KATHRYN BERNARDO at the realme 11 Pro 5G Series Launch

realme just launched the new realme 11 Pro 5G Series with the one and only Queen Kathryn Bernardo. This includes the realme 11 Pro+ 5G and the realme 11 Pro 5G.

Kathryn's been very busy these couple of months as she's doing a film called "A Very Good Girl" with famed actress Dolly De Leon. Shooting was tough but Kath was thankful she got to spend the days after with the realme family just to launch these special phones in the Philippines.

If you haven't seen it, the realme 11 Pro+ 5G has a 200MP OIS SuperZoom Camera and a 120Hz Curved OLED Display. It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor and utilizes a 100W SUPERVOOC Charge to fill up a 5000mAh battery. The realme 11 Pro 5G on the other hand uses a 100MP ProLight Camera and a 67W instead for the charger. Dolby Atmos Dual Stereo Speakers means you've got entertainment handled by it easily. If you haven't tried it yet, go visit their TikTok Shop, or their main E-Store to get discounts when available.

Neil Zou the CEO of realme Philippines says "From websites to magazines and broadsheets, we love our partners and the things we achieved together. We are announcing this new series for the realme brand."

Jane Yan VP for Marketing adds "The realme number series started since 2019 and we want to bring this flagship features to be enjoyed by everyone. No leap, no launch, so if there is no design or technology advancement, there would be no launch. The Pro variants all carry the realme master design, this is why we have the best in class realme 11 Pro Series 5G. This August we will have the realme fanfest in different parts of the country until this September. I hope you guys are ready, because we want you to see the world up close!"

Jimclaude Gayo the product manager details "The realme 11 Pro Series 5G encourages you to do more as it is designed by Matteo Menotto. He wanted to pay tribute to Milan in its overall design. The look is contemporary, the rising sun (the lens) and the beige color is the sunlight spilling hence the very aesthetic look. He combined architecture, natural light, and is made of premium Lychee Vegan leather. This makes it sophisticated and stylish, with a metallic feel, high gloss, and is also available in Oasis Green. It's got 120Hz Curved OLED Display, high refresh rate so you get less strained eyes. It also has best color accuracy, double reinforced glass, and a Mediatek Dimensity Processor. It boasts a 200MP Camera and has OIS for those unstable shots you often post on social media. They also employ Super Nightscape mode, 4K video, smart long exposure or dual video for those into vlogging. The front cam is 32MP from Sony, and can charge fast with a 100W SUPERVOOC Charge and it's 5000 mAh battery. It's still slim and lightweight, available in 12GB+512GB Storage."

The phone is available in Astral Black, and has filters from Lonely Planet that looks like polaroids when you're doing filters. Try it out when you're in the area.

Z4 ESports Takes RMC Season 7 Championship

We had a lot of fun watching teams battle it out at the RMC (realme Mobile Legends Cup) at the activity center of SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City. It's an annual event made to even further develop ESports gaming teams in the Philippines while showcasing the best mobile phones from realme, specifically the realme C53.

First up is the showmatch of SIBOL Team that won a SEA Games Gold Medal. Much talk about them being challenged by their foe the TNC Pro Team. During drafts much of their picks involved banning those who can pull and be tanky like Kaja, Franco, Kufra, Helcurt and others. TNC also chose a few fast fighters, marksmans, and a tank while Sibol had fast fighters and a mage to deal more damage. Sibol overwhelmed them in the map. 

 

Filipino Rap Lord Gloc9 gave us a show!

In the second match, Sibol had to battle it out with Smart Omega. Omega chose to band the fast fighters and chose fighter tanks and a mage while Sibol chose fighter and armor type heroes. Sibol also chose characters that can take down towers quite fast, taking advantage of the new emblem system in the recent update. It was a pretty tough match, quite close, but in the end it was team Sibol that took the win. Best talent award for the season went to Chantelle, she was also given the MVP later on in the celebrity match wherein Team Santie won too. Smart Omega Empress by the way also won the championship for the Women's League before this game, that was a good run!

Then the RMC Season 7 Championship match started, well not really. The supposed match between Team Z4 Esports Pegaxy and Elite was done in just a few minutes because after several attempts of getting in touch with them, Elite didn't show up, therefore awarding the win to Z4 Esports Pegaxy. They won Php 400,000 cash and a 150K worth of realme products.

Congratulations boys!

realme Launches 9 Pro and 9Pro+

Folks looking for a phone would be so happy as realme just released the realme 9 Pro. It's got hybrid dual sim slots (one you can use for micro SD storage), a huge 6.6 inch screen, 1080p 30fbs video, 16MP front camera, and three cams on the back with 64MP, 8MP (for ultra wide shots) and 2MP macro. Very pretty too as it's colorways are in Aurora Green, Sunrise Blue and Midnight Black in some countries.

Battery life is good for long play as it's got 500mah LiPo batteries. You can fast charge it too with 33W power with the proprietary USB C cable.In a way, this is a little like the realme 8 but the improvements and additions are sufficient to be called the 9 Pro. This is also available in 6/8GB RAM versions with the Snapdragon 695 5G processor, runs Android 12 and the new realme UI 3.0 which people love. The 128GB storage also is huge, so you can have photos, videos and lots of apps installed without deleting stuff. A little important for me because I do a lot of these things.

Austin Huang VP for Marketing of realme says "After being named the number 1 phone in 2021, thank you for your continued support for the brand. We have always kept our ears listening to the changing standards of the world. Among our offerings, we are excited to push boundaries with the realme 9 Pro series. Flagship features for a mid range phone. We dare you capture the light like a pro, to cater to a dynamic lifestyle." 

 

 

realme 9 Pro+

The phones will be having a bigger sensor, bigger light intake and better photos. The realme 9 Pro Plus on the other hand has better image output, better photos in low light situations, steady and still with OIS that helps with lessening blur for videos. It's a hardware and software combination that gets you to lessen noise, so you get a worthy image to post on socials and print. The audio has dual speakers with dolby atmos, those movie nights would never be the same. The realme 9 Pro+ has a MediaTek Dimensity 720 5G Processor, 4,500 mAh battery, Vapor Chamber Cooling System so you don't have to worry about heating. It's also got 60W Super Dart Charge, only takes you a couple minutes to full charge your phone. Don't be confused what to get though because both of them are quite good. 5G ready phones at this price point is simply good already, but they packed it with good hardware. 

According to tests done by realme Philippines, they've gotten no problems in gaming. Albeit sweat and intense use would play a role, they've had not seen any issues with the phones they've gotten. As for aftersales service, they have 20 locations nationwide minus one because of a fire in Alabang, but they're currently expanding in the country, so there's more places you can go to if you encounter issues.

They will also have realme Buds Air 3 launched on the 15th so stay tuned for that. It's very minimalist, active noise cancellation, 42dB of it. 30hours of playback. Dynamic Bass Bosst Driver too so you're getting that party done in your own head when you need it. It's also iPX5 water resistant, perfect for summer fun!
