Noise — the Indian OEM brand — is here with yet another smartwatch. This time the company has added a bit more of a personal touch with a custom chipset and UI. In this article, we will discuss the latest Noise Origin smartwatch along with its special features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.
Noise Origin Overview
Design and Display
The Noise Origin looks pretty standard in terms of design with its circular chassis. It has tiny grooves around the display and has a button and crown for navigation. The smartwatch case is made of stainless steel while the strap choices include silicone and leather. It is also quite durable with IP68 dust and water resistance and can endure being sunken into depths of up to 3 metres.
On the front, the watch houses an AMOLED display with a 1.46-inch circumference. Meanwhile, the screen resolution of the Noise Origin is 466 x 466 pixels. The company also mentions a 20% wider colour gamut, however, it does not mention which or the total number of colour gamut. The watch ships in six different colour options: Mosaic Blue, Jet Black, Silver Grey, Midnight Black, Classic Black, and Classic Brown. Herein the latter two are leather strap options.
The new Processor and UI
Before the release of Noise Origin, the company announced their custom processor as well as UI. This chip of theirs is called the “EN 1” while the UI is dubbed the “Nebula UI”.
As per sources, this chipset offers 30% improved performance, but it does not mention with which other chip the comparison is drawn. Likewise, the UI comes with an updated layout and icons along with notification organisation capabilities.
With the combination of the EN 1 chipset and the new Nebula UI, the watch offers a smooth and seamless user experience — complete with haptic feedback from an in-built linear motor.
Despite having a new processor and UI, the phone seems to miss out on one of the most sought-after smartwatch features i.e. Bluetooth calling. However, it does display the caller’s information and allows to reject the calls. The Noise Origin relies on Bluetooth v5.3 for wireless connection with your smartphone and is compatible with devices running iOS 11.0 or Android 9.0 and later.
Other than that, this thing comes with standard health monitoring, and smartwatch features like AI voice assistant, stopwatch, alarm, calculator, music control, and so on. Noise claims that Origin can last a week on typical usage and a month on standby. Similarly, they also mention the charging time of two hours where the watch gains 45% battery in just 30 minutes.

Gorilla Glass is one of the most sought things when looking at the specs of a mobile phone. And from the budget to the flagship phones, this display protection is equally popular. Now we have a new iteration of the glass which goes by the name, Gorilla Glass 7i, specially designed for midrange and affordable smartphones. Here in this article, let’s learn more about Corning Gorilla 7i.
Corning Gorilla Glass 7i Overview:
Improved Strength and Resistance
The new Corning Gorilla Glass 7i can survive drops on the surface replicating asphalt from a height of up to one meter. This feat was achieved during the lab tests. To compare, an aluminosilicate glass can crack at a much lower height of 0.5 meters or less. Not just drop, but this new glass has also improved scratch resistance. Corning claims its strength to be two times that of lithium aluminosilicate cover glasses.
Will replace Gorilla Glass 3
If you are not aware already, most of the budget midrange phones have Gorilla Glass 3. And it was introduced way back in 2016. So, finally, we’ll get to see a new Corning Gorilla Glass in the market with improved strength and resistance.
Corning Incorporation is an American multinational technology company based in Corning, New York with a primary focus on glass, ceramics, and advanced optics. It has a century-old history as it was established in 1851 AD, 173 years ago. Apart from smartphone glass protection, it also produces general labware, microbiology equipment, bioprocess vessels, specialty surfaces, and such.
Corning Gorilla Glass 7i Launch and Availability
The Corning Gorilla Glass 7i is set to debut on an Oppo phone. Other brands are also speculated to use this screen protection in the coming times.

And to keep things fair, I’ve kept the volume and brightness levels on all of them at 50%. While I’ve also disabled auto brightness and any high-performance settings you may find on some of the Android phones.
Test 1: Playing HDR videos
So I started things off nice and easy by playing an HDR video on YouTube. I’d kept all the settings the same on these phones, the iPhone dimmed the brightness level right away for some reason. I can assure you that the phone wasn’t overheating at the beginning of the test, while the room I’m in has a perfectly comfortable air-conditioned indoor temperature as well. I even tried re-configuring the entire test setup to see if I did anything wrong — but nope — the iPhone 15 Pro Max simply refused to get brighter.
Okay, let’s get started now. First I did a YT video playback test. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence but literally all the phones with “Pro” in their name lost 3% charge only except for the iPhone 15 Pro Max which finished second with 96%, same with the OnePlus 12. Whereas the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the Galaxy S24 Ultra sat with 94% and 92% battery, respectively.
Test 2: Benchmarking
For the next test, I ran everyone’s favorite benchmarking app: AnTuTu. So one of the things I really like about AnTuTu is that it covers a wide gamut of workloads. Including some that work up the CPU, the GPU, memory usage, and also stuff like photo and video processing for a comprehensive view of a phone’s overall performance.
And after a single AnTuTu run, can you guess which phone is now in the first place?
The OnePlus 12!! It went past every other phone to finish the benchmark the fastest, while also draining the least amount of battery. Apple, Honor, and Google were fighting for the second spot with 90% juice, although I’m a little surprised to see how the Vivo X100 Pro went from being one of the most power-efficient phones in the first test to the least efficient one this time.
And things weren’t looking good for the Ultras this time either, considering how Xiaomi and Samsung were once again at the bottom of the table.
Test 3: Instagram Reels
Alright. The next stop is some Instagram Reels now. Exactly 1 hour into playing random reels on Instagram and I was genuinely shocked by how the Pixel 8 Pro lost 13% battery here. That’s almost twice as much as what the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Honor Magic 6 Pro drained, which are tied for the first spot with 83% battery. I’m not sure if you’ve been keeping track but Apple and Honor have been in a close contest right from the beginning.
A little hint though, no iPhone does not win, so stick till the end to find out which does!
Anyhow, the OnePlus 12 was sitting with 81% charge at the moment, followed by the Vivo X100 Pro at 79%. The S24 Ultra, on the other hand, was at 77% like the Pixel 8 Pro, whereas I felt like Xiaomi needed some miracle to bounce back in the competition now because it’s at dead last position with 76% battery remaining in the tank.
Test 4: 3DMark Wildlife Extreme Stress Test
Next up, I ran 3DMark’s Wildlife Extreme Stress Test. This 20-minute-long benchmark is a great indicator of a phone’s high-end gaming performance since it renders a complex 3D scene multiple times in a row. And as you’d expect, it turns up the heat by quite a bit too.
And because of that, Xiaomi couldn’t complete the benchmark at all. I even gave it 2 more chances to cool down and restarted the test, but no, it didn’t work!
And sadly, at the end of 20 minutes, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra somehow also had the least amount of battery. While Honor has fi…nally managed to gain a comfortable lead over the iPhone. With 79% battery left, compared to the iPhone’s 75%.
Test 4: More Insta Reels
Okay, guess what time is it? It’s time for more Instagram Reels!
So fast forward to one hour later, the Magic 6 Pro continued its lead with 70% battery, although I was really happy to see how the iPhone was trying to catch up with 68% juice. The Pixel 8 Pro took the third spot with 64% battery, next to the OnePlus 12 and the S24 Ultra at 63%, the Vivo X100 Pro at 62%, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra at 59%.
Test 5: 4K Video Recording
Next up, I ran a 60-minute 4k video recording test because in all phones, cameras are the thing that drains a lot of battery.
And like half an hour into the recording, Xiaomi gave up after overheating yet again. I’d got a bunch of other demanding tests lined up — which I’m sure this guy won’t be able to handle — so unfortunately, I had to discontinue the Xiaomi 14 Ultra from here on out.
Sorry, Xiaomi.
Anyway, back to the topic, after the video recording test, the Honor Magic 6 Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the Pixel 8 Pro all lost exactly 20% charge after all this time. At least the OnePlus 12 had a tiny 1% lead over the S24 Ultra now, while the Vivo X100 Pro is parked at the bottom of the table after losing a whopping 31% battery in my video recording test.
Test 6: Lightweight tasks
Let’s go back to some lightweight tasks now… like streaming videos on Facebook of all places and exactly one hour later, the Magic 6 Pro shows no signs of giving up on its momentum with 42% battery left, followed by the iPhone’s 37%, the Pixel 8 Pro’s 30%, the OnePlus 12’s 28%, and the S24 Ultra’s 26%. Whereas it almost feels like Vivo is barely hanging on now with just 21% battery to spare.
You guys still with me? Okay.
Test 7: Another Wildlife Test
So let me go ahead with another Wildlife Extreme Stress Test, and by the end, the only new development I could see is that Samsung has closed that 1% gap with OnePlus. With 16% battery remaining on both phones.
Test 8: How about some more benchmarks?
Wait a second… I just realized something.
Now, I want to do a few more benchmark tests, but this time, CPU-focused ones which is why I’ll turn to Geekbench 6 next. This one is slightly lighter, so I am expecting it to not heat up the phones that much.
And here, Honor is happily enjoying its sit at the top of the table with a 30% charge, next to the iPhone and the Pixel 8 Pro which have 26% and 17% battery, respectively. Samsung and OnePlus are once again at a stalemate with 14% juice, while Vivo has dropped to 7%.
I thought another round of AnTuTu would be enough to kill the VIVO X100 Pro now, but somehow it’s still holding on with a 3% charge left, whereas the OnePlus 12 has managed to one-up the S24 Ultra by 1%… one more time.
Test 9: More Extreme Test
So I went ahead with a few more rounds of that Extreme Stress Test, where I managed to completely drain the battery of a few phones. And you better brace yourself because here comes the biggest plot twist in the history of plot twists.
Now, you might be thinking the Vivo X100 Pro died first, right? But, the S24 Ultra shut down way before Vivo? Even the OnePlus 12 died before it, actually. Sick!
So the S24 Ultra’s final screen time came down to 6 hours and 56 minutes, versus 7 hours and 2 minutes on the OnePlus 12, while the X100 Pro outlasted them both to record a total screen time of 7 hours and 7 minutes. The Pixel 8 Pro eventually gave in as well to secure the bronze medal, lasting 7 hours and 15 minutes total.
Flagship Phones Battery Drain Test: Who’ll win?
Which means it was all down to the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the Honor Magic 6 Pro to win this battery drain test. And I had to sit through two more rounds of stress tests before I finally had the winning phone. I guess you probably have a good idea which phone came out on top by now and you’d be right, it’s the Honor Magic 6 Pro. It lasted 7 hours and 49 minutes before giving up, which is just 6 minutes longer than the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Flagship Phones Battery Drain Test: Conclusion
Okay, that’s all for this battery drain test. Here’s a quick recap. So the Honor Magic 6 Pro had the best battery life, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Pixel 8 Pro, Vivo X100 Pro, OnePlus 12, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

And coincidentally, the Magic 6 Pro also has the biggest battery of them all. Whereas it’s also the only one with a silicon-carbon battery instead of a lithium-ion one, which is known for its higher energy density and efficiency.
Obviously, battery life isn’t the only thing you need to consider before buying a phone, but I really hope this test has been helpful to you to some degree at least.

Qualcomm is thinking about working with two different companies to make its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. These companies are Samsung Electronics and TSMC. This news came from Qualcomm’s CEO during a talk at a hotel in Taipei, Taiwan. Let’s dive in this article to learn more about the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Chipset.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Chipset Rumors
Why Use Two Companies?
Qualcomm wants to avoid problems that can happen if they rely on just one company to make all their chips. Using two companies will help keep their business stable. Right now, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip will be made only by TSMC. But with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, Qualcomm might start using both Samsung and TSMC.
Working with Samsung Again
Qualcomm has noticed that Samsung’s new 2-nanometer (nm) process is better and more power-efficient. They have worked with Samsung before for the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips, but these had issues with overheating. This made Qualcomm switch back to TSMC for the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.
Samsung has made big improvements with its Exynos chips, like the Exynos 220 and Exynos 2400. These chips are now more power-efficient and perform better, showing that Samsung’s chip-making process has improved a lot.
Future Possibilities
Samsung’s success with its 3nm process and future 2nm and smaller nodes is important for Qualcomm’s dual-sourcing plan. Qualcomm wants to keep Samsung as a backup option while mainly working with TSMC.
What’s Next?
The Qualcomm CEO talked about the dual-sourcing strategy but didn’t give many details on how it will work. We don’t know yet if Qualcomm will use different chips in different regions, like how Samsung does.
Qualcomm is thinking about working with both Samsung and TSMC for the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip might help them avoid problems and use the best new chip-making technologies. This move also raises questions about whether Samsung will continue to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips in its phones, as there were reports Samsung might switch to using only its own Exynos chips, including in the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus series received a 2024 refresh back in January and the G16 model even made its way into our borders. A whole new development has just taken place with the series, particularly the 16-inch model. Let’s further discuss the new batch of Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024) with AMD processor in this article including its price in Nepal.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 (AMD) Overview
Design and Display
Regarding design, nothing changed between the Intel and AMD variants of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024. The chassis of the laptop is still made out of CNC-machined aluminium alloy. It also has that iconic “Slash Lighting” LED array with 15 preprogrammed animations and additional customisation options. Similarly, the colourways also remain unchanged with Eclipse Grey and Platinum White choices.
On the front, we are looking at a 16-inch OLED panel with a glossy finish. It stretches 2.5K in resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio. Additionally, this screen comes with a 240Hz refresh rate, a 0.2ms response time, 500 nits peak brightness, and a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. In other words, it’s the same thing on the AMD variant of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 (AMD) as the one with an Intel processor.
Performance
Now we are finally talking difference — it’s under the hood. The main processor on this particular Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 is the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. It is a fresh-out-of-foundry silicon based on Zen 5 CPU architecture. This chip has 12 cores, 24 threads, and clocks in at a peak of 5.1GHz. Furthermore, it is coupled with AMD Ryzen AI XDNA 2 NPU which the company (AMD) claims to be the most powerful in the world. Anyhoo, with this combination the laptop is capable of up to 81 TOPS of AI performance.
Moreover, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 (AMD) also packs the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU on top of the baked-in Radeon 890M. This discrete graphics card adds to the laptop’s graphical prowess while also boosting the AI performance by an additional 321 TOPS at the 105W maximum TGP.
Other than that, it comes with up to 32GB LPDDR5X-7500 dual-channel RAM on board. This means that there is no option for memory expansion on this laptop. Likewise, it ships with up to 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD for storage. On top of that, it has an extra SSD slot that supports another 2TB unit. This laptop also packs the ROG Intelligent Cooling system which is a collection of different components to keep the thermals in check.
In the tank, it has a 90Wh battery and supports 240W or 100W of charging speed depending on the interface used. The former is achieved through a 200W AC adapter while the latter is from USB Type-C. In terms of multimedia, it comes with a 1080p FHD IR camera, a three-mic array, and a four-speaker system with two woofers and tweeters each.
The port options include two USB Type-A, three USB Type-C, an HDMI, one SD card reader (SD Express 7.0), and a 3.5mm combo audio jack. Meanwhile, for wireless connections, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 (AMD) comes with tri-band WiFi 7 and Bluetooth v5.4 support.

Screenshots have become a thing in this technological era. Be it for the texts, or some interesting info with pictures, we all have been accustomed to taking a snapshot right away. Not just for texting but screenshots have become an equally important part for those writing articles like me. Taking one on a mobile phone is pretty easy, but how to take screenshots on a laptop or a PC? I know, I know, most of the people know this but what if I tell you, there are still many people who do not know this? So, this article is for those who are looking for how to take screenshots on a laptop or PC.
How to take screenshot on laptop / PC?
Print Screen / PrtScrn Method
There are several ways of taking screenshots on a laptop and PC. But the most common measure is using the print screen method. And here’s how you can do it.
1 of 2
Seperate Print Screen key
PrintScreen on F12 Key
First up, look at the upper right part of your keyboard and you’ll notice the Print Screen key.
Then, simply press the key move your crosshair to the desired part, and take a snapshot.
If your “Print Screen” key is embedded on the Function Key, for example on the F12, then, you have to press that specific Function key and Print Screen button at the same time.
Then, the screenshot will be stored in the “Pictures” section by default, or else, you can set it to your desired drive.
You can also copy the screenshot to your clipboard and paste it directly into your social media text box.
Snipping Method
Well, the snipping method is now integrated into the Print Screen button. So, it doesn’t offer a completely different experience. Still, let’s give it a shot too:
Go to the search bar on your taskbar and search for “Snipping Tool”
You’ll find the scissor icon and open it.
Then, click on the “+” icon, and then, you can take a screenshot of the desired part of your screen.
Or else, you can press the Windows + Shift + S key at the same time for the snipping tool.
Plus, you can also set the Snipping tool shortcut on your taskbar for easy access.
Taking a screenshot on a Macbook
On an Apple MacBook or iMac, here is how you can take a screenshot:
To capture the entire screen’s snapshot, you can press Shift + Command + 3 button.
In order to capture a portion of the screen, press Shift + Command + 4 and then move the crosshair to the desired part by pressing the mouse or trackpad button.
Another way to take a screenshot on a Macbook is Shift + Command + 5, which calls up a small panel. You can find snapshot options: Capture Entire Screen, Capture Selected Window, and Capture a selected portion.

The official release date is June 20, 2024, and it is priced at USD 549.99. Although the chances of this making its way to Nepal is very slim, if by any means if it arrives here, we expect the Motorola Edge 2024 to cost at least NPR 73,000.
Ulefone offers rugged and durable devices targeted at individuals involved in heavy-duty like construction, mining, wildlife monitoring, electrical maintenance, and so on. Last month they launched a new tablet and now they are here with another such smartphone. This article will delve into the details of the Ulefone Armor 25T Pro including its price in Nepal.
Ulefone Armor 25T Pro Overview
Design and Display
This phone looks like a regular phone for the most part, but it has quite a heft to it. It measures 12.50mm in thickness and weighs 326 grams, both of which are significantly higher than a typical smartphone. The back panel of the Ulefone Armor 25T Pro has a Kevlar-esque texture, adding to its tough looks. It does not just look tough though, it — IS — tough with IP68, IP69K rating under IEC standard 60529, and MIL-STD-810H certification.
This toughness carries on to the front of the phone as well. It is equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. The screen on the Olefone Armor 25T Pro isn’t half bad either. It is a 6.78-inch IPS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution and 396 PPI pixel density. Furthermore, the display is capable of a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch-sampling rate too.
Performance
The Olefone Armor 25T Pro is a bit soft on the performance side of things. It packs the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset as its primary driver. This is a recently launched processor that sits in the budget space with 5G capabilities. Nevertheless, it has eight cores, clocks in at a maximum of 2.4GHz, and comes in a 6nm fabrication. With this, the phone should handle all the regular tasks without much hiccups. However, more demanding duties might be a “tough” ask from it.
In addition, this smartphone also comes with 6GB memory and 256GB storage combination. The RAM in here is an LPDDR4X while the storage is a UFS 2.1. Moreover, the Ulefone Armor 25T Pro offers upgradability in both departments. The memory can be doubled virtually and the storage can be expanded via a MicroSD card of up to 2TB. Software-wise, this thing boots on the stock Android 14 with no baked-in ads.
As expected from Ulefone, the Armor 25T Pro doesn’t just have cameras, it has an imaging system — complete with a thermal sensor and a night vision camera. Thanks to its high level of endurance, it is capable of underwater photo-and-videography too.
The primary shooter in this thing is a 50MP shooter with a Samsung S5KGN1 CMOS sensor. Similarly, the night vision camera is 64MP in resolution and is coupled with an OV64B1B CMOS sensor.
The sell-out feature of the Olefone Armor 25T Pro is surely its thermal imaging capability. With the ThermoVue sensor, this phone can take thermal images of 160×120 resolution and 25Hz refresh rate. It also gives an insight into the temperature object it’s pointed at with ±3°C accuracy. Meanwhile, it does not miss out on the front camera either. It is a 32MP unit with a Samsung GD1 sensor underneath and doubles down as the face scanner.
Battery and the rest
The battery life of a phone is surely one of the most sought-after features by field workers. Hence, the Olefone Armor 25T Pro packs a large 6,500 mAh battery that can last nearly 500 hours on standby. Additionally, it supports 33W wired as well as 30W wireless charging. Not only that, it can also reverse charge other devices wirelessly.
Other than that, this phone comes with a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. In terms of wireless connectivity, it supports dual SIM, 5G connectivity, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, four-way navigation, as well as NFC. On the other hand, for wired connection, it has a USB 2.0 Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
