The New Impressive Samsung Galaxy A22

I've had the chance to actually use this new addition to the Galaxy A series, it's the Samsung Galaxy A22. Made for tho/se who are into content creation, this is equipped with a powerful camera that gets quality in fun and colorful ways. In the Philippines, available colors like Black, White, Mint and Violet colors. The one I got to use for a few days was Black and I actually like how it looks.

You can say it's photo and video centric because it's got Quad cameras on the back, wherein the main one has 48MP, 8MP for the ultra wide lens, and 2MP for the others like Macro and Depth of Field lens. Now if you're usually with shaky hands, you utilize the Optical Image Stabilizer so your viewers won't feel dizzy watching your YouTube videos. The A22 is also smart, it uses intelligent AI camera experience so scenes are identified right away just by merely pointing at a subject. For dark or low light scenes, the Night Mode would help not just to see the images, but to capture stable shots so you get awesome photos. The phone's scene optimizer automatically adjusts the levels of brightness, contrast, white balance and other elements of the images. If you prefer, you can also edit it according to filters available in the phone (and adjust it to your liking).

Viewing movies, KDrama and just about any game with its Super AMOLED Display will surely be an amazing experience and possibly, you'll appreciate the 90Hz refresh rate that it can do when you play moba or FPS games on mobile. This phone also has Eye Comfort shield that lessens blue light that won't be comfy in the eyes especially in the evenings.

Your imagination would surely be the only limit with this phone, it ain't that expensive either at Php 11,990. You can get it in Samsung online or Experience Stores nationwide. There's also available promos which you can take advantage of, you'll get it after purchasing the smartphone and registering as a Samsung Member. There are also flexible terms at 0%, just head to the store and ask for it. This phone also lasted me quite a few days before I had to connect it to a charger with regular social use. The 5000mAh battery does that, and it charges fast because of the 15W capability. Don't say I didn't tell you about it. Oh and yes, the Galaxy A22 5G version is Php 13,990, a few thousand bucks difference ain't bad no?

Choose according to your liking. For me, the A22 is enough and sufficient.

Amazon Holds Global Selling Expo-Seller Bootcamp

If you've heard of Amazon and have no idea how it works (especially if you're planning to sell there), we're in the same boat. Recently, they held the "2021 Amazon Expo -  Seller Bootcamp" aimed to introduce micro, small and medium enterprises to a more global e-commerce platform and how the Amazon framework can help build a business with a worldwide audience.

A recent survey comissioned by Amazon Global Selling marked the Philippines to have the highest number of homegrown sellers compared to other ASEAN countries. This accounts for a greater number of Filipino MSME's that have no access or opportunities to do cross border business, amidst the high demand of online shopping in online channels, apps, through digital models. Mr. Bernard Tay, the Head of Amazon Global Selling in Southest Asia says "The Philippines currently has a very young but fast developing e-commerce industry. MSME's in this region need to develop understanding and implementing cross border operations and international logistics. This Seller bootcamp would be a great opportunity especially for small businesses so they could identify gaps in procedures and arm themselves with the know-how, assets and network that would be able to bring their business to the world through Amazon."

They have gotten over 1.3K MSME's that have registered in the bootcamp which is a virtual event that spans 3 days so they get to listen to experts discussing subjects such as cross country payments, how to ship, taxation, flow of prospect customers and complexities of marketing. This was done after data was released from Cross Border E-commerce Awareness and Perception Reports that embodied over 1,600 MSME respondents coming from Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines wherein they pinpointed a lack of information in cross country e-commerce. This sector was also forecasted to grow by 30% in 2026 which is why they want to equip them through innovative programs that would help them grow into a global business and adapt to the digital transformation every country is going through. Challenges include supply chain and logistics, costs, and competition versus other international sellers in the Amazon platform. Amazon is in the process of building a state of the art fulfillment and delivery system that does Fulfillment by Amazon (which they have done in other countries) so the company picks it up, packs it and ship, and also provide customer service for the products they sell. Logistics providers were also invited in the bootcamp to explain how it works, how it is managed and tell them how to take on these challenges. The Philippine MSME's puts this as their top concern, then their readiness.

Amazon has built resources for MSME's in the region and around the world so businesses could expand easier. Combined with the efforts of each industry stakeholders and governments of each country, they've continued to grow together with their seller partners. This will be a good accompaniment to their current Seller University nad hundreds of tools and services present in Amazon's channels around the world. Look it up, it may just be your time to shine!
