', 'content' => '<p>August 17: Chinese smartphone company OPPO on Thursday announced that its latest model F9 will be launched in Nepal by end of this month. OPPO said in a statement that the F9 is a brand-new breakthrough F series smartphone that will be shipped with VOOC flash charge, gradient colors, as well as a unique waterdrop screen design.</p> <p>According to the company, VOOC flash charge applies a low voltage fast charging mechanism to deliver lightning quick charging. With its standardized configuration 5V/4A, it can achieve a charging speed 4 times faster than conventional 5V/1A charging technology, the statement claimed.</p> <p>“While guaranteeing fast charging performance, VOOC also ensures a safe charging process. Specifically, OPPO VOOC has five layers of protection from the charging adapter to smartphone, including low temperature and voltage, which ensures a fast and safe charge,” the statement said.</p> <p>OPPO said that the F9 uses a gorgeous gradient color design, again a first in the F series. OPPO said it created this design because of technological advances in color processes, while gradient colors in the market are already popular among young people. The three colors on offer are sunrise red, twilight blue and starry purple, with inspiration coming from nature – sunrise, twilight, and starry skies.</p> <p>In addition to the unique gradient color options, the device will also feature OPPO’s first FHD+ waterdrop screen with a high screen-to-body ratio up to 90.8 percent. This, according to the company, provides a vivid, visual enjoyment without increasing the size of the phone while the high-resolution screen offers a more immersive experience to consumers.</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-08-17', 'modified' => '2018-08-17', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8675', 'image' => '20180817124826_F9 pic 5.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-08-17 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 13 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8895', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => '3 more banks join connectIPS e-Payment System', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'August 17: Civil Bank, Century Bank and Excel Development Bank have adopted the connectIPS e-Payment System from Thursday, August 16, to facilitate their customers to initiate online payment.', 'content' => '<p>August 17: Civil Bank, Century Bank and Excel Development Bank have adopted the <em>connect</em>IPS e-Payment System from Thursday, August 16, to facilitate their customers to initiate online payment.

With its standardized configuration 5V/4A, it can achieve a charging speed 4 times faster than conventional 5V/1A charging technology, the statement claimed.</p> <p>“While guaranteeing fast charging performance, VOOC also ensures a safe charging process. Specifically, OPPO VOOC has five layers of protection from the charging adapter to smartphone, including low temperature and voltage, which ensures a fast and safe charge,” the statement said.</p> <p>OPPO said that the F9 uses a gorgeous gradient color design, again a first in the F series. OPPO said it created this design because of technological advances in color processes, while gradient colors in the market are already popular among young people. The three colors on offer are sunrise red, twilight blue and starry purple, with inspiration coming from nature – sunrise, twilight, and starry skies.</p> <p>In addition to the unique gradient color options, the device will also feature OPPO’s first FHD+ waterdrop screen with a high screen-to-body ratio up to 90.8 percent.
