LG has officially announced a new smartphone, LG V10, which sports a second screen above the primary 5.7-inch QHD display. The second screen acts as a companion with an “always on” capability to show the weather, time, date and battery when the main display is off. It shows shortcuts to your favorite apps and new notifications when the main display is on. The phone is available for Rs.75,000 in Nepalvia online store M.K.Tradeline.
Apart from that, the LG V10 features 5MP Dual Front Cameras with two separate lenses to capture standard 80 degree selfies or perfect wide angle selfies of 120 degrees, without the need to pan the smartphone which increases the likelihood of camera shake. For the wide angle shot, the V10 employs a sophisticated software algorithm to combine images from the two separate lenses which are just far enough apart to provide two different points of view. The ability to take group selfies without a selfie stick has never been easier. Multi-view Recording can capture different angles utilizing all three camera- as on the V10. Select and insert the version that looks best in your masterpiece.
As far as the design goes, the V10’s frame is composed of SAE grade 316L stainless steel, with “resilient but soft Dura Skin” on the back and bottom of the phone. The company says the combinations of these materials will protect the display of the phone from hard bumps and tumbles.
The V10 features 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC by ESS Technology for high quality sound output and is the first commercial device to utilize Qualcomm Technologies TruSignalTM antenna boost technology designed to intelligently optimize signal strength at all times for fewer dropped calls, faster data and better call coverage, no matter how the phone is held.

Google just announced LG Nexus 5X smartphone in an event in San Francisco. The new Nexus 5X designed and manufactured by LG is one of two Android phone released. The other released Nexus 6P is slightly bigger at 5.7-inch than the Nexus 5X which stands 5.2-inch tall. The phone comes with three colors option of Carbon, Quartz, and Ice and is made of Premium injection molded polycarbonate housing.
The Nexus 5x is available in Nepal for Rs.45,000 for the 16GB model and Rs. 50,000 for the 32GB model from online store M.K.Tradeline.
Nexus 5X Display and Build
Nexus 5X has a dimension of 147 x 72.6 x 7.9 mm and weighs just 136 g. Not as light as the iPhone 6, but better than the Nexus 6 which was 189 gm. It sports a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD display with a resolution of 1080 by 1920. The screen is covered with a layer of Gorilla Glass 3, which saves you from breaking your Nexus Device’s screen. The fingerprint scanner is on the back just below the camera to complement the way you naturally hold your phone.

Nexus 5X Camera
Its cameras seem to have improved now with a 5 MP snapper on the front and a 12.3 MP shooter on the back. In the press release of the Nexus 5X, Google claimed that the camera was able to take best ever selfie’s and best low lighting images, who then showed some sample picture in the release event. The camera sensor with a f/2.0 aperture and 1.55 micron pixel size but lacks OIS but is nevertheless had the ability to shoot 2160p video.
Nexus 5X Power and performance
The boost of Qualcomm® Snapdragon 808™ SoC with Adreno 418 GPU and 2 GHz hexacore 64-bit processor coupled with 2GB of RAM makes a really quality in terms of processing speed. Powering is a 2700 mAh non-removable battery, which stays awake at least for a day long. We have got a USB type C charger port with fast charging too. The phone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Nexus 5X Storage
The internal storage option to buy the Nexus 5X is either 16GB or 32GB with no option to expand it via microSD card. We thought the new Nexus devices would support microSD card since Android 6.0 Marshmallow supports microSD card encryption and with the storage that low, microSD would have helped expand the memory. This could be the major letdown for the potential buyers

Evo Store, DurbarMarg has introduced two new wireless headphones from JBL — E40BT and E50BT. The American audio electronics company offers decent sound quality, great battery life and is comfortable to use.
JBL headphones are not popular in Nepal due to its price in the market. But still Evo store has created this opportunity for headphone lovers. Also it can be said that its a good chance for people who want to buy JBL headphones in Nepal and are choosy with headphones to grab it.
The only question mark is, Is this head phone as good to spend Rs. 12,000 to 16,500 in context to Nepal. There may be 2 sides of this story. One from the end of medium class people who will put a frown on their face to see the price. But the people willing to spend this amount for this JBL headphones, and yes that can be a great choice too.
JBL E50BT weighs 285gms and offers better listening experience than E40BT
JBL E40BT weighs 204gms and has inferior depth and warmth than the E50BT
Though there is a slight difference in size of these two products, the quality of sound produced by these two are almost the same. When we listened to the audio file which was 128 kbps in both of the headphones we were not able to spot that much of difference experience. But higher the bit rate we can be able to spot difference in your hearing experience. But you may want to Evo Store (with Audio higher bit rate audio files) to hear a better Sound experience. I would also recommend hearing soundscape with these headphones for good sound experience.
These both headphones are powered by rechargeable battery that offers a battery life of 18 Hrs. Though, they can also be played by an external wire, without using the battery. The headphones are wireless as well. That means they can be played via Bluetooth and is compatible with both iOS and Android. They don’t need Bluetooth connectivity if they are played through wire.

World popular social networking site Facebook has entered into the virtual world. It announced the support of 360-degree videos. With this step, Facebook showed that it can also enter into the world of VR (Virtual Reality).
Actually, Facebook had already announced last year that it invested two billion dollars for Oculus VR. Thats why this news is not a surprise at all. Even the 360 video technology is not a surprise for the world, because youtube had already announced it some months back.
How can you play it?
Just open the 360 video in your smartphone and rotate your device in right-left, up-down, forward-backward, or in any direction you want. However, you can use your mouse to play it in your PC. It works more accurately in smartphones, especially in Android-based devices. iOS users, however, cannot experience it now as Facebook has planned for it in next few months.
Here is a sample 360 degree video from Discovery: LINK
