LG G4 with laser AF camera, QHD display launched

LG has announced its new flagship smartphone, the LG G4. The company emphasizes more on its Camera specification and touts it as a professional-grade DSLR.

In addition, the G4 comes with laser AF for better focus and a new color spectrum sensor that reads RGB color and Infrared in order to recognize objects in a scene and their color. The raw data is then processed to optimize white balance and color processing.At the front, LG have opted for an 8MP sensor combined with an F2.0 aperture.

In terms of Display, LG has a new IPS Quantum Quad HD display, which is quite similar to LG G3. There is slightly unusual processor inside the LG G4- the hexacore Snapdragon 808 processor with 4 Cortex A53 Cores and 2 Cortex A57. Obviously, this processor is less powerful than the latest Octa Core Snapdragon 810, but LG says the hexacore processor is destined to save more power and will give better battery life. The phone boast a 3000 mAh battery which can be removed as well. The body of the G4 is slighty curved, nothing like the G flex 2, but the curved design means it’s easier to grab in the hands. The G4 runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system with the new human-centric UX 4.0.

LG G4 Specs:

  • 5.5-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum Display (2560 x 1440, 538 ppi)
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 system chip (Qualcomm MSM8992 )

Small IT startup Company yet with a Big Heart!

On 25th April 2015 Nepal was hit by an earthquake of 7.8 Richter scale magnitude followed by aftershocks. The earthquake claimed lives of over 6,000 Nepalese all over the country. Not to mention more than 10,000 people were injured. Frightened and scared, this catastrophe has forced many people are forced to live in open grounds. Hence, the need for relief is more than ever.

On such shortcomings, Dokobeats.com, an online movie watching website where people can watch Nepali movie at reasonable prices,  has extended its hand to provide relief to the victims. It has managed to donate  Rs. 70,000 for victims as a relief. Further, they have worked hard and collect Rs. 2,00,000. With the sum, they have supplied 900 Mineral water bottle and 250 kg of biscuits and noodles each.

Mr. Ashok Khadka, Chairman of Dokobeats, told us

“We are just a start-up and were about to launch our services. We had allocated the Rs. 70,000 for upgrading, promoting and marketing of the webapp and its services. But its more needed there than here. So we donated every penny. We hope our small effort can bring big changes in other people’s life and encourage other IT companies to do as much as they can.”

It’s really good to see small start-up companies working on philanthropic programs during such crisis. The efforts conducted by the start-up companies like Dokabeats send a  positive message to the world and we hope other big established companies will do such work in the future.

Huawei Gplay mini Hands On Review

Huawei Gplay mini Hands On Review

OUR EARLY VERDICT

Looks like the best phone to buy under NRs. 20,000 right now. A 5 inch HD screen, 64 bit Octa Core SoC with decent performance and a decent camera for a low price.

PROS CONS
-Value for Money -Emotion UI not that great
-Decent Performance -Still Runs Kitkat 4.4.2
-Good Camera -Screen isn’t the brightest

Huawei recently launched a new mid-range phone-Gplay mini for Rs.19,999 (USD $200). We had some time to play with this phone and here are our early impressions:

Design

huawei g play mini

There is nothing much going on in terms of design. The phone is made up of plastic, but feels more premium thanks to it’s textile pattern on the back. Talking about ergonomics of this phone, the phone is on a heavier side and it’s difficult to use with one hand as the phone comes with bigger bezels.

Display

Huawei Gplay mini

The Huawei Gplay mini comes with a 5 inch 720P screen. The IPS display, even though it’s a 720p resolution, has decent viewing angles and decent colour reproduction. However, the screen is not bright enough and lacks gorilla glass protection.

Interface

The Huawei Gplay mini is running the Huawei Emotion 3.0 UI on top of Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The Emotion UI is not stock, but the 3.0 version is much better than any of its previous version. However, there are still improvements to be done from Huawei in its Software UI.

Processor and Memory

The Huawei Gplay mini 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 and 8GB in-built storage. The phone storage can be further expanded via a microSD card slot up to 32GB.

Huawei Gplay mini

The Kirin 620 Chipset is somewhat similar to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 chipset seen on Micromax Yureka Yu, HTC desire 820 and Vivo X5 max. We can expect similar performance in Gplay mini with the Kirin 620. The phone during my hands on time was deprived of any lags even while multi-tasking or switching between apps. We will know more about the phone’s performance once we review the phone.

Camera

Gplay mini

The Huawei Gplay mini is capable of capturing some nice shots as it’s been equipped with a 13MP rear facing camera – and decent feature for such a low-cost device. Up front, a 5MP camera can capture excellent selfies.

The phone has 2550 mAh battery, slightly bigger than most other mid-range Huawei smartphones.Although the back is removable, but you cannot remove the battery. It has two micro SIM card slots (Both 3G) and a microSD card slot. We genuinely feel that G play mini will give tough competition to the Redmi Note and Micromax Canvas Nitro. We will be bringing you the Unboxing, Benchmarks, Camera samples and the complete review of the smartphone soon.

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.

LG-G3-Stylus

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.
