REALME Launches NARZO 20, Holds Team Payaman vs Team Chooks and Doggie Battle

All the milestones they've had this year and realme still isn't stopping there. After copping the second spot in the most sold smartphone in the country, here they are launching another one called realme narzo 20.

This new phone boasts a 6000mAh Mega Battery which can last you hours (imagine the games you could play) and upto 45 Days Standby time. It has a 16.5cm (6.5”) Fullscreen and 88.7% Screen-to-body Ratio, which gives you a more immersive gaming experience. This also packs a Helio G85 processor, no game can get unflipped. It also performed above 200K in the AnTutu Benchmark, that's how powerful it is. This also uses an 18W Type-C Quick Charger which can get you more juice in less time. This also doesn't fail in photos as it has a 48MP AI Triple Camera, you can deliver stunning shots. Group shots or products would look awesome as its got an Ultra Wide and Macro lens, the videos are also good (I use realme for  my YouTube videos), I see real quality and that is what they delivered here with the realme narzo 20.

Aside from that launch, they also made the impossible possible as they invited two severely entertaining guys Team Payaman and Team Chooks and Doggie to play several rounds of Mobile Legends. I guess the 150K+ attendance was proof of how excited people are even during pandemic, they got to see also who reigned supreme! This is part of the three day launch of realme narzo 20, but don't leave yet, because come Monday, they're launching something really special. 

 

Stay tuned for that!

Celebrities Root for Samsung Galaxy Note20

Who else but Miss Universe Catriona Gray, Restaurateur and content creator Erwan Heussaff, Bianca Gonzalez and huge gamer Gino Quillamor vouched for the new Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Note 20 Ultra. 

For Cat, she loves taking notes with the Note 20's S pen and scribble everything on Samsung Notes. She's a very busy woman and with the various charities and causes she's involved in, there's a lot of paperwork or documents that need to be signed. She also love writing down ideas, so she could asses where she could help. She also designs textile prints so whenever she's got an idea, she whips out her phone and starts doing it.

Erwan on the other hand is so much of a food enthusiast. Whenever he feels, hears, sees, taste some special dishes on his travels, he writes them down for inspiration. There are a lot of ways to discover things so he puts them all on his blog and vlog. He also takes the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra along to take videos because it can shoot 8K quality, which is impressive for something handheld. Bianca on the other hand relies on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra's 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2.0 display to view photos and videos. She needs this a lot being in the media, to host shows, you've got to know what you are talking about and she even uses the Samsung DeX to easily connect her phone to her Smart TV so she can both view reports, current events and still do useful things on her smartphone. Gino on the other hand uses the Galaxy Note20 Ultra’s Game Booster with an enhanced NPU to make sure he gets ahead of the pack. Gaming takes a lot of resources, and it needs to have a fast refresh rate so he can do hand eye coordination at max speed, and he's thankful the phone can do 120Hz for its refresh rate. Imagine the things you can do with that on third person shooters or rpg's, he's pretty fond of that.

Honestly, I haven't had the pleasure of actually using a Samsung device in my lifetime. I've seen them with friends and I see how happy they are. If you're looking for something nice, these Galaxy Note20 Series are available starting October 14 til the 31st. Several Samsung Experience Stores are offering this at 0% interest up to 24 months. You can opt for the "Buy Now, Pay Later" promo or the “Trade in, Save Up” program if you prefer it that way. Go to participating Samsung Experience stores til December 31st so you can get them in deals that are unbelievable.

UNBOXING The ASUS VivoBook S14

I've been looking for a laptop computer and this was a good day to test out a new laptop computer from our friends at ASUS. This is the new ASUS VivoBook S14, one of the few laptop computers that is equipped by an 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 Processor.

I have decided to do an unboxing video for it, so please indulge! 

This is equipped with an NVIDIA® GeForce® MX350 and an Intel® Iris Plus Graphics card. It also comes in different colorways namely Indie Black, Gaia Green, Resolute Red, Dreamy White. I love this one the most because I can stay in my monochrome palette (see my blog is also monochrome haha) and I can just jazz it up with stickers later so it would match my personality. It actually also comes with several stickers on the box and I was happy with the choices.

The screen has a frameless NanoEdge look with an 85% screen-to-body ratio. I'm gonna be able to have more space in it to put files when I do decide it's time to have a messy deskptop screen lol. Currently, this has a 500 Gig SSD drive and it's apt enough for office work or school. I would suggest you get a separate drive if you're planning to use this for creating videos as that might not be sufficient for HD or 4K quality. I can carry it but if you're the type who archives these things, that might be the solution. I also like the fact that I can transfer files, video and photos as it still has full I/O ports which includes USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C®, USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, 2 USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI, an Audio combo jack, a MicroSD card reader and a DC-in for the power. The connection utilizes an Intel Wi-Fi 6 with Gig+ which means it employs the 802.11ax standard. They really took time to put technology here.

This weighs nice at 1.4kg, I could easily pick it up and change spots with one hand while I carry around my bag with the other. Imagine how that applies in a coffee shop, it'll be easy anywhere.

Honestly, I haven't had the chance to use this for gaming but with recent checks, this can do Valorant, Genshin Impact, GTA5 too which I plan to do in the next few weeks. Overall, this impresses me most with how it can handle common office tasks, pretty fast in fact and that's what I do currently. Actually, I finished this blog post in a few minutes because of it, isn't that a good thing?

Watch out for more tests, see you on the next one!

Kokoy De Santos Chooses Who To Love in OH MANDO!

We spent this evening talking to the Director and actors of the upcoming series OH MANDO! which stars current King of BL Kokoy De Santos and hot guy Alex Diaz and lovely Barbie Imperial. This series will be shown tomorrow on the iWantTFC platform and if you haven't downloaded that yet, please do so you can watch this series which was shot before the lockdown happened in Manila.

During the blogcon, Barbie was asked about the challenges she had to go through during the pandemic and she says "The most challenging part was being away from my family and what's important is that I am keeping my job so I can earn for my family too. Until now I have family in Albay and Catanduanes, I am afraid of knowing what happened to them. It's different now, I don't think I would be able to go back home for Christmas because of the way things are. I don't even know if permits are needed, I'm a bit happy now though because my Mom and my brother are here with me." awww that's nice to know.

Barbie was also asked about what she has learned doing this role and if she had to choose a person to love in real life... and she says "For me, I don't mind if you're straight or not, as long as they respect me, I'm a bit bakla in real life and people don't know that. I am very open, I grew up in the streets, as long as I'm not being looked down upon I am okay. As long as that person likes you, love has no gender."

Alex was asked about what he learned from his character and he says "Oh Mando means love is love is love. It has brought us to a place where we always think about what other people would say, and for me, I have gotten to a point where I don't care anymore as long as I'm not stepping on anybody's toes, I'm fine. We just have to make sure we love as much as we can."

 Kokoy says "I know love has no gender, romantic or not, you can't stop that because we all are human. Don't stop yourself from doing that. I have always wished for projects like these, something that has a twist, a romcom, so I did try out for it. This is so satisfying to do as an actor, to work with them all, I am so thankful for that. This is a family related series, my decisions also have them in mind so I would never do something that wouldn't benefit them."

Here's what happened during the blogcon, so make sure you do download the iWant TFC app and get your subscription going. This would be so nice to watch starting tomorrow!
