realme launches narzo 20 with 6000mAh battery, quick charge

The country’s top 2 smartphone brand realme Philippines seals its position yet again in the local gaming market by launching a new device which is a perfect addition to the arsenal of young aspiring Filipino gamers — the realme narzo 20. Intended for aspiring gamers, the realme narzo 20 draws powerful performance from its gaming chipset MediaTek Helio G85 and supports prolonged hours of adventure through its 6,000mAh mega battery with 18W quick-charge technology.

A recent study by Newzoo, the world’s most trusted source for games market insights and analytics, shows that the majority of gamers in the Philippines prefer mobile devices as platforms for their gaming spree. realme Philippines, in a bid to make more options available for Filipinos, officially brings to the country its narzo line-up with the introduction of the narzo 20. The narzo by realme line-up bridges the great divide between midrange and entry-level devices by bringing top-tier chipsets and other essential gaming features at affordable price points.

“We at realme have always been keen on empowering the youth to explore their many potentials. Mobile gaming in the country is indeed on the rise. This is why we hope we can inspire more young gamers to try their luck and skills in mobile gaming without them having to break the bank for high-tier devices. The realme narzo 20 is ready to be in the arsenal of every young Filipino gamer,” shares realme Philippines VP for Marketing Austine Huang.

Feel the power in performance

Gamers use powerful devices in slaying enemies to achieve victory in every battle. The realme narzo 20 is a gaming device that is equipped with the powerful MediaTek Helio G85 octa-core processor, which pumps its Arm Mali-G52 GPU up to a 2GHz peak, allowing great gaming for avid mobile gamers. Users need not worry about lagging as the device ensures smooth performance even in heavy-loading game engines like Mobile Legends and PUBG. As a processor for gaming, Helio G85 reaches 200,000+ in Antutu Benchmark.

Feel the power with a mega battery

The realme narzo 20 packs a hefty 6,000mAh mega battery, the biggest there is in the device’s price segment. This massive battery is essential for gamers who are in gaming marathons as it could easily last all day even with intensive gaming usage or when used for entertainment, online classes or work. Complementing this mega battery is an 18W quick-charge technology which allows the drained device to charge to 29 percent in just 30 minutes. realme Lab tests have shown that the realme narzo 20 could last for 45 days in standby mode which is far better than some flagships. With a special OTG reverse charge, narzo 20 can also serve as a battery life saver for other devices.

Feel the power of great snaps

The realme narzo 20 features a 48MP AI Triple Camera that lets users capture a perfect shot with stunning clarity and a wider perspective.

The front camera also supports AI beautification function, HDR mode, portrait mode and a Panoselfie feature which lets users take wider selfies. This device is perfect for heavy smartphone users who rely on their mobile device for digital interactions like online schooling and content creation.

Mazda3 edition100 review: Celebrating beauty

10/30/2020

For Mazda Philippines, there were two ways of celebrating winning the world’s best-designed car award for 2020: Posting an ordinary photo on its social media recognizing their achievement OR going all out and producing limited edition Mazda3 to make this big news even bigger. And if it wasn’t for the second option, we wouldn’t have this special feature article right here.

That’s right. The Mazda3 won the World Car Design of the Year for 2020 and Bermaz Auto Philippines, the exclusive distributor of Mazda in the Philippines, introduces the Mazda3 edition100 to celebrate this momentous occasion. And mind you, there are only 50 of these in the country. Talk about exclusivity, right?

The edition100 is basically the five-door Mazda3 Sportback Premium with tweaked aesthetics. Think of it as customizing an already beautiful piece of art. With that in mind, this vehicle still carries its KODO design language with more sophistication and follows its aesthetic mantra of going for simplicity.

It comes in three new colorways that further highlight the dynamic features of the award-winning model — the very attractive Snowflake White Pearl, the passionate Soul Red Crystal, and the edgy Jet Black.

What we have here is the Soul Red Crystal with its deep red color that’s generally subdued but still demands to be noticed. It’s important to note that apart from the Soul Red variant which features a gloss black body kit, the two other color variants adopt a striking Soul Red highlight.

The Snowflake White Pearl edition100 with its Soul Red kits, gloss black rims, and red brake calipers.

Another thing you’ll notice is that it now wears 18-inch Midnight Black alloy wheels with red calipers and left its gunmetal rims back home. The company says the black and red hues evoke the brand’s sporty heritage and indeed, they do look the part.

This affinity for red color continues inside as the seats are wrapped in red leather so feeling that premium vibe doesn’t stop outside.

The interior trims are also wrapped in this soft and padded material that’s very nice to the touch. If the exterior exudes a bold look, the interior screams premium comfort.

The interior still sports an 8.8-inch infotainment display, 12-speaker Bose sound system, dual-zone climate control, and a 10-way power driver adjust. Adding to those, driving features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360-degree camera, among others.

Under the hood, the edition100 still remains powered by the 2-liter Skyactiv-G engine with a six-speed automatic gearbox. We enjoyed a spirited drive in and out of the highway and even went through a mountain’s twisties and the vehicle handled itself gracefully.

In terms of safety, it also comes with the company’s advanced i-Activsense which consists of an array of safety features. It has Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Smart Brake Support, and Driver Attention Alert. With all these safety tech and more, it’s no wonder that the 2020 Mazda3 received the Top Safety Pick+ status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

And finally, the last refinement done to the edition100 is its relocated front license plate holder. It’s now moved to just above the body kit so the front grille of the car can be viewed in its entirety.

Personally, Mazda is one of the car manufacturers that really focus on what matters. From the exterior, it has that bold design that says a lot but through means of simplicity. The interior is an eye-candy, definitely, but it doesn’t end there; it’s very comfortable and ergonomic as well. Even its 2-liter engine is just the right power for what this vehicle needs.

There is no shortage of entertainment features either. In fact, it has some of the best speakers in vehicles today, and that display with no touch function? Safety is the reason why it has its physical knob for navigation.

These small, but thought-out implementations for me, are what put Mazda in a league of their own when it comes to driving experience. In short, while most manufacturers aim for balance in overall performance, Mazda is one of those who really does things right.
