OPPO partners with Marvel for a special edition Reno5

Marvel fans, assemble! OPPO officially announces the exclusive partnership with Marvel through a commemorative smartphone design for Reno5 and an IG Filter. The latest Reno5 Marvel Edition smartphone builds upon the technical strengths of OPPO Reno5 and the stunning Marvel’s The Avengers-themed design which fuses characters and other elements from Marvel’s The Avengers series into every aspect of the phone to create a must-have item for Marvel fans around the world. This limited edition smartphone will be available in the country in the coming weeks.

“Through the years of understanding and putting forward consumer preferences, this creative and exciting collaboration with Marvel is just one of the many things we’re excited to share with our consumers and all the Marvel fans in the Philippines. We hope that through the Reno5 Marvel Edition Smartphone, consumers will get to feel like the everyday superhero themselves through the powerful features of Reno5 Marvel Edition,” said OPPO Philippines Marketing Director Raymond Xia.

Reno5 Marvel Edition is equipped with powerful camera features, a 44-megapixel selfie camera and a 64-megapixel quad-camera setup.  These cameras come with smart AI features such as the Dual-View Video, AI Video Highlight, and features perfect for night phoneography. It is also supported with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM for a smoother, faster smartphone experience.

Additionally, you can easily juice up its hefty 4,310 mAh battery with its 50W flash charge charging technology. Definitely, a smartphone that can help you power through your day anytime, anywhere.

The design of the OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition draws much of its inspiration from the Quantum Suits worn by The Avengers in the movie Avengers: Endgame, featuring a combination of black, gray, silver, and red. While in the center of the phone’s back casing is the “A” logo, which combines two iconic Marvel elements –  the Avengers logo and Captain America’s shield.

The back of the phone is designed around the letter “X”, taking its inspiration from the logo of Black Widow. The textured finish creates a unique feel to the phone reminiscent of the high-tech suits worn by The Avengers. The silver sides of the phone have been created through an electroplating process, with a black stripe in the middle revealed through laser-etching. A red embellishment around the button adds a further touch of Marvel inspiration. On the front side of the phone is a 6.4 inch 90Hz AMOLED screen providing users with a clear and immersive viewing experience.

Installed with the latest version of ColorOS 11.1, the device also boasts exclusive design details such as the background of the home screen which features a similar design based on the Avengers Quantum Suits while the icons of the original OPPO apps on the home screen have been replaced with icons depicting various heroes or items in the Marvel Universe.

There are also six different exclusive lock screen wallpapers to create a fully immersive experience for all Marvel fans. What’s more, a flip book-style animation inspired by the opening scenes of the Marvel movies can also be shown when users are choosing different wallpapers, immersing them in the Marvel Cinematic Universe each time.

The OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition carries its Marvel influence far beyond the phone’s external appearance. Users will be immediately transported into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Avengers logo greets them during the start-up animation. When charging the phone, charging status is shown using an animation of the light rings on Iron Man’s Head Up Display (HUD).

The packaging and accessories included in the OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition are also befitting of any Avengers fan with its earphones, SIM card extractor pin, charger, and charge cable — all come in graphical and color elements from Marvel’s The Avengers. There is also a protective phone case designed in the iconic Marvel style of a red background printed with the original six Marvel Avengers.

Making use of TPU material to ensure durability while remaining light, the case has been crafted using IML (In-Molding Labeling) processing, with the Marvel Super Heroes painted inside the case and the Marvel logo outside, to create a 3D, textured effect.

Reno5 Marvel Edition will be available in the Philippines with its price to be announced in the coming weeks.

Huawei MatePad T 10s unboxing and first impressions

In the last couple of months, we’ve seen Huawei release a number of new MatePad devices including the MatePad Pro and the MatePad. But the company isn’t done yet. Adding to its T-series is the new MatePad T 10s. 

This competitively-priced tablet is designed to be an all-around device to tackle different types of tasks and boost productivity. Priced at PhP 12,999, the MatePad T 10s bridges the gap between the MatePad and the MatePad T8.

Even before you open its box, you’re already greeted with an image of the device plastered on the front. Lifting the cover immediately reveals the Huawei MatePad T 10s.

Diving deeper, we find the 10W charger, sim ejector tool, and USB Type-C cable. Our device didn’t come with documentation but retail units should have a quick start guide and a warranty card included.

Going back to the tablet, it houses a 10.1-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1920×1200. The front camera is hidden in the device’s top bezel. On the right, we have the SIM card and microSD card tray, 3.5mm audio jack, and USB Type-C port. Speakers can be found on both the left and right sides of the device while the power button and the volume rocker are on the top.

Bezels are quite thick with a screen-to-body ratio of 80% but there’s still a lot of screen space to accomplish different types of tasks. The back sports a brushed metal finish with a single round camera module to the side. Like most of Huawei’s tablets, this device comes in only one color called Deepsea Blue. Additionally, there’s no support for a stylus. 

The device carries a good amount of heft so it doesn’t feel flimsy when held. Initial tests showed a responsive screen with good, saturated colors. The Harman Kardon-tuned speakers also produced quality sound but aren’t that loud.

Internally, it’s powered by a Kirin 710A processor paired with 3GB of RAM and just 64GB of internal storage. Thankfully, the latter is expandable up to 512GB via microSD card. The MatePad T 10s carries the same battery capacity of the MatePad T8 at 5100mAh and is supported by Huawei Quick Charge.

Like all Huawei devices, this also runs the company’s EMUI for its OS. Specifically, the MatePad T 10s comes shipped EMUI 10.1 based on Android 10.

The device houses a single 5-megapixel rear camera that can capture up to 1920×1080 video. Around the front is a simple 2-megapixel camera. A couple of features offered include HDR, beauty, voice control, panorama, and more.

The Huawei MatePad T 10s is already available at the official Huawei Philippines store for PhP 12,999. Huawei is also currently giving out a free flip cover and Huawei FreeLace earphones for every purchase of the MatePad T 10s.
