of files to your iOS device can be really annoying sometimes especially when you have to convert the file via a separate app and then upload it through iTunes. [Note: If you are not aware, iPhones and iPads can only play limited media file formats like MP3, WAV, and AAC music files, and MP4 and M4V video files. It’s not possible to play MKV or AVI video formats.]

To overcome this scenario, you can install WALTR on your MAC or Windows PC which makes it way easier to upload and convert any music or video file to an iPad or iPhone format for native playback.

How to use WALTR:

  • Download this app on your windows/MAC PC: LINK
  • Install it
  • Disable iTunes automatic sync feature
  • Connect your iOS device to your PC via USB
  • Drag-and-drop the desired files for transferring to your iOS device.

Before you upload the files, WALTR converts the files to an iOS supported format. The file conversion time is also really fast. It can convert 1 GB of data in around a minute. After the file conversion, WALTR uploads them in such a way that they’re available in the native Video and Music apps of your iPhone and iPad. PRETTY COOL!

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime gets a price drop in Nepal

International Marketing Services Pvt .Ltd., the authorized distributor of Samsung mobiles in Nepal, has slashed the price of mid-range handset Galaxy Grand Prime here in Nepal. It is available for purchase here in Nepal for Rs. 13,900 ($130) from different Samsung stores. Though the retailers quote, the Samsung Grand Prime price in Nepal is Rs. 14,500, but one can get this handset for around Rs.13,500. [Previously: Rs. 20,500]

Check Out Official Samsung Stores and Service Center in Nepal

The new Galaxy Grand Prime sports a 5.0-inch qHD (960×540) TFT screen and comes packed with Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS, 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core 64-bit processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB inbuilt storage (expandable up to 32GB) and 2600 mAh battery. The Galaxy Grand Prime also features a 5 MP front-facing camera which makes this device something like a dedicated “selfie” smartphone. It comes with a traditional 8MP rear camera with LED flash and 1080P video recording.

samsung galaxy grand prime

The screen isn’t the best we have seen on a midrange phone. It only features a qHD display (not QHD). The resolution is reasonably okay, but in 2016 the mediocre screen could be a big deal for buyers. You can easily get phones with a better screen at this price point. Under similar pricing, you could get the Colors Elite E15 and Huawei Y6 that comes with HD display. However, the 5MP front camera of this phone is a well-padded benefit. It has a wide-angle lens that helps you click photos with groupies.

Official: Nokia planning a comeback in 2016

Nokia is the brand that has created a history in the telecommunication industry, in fact, it was the king of the hill when it came to phones. From our fathers to grandfathers everyone knew Nokia and used one of its handsets. It was one of the most important brands in the world till it failed to catch up with the latest trends in the smartphone industry and before it was too late Nokia went bankrupt and was sold to Microsoft. From a glorious past to a shameful end, we must admit it was hard to go down like this. The name it had built and the reputation it has earned went all in ruins. And now in 2016 Nokia is planning to come back hoping to make a place in the smartphone market again which it has completely lost not so long ago.

Nokia chief executive Rajeev Suri confirmed that Nokia will return to designing and licensing its own phones. The CEO said, “Microsoft makes mobile phones. We would simply design them and then make the brand name available to license.” Nokia did the same licensing of its name for the Nokia N1 Android tablet which was a mild success.
Microsoft has restricted Nokia from selling phones under its brand name until the third quarter of 2016. And on the 4th quarter of 2016 we’re sure to see a launch of Nokia device or devices. These devices are likely to be mid-range and would follow the Nokia’s build concept with some minor improvements. But we’re still unsure if the devices will be running on android or windows. Nokia could be working on an OS of its own like the Symbian. Rumors stat that Nokia has been working on not only phones but also tablets and virtual reality. We may soon observe the rise of Nokia once more, for that we’ll just have to wait and watch.

So this is a big news in the smartphones market, as one of the oldest tech giant is returning back to the game and with pretty serious motive and improvements. We’re sure that Nokia won’t let us down with it’s come back with the latest line-up of Nokia products. People haven’t lost faith in Nokia yet so there’s still a pretty good chance that Nokia will survive in the smartphone market.

Micromax Canvas Sliver 5 Launched in India

Yesterday, we told you that Micromax will be launching a new flagship and here it is– Micromax Canvas Sliver 5 launched in New Delhi couple of hours ago. On the launch event, the company stipulates the Canvas Sliver 5 as the thinnest phone ever with a 5.1 mm thickness end to end, with no protruding camera lens like on Oppo R5 (4.9 mm thickness) and Vivo X5 Max( 4.8 mm thickness). The phone weighs just 97 gm, which could also be the thinnest phone ever.

Priced at INR 18,000 in India, the phone comes with 4.8-inch (1280 x 720 pixels) AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC, 2GB RAM, 16GB inbuilt storage which unfortunately cannot be expanded via microSD card slot.
The Canvas Sliver 5 sports an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with Sony IMX219 CMOS sensor and LED flash. It also has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.  Because of its thin body, the Canvas Sliver 5 only boasts a 2000mAh battery. The phone runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop and supports single 4G LTE  nano SIM card.

Micromax Canvas Sliver 5 Specifications:

SIM Nano SIM); 4G LTE
DISPLAY 4.8 ’’AMOLED; 720*1280 pixels
MEMORY 16 GB (No microSD card slot)
RAM 2 GB DDR3
PROCESSOR 1.2 GHz quad-core processor

DIMENSIONS 141.9mm × 68.1mm × 5.1mm
WEIGHT 97 grams
PRICE  INR.18,000 ~NPR. 28,800

At first impression, the phone looks gorgeous and super thin, but the lack of microSD card slot coupled up with an average hardware specs could be a deal breaker; especially looking at the price tag of INR.18,000.
