Sony a7 IV camera starts pre-order in Nepal

Sony announced the Alpha (a7) IV camera in the global market a few months back. It has now entered the Nepali market as well. This is the latest full-frame mirrorless camera in the Alpha lineup from the brand. It succeeds the Sony a7 III from 2018. In this post, we will dig into the specs, features, availability, and the official price of the Sony a7 IV in Nepal.

Sony a7 IV Overview

Design

Starting with the design, Sony a7 IV resembles a7s III in many ways. The body is magnesium alloy built with recycled plastic. This is the first Sony Alpha Camera with a dual-layer mode dial. There is a second dial lying below the main dial. It allows us to switch between slow, quick, video, and still.

There is a 3-inch fully articulating LCD monitor featuring more than 1.3 million dots. Further, it has an OLED electronic viewfinder with 1.6x the resolution of its a7 III. In addition, there is a new 33MP back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor for imaging. You can expand its ISO sensitivity up to 50-204,800.

Image Processing

The new sensor in a7 IV is combined with the BIONX XR image processor, which was previously found on the Sony Alpha 1. This allows the camera to shoot continuously at up to 10fps using AF / AE tracking. A total of 759 phase-difference AF frames cover 94% of the image area. According to Sony, Real-Time Eye AF can now track birds and animals in both still images and video. In addition, human face and eye recognition are 30% more accurate.

For video, the a7 IV can shoot up to 4k 60 frames per second in Super 35mm mode. You can also record 4k 30fps video using 7K oversampling in full-screen mode. Likewise, this camera also supports 10-bit 4: 2: 2 color sampling and intra-frame recording in XAVS SI, which was not available on its previous lineups. It also brings on the SCinetone image profile from Sony’s CinemaLine camera.

Wheels and Dials

The Sony a7 IV has excellent built quality with easy wheels and dials. It gives a good grip which is a comfortable and notable feature in cameras these days. It is also lighter which adds to the good things. You can get both front and rear control dials in the camera. The front control dial lies at the top of the handgrip which makes it easy to use them while the rear dial has been moved on the top part similar to that of A1. The latter is very easily operable and distinctly placed since it was designed for our convenience. Further, there is a third control dial integrating lock mechanism but having the primary function of exposure compensation control.

Previously, there was a name – “Rear Dial R” or “Rear Dial L” which had exposure compensation markings on it but this time it is blank and lies within the menu. It can also be reassigned to many other functions. Likewise, you can customize the top-deck rear dials and control wheel on the back, all according to yourself. The other PASM mode dial of the device remains the same as the Sony a7 III though. But, there is a new shooting mode beneath the Dial. You can control between Photo mode, Movie mode, and S&Q (Slow & Quick) mode. This avoids the accidental primary shoot mode changes.

Side Ports and Memory Card Door

The device sports a good combination of wired and wireless connectivity options. There is a full-size HDMI port, a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jacks, two different types of USB connectors, one micro USB connector, one USB Type-C port which is upgraded to a USB 3.2 Gen2 port. This offers you 10Gbps of data alongside Power Delivery. Moreover, it also supports 1000BAST-T Ethernet connection for fast FTP data transfers which helps with the live streaming function.

Moving on, for memory cards, there is a dual setup that supports two UHS-II SD cards. The top slot also supports CFexpress Type A memory cards which is much faster than the others.

Not only the screen but even the back panel gets its protection from Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. Likewise, the frame is made from aluminum which leads the weight of the phone to be around 229 grams. It measures 163.3×77.9×8.9mm in dimension and is available in seven color options – Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, Burgundy, Sky Blue, Red, and Graphite. Here, the last three colors are Samsung.com’s exclusive options.

This phone has a boxy design with a completely refined camera housing. It even supports S-pen and ships with an in-built slot for the stylus. As a matter of fact, the pen leads to 70% less latency than the pen from note S20 Ultra.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, there are two processors on the device which depends on the region you are in. For the Europe version, it is powered up with Exynos 2200 chipset based on a 4nm manufacturing process.

Samsung also promises four years of Android upgrades and 5 years of security patches.

Camera and Sound

Moving on, there is a quad-camera setup on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro: The new Gaming Beast

Nubia has unveiled a new flagship gaming series smartphone in the Chinese market. There are two smartphones in the series – Nubia Red Magic 7 and Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro. The series has some great features including the 135W flash charging capacity and a custom Red Core 1 gaming chip. Here, we will talk about the specs, features, availability, and the expected price of the Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro in Nepal.

Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro Overview

Display and Design

Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro sports a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 960Hz of the touch sampling rate. The device has Full HD+ resolution alongside 600nits of typical brightness. The pixel capacity and density here measures 1080×2400 and 387 respectively. There are some added features to the vanilla Red Magic 7 such as 100% DCI-P3 coverage, DC Dimming, 10-bit color depth, and so on. The screen here gets its protection from Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Further, there are some pressure-sensitive zones with 500Hz touch-sensing capabilities. The screen holds the front-facing camera under the display which makes it the first gaming phone with an under-display selfie shooter.

Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro display and design

The handset weighs 235 grams and embeds the dimension of 166.3×77.1×10mm. There is an Aviation aluminum middle frame here while the front and back are glass-made. There are three color options available for the model – Cyber Night, Night knight, and Deuterium Transparent Edition. The latter has the logo and lights on the turbofan whereas the other two have RGB backlighting and breathing lights on the Red Magic logo.

Performance and Memory

Powering the new gaming handset is the Qualcomm flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor based on a 4nm fabrication process. Nubia has also coupled the chipset with its own Red Core 1 chip that improves the gaming capability of the phones. This works with the shoulder trigger button by providing it 500Hz of the touch sampling rate. Further, the vibration, lighting, and sound during the games will also be enhanced with the help of mentioned chip.

Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro chipset

As per memory, you can have the RAM configuration from 12GB to 18GB and the internal storage from 128GB to 1TB of UFS 3.1. You can no further expand the latter because there is no place for a microSD card.

Cooling

There is an ICE 8.0 cooling system on the Red Magic 7 pro that leads to sustained performance. The system integrates a nine-layer heat dissipation structure accompanied by a turbofan capable of spinning at 20,000 RPM.

The new canyon air duct inside the phone also adds up as a second air inlet. Nubia claims to increase the airflow by 35% and the Core temperature thus remains 30 Celsius.

You can also buy an external Turbo Cooler if you required even better cooling. There is some theory that suggests that the extra cooling accessory can improve heat dissipation by 17% while also being 3dB quieter than other similar accessories.

Software

Over to the software front, the handset boots on Android 12 based on Nubia’s own Red Magic OS 5.0. This software brings a big improvement to the CPU, GPU, and memory. Even the Touch Choreographer brings some improvements which means there might be more stable frames per second during your games.

Red Magic 7 pro also supports 120Hz wireless projection, direct screen recording, and screen-casting. You will be allowed to record your gameplay at 120Hz in 1080p H.26 format. Moreover, the improved Game Space here allows us to tweak the performance of the phone while also optimizing the shoulder buttons.

Camera and Audio

Under the hood, there is a triple camera setup on the device. It has a 64MP primary lens with an f/1.8 aperture, 0.7-microns pixel capacity, and PDAF support. Likewise, another is an 8MP ultrawide sensor with a 120-degree field of view and a 2MP camera for macro shots. The camera module also holds an LED flash for better night shots. They can also record videos up to 8K resolution at the rate of 30 frames per second.

Upfront, there is a 16MP selfie shooter that lies optically inside the screen. Here, the video capacity limits up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. For audio, there is a loudspeaker system with stereo speakers that tunes out 32-bit/38kHz audio. You can also use a 3.5mm headphone jack for music and calls.

Battery and Extras

Fueling the device is a medium 5,000mAh battery with 135W fast charging support. Nubia claims to charge the battery 0-100% in just 15 minutes. However, if it ever launches in the global market, it will have 65W flash charging. Nubia will have 165W GaN chargers on the box which can be used to charge laptops and other devices as well.

Nepal Traffic Police can now track down fake license cards via a new mobile app

Nepal’s Government has a rule that new license holders must go through one year of probation. It was effective from June 2021 and the license holders would get a different card. And now, Nepal Traffic Police has introduced a verification mobile app to authenticate such license cards. It will work via the QR codes on the card.

License Verification Mobile App

Nepal Metropolitan Traffic Police Division has already received the license verification app. The Director-General of the Department of Traffic Management, Namaraj Ghimire presented the finished mobile application to Mr. Umesh Raj Joshi, Senior Superintendent of Police and Chief of Metropolitan Traffic Police Division.

Handing over of License verification mobile app Department of Transport management Metropolitan traffic division

The app initially started because of all the fake probationary license cards on the market. But, now with the app, the QR code on the license card will be scanned. Traffic Police will now know if the card is a real one. Not only that but traffic can see the complete details of license and license holder. This will also prevent riders to use counterfeit cards. This is the first time Nepal has implemented such a mechanism to verify the license right on spot. Earlier, Traffic Police had to contact the respective Transport Management office for individual verification.

We can only hope that this new license verification application will help punish many of the traffic offenders which will ultimately lead us to a better traffic management system. This might even lower the accidents since such unauthorized drivers would not be on road.

Present provision for the probationary license card

The new riders need to go through a year of probation as instructed by Government. They receive the actual license only after a year. During this time, Government reviews their road behavior. The probationary license card holds a QR code with all the details and behavior tracking. The rider will be given five chances and if he exceeds the chances by violating the traffic rules, he/she will have to go through the license exam again. Not only that but there is a provision to revoke the license if required. Not to forget, the new license verification mobile app will help to streamline the above-mentioned process.

Document Tracking System (DTS)

Metropolitan Traffic Police Division has also unveiled Document Tracking System. This means the riders whose documents get confiscated by the Traffic Division for a traffic rule violation can track down their own documents.

To know the office location of documents, you can type Echalan (Space) Fiscal Year Chit Number on your message box and then send it to 34001.
