Kathryn Bernardo and Alodia Hints New realme 5G Smartphone?

 

 

There are leaks, but there are some really obvious hints of a new 5G smartphone from realme with these two posts from Teen Queen Kathryn Bernardo and Cosplay Queen Alodia Gosengfiao. realme as you may know has already copped the #1 spot in sales figures released since third quarter last year and continue to grow despite the pandemic. 

5G structure has already been built in the past couple of years and utilizing it as it becomes available is surely the way to go. But there are only a few phones that are capable of it. realme has of course proven itself in the manners of making it quality, powerful, but affordable. In Kathryn's post, she was just casually telling how she's now started to pick up gaming as a hobby delving into popular ones like Call of Duty Mobile,  Mobile Legends Bang Bang, League of Legends Wild Rift and PUBG Mobile among others. Then Alodia did a screen shot and placed a couple of hashtags signifying #InfinitePossibilitieswith5G and tells Kat that it's going to be exciting from here. Well that to me is a clear indication of a 5G phone we have no knowledge of yet.

Seems to me it's about to happen soon. Better follow their social channels so you get first dibs, or better yet follow @kumagcow so we could hang and talk about it more. Like their previous releases, I hope it's affordable, powerful and of quality.

SAMSUNG Outs Two Entry Level Phones Galaxy M02 and M12

The Samsung Galaxy M02 and the Samsung Galaxy M12

Looks like Samsung is going to be giving consumers a LOT of choices this year. Recently, they launched 2 new entry level phones in the market and we've gotten to test out one of them, the Samsung Galaxy M12. The other one they launched is the Samsung Galaxy M02. 

Here's our first impression of the new Samsung Galaxy M12 on video:

The Galaxy M12 comes in Black, Blue and Green. It's got a 6.5 inc HD+TFT display, an Octa Core 2GHz Exynos 850 Processor, comes in 4GB and 64GB storage. You can also expand it to 1TB on a separate micro SD card and enjoy hours of social media, streaming and gaming as its got a 5000 mAh battery. It also has Quad rear cameras featuring a 48MP main cam, 5MP ultra wide, 2MP Macro and 2MP for depth of field. The front camera is an 8MP, so you can still take awesome selfie shots with apt amount of details. The phone also has got 15W fast charging capability, a finger print scanner on the side and dolby atmos audio. I have had the privilege of editing photos, videos, recording them as well and it performed at par/even better than other entry level phones on this price range. It did run Mobile Legends and Call of Duty Mobile on it, I've enjoyed several minutes of games before I started browsing social media channels on it. 

The more affordable Samsung Galaxy M02 on the other hand carries a Quad Core MT6739WW processor. It also got a 2GB RAM and 32GB storage for all your photos and videos. It comes in Black, Blue and Gray colorways and has dual back cameras that have 12MP main and 2MP for macro shots. It also has a 5MP front camera which is ample for selfies and taking videos for socials. Currently, the prices for these two land on Php 7,490 for the Samsung Galaxy M12 and Php 4,490 for the Samsung Galaxy M02.

Samsung also has an exclusive #MakeYourMove sale on Lazada so if you prefer the Galaxy M12, it would be best to get it from there. The Galaxy M02 on the other hand can be bought in Samsung partner stores like MX MemoXpress Online, Shopee, Abenson, Gizmo Central, Galleon and Samsung.com. There's lots of things Samsung is introducing soon, perhaps more AIOT devices? Smart homes? They're just starting!

Google Pays Homage to Philippines Today!

If you haven't been paying attention, Google showed some changes today on its home page as the Philippines celebrate its 123rd independence day by doing a doodle.

The Philippine flag stands so proud with its red, white, blue colors as well as the three stars and the sun which signifies the 8 provinces that fought for independence back in the day. That's so sweet of them to do no? Now go and find it on Google.com and see how it waves on the main page!

But lemme ask you, are we really free?

I thought so.
