Motorola Moto G 2014 Price in Nepal

0

Motorola’s mid-range offering “Moto G” has always been a phone that provides good overall specs at a reasonable price. This year’s Moto G, the successor of Moto G 2013 model, is no exception. Despite the fact that Motorola (as a company) has not arrived officially in Nepal but thanks to few retailers who aims to bring some stock of MotoG and sell them at a very low profit margin.

MotoG first gen was a spectacular phone and was indeed the best all-round budget smartphone. This year’s MotoG is similar to last year’s. The screen size is now bigger with a 5 inch HD screen. The camera is bumped up from 5MP to 8MP. Otherwise, all the other specs are same-the same processor (Snapdragon 400), the same 1GB DDR3 RAM and the same battery capacity. Although this year’s Moto G only pack some improvements over the first one, but it is still a phone that delivers Bang for the Buck.

Gionee Elife S5.1 with 5.1mm Thickness to launch in Nepal

0

Teletalk Pvt. Ltd. will be launching the Elife S5.1, its slimmest phone ever, in Nepal on 1st of Poush (16th of Dec.) for an expected price of Rs.30,000. Earlier this year, Gionee claimed that the Elife S5.1 has been recognized by Guinness Book of World Records as the slimmest smartphone in the world. However, Vivo X5Max (with 4.75mm thickness) has replaced the S5.1 as the slimmest smartphone in the world.

The Specs| Elife S5.1

The S5.1 sports a 4.8 inch HD AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 * 720 pixels and comes with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The phone is powered by a 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor, supported by 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It doesn’t feature a microSD card slot. It runs on Android 4.4 Kitkat with company’s Amigo 2.0 UI. There’s an 8-megapixel rear snapper with LED flash and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. All of this is powered by a 2,050mAh battery.

What we have to say about Gionee Elife S5.1

Elife S5.1 is one of the best looking phones when it comes to design and build quality as it offers a metallic frame and glass body at just 5.1mm thickness. However, this is not a premium phone when it comes to specs and overall performance. The MediaTek MT6592 Octa Core processor and 1 GB of RAM isn’t fast enough for heavy multitasking and running high end games. Moreover, because of it’s slim figure, there is only a 2050 mAh battery which results in mediocre battery life.

If you want a stylish phone, then S5.1 is a good option. However, if you want a powerful phone at 30,000 price bracket, we would rather suggest you to go for phones like MotoG 2nd gen, Xiaomi mi3 or Huawei Honor 6.

iPhone 6 Price in Nepal (NCELL Price)

iPhone 6 Price in Nepal (NCELL Price)

Ncell, the leading telecom providers in Nepal have been bringing new products and services to the Nepalese market that, well, has a decent price. Similar approach can be seen with its newly announced Ncell iPhone plan.

WHAT IS IT?

iphone 6 price in nepal
iphone 6 price in nepal

 

Ncell iPhone plan is aimed at bringing the newest iterations of iPhone in the Nepalese market at a decent price. It primarily contains the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus with an addition of the iPhone 5S. Both the iPhones are Apple’s newest devices that aim to cater the audience which have a thing for larger screen devices. And quite frankly, iPhones needed a facelift.

WHAT’S THE DEAL?

Ncell iPhone plan, simply put, launches the iPhones (if not officially) just like they did with the nexus line-up. It consists of three plans namely:

iPhone 6 Plus

iPhone 6 plus is the large screen flagship from iPhone. At 5.5 inches it stands tall among its competitors. With features like OIS camera and a 64-bit A8 chip with M8 co-processor. iPhone 6 Price in Nepal for the 16GB model is NRs. 92,499, whereas iPhone 6 Price in Nepal for 64GB version is NRs.92,499. Booking starts from Rs. 12,000 and each iPhone 6 plus comes with 1GB data every month for 6 months by Ncell. Other details are as below:

6+

iPhone 6

iPhone 6 is a flagship phone from iPhone at 4.7 inches. It resembles to iPhone 6 plus in all ways except for a small screen size a non-OIS camera and of course, a smaller battery! Ncell plans to launch iPhone 6 in Nepal at a price starting at NRs. 81,999 for the 16 GB variant. Booking starts from Rs. 10,000 and each iPhone 6 comes with 1GB data every month for 6 months by Ncell. Other details are as below:

6

iPhone 5S

iPhone 5S is an older iPhone model that was launched last year. It shared its design with the iPhone 5S with revamped performance. All these iPhones share a similar 8 megapixels of camera with iPhone 6 plus having a better edge than the other models. It has an A7 processor with M7 co-processor on the performance side. Ncell plans to launch iPhone 5S in Nepal at a price starting at NRs. 67,199 for the 16 GB variant. Booking starts from Rs. 8,000 and each iPhone 5S comes with 300MB data every month for 6 months by Ncell. Other details are as below:

5S

 

WORTH OR NOT?

Well, it depends on various things, like Price. On the price point this seems a sweet deal since the Grey market has these phones at a higher price point. For an instance iPhone 6 Plus in Nepal is available at Rs. 1,05,000/- Comparing it with the Ncell iPhone plan, the deal looks good even without considering 1GB/month package. Other considerable point is the after-sales. Ncell has provided no clue as to how will they service their iPhone customers on repairing side. Maybe they’ll handle the repairs from their own service centers which seems quite farfetched. If Ncell has no plans for after-sales support this deal might be a bummer to some.

All in all its an Okay deal and iPhone lovers can infact benefit from this deal. I guess that’s that for now. Let us know if you opt for Ncell iPhone plan in the comments below. Cheers!

Top Emerging Nepali Apps Roundup

0

Apps have been a way around us since some time now. And in this time they have proved to be playing an integral role in our lives by handling us the power of everything in our hands. Though Nepali apps seemed to play catch-up since some time, we can proudly say that Nepalese Apps are indeed destined toward a brighter horizon. Here, I take a look at some of the emerging Nepali apps I came across and give a brief introduction about them. And yes! Nepal Loadshedding app is the best one of all!!!

So, here we go!

Yellow Nepal:

Yellow Nepal is an app that most of us are familiar by right now. This app helps you find nearby restaurants or even search them as per your mood or your favorite food. The App and Yellow founder, Anish Shrestha said that there is a lot to come in this app and is in at the constant process of development. Well, we hope and pray it is. The User Interface is quite cool and yes, the app works offline as well. There’s a map feature, you can find info about the restaurants right from the app and events and deals. Though this app has a lot to improve, we think it’s a great addition and has a very big potential to grow further.

AutoLife Nepal:

Now, there’s a chance that you’ve not heard of this before but this app has a lot to offer when it comes to giving you infos about Autos. Yes, AutoLife is all this app is about and I have to say this app packs a punch. It has all, yes all, the features you’d expect from an app like this! From finding service centers to Accessory parts to Petrol Pumps to ATMs this app promises a lot where I couldn’t but ask myself, Will this app live up to its own promises? There are so many things (yes even a blog!) in this app but this doesn’t hinder the user-experience. And the best part, you could sell or buy used vehicles without an insider commission! YES! Well, that’s a huge promise to make and its only time to find out whether the app lives up to its name or not! If it does, there’s no stopping this app and the best way to find starts with downloading this app from the links below.

 

SCT Moco:

SCT (SmartChoice Technologies) are one of the leaders in electronic card payment system here in Nepal. And with the introduction of the Moco, well, this thing has huge potentials!

The Moco stands for Mobile Commerce and focuses primarily on on-the-go payment services. But it gets better, it has a better and efficient system for managing your payments. Unlike e-Sewa or other payment networks, SCT Moco is an all-in-one payment gateway. If you’ve ever heard of Coin, well this is the Nepali version of that. You can manage your SCT cards all at same place and use them to pay your Utility bills or Recharge Cards or even use it to shop on other sites. This is what makes it better. And because this app works in unison with the SCT, its like having a payment gateway, altogether! And all you need is an internet connection! (Of course)

Blood Donation

Well, this is an awesome app for emergencies. I put this app in the list of top apps because of the service and user-orientation of the app. This app serves emergencies well and you can do stuffs like finding a donor, finding blood, or even donating one, for the cause! It’s a bold step forward and a big move in helping the people in need and it goes on amplifying the needs and possibilities to what an app can serve us to! Hats down to the developers for that.

 

nLocate

nLocate promised to be one-stop app for all the location based search services but couldn’t live up to the hype! But they’re starting again fresh and revamped! They have started a service-based search rather than an institution-based which, frankly, was the most important thing that this app lacked! It also has a revamped user interface and promises to live up and fulfill your search demands now on! (No revamped UI available as of now)

Have you downloaded any of these apps?

Let us know how you think of these apps in the comments below! Cheers!

What is Wifi Direct and how does it work?

0

A few years ago, we transferred music and photos via Bluetooth or Infrared but the transmission rate was not pleasing. It could take hours to transfer movies and sucked a lot of energy from the battery. But now, there is a technology called “Wi-Fi Direct” that helps us to transfer any kind of files between 2 devices using your Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Direct is arguably present in almost all the smartphones and laptops right now. It is way faster than Bluetooth and consumes very little energy from your battery.

Wi-Fi Direct also doesn’t require wireless access points like Router to connect two devices. So if you are outside your home and you need to share a file, Wi-Fi Direct would be your ideal choice. Wi-Fi Direct devices also use WPA2 encryption, which is the most secure way of encrypting Wi-Fi.

wifi direct

Wi-Fi Direct is supposedly invented to be a standard that allows multiple types of devices supporting the Wi-Fi Direct standard to communicate with each other, this hasn’t really happened just yet. For example, there is no easy way to connect an Android smartphone to a Windows laptop. However, you can easily transfer files between two Android Devices or between two Windows laptop.

For sharing any file using Wi-Fi Direct, go to file manager->long press on that file and click share. Click on Wi-Fi Direct- and select the desired device.

Nokia N1 : iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0

0

Its a big surprise move, Nokia just unveiled an entry into the Android market with the Nokia N1 tablet and this can one of the best surprises for tablet users.

Nokia announced the Nokia N1, which is the  first Nokia-branded Android tablet. The Nokia N1 offers the innovative, predictive Nokia Z Launcher interface, and a carefully crafted industrial design by Nokia with a focus on simplicity.

Comparing Nokia N1 with iPad Mini

Nokia’s N1 is almost an identical  piece to the rear of the iPad mini. The placement of the camera, buttons, and headphone jack a bit in different position that of the iPad mini. Looking at the bottom of the device  it has the same speaker grills as of the ipad mini and what looks like a Lightning port is actually one of the first implementations of the reversible Type-C USB connector.Nokia’s N1 display is fully laminated, unlike the iPad mini 3, and the N1 is just 6.9mm thick and 318 grams in weight, both thinner and lighter than Apple’s offering.

The only things completely different than the iPad mini look are a home button, chamfered edges, and an Apple logo. There’s even “Natural Aluminum” and “Lava Grey” color schemes, and a cover that looks very much similar to Apple’s Smart Case. Unlike the majority of Android tablets on the market, the tablet will run a stock version of the latest Android Lollipop software. (If you want to know if your smartphones will get Android Lollipop update : Click the Link)

The Nokia N1 also takes advantage of Lollipop’s 64-bit support, which is packed in as a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor paired with a 2GB RAM. The tablet included with 32GB storage with no room to expand via microSD.

Taking tips from the iPad Mini, the Nokia N1 packs a 7.9in 2,560×1,536 IPS LCD display which sports a protective layer of Gorilla Glass and Nokia’s zero air gap technology. The Nokia N1 has a large 5300mAh battery which can made a guess that the battery life will also be a strong feature of this tablet.

Nokia’s new tablet will support the older and slower USB 2.0 standard rather than the latest USB 3.1.

Nokia has its “predictive Nokia Z Launcher” as a default Launcher. Previously, the company had released the limited pre-beta version of the Z Launcher app via the Z Launcher website in June. But now Nokia Z Launcher has been out for Android 4.1 and Higher Released which has been on Google Play.

The Nokia N1 will go on sale in China in or around February 2015, priced at around $250 (before taxes). It will then roll out to some countries in Europe and Russia. No word on whether it’s coming to the US — but given now the Nokia brand is much more recognizable/valuable on that side of the Atlantic, I wouldn’t be a surprise if we also have to wait a long time.
