Today, we saw something that no any smartphone brand of Nepal does. Samsung, for the first time, organized an event for the Tech Bloggers in Kathmandu at Old Durbar, where we discussed about different Samsung products and talked about customers’ education and awareness about benefits of Smartphones for them. Speaking at the event, representatives from Samsung said that they will be focusing more on blogging and online media presence.
The big news was the availability of the much anticipated flagship phones – Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Both these phones will be launched in the third week of April and pre-booking starts from the end of March.
Meanwhile, GadgetByte Nepal also given newly launched A-series and E-series smartphones for hands-on [Click here to see the hands on of Galaxy E7]. After using those devices, we really felt that Samsung has finally shifted from making cheap plastic phones to designing premium metallic body phones.

Moto E is unbeatable when it comes to budget smartphones. It’s an idol budget phone, looking at all the decent specs and built quality that comes with the small price tag. It is well appreciated as this small device is capable of doing a lot of basic works for day to day use.
This year, Motorola announced their second iteration of their Moto E (Economic) lineup, but they launched 2 variants- Moto G 3G and Moto G 4G. There has not been a huge upgrade in the 3G variant, but there has been some appreciable upgrade in the 4G variant.
Moto E 2nd Generation Now In Nepal
The one that is avaialble,as of now, is the 3G variant. It sports a 4.5 inch qHD display, the old Snapdragon 200 Chipset, but now has Quad core processor, 1GB of RAM and 2390mAb battery. Moto E 2nd Generation is highly praised for providing latest updates out of the box. It runs Android 5.0.2 lollipop as of now.
Although, the number of 4G users are practically zero here in Nepal, but had the 3G variant possessed specs like 4G, it would have been a killer smartphone. Overall it is still a great device, and has upgraded storage of 8GB and a front camera now, which was lacking in the Moto E 1st Generation.
MOTO E 2nd GEN PRICE IN NEPAL
You can order Moto E 2nd Generation(3G) from HotDealsNepal at the price of Rs.13,999. We soon hope to see Moto E 2nd Generation 4G variant too. Stay tuned for more updates.
YouTube is probably the most creative place on internet. People can share their creativity or other fun activity for the world to see. YouTube has been working continuously to improve the user experience on their site like by introducing the YouTube Creator Studio, Full HD video and most recently 4K. But undoubtedly the most innovative thing YouTube has introduced yet is the 360 video on YouTube which can be accessed via both YouTube website and YouTube app on Android only for now.
Mobile users can tilt their device around to adjust the point of view, while on the desktop, viewers can use their mouse to drag the video and see new angles. YouTube Creator Blog stated some of its usability as “You could let viewers see the stage and the crowd of your concert, the sky and the ground as you wing-suit glide, or you could even have a choose-your-own-adventure video where people see a different story depending on where they look. Only you know what’s possible.”
Anyone can film the immersive footage using something like the Bublcam, Ricoh Theta, Giroptic’s 360cam, IC Real Tech’s Allie, Kodak’s SP360 and upload it on YouTube. But the process is a bit tricky here, you have to run a Python script to ensure the correct metadata is applied to your video file to get YouTube to recognize the upload as a 360-degree clip but YouTube is working to automate this process. YouTube is making this feature omnipresent in every platform. So we soon hope to see more actions out of it .If you want the 360 Video experience you can check the video below:

Everyone can not afford to buy gaming laptops like Alienware 17 or the MSI GT70 2PC Dominator, which would cost you over NRs. 2,00,000. Keeping that on mind, we are going to talk about one laptop, which can work as a basic laptop as well as for gaming, although it might not be able to play the highest end games on the highest settings, but on the positive note it won’t break your bank.
Yes, I am referring to Dell’s latest Core i5 5th gen laptop that was announced few weeks ago- DELL INSPIRON 3543. Priced at Rs.67,000, it is a sleek 15.6″ inch gaming laptop with components capable of delivering some serious gaming performance for the price you’ll pay. It is one of the few laptops in its class to sport Intel’s latest generation of processor and 2GB of dedicated NVIDIA Graphics. .The 5th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU and 8GB of RAM under the hood ensures a smooth video streaming and web browsing experience and allows for better multitasking than lower end models.
Dell Inspiron 3543 is priced at Rs.70,000 in Nepal
Boasting a NVIDIA GT 820M 2GB DDR5 graphics card, Dell Inspiron 3543 can handle all the latest games with ease. However, for some very demanding games, medium settings and lower resolutions may be necessary for sufficient frame rates. There is also a Intel Hd 5500 in-build graphics for small tasks. The battery life is decent and as for its screen, it supports the same 1366 X 768 resolution as other low-cost laptops.
Specs of Dell Inspiron 3543:
Intel Core i5-5200U 3.0 GHz
8 GB DDR3L RAM
1 TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
15.6″ -Inch Screen
NVIDIA Geforce GT820M with 2GB DDR3 VRAM
Windows 8.1
DVD RW
Webcam
At CAN infotech 2015, we also saw the new Asus Zenbook with 5th gen Core i5 processor, Full HD display and NVIDIA 840M 2GB graphics card. Have a look at the hands-on video as well:
Google street view is probably the best option for people to sit on their couch and virtually visit incredible places. Street view is basically the 360 view of the place made with photo sphere or by combining panoramas.
Google’s latest trek to Nepal and the surroundings of Mount Everest has resulted in mesmerizing photos of the area and on Thursday released those shots on street view of Google maps. On this trek with Google, the team of Apa Sherpa (Who holds the world record for reaching the summit of Mount Everest 21 times) and his Apa Sherpa Foundation along with Story Cycle was present. The images aren’t just of the massive mountain but of the communities that surround it as well.
“Partnering with Google Maps allowed us to get important local landmarks on the map and share a richer view of Khumbu with the world, including local monasteries, lodges, schools and more, with some yaks along the way”– Sherpa writes over at Google Maps’ blog.
Step By Step Procedure for using the Google Street View: -You need to have Google Maps app on you device. If you are on pc, you can access it from https://maps.google.com -Type the place you want to see in the search bar. For eg: We searched for Namche Bazaar. Then press the white tab that is seen on the bottom of the screen.
-After you press the white tab, you’ll see a screen same as shown below: if that location has street view option, you can select and see it.
With apple launching the new MacBook Retina Display, people praised the product for its built and the way it looks. But critics began to underlook the product because of its single USB port. This port was named as USB Type-C (USB 3.1) and this single port is used for both data transfer via USB and charging as well. This somehow created an outrage among the users because of the inconvenience of a single port. But recently Google announced that all of its future products will be equipped with USB Type-C and its going to transform the gadgets as we know them. So do you see USB Type- C as the future of USB?
[socialpoll id=”2257957″]
Let us see the key features of the USB Type-C: -It’s reversible, so you can plug it in either way. So no more mistakes while inserting the charger inside the USB port. -It can transfer data at up to 10 Gbps which is twice faster than our normal USB Type-B. -It can deliver bi-directional power. It can be used to charge a host device, or it can allow the host device to charge a peripheral. -It can supply a lot of power in both direction. It can deliver power at up to 100 watts at 20 volts in both direction, which means your laptop will get charged faster as well as your smartphone while charging via the USB Type C port. -It can also deliver data and power simultaneously. -It will also be able to deliver audio and video signals via DisplayPort technology. -You can use it with the old ports that are already all around you (if you get an adapter). -It’s tiny, so it’ll help the devices get thinner and lighter.
