realme celebrates milestones with #realmeMyNumber1 campaign

It has definitely been a whirlwind journey for three-year-old tech brand realme. Clinching the top spot in the local Canalys and IDC smartphone sell-in rankings for 2021, the brand continues to prove its strength in the industry as it aims to become the tech and lifestyle companion of every Filipino.

With all these milestones, realme is determined to keep the momentum going by daring to leap like never before.

During the #realXperience media event held on April 21, the brand shared how it intends to attain further success in the local tech scene.  “We are eternally grateful to our Squad: our fans, stakeholders, employees, and industry partners for making realme their number 1 choice. This inspires us to continue outdoing ourselves by bringing more cutting-edge product innovations, a wider network of channels and stores, as well as a stronger industry presence through disruptive campaigns,” shares Austine Huang, realme Philippines’ VP for Marketing.

The #realXperience media event marks the first on-ground comeback of the brand since the start of the pandemic. As its main highlight, realme unveiled its latest campaign: #realmeMyNumber1 in celebration of its remarkable achievements in the country.

Through this campaign, the brand aims to celebrate its success and create a movement where the Squad can express why realme is their no. 1 choice.

To launch the campaign in true realme fashion, the brand unveiled the first-ever billboard featuring showbiz royalty Kathryn Bernardo, simultaneously airing across 20 major spots nationwide. You can find these at various locations around EDSA, C5, Trinoma, and also at select malls including Glorietta, Greenhills, Gaisano Grand Mall, Eastwood, and more.

The campaign also includes a social media giveaway where the Squad can get the chance to win prizes including their latest products: realme 9 Pro, realme Smart TV, and realme Pad Mini. realme is also gearing up to launch its first national photography contest called Pixel Perfect to encourage realme users and photography enthusiasts to take their skills to the next level.

In addition to these initiatives, the campaign will also underscore realme’s commitment to giving back and paying it forward. The brand is currently in partnership with leading delivery provider J&T Express to give assistance to families devastated by Tropical Storm Agaton in Leyte.

realme is cooking up several other events and initiatives in line with the #realmeMyNumber1 campaign.

3 reasons why Huawei Vision S offers serious value for money

05/25/2021

When it comes to buying TVs or any electronics in general, we always look for the best value for money as customers. Huawei is obviously familiar with this with the array of affordable devices it churns out every now and then. And with the company’s new smart TV, they aim to deliver the same things — useful features with a reasonable price.

With a starting price in the Philippines of less than PhP 33K, here are some of the key reasons why Huawei Vision S Series offers serious value for money.

Immersive picture quality

The Huawei Vision S Series is capable of producing detailed picture quality thanks to its 4K resolution with up to 120Hz refresh rate. As mentioned in our full review, this definitely helped in making content consumption more enjoyable as it offers ultra-smooth movements for video content with high framerates.

Watching movies and even playing games are really immersive experiences and the display also offers great viewing angles so you still see the same picture quality wherever in the room you may be. It can also insert 24/30fps video into 120 frames to produce more fluid-moving images.

And as I’ve said previously, watching and playing games and appreciating its picture quality was already enough for me for the first few days of having the Vision S before I went and explored its other features.

Powerful and clear audio

Equipped with a total of four downward-firing speakers at 10W each, this smart TV can produce loud and detailed audio thanks to Huawei’s proprietary speaker system. While it understandably doesn’t have as much bass as dedicated speakers for a home theater-like setup, its sound performance is definitely enough for casual users.

It’s not only loud, but it also creates a virtual surround sound that I have personally experienced and really adds to the immersion.

Loaded with unique features

Having great picture quality together with a powerful and detailed audio performance are really important characteristics for a TV. But Huawei goes beyond that and offers features not usually seen on smart TVs at this price range.

For one, it comes with its own webcam that magnetically sticks to the TV when you need to use it and easily detaches after for better security. And with its built-in MeeTime app, you may use the webcam and call friends and relatives straight from your TV.

With this feature, it’s easy to set up an online reunion with family and friends, especially during these times that staying indoors is safer.

Another feature is its Huawei Vision app that has your needed functions all in one app. Through the app, you can control the TV, its different settings, or use its OneHop Projection that uses its remote’s NFC tag to communicate with other Huawei devices.

By tapping the sensors on your phone and the remote, you can instantly cast content to the Vision S without needing to connect to the same WiFi network which is usually the process for sharing content.

Final thoughts and price

Yes, other smart TVs also have 4K resolution at 120Hz with a good sound system. Although the Huawei Vision S Series tops those in terms of pricing and the addition of unique features like its included webcam and MeeTime that offer additional uses and services to its users.

It’s no secret that you don’t have direct access to apps like YouTube but Huawei has made a way to get hold of these apps and further enjoy the overall viewing experience.

The Huawei Vision S’s 55-inch model starts at PhP 32,999 for cash/straight purchases. For those who are looking for a wider and bigger screen, the 65-inch Huawei Vision S is priced starting at PhP 49, 999 for cash/straight transactions. Every purchase of the Huawei Vision S Series is also nominated for free home delivery until May 31.
