Asus Vivobook Flip 14 (2021) review: 360 degree performance

0
Each year Asus upgrades its Vivobook Flip series and this year too they have brought a new, more powerful version of the popular 360-degree swivelling notebook for premium-end users. We got to play around with the notebook, and this is the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 (2021) review you should not miss.

Asus Vivobook Flip 14 (2021) review: Design and Display

When it comes to the form factor of the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 it seems very similar to the previous generations. You can see similar bezels and a comparable keyboard. However, to add a bit of zing the company has added a yellow outline on the enter key. With that, you will see improvements along the function (FN) keys. The badging on the lid says Asus Vivobook in chrome and that too is a nice touch. The 14-inch touch display can swivel all the way to the back and the laptop comes with a stylus (with two buttons) since it is a touchscreen. A magnet attachment is also part of the package to hold the stylus in place. The resolution of the screen is Full HD and screen to body ratio is 82%. It is a glossy screen, which can display brilliant colours and crisp text. We watched a few movies on it via Netflix and loved every bit of it. We edited a couple of images on Photoshop too and that experience was very good. The stylus does a wonderful job in case you create a lot of imagery on Adobe Illustrator.asus vivobook flip 14 price in india - Keyboard The trackpad on the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 has a fingerprint sensor on it, which is a good move, however, the trackpad is slightly small for our liking. As far as the ports are concerned the laptop has 2 USB ports, 1 USB Type-C, 3.5mm audio/MIC, HDMI, and microSD card slot. The power button is also positioned along with the other ports on the right side. Overall, the notebook has a sturdy feel to it with strong hinges and good plastics, dressed in midnight blue colour.

Asus Vivobook Flip 14 review: Performance

Inside the solid exterior Asus Vivobook Flip 14 has a lot of firepower. The notebook is powered by AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPU (5500U), which is 20-25% faster than the previous gen. As a result, Windows OS boots faster, software open quickly, and you can get the job done swiftly. The 6-Core CPU has a max clock speed of 2.1GHz and is supported by 8GB RAM and 512GB of NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD storage. Graphics are provided by AMD Radeon onboard display adaptor. Asus Vivobook Flip 14 price On our tests, the notebook hardly flickered. It can handle your daily task along with games such as PUBG (at medium settings) at 60fps just fine. However, since this is more of a work cum play machine, Asus has put in Windows 10 Home in it. We were hoping to get Windows 10 Pro in this machine. Users will be allowed to upgrade to Windows 11 when it rolls out fully, but that to will be the Home edition. There was a little bit of bloatware found in the OS, but thankfully all of it can be removed. Users also get a trial of McAfee anti-virus and Microsoft Office 2019 apps on it. The keyboard of the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 is backlit and very good to work with. The laptop also excels in the sound department as the speakers are tuned by Harman Kardon. There is no ethernet port in the device, but it does support the super-fast Wi-Fi 6 technique, so internet connectivity was never an issue. Zoom calls went well as the cam on the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 is HD ready and multiple MICs on the lappy made sure the other side heard us clearly. There is a special performance mode built into this laptop. Just hit Fn+F when you need that speed burst to kick in. All in all, compared to some of the competing machines, the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 is right up there in terms of performance. Some might feel the AMD chip is underpowered, but in our tests, we did not feel it underperforming in any way.

Verdict

The weight of the Asus Vivobook Flip 14 is just 1.5Kg making it extremely portable. But does the small 18.2mm bezel mean it will heat up? Well, 90% of the time it did not heat up. It is only when we were playing PUBG for long it became a little warm, but the fan inside kept the heat bearable. The charger, fast charges the battery of Asus Vivobook Flip 14 to 60% in under 50 minutes. The battery life of this portable PC is also very good. We extracted over 7.5 hours of battery under nominal use. The price at which you can get the notebook is Rs 60,000 – Rs 64,000 depending upon the city you live in. For the price, this is a rocking piece of machine to own. If you are a creator, like to illustrate or just want a light machine that looks good and performs well, you can go for this without a doubt.

Pro:

Good Performance Brilliant Screen Long battery life

Cons:

Trackpad is a bit small No Ethernet port For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Google Maps is rolling out new navigation features for cyclists

Google Maps has released a slew of new features to help you navigate more sustainably. By providing new ways to navigate the company aims to reduce emissions hence providing more environmentally friendly options to masses when travelling from one place to another. This includes lite navigation for cyclists, bike and scooter share information as well as eco-friendly routes.  The company introduced the features via a blog post that said, “Vehicles on the road account for over 75% of transportation CO2 emissions and are one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gasses worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency. Today at our Sustainable with Google event, we’re announcing three new Google Maps updates to help lower these emissions and provide people with greener choices when getting from A to B.” Apart from displaying the fastest route, Google Maps will also show the most fuel-efficient routes to the users by using the company’s AI algorithms. According to the search giant users have the option to choose between two routes: fuel-efficient or fastest route. One can compare the ETA difference between the two routes and choose the one that works best for them.  According to Jeff Gonder, Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences at NREL, this is a positive change for everyone. “Not only does Google Maps’ eco-friendly routing bring NREL’s fuel-efficient technology from the lab to the road, but it has huge potential to significantly lower emissions and saves drivers money on gas — something that’s good for both people and the planet.” On the other hand the Lite navigation for cyclists, bike users can quickly see important details about their route without needing to keep their screen on or enter turn-by-turn navigation since their phone is usually tucked away for most of their ride. They can easily track their trip progress, can get ETA updates in real-time and know the elevation of their route while they are riding. According to the company, Lite navigation will go live on Google Maps in the coming months for Android and iOS devices.  Whereas the Bike and scooter share information will let users find nearby stations and even pinpoint how many vehicles are available at that moment in places like Berlin, New York, São Paulo and Taipei. This functionality on Google Maps will be available to over 300 cities around the world on Android and iOS. The Blog post stated, “And when you’re done with your ride, you can make sure there’s a place to park before heading over to the station. This expansion is made possible thanks to micro-mobility partners like the Donkey Republic, Tier and Voi based in Europe, along with Bird and Spin, which are headquartered in the U.S.” For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Every Indian household makes use of utensils like pots, pans, cookers and kadhai that heavily get soiled while cooking, so the new Smasung dishwasher range offers 13 Place Settings that can accommodate a large variety of dishes of different sizes in one wash cycle.  It is designed to remove grease, leftover oil, burnt stains and baked-on food from cookware, dishes and utensils. It can wash the utensils at a temperature of 70°C with its Triple Rinse feature that is claimed to kill 99.99% of bacteria (certified by Intertek) so that the dishes, cutlery and utensils are clean and safe to use.  Samsung IntensiveWash Dishwasher Whereas when the whole process of cleaning and drying is complete the AutoRelease Drying feature automatically opens the dishwasher door by 10cm to allow steam to escape for faster and better drying results than conventional methods, especially for plastic and small items. Samsung IntensiveWash Dishwasher comes fitted with a stainless steel tub which is designed to be durable, makes less noise and stays cleaner than conventional ones. It also won’t become discoloured over time and prevents the build-up of bad odours. Samsung IntensiveWash Dishwasher The Smasung dishwasher is energy efficient too and is Energy Star certified as per the European Energy Standards, equivalent to an A+++ rating.

It also has a  large and wide LED display allowing users to quickly check the status, settings, remaining time and cycle progress at a glance, even from a distance. Whereas the smart leakage sensor protects from any water leaks. If a leak is detected, it immediately stops the cycle, drains the water and displays an error message.

Nokia G20 Review: A battery that lasts forever

There are very few smartphone brands that offer a complete stock Android experience on their phones and Nokia is one of them. Despite being offered at a low price its devices sometimes have struggled to capture attention, but not anymore.  The Nokia G20 is the company’s latest offering and in today’s review, we’ll see how it performs and whether it’s worth purchasing.

Nokia G20 Review: Design and Display

A few months back we reviewed Nokia 3.4, which looks very similar to the Nokia G20 smartphone. Or, to put it another way, most Nokia phones these days have a similar form factor. For better grip, the company used polycarbonate material and designed the panel with ridged vertical stripes.  Nokia G20 Review: A battery that lasts forever A circular rear camera module with four sensors is neatly placed and an LED flash is located just below the camera module. The device is available in two colour options: Glacier and Night, and our review unit is the latter, which look nice. The phone’s textured back panel makes it resistant to scratches and fingerprints, but luckily the company includes a silicon cover for protection.  review of Nokia G20 The power and volume buttons on the right frame are fairly easy to reach and provide good haptic feedback. The power button has been integrated with a fingerprint scanner that unlocks the device in about a second. One can also opt for the face unlock option but that is even slower.  review of Nokia G20 Moving on, there is a SIM tray and a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left. Besides this, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack and a primary microphone on the top while the bottom part consists of a USB Type C port, a mono speaker grille and a secondary microphone.  Nokia G20 Review: A battery that lasts forever The Nokia G20 features a 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a dewdrop notch for the selfie camera and a 20:9 aspect ratio on the front. The HD+ screen may (on paper) appear underwhelming for the price, but we have to say that we rarely had any issues with the display’s sharpness.  Enabling 1080p mode on YouTube gives you a good viewing experience. The videos appeared to be sufficiently sharp. In addition, the device is Widevine L1 certified for HD streaming on Ott platforms such as Netflix, Prime Videos and others. The outside readability could have been better. A few more nits would have been perfect. The colours of the screen are superb and we loved our experience with it indoors.

Nokia G20 review: Performance and Cameras

The Nokia G20 is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 SoC based on a 12 nm processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The device has a MicroSD card slot for expandable storage of up to 512GB. A similar chipset can be found in a variety of low-cost smartphones including the Poco C3, Redmi 9 Active, Oppo A16, Oppo A55 and many others. It should be noted that all of these phones are significantly less expensive than the G20. The phone is built for people who are graduating from a feature phone to a smartphone. So for them, the performance would be great, however, if you are already a smartphone user, you might feel the lack of speed you are used to. Nokia G20 review India The applications load time could have been better, but multitasking on the other hand between the lightweight apps works well. It’s perfectly fine to play less demanding games when it comes to gaming on the Nokia G20. GPU-intensive games, on the other hand, put a strain on the processor. We tried out Call of Duty Mobile, and it stutters a lot under low graphics and high frame rate settings, but the gameplay improves at the lowest settings. Let us now discuss the camera’s performance. The Nokia G20 has a quad-camera set up on the back, including a 48-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.79 aperture. A 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor round out the package. There is an 8-megapixel front-facing camera for taking selfies and video calls. Nokia G20 review India Shots from the primary camera produced reasonably detailed results in good lighting. The phone has a hard time focusing. When auto HDR is enabled, the photos become overly saturated, and the exposure is also a bit messy, so keep it off and you will be fine.
Nokia G20 review in English
Macro shot
The ultra-wide-angle shots, on the other hand, reduce the saturation to a more natural level. The portrait shots were slightly oversharpened, but the edge detection was excellent. The macro camera also has issues due to its fixed focus lens.  Nokia G20 review in English Aside from that, the low-light images were not super grainy with good details, but they occasionally shot soft-looking photos. The night mode increases the exposure slightly, but not significantly. 
Nokia G20 review in English
Portrait shot
The front-facing camera takes mediocre selfies. While the dynamic range is not what we were expecting, the photos appear to have soft, muted colours.  The Nokia G20 is powered by a 5,050mAh battery that supports 10W charging. We were able to get two days of endurance with medium usage. However, if you are not interested in gaming or binge-watching, it can last for three days, which is impressive. The 10W charger fully charges the phone in 3 hours. 

Verdict

To summarise, the Nokia G20 (Rs 13,490) is a phone for people graduating from feature phones to a smartphone. While its design, clean stock Android 11 experience and battery life are redeeming, the phone ultimately falls short in terms of performance when compared to its competitors. At this price point, the company could have chosen the MediaTek G80 or G85.  The phone is suitable for casual smartphone users who want long battery life and a dependable software experience. The Nokia G20 is a good choice as it will give you OS and security updates regularly.
Nokia G20 Pros and Cons
Pros
  • Good Battery life
  • Stock Android 11 experience
  • Classic design
Cons
  • Slow charging
  • weak processor
  • does not justify its price
