VIVO Security Innovations

It's been always a priority for smartphone brands to innovate and I think Vivo won't be hanging around and let others lead the way. Yes currently, there are security features and use biometric measures to do it. If you haven't been to CES, it's where brands and companies showcase the best of the best of their work and just recently in CES 2018, Vivo introduced some really good measures in Las Vegas Nevada. I've used similar technologies in the past and did fingerprint scan locks only on the home button or the back of the phone, but this time, Vivo just came out with the first under display fingerprint scanner. Isn't that amazing? Now you can unlock your phone with the pattern on your fingers when you touch the display screen of your phone, unprecedented with any brand so far.

Aside from that, they are using the 24MP camera for their advantage and employ it for facial recognition functions. It uses 100 different facial identification points which means it would only identify you if you've got accurate parts of your face identified. It doesn't need to be complicated because the security this one does works for you. This identifies the depth of your face so you get a precise and effective security access all the time.

But that won't end there because they will still put the fingerprint scanner at the back so you can still use your index finger. This only means Vivo cares more about its users and it's always looking for ways to improve the security of your data by using the best thing to identify a user, your face, your body parts, and I like that part most. Check out www.vivo.com/ph and their social media accounts if you have questions about the new phones they have inside the store. The Vivo V7+ is the latest, it's pretty handy and lightweight, and will do the right amount of security you need to open it. Easy, take a look at it soon!

Elite Games Expo at SM Annex

I have been an avid fan of mobile games since way back when. Mind you I used to join contests before when consoles were non existent and there was a multitude of arcade boxes in malls across the country. That to me felt like real gaming, but indeed times have changed. Games have gone ultimately handy, faster, better, and you don’t even have to be present... you can be anywhere in the world and enjoy it wherever and whenever you are.

I learned about the Elite Games Expo a couple days ago when one of my favorite games from Fincon, Hello Hero Epic Battle set an open invitation to all guardians to meet at the SM City North Edsa Annex. It was so much fun to see gamers, developers, and media people experience the games they've released first hand. I also saw some of the active people who plays the same game as I do, in a way I got to know the person behind the names while I stayed incognito. I did sign up my IGN because they were giving away diamonds to players who would do a few things on their facebook page and sign up at the event as well. It's a good day to get to know the people who decide on things for promoting it on ASEAN soil.

EGI Managing Director RA Reyes was flanked by GCA Director Richard Moon at the small luncheon and they said “We are working with schools and institutions now and we want to make sure we make relationships with them. Game, sound design, developers and graphic designers, it’s a very small chunk to what we actually want to happen. People in the academe have not been exposed to the industry. Fincon is working on creating content specifically for the Philippines and aside from this, they have done the Influencer party a couple of days ago which means they are eager to connect with the community. Pretty soon there will be more companies that will be at the southeast asian market which is huge. We might see some of them on E-Sports, currently the industry are divided as far as policies and I don’t have a personal opinion about it but we have to talk to parties and meet them half way (with the GAB ruling).”

Here's the video interview I did with some online and gaming media that afternoon.

So for those who love the games and want to experience the other titles they are promoting, they have individual Facebook pages dedicated to each game. Download it off the Google Play store and the App Store first and see if the gameplay fits you, like what Hello Hero actually fits me for years now.

As mentioned earlier by their executives, they will be having different legs across Southeast Asia and it will happen very soon. The updates will be seen on their channels so make sure you follow them if you haven't yet!

GMA Records Outs Migo Adecer's "Suntok Sa Buwan"

Promising as promising could be, Migo Adecer is slowly creeping the star ladder. After winning Starstruck last 2015, he's been in a rollercoaster ride appearing in GMA's brightest shows, tons of TV and provincial guestings, plus another feather to his hat which we just heard today. The boy has charm, good looks, but have always regarded singiimg quite close to his heart. He's no stranger perfoming covers in appearances and I've personally seen him do pop songs, rnb, dance hits and enjoy it with his fans, I could tell how he wants it to happen. GMA Records recommended a song and he liked it a lot, and he wanted to make it a bit more personal so he's touched this a bit, done in Filipino, and that's where his new song "Suntok Sa Buwan" started... and we liked what we're hearing.

Migo says "I am taking my job seriously than when I first started, it’s a bit hard to actually learn Filipino and acting so I’m taking it as is because I have assignments while I’m working. I’m finally become one with my roots, when it was pitched to me I heard it and first thought it wouldn’t suit me. I was told I could add my personality, it was amazing when I first heard it after recording it. I pictured it singing like Ms. Kuh Ledesma, I wouldn’t want this to be half baked music and I’ll give it my best. Hearing people say it’s good and how it was a magical moment to do the rap part was actually good. I had 12-16 lessons in Australia, singing in my bedroom too and I always rapped, but professionally this is beta. I hope I’ll be able to do mid this year it would be a little more dark, I like my music that way. I’m 18 and I understand it a little more, maybe I can express who I am more. My management is well handling things and I am ready to take challenges thrown to me, I respect them and I’ll be doing, I have been with keeping it down low with my relationships too."

Here'a a bit of our conversation, and a sample of his singing. Enjoy!

If you want to hear it, it's now available on digital stores and streaming sites worldwide. This is under GMA Records. Make sure you say your piece on social media and tag him, he'll appreciate that!

Darren Espanto and Sassa Dagdag Uses Vivo V7+ for Music

 Darren Espanto and Sassa Dagdag are no strangers in the entertainment industry. Their stint at The Voice Kids Philippines landed them gigs left and right, a couple of albums in their belt and they got to be a part of the Vivo Family last September. Now armed with the Vivo V7+, they're enjoying their phones to a whole new level to make their music careers easier to handle, so those gigs and live performances would be flawless, as it should.

 

Darren loves to listen to KPOP music, he dances to the beat and is pretty good at it. He's got a self-entitled full studio album, topping the charts and has got a Platinum award to prove that point. Each time he sings, he needs to listen to his music and uses the Vivo V7+ to do that before he goes up the stage, even his current hit Dying Inside is included. It's already amassed about 300K views and is still doing mall visits with Vivo, plus joined their CSR activity at the V. Luna hospital last December for the Marawi soldiers, a very noble act indeed.

Sassa right now is still at it. Her version of Sia’s Chandelier is memorable and is getting 3 million views on Youtube. If you've heard her version of Beyonce’s Halo, you'll be crying buckets of tears on how she depicted herself for that song, it's been watched tons of times on the site and is still getting traction til now. She did an SM Southmall mall tour last year with Vivo, and a couple more in SM Pampanga and Fishermall in Quezon City. She's going to be very busy this year so make sure you get to hang with her and Vivo V7+ who promises to take her across the country.

Darren and Sassa is taking advantage of the Vivo V7+ hi-fidelity audio chip, the great photos and selfies it can do, so you should too. They also watch their performances on video, once it gets uploaded on Youtube for everyone to see.

Visit the VIVO official website at www.vivo.com/ph and their social media channels if you want to know more about the Vivo V7+.
