Now, head on to the YouTube page, then click the EditThisCookie button in the toolbar then select the VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE tab.

Then delete the text in value field and replace it with the following text: Q06SngRDTGA
Now click the green check icon and refresh the page.

For Firefox:

LG Nepal silently launches G3 Stylus for Rs.29,999

Cg digital, the authorised distributor of LG smartphones in Nepal, silently launches G3 Stylus. The pricing of the phone is at Rs. 29,999 and has been listed on the company’s eCommerse site.

The LG G3 Stylus features a 5.5-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) display and is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core (Mediatek MT6582 chipset) processor, coupled with 1GB of RAM. It comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage and supports expandable storage. The smartphone sports a 13-megapixel rear camera and also comes with a 1.3-megapixel front camera. The LG G3 Stylus is backed by a 3000mAh removable battery. It measures 149.3×75.9×10.2mm and weighs 163 grams. The G3 Stylus was launched in Black, Gold and White colour variants.

The phone runs on Android Kitkat 4.4.2 with LG’s new customised UI. The highlight of this phone is the Stylus pen, which can be very useful at times- especially while using sketching apps.

Specs:

5.5-inch qHD IPS (960 x 540) display
Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS
1.3GHz Quad-Core Mediatek MT6582 chipset
8GB internal memory/ 1GB RAM / MicroSD slot
13MP rear camera / Front 1.3MP
Dual SIM
Wi-fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS,
3,000mAh (removable) battery
Stylus Pen

Verdict:

The G3 Stylus is a cheaper, weak performing variant of LG G3 and misses out in terms of specs. The phone is priced considerably high at Rs.29,999 and only features a quarter HD screen, quad-core low-performing CPU, and only 1 GB of RAM considering there would be a lot of multitasking going on a phone with Stylus in it. If you are seriously considering a phone with a decent performance at this price point, then you should consider looking at LG G2, Xiaomi mi3, Samsung Galaxy E7, and Huawei Ascend G7.

Apple to use super strong Aluminium to boost new iPhone

Since the launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, several owners complaint that the device bends when a certain pressure is applied, especially while placing the phone in tight pockets. The reason for the bend is due to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus being made out of Aluminium, which is a relatively soft metal and is fairly ductile and flexible so, if enough pressure is applied, it will bend and move.

***iPhone 6 and 6 plus bent out of shape under 100lbs of pressure.***

So avoid this “Bend Gate”, Apple is planning on using 7000 series aluminium, which is used to make sports bikes and the Apple Watch Sport. According to Apple, the 7000 series aluminium is 60 per cent stronger than standard alloys.

Apple will launch the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus in September and may include an A9 chip and latest version of iOS. It is also being rumored that the Silicon Valley tech giant will launch a four-inch version of the phone called the iPhone 6C.

Wrap Up:

Smartphone market in Nepal is getting really competitive these days. Difference in some hundreds of rupees can get you a better phone compared with another. Likewise, here, the only eye catching thing about Aqua Power is its battery. Apart from that, the screen is really poor and the camera doesn’t perform so well. Whereas in the same price, you can get Colors K20 Droid with High Definition screen and 4000MAh battery with a better performing camera.

Aqua speed is a good phone looking at the overall specs, but Huawei Honor holly and Redmi 2s would be a better value for money. Aqua Star II is the best buy among the three phones, with overall balanced specs and a reasonable price with awesome free stuffs.
