It's been only a few months and change has definitely happened with the brand of iStudio Plus. After being a Premium Apple Reseller for years, they now carry MORE brands under their belt. What this means for consumers is OPTIONS, that in this day and age of different smartphone brands and accessories, you've got iStudio Plus stores you can go to.
After covering the iStudio Plus iPhone 16 event a couple weeks ago, they have opened up a brand new store over at the 3rd Floor of Shangri-la Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City. We were able to get first dibs on some of the brands that they carry including top fan manufacturer Jisulife, smartphone manufacturer Samsung, and the really fun Divoom, a brand that has lots of bags, speakers, microphones, LED and accessories. iStudio plus also has their own branded products, which I love every bit of.
They carry Philips products, but I fancied this huge 30,000mAh power bank. It's small but compared to other brands, this has more capacity.
This is one of the things that are iStudio branded, they've got a lot! But what I dig about this brick is the two outputs. I don't have to wait for one device to charge and can do it at the same time!
A big surprise was this JBL Wind 3S portable bluetooth speaker, you can attach this to bikes when you're outdoors. Enjoy the fun of music even in the midst of your workout. There's more where this came from!
Being a Premium Apple Reseller, they carry Apple products like this Apple TV 4K. It's got really good audio and video quality. With it, you can Facetime people while you're in the living room. It also has access to Apple original shows and films!
Because it's hot in the Philippines, iStudio Plus carries Jisulife products. Different from the usual wireless rechargeable fans in the market, this is much stronger and lasts quite a long time. This is why it's the top selling brand of portable fans in the country, and in the world.
I'm a sucker for really good bluetooth speakers. Divoom has these. This is the Divoom Spark Pop Bluetooth Speaker, a kind of small portable speaker which they carry in store. Don't be fooled by how small it is because it sound so loud and crisp in real life. Imagine the things you can do with this while you're traveling to other countries or domestically. You don't have to be bored at all!
This is just the tip of the iceberg, during the event, they also told us that they're planning to open/revamp a few more stores within the year. They are also targeting even more before 2030. It's going to be more convenient shopping for phones, audio, video devices and accessories because they made it all in one place, at iStudio Plus!
I'd like to take this bit to thank the folks at iStudio Plus for letting us see what's about to happen at their store in Shangri-la Plaza Mall. From the looks of it, it's amazing!
Gateway Mall 2 was full of people. There were enthusiasts, realme fans, media and executives as they make another installment of REALME FANFEST this 2024.
Aside from the various games and activities they prepared for us, they also launched the realme 13 Pro Series, the new realme Watch S2 and the realme Buds T310.
The realme 13 Pro 5G and realme 13 Pro+ is dubbed as "DSLR in your pocket!". A tall order, but they made it possible with the Ultra Clear Camera it has armed with AI. Hardware wise, it's got a Sony LYT 600 OIS lens. They used a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 5G Chipset, 24GB RAM and 512GB Storage to make sure it performs well and doesn't run out of space for photos/videos. Inspired by Monet, they also have it in 3 different colors. Some of which have polished metal, and vegan leather at the back.
The new realme Watch S2 on the other hand has 20 day battery life, hundreds of watch faces, an AI engine and more sports and health measurement for your active lifestyle. It's also dust and water resistant, so if you run outdoors you'll have less worry. The realme Buds T310 looks extra fun now. It has noise cancellation, spatial audio and dynamic bass drivers. I enjoyed the buds predecessor and have it in my bag til now. It performs quite nice, lasts a long time. This one promises over 40 hours of playback, so imagine the songs you could play with it while doing your everyday work. The noise reduction feature comes in 3 tiers too, so if you're in a busy place, things can really be heard better with these new functions made by AI Deep Call Noise Reduction.
Techlife also showcased their best home products, I want that vacuum cleaner now :)
They also managed to do a full on dance contest at the activity center and awarded OBS Fuego Eterno the championship, the crowd loved them every bit. They also held a search for the next face of realme here influencers Diego Aranda and Sammie Amboy won it. They both got 100K cash for that and 50K worth of realme products. That's a good reason for you to join next year no?
Just got home from a KathNiel event this evening at the Microtel by Wyndham in UP Technohub Quezon City. The two function rooms were full to the brim of loyal KathNiel fans, of different ages converged celebrating the official 11th year of the fandom and the 10th year anniversary of Kath and DJ as boyfriend and girlfriend.
This was sort of a huge THANK YOU from the lovely couple Kathryn Bernardo and her man Daniel Padilla. They arranged this solely for them, to show how much they appreciate their support over the years. This is for the fans and their undying love for the two brightest stars of ABSCBN.
Usually, it's the other way around that happens in the Philippines, but they knew, there was always a clamor to celebrate their 10th year... but then the pandemic happened. I've always have an affinity with these two, because with the several encounters I've had with them... they've always been so nice as people. It wasn't rocket science that they have been loved by many because as Daniel puts it, he says "We put a part of our lives out there, and when you share a part of yourself with people, like Kath is from the province, and I'm from the hood, it's the reason why they can relate. They see themselves in us, and if you think about it, it's not a secret!"
Kath and DJ watched their fans have fun and raffle prizes during the event
The event was hosted by DJ JHAIHO and KaladKaren
Daniel even directed the part where we took photos, and as you can see, it's perfect!
And he's perfect!
And just look at Kath, she's a Queen!
How can you not love her?! <3
Here are videos we recently uploaded on YouTube about the KathNiel Thanksgiving Event. Please, enjoy!
I'd like to take this bit to say THANK YOU to Kath and DJ for always being so nice to us bloggers when we're covering their events and shows. I guess you can already tell, I'm a fan. The two divulged a movie that will be shown next year, and two projects that they will be doing separately. They're still in talks with some of the other things they plan to do, so make sure you follow them on their social channels to get updates about it. Cheers #KathNiel!
