We had a small Q&A with the product manager of NEO. Here’s the video:
We might be skeptical about these NEO products and its fair enough. Though NEO offers very good pricing but these product needs to be tested and user opinions should come along to prove whether NEO tablets are worth buying or not.
Yes , Acer at CAN Info Tech 2014 has a wonderful superb Convertible Laptop/Tablet called the “R7” looks very mean like the Audi R8 .The Acer R7 is priced at Rs.1,65,000
The Mercantile which is the authorized distributor of Acer product in Nepal has a new eye catching Laptop/Tablet called the ACER Aspire R7 . The Acer Aspire R7’s unique hinge suggests that it might directly compete with PC tablets and small convertibles, but a glance at the Acer’s size dispels that notion. This is a large ultrabook with a 15.6” display, and as such, it feels like a small all-in-one rather than a road warrior. Once your expectations are adjusted, however, the laptop is likely to exceed them. Every surface feels solid and the design, though basic, is sleeker and more attractive than most sub-$1,000 ultra books.

The hot news from CAN is from the title sponsors SUBISU, who have launched the idea and a demo of “IpTV” in Nepal.
Leading provider of Cablenet and also a major ISP, SUBISU plans to launch this IPTV very soon (around April). This is a very welcoming news to all of us, since the dangles of cables for watching TV will be fargone with this concept. With this service one could easily watch any channel of their choice on the go! And don’t worry, this service will work under any internet provider: ADSL, Broadlink, WORDLink, etc i.e. you don’t have to have Internet services from SUBISU ( but you’ll need to subscribe to IPTV service, of course! )
SUBISU says, YOU WILL NOT NEED A ‘CABLE’ TO WATCH TV!
Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is a system through which television services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over a packet-switched network such as the Internet, instead of being delivered through traditional terrestrial, satellite signal, and cable television formats.
The Internet protocol-based platform offers significant advantages, including the ability to integrate television with other IP-based services like high speed Internet access and VoIP. In a typical TV or satellite network, using broadcast video technology, all the content constantly flows downstream to each customer, and the customer switches the content at the set-top box. The customer can select from as many choices as the telecoms, cable or satellite company can stuff into the “pipe” flowing into the home. A switched IP network works differently. Content remains in the network, and only the content the customer selects is sent into the customer’s home. That frees up bandwidth, and the customer’s choice is less restricted by the size of the “pipe” into the home. This also implies that the customer’s privacy could be compromised to a greater extent than is possible with traditional TV or satellite networks.
Technical Representiveof SUBISU, Mr. Ravi gave his time to chat with Gadgetbyte today. He said,” This is a concept where anybody who has an internet connection can watch TV on their TVs, Tablets or even Smartphones. All it takes is downloading an app or setting up a Box”. According to him, this service could be availed through two ways:
By downloading an app (On the go)
By setting up a box (For home usage)
These apps could be downloaded from the OS marketplace and anybody could watch TV even over 3G after subscribing to SUBISU’s IPTV Service. But those who want to avail these services at home or don’t have a SMART TV could simply set-up a box and enjoy this service. These channels will be hosted by SUBISU’s local server so one shouldn’t be wary of Speed or buffer limits. He says that the channels will practically be buffer-free!
This is a pretty welcoming news, however we couldn’t get any information over the pricing! SUBISU plans to announce prices at the time of launch but says the prices will be in competitive range.
Want to see this “futuristic” idea yourself? Well, head in to CAN Infotech in the main dome and i don’t think we’ll need to navigate you to SUBISU, you’ll find them on the center stage!

Looking same like a sports watch Samsung has introduced a Gear which makes life easier and helps connecting people with lots of ease. This device has opened a new chapter, a new direction and an existing world of possibilities. It is a engineering marvel and something that redefines tomorrow.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear comes in six colors including vivid yellow and orange versions. With an aluminum face and a rubber wrist strap which is adjustable, it feels really comfortable much more premium. The Samsung Galaxy Gear has 1.63” super Amoled display with the resolution of 320 X 320 pixel. It has 800 MHz single core processor with 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of internal storage and 315 MaH battery. The strap has very delicately placed 1.9 MP camera and speakers is placed on the clasp used to lock the gear in the wrist. On the left side of the watch (gear) there is button which is the home button / S-voice activator (this option is changeable) and followed below the home button there is a microphone. Every part of the gear has been beautifully engineered. The Galaxy gear is provided with a charging dock which has a micro USB charging port. The gear is connected using the latest Bluetooth technology 4.0. The gear is constructed with gyroscope and accelerometer so that the gear can respond to the gestures and moments of the user.
With the intelligent camera placement in the gear it has made a whole lot easier for the user to capture moments and that just in a swipe touch. The placement of the speaker and microphone is positioned so arithmetically that it is the same as picking a virtual phone into our ear. Samsung Gear takes around 90 min to fully charge and has the lifespan of 25 hours which is a kind of disappointing. The Bluetooth range is good, the user got around 150 meters before the Gear buzzes like an electronic tag to notify us that the Gear has gone too far from the phone.
Here’s the Video review of the Samsung Galaxy gear :
The Samsung Gear is totally controlled by the Samsung gear manager which is installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note III. At the time of writing this review, the Samsung Galaxy Gear is only compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 but Samsung has promised to add the Samsung Galaxy S4 , Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II (via software update) by the end of October.

Chinese Smartphones are gathering a lot of attention in Nepalese Market mainly because it offers trifling price with worthy specification. Every users can’t afford to splash the cash on high end smartphones like the magnificent Samsung Note3 or stylish the HTC one or the undisputed Xperia Z1.
The Colors K2 is the company’s latest flagship phone. The phone got our attention from the Gionee Elife E6, a Chinese company penetrating Indian market recently . Colors claim that Gionee are their vendors for phones.
With a Full HD screen, Quad core processor, 2 GB RAM& a 13MP camera, Is Colors K2 the best Android smartphone in its price range(Rs.23500)? We find out in our detailed review.
Don’t forget to checkout the video review below:
Colors K2 Review
Design
The Colors K2 Pearl Black has a premium unibody design with a polycarbonate build. We were really surprised with its glossy unibody form factor and slim design, not usually seen in mid-range smartphones.
However, there is no access to open the back panel, therefore no access to the battery, which might be disappointing for users who want to use an extra battery in case they need one.
Display
The Colors K2 Pearl Black features a 5-inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. It has a IPS screen based on One Glass Solution (OGS) technology with a Gorilla Glass 3 layer for protection. The screen looks bright and lively, looking exceptionally good and sharp as well. However, color saturation will look to be faded. Viewing angles looks good. Overall the screen is brilliant.
User Interface
The Colors K2 Pearl Black runs a slightly tweaked version of Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. Some of us may like Stock android experience, but Colors preferred to add their own customized UI on the top of Android.
There is no Official news for Kitkat 4.4, the latest version of Android. That’s a worrying factor for many customers because they want to live with a dream of using the latest software as soon as possible. Hopefully, Colors will come with the official news on Kitkat 4.4
Hardware
The colors K2 Pearl Black is powered by a 1.5GHz Mediatek MT6589T quad-core processor and a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. It has 2GB RAM with a 32GB of internal storage (23GB user available). There is no microSD card slot, which is in fact a big disappointment for users who want to store Movies and pictures in large magnitude. The device is powered with 2000mah Battery, which might not be enough considering the fact that it runs a 5 inch Display.
Camera
The colors K2 Pearl Black has a 13-megapixel auto-focus camera with a second generation BSI sensor for low-light imaging. The phone comes with a modified Camera app and allows you to capture photos in HDR and Panorama modes as well.
The camera of the colors K2 Pearl Black takes good photos in day light. But the low light imaging was pretty average. Moreover, with shaky hands it captures Blurry images sometimes.
The 5-megapixel front camera also takes decent shots and is great for video calls.
The colors K2 Pearl Black have an above-average gaming performance. It can run mid-end games like Temple Run 2 , Subway Surfers, etc. with ease but you might notice slight lag and dropped frame rates while playing high end games like Mortal Combat 4, Dead Trigger 2,etc. But considering the price tag you have to forgive this kid.
The Acer Aspire R7’s unique hinge suggests that it might directly compete with PC tablets and small convertibles, but a glance at the Acer’s size dispels that notion. This is a large ultrabook with a 15.6” display, and as such, it feels like a small all-in-one rather than a road warrior. Once your expectations are adjusted, however, the laptop is likely to exceed them. Every surface feels solid and the design, though basic, is sleeker and more attractive than most sub-$1,000 ultra books.
