Xiaomi Holds Xiaomi Pop Run 2023 at Bridgetowne in QC

It was certainly a great morning to have a few of my blog friends and different health enthusiasts join the XIAOMI POP RUN 2023 which was held last October 28th at the Bridgetown grounds in Quezon City. I'm quite familiar to the place because when I had a blue collar job my previous corp opened an office nearby. There were a lot of people from nearby corps who joined in plus some of Xiomi's very own employees, friends and family who participated in this event.

Around 5am, warm ups were done first by instructors to make sure we had blood rushing through our veins before the actual 3K and 10K runs. This is the first Xiaomi Pop Run event being held in the country and it has been a tradition in other parts of the world, it was a glad addition to the already big runs happening elsewhere (they were being done simultaneously in several cities around the world and Manila just got it). This all started in China via the Orange Run in 2018 which was well attended by Xiaomi fans.

When the race started, the 10K Run was done first. I thought it was going to be relatively easy, but no, the run had some several pros in them. There were also a lot of participants that had their Xiaomi Bands with them, which was also a good thing as they were launching the latest one the Xiaomi Band 8.

I wore one too, the White version while there were other runners that had the Black. The night before, I wore it to monitor my sleep (and saw I only had an hour in it lol #badboy). The Xiaomi Band 8 had other features to monitor the distance they ran, the time, heart rate, even blood oxygen levels (which I did during the pandemic often). There's also a way to monitor the route because it had GPS capabilities, so when the race started, they switched it to that as well. What I liked most about the Xiaomi Band 8 is the really clear 1.62 inch AMOLED display and the long lasting batteries it had (which promised 16 days, and I have yet to charge it since I've worn it that day). I also had the opportunity to take photos with several Sparkle teens and Sparkle artists as well who joined the 3K Xiaomi Pop Run, particularly Will Ashley,  Keisha Serna, James Graham, Abdul Raman, Ella Cristofani, Jade Tecson, Aidan Veneracion, Tanya Ramos, Lianne Valentin, and Raheel Bhyria. They were a fun bunch!

The other sponsors like Redbull, Viu, Salonpas and Fitbar made sure lucky participants were given prizes through the on the spot raffles before the event ended. They also thanked their partners at Bridgetowne Destination Estate and Robinsons for doing the same. They also promised more things to come in the next Xiaomi Pop Run, yes there will be one next year!

Xiaomi Launches Redmi Note 12 Series, AIoT Devices to Live Vivid!

Took the trip down south to see what Xiaomi has up their sleeves as they launch the new Redmi Note Series and a couple of AIoT devices that's designed for the modern, smart home.

They did have us tinker around with the devices on their experience kiosks at the Grand Ballroom of Mariott Hotel in Pasay City and here's what happened!

Their call for this launch is to #LiveVivid which stems from the launched phone which has got a 200MP primary camera. It's already available for Pre-Order from 15th to the 21st. It's got a Flow AMOLED screen (a debut on the Redmi Note Pro 5G), Dolby vision Atmos, which makes your videos vividly amazing. It is also equipped with an IMX 766 which can capture more light, usually it is seen on flagship camera systems but now is available on this phone. You get vivid shots day or night, also has OIS so you don't have blurry shots. You can also use the proprietary imaging software and camera filters so your photos look good on any occasion. With a battery of 5000mAh, turbo charging, you can last using it all day.

The Redmi Note 12 5G Pro + on the other hand has a 200 MP resolution camera, a wide aperture, makes your photos stunning, with true to life colors. Even if it's dark, it can still capture details. It retains light and lose noise. It also has OIS for shaky hands when taking videos, plus the 200 MP can make you compose better shots by framing other parts of the photo to see more things captured by it. Xiaomi Pro Cut is also a great tool to fix your output, things that you can make with a  few clicks, with the long battery capacity, faster and safe charging.

The Redmi Note 12 on the other hand has fun colors, pro level display, flagship 120Hz AMOLED display (so you can smoothly see videos on fast refresh rate. It has a Snapdragon 685 processor and triple camera system that also has AI.

The AIoT devices on the other hand include a couple more wearables. The Redmi Watch 3 can do Bluetooth Calls, modified with different strap colors, does health metrics, and last up to 12 days (so no annoying charging probs!). It's best for fitness enthusiasts since to has different functions to check vital data to those who need it. There's also new cameras like the C200 that takes 1080p videos, a 360 panorama view, IR and motion enabled recording so it doesn't miss security issues in your home. If you prefer a cam with 2K quality, the C300 could do that instead whilst the C400 can do 1440p, relatively cheap as everything is under 3000 pesos. If you want to install something outdoors, the AW300 has dust proof and waterproof features, and still is as affordable like the others. Xiaomi had Air Fryers, Smart Door Locks and a throng of Mi devices which you can use to make your home a smart one.
