OPPO R17 Pro Review: More than Just Beautiful Night Shots

By Emman Tortoza December 14, 2018

Just a little over a month ago, OPPO brought over its first-ever R-Series smartphone to the Philippines, completing its portfolio of devices from the mid-range to the flagship segment. Known for offering selfie-centric phones, the R17 Pro was in many ways, a breath of fresh air – a phone that houses a number of things that weren’t previously seen from the company’s local offerings to date. An F9 Up Front, Totally Different in Everything Else These days, a lot of manufacturers are using the smaller notch design (which goes by so many names) to give the feel of having a larger screen. The OPPO R17 is the newest product of this strategy. In fact, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference from the F9 upfront. At least, that’s where the similarities end. The R17 Pro uses a slim profile, and a body that’s polished with a dual-color gradient, and is…

Realme to Open First Concept Store in SM North EDSA? (*UPDATE)

By Emman Tortoza December 12, 2018

Realme has posted a very interesting teaser in its Facebook Page – What seems to be an artwork featuring an SM Mall, and a structure that looks like.. a dome (or a globe) *UPDATE: We received confirmation that it is going to be in-store availability of Realme’s product at MemoXpress inside SM North EDSA. You can check out their invitation below. Be sure to let them know that you’re going! Now, the dome-like structure could be the SM Skydome, which is located in SM City North EDSA, or it could also be the globe structure in SM Mall of Asia. This could mean one of two things – Either a roadshow, OR THEY’RE OPENING A CONCEPT STORE there. We do hope that it’s the latter, as the Realme C1, their first device to launch in PH, has had tremendous success especially at the recent 12.12 sale in Lazada – thanks…

By Emman Tortoza December 11, 2018

Today, we’re taking a look at the newest addition to ASUS’ lineup of battery-focused ZenFone Max series, and the follow up to the very successful ZenFone Max Pro M1, the ZenFone Max Pro M2. Specifications Unboxing https://youtu.be/K2NZs8Gy4MI A Different Approach to Design, and I Like It Unlike its predecessor, the ZenFone Max Pro M2 uses a “notched” approach for its 6.3-inch display, which also sticks to a Full HD+ resolution. I’ve always loved the screens on ZenFones for their liveliness. And happily, this one follows through – colors are punchy, text is sharp, and viewing angles are decent. It’s also one of the first few devices to utilize the new Corning Gorilla Glass 6, which means it should be able to withstand a few “accidental drops.” The device uses a triple slot tray, located on the left side, while all the buttons are placed on the opposite side.
