It emits 24-bit/192kHz audio and is the first phone in the world with a CyberEngine ultra-wideband X-axis vibration motor. This is also the largest haptics motor on an Android smartphone.
Battery and Extras
Fueling the device is a medium Li-Po 4,700 battery with 120W fast charging support. According to Xiaomi, the battery will get a 0-100% charge in just 17 minutes. It also has support for Power Deliver 3.0 and Quick Charge 3+. For biometrics, there is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner which is a little bit of disappointment since for this price range it could have been an under-display sensor.
Other sensors include an accelerometer, gyro, compass, and color spectrum. Furthermore, there is Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS [A-GPS, Up to tri-band: GLONASS (1), BDS (3), GALILEO (2), QZSS (2), NavIC], an infrared blaster, and NFC support.

Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) has been planning to implement Mobile Number Portability (MNP) soon. They asked telcos for their advice on the matter but after getting no response back from them, NTA has started on their own. The MNP implementation in Nepal started to be a rumor in 2016. However, it stayed as a rumor, and the draft we saw as Mobile Number Portability Regulation 2078 wasn’t until 2021. The draft gives a provision for users to change network operators without changing their mobile number.
What is Mobile Number Portability?
Mobile Number Portability is a service allowing us users to switch between various network operators without changing our mobile number. This indicates that you won’t have to go through the trouble of buying a new SIM card when you change your telecom operator. This process calls out porting or for easy understanding; number porting. It comes in two ways: Recipient-led and Donor-led. In the first one, the user contacts the new network operator he wishes to switch. And then the request forwards to the current network operator. Likewise, the second one uses the porting code from a present operator and transfers it to the new. Then the two operators contact each other to complete the process.
The draft of Mobile Number Portability Regulation 2078 has a recipient-led porting provision which means that they must contact the new operator they wish to switch to. Also, the operators can not collect any charge for any porting-related SMS received from the clearinghouse.
Merits
Works for user’s convenience
If you are unsatisfied with your current network operator, you can easily make the switch to another one
You don’t have to worry about other people losing your contact information after you change the network carrier every time.
It brings competition among the network operators which might help in increasing the quality of their respective services.
Demerits
You’ll no longer have the information about whether the number belongs to a certain network provider. This can create confusion about inter-operator tariffs among the people.
Who is eligible for the Mobile Number Portability?
Now, if you are interested in the service, you should have your mobile number for at least 90 days before proceeding. The number should also be registered in the donor carrier’s database whose details shouldn’t differ from the database of the service provider. Further, the user can not have any dues or liability towards the current service provider he is in. Finally, the number should be fully operational when you start the proceeding.
Porting Request Form
Users must fill out a porting request form. Here, the user has to self-declare if their number has ever been a piece of contact information that was used for any unauthorized purpose. They will even have to agree to the change in tariff that might occur due to the switching between two network operators. Likewise, you won’t be receiving the services from the previous network provider which includes the balance amount you had when you were under that network carrier.
In Nepal, all the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) will get handled by a third-party clearinghouse. However, we still don’t know if that clearinghouse will be working under NTA or independently.

The phone weighs 164.6 grams while embedding the dimension of 164.6×75.9×8.5mm. The body is made up of glass at the front while the frame and the back are plastic-built. Nokia has gone with a rectangular camera bump on the phone instead of the circular one. There are two color options available – Charcoal and Ice.
Performance and Memory
Powering the device is a Unisoc T606 chipset based on a 12nm manufacturing process. It integrates an octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A75 and six Cortex-A55 cores among which, all are clocked at the speed of 1.6GHz. Likewise, the graphics are handled by Arm’s Mali-G57 MP1 processor.
As per memory, there is a single memory configuration – 3/32GB of eMMC 5.1. You can also expand your internal memory with the help of a dedicated microSD card slot. On the software front, the handset boots on stock Android 11. Nokia also promises two major Android updates alongside three years of security patches. Moreover, you can have 30 days free trial of Express VPN on the phone. Also, the software-based face unlock can recognize you with a mask as well.
Camera
Under the hood, there is a triple camera setup on the rectangular module lying on the back of the Nokia G11. It has a 13MP primary lens with PDAF support and the others are two 2MP cameras for macro and depth shots respectively. The module also holds a LED flash to take better night shots.
Upfront, there is an 8MP snapper for better selfies and video calls. Both rear and front cameras can record 1080p videos at the rate of 30 frames per second. Moving on, there is a loudspeaker system and the model even supports a 3.5mm headphone jack for music.
Battery and Extras
Fueling the model is a massive 5,050mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. However, there is a 10W adapter in the box. Nokia claims to have two stages on the battery saving mode where the first one starts at 20%. There have also been rumors that say the battery life is three full days on medium usage.
For biometrics, there is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and software-based face unlocks mentioned earlier. Other sensors include an accelerometer and proximity. Furthermore, there are connectivity options like Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO), region-dependent NFC, and USB Type-C 2.0 port.
Tuddrom has announced a new earphone in the MO series. After the successful sale of the other two earphones of the series MO1 and MO2, the company has decided to introduce Tuddrom MO3; the next in the lineup. These are entry-level wired earphones with single drivers that have excellent sound delivering capacity. This was the best-selling earphone for the brand. In this post, we will talk about the specs, features, availability, and the official price of Tuddrom MO3 in Nepal.
Tuddrom MO3 Overview
Design
Starting with the design, like the two earphones in the MO series before, the MO3 also has a very comfortable design. It’s very light and comes in an ergonomic, angled in-ear form that makes sure you are on your comfortable way while using the earphones. It also reduces the background noises on some level so that you can have full concentration on whatever you are listening to. Further, because of its lightweight, it leads to no pressure on your ear which is the main reason for its comfortability.
The wires on the earphones are Flat tangle-free wires which means you won’t have to detangle them every time you decide to use them after a break. This happens because of its design by R&D engineers. This results in more durability meaning you can use them for a long time.
Audio
Moving on, the earphone integrates a 10mm Dynamic speaker which ensures better sound quality for you. There is a metal diaphragm in it which means you can have original sound for your original track. Moreover, you can enjoy surround sound when you use the earphones.
Rest of the specs
The new Tuddrom MO3 comes with an L-shaped earphone jack which means it will sustain more durability. This happens because it will be difficult to bend and thus give the earphone a longer life span. It is also comfortable to hold in hands because of the same reason.
The mic in this earphone lies near your mouth to provide a crystal-clear sound on the other side when you are on a video call or playing some games. Your mic resides near your lips in the right wire which makes your voice signals sensitive and with fewer background noises. Furthermore, it has a single multifunction button which is very responsive for your better experience. You can play/pause/change the song in your playlist, call/reject calls, and so much more. Also, the button is a little long so that you don’t have to search it for a moment there.
