DITO Mobile Offers Postpaid FLEXPlans

Looks like DITO Mobile is aggressively taking on mobile networks as they offer new prepaid offers through their new FLEXPlans, but made more affordable with different options.

SIM Only or with a Phone

FLEXPlan 388 for example is a SIM Only plan so if you have an existing phone, you can just get the sim. This would make you save because you don't have to shell out money for the monthly payment of a handset. Although with DITO, you can get the handsets in affordable terms too. Either or, you get Unlimited 5G data connection or set data packages from authorized stores nationwide.

You can also opt for premium handsets if you prefer one, to each his own. Here's a preview on my IG reel.

The demand for Smartphones have been huge especially during the pandemic. VST ECS is aggressively growing their portfolio in the mobility; and TCL always as been a leader in China. TCL has been known for affordable high quality products and mobile phones will be introduced with 2 models and additional ones soon. Not only in the smartphone but the tablet market, the price range is almost entry level. TCL is in the works of partnering with telcos, rest assured it is in the works but we will announce that once that confirmation has been done. They are confident with their partnership with VSTECS which is the reason they are now present in major appliance stores. Not only that, they have new model of TV's, iot Aircon, Washing Machine, Fridge, a whole new platform of appliances and even cars. The product itself is good for media consumption, it does display greatness which they have been intending since the start.

It also has a 6.78 inch screen, runs on Android 11 and TCL UI, a microSDXC which is a shared sim slot and quad cameras with a 16 MP main one, 5MP ultrawide, 2MP depth and 2MP macro lens.

All the big mobility retailers are part of that so you can expect it to be seen quite often. The TCL 20 SE is the most affordable at Php 7,990, at 6.8 inches it is going to be the best one in that segment. The best 5G phone in that price range of the TCL 10 5G can't be beaten as it will be packaged either with data plans, promotions and will be released soon. Aside from that, the TCL Tab 10S (same as the one released in the US) is an attractive study partner, also their wearables. There's still so much things that people should look forward to including after sales support that will be announced soon. TCL products come with one year warranty and infrastructure for support will come very soon.

Congratulations TCL and VSTECS! That was a super fun event!

All Day Fun with the vivo Y31

It's already summer and you can feel the heat in some of the days, but what keeps you busy at home? More often than not, your mobile phone is becoming your best friend as your activities are built around it. Smartphones like the vivo Y31 provide activities this 2021 that can do more fun and entertainment even on lockdown.

On Photography

You can do so much with a 48MP main camera. Aside from that, it also has a 2MP bokeh and macro lens which can do those creamy blurry backgrounds and super small photos clearly. You can have friends or family as subjects and do portraits. If they're not around, you can shoot your old toys or even those ants in the window sill. Photography can be done with almost anything!

Watch K Drama

Binge watching is something that you can do with your family or your special someone. K Drama these days talk about romance, coming of age films, action, even fantasy. There's a ton of them that have entertained millions of people, and that should include you. The vivo Y31 can handle hours of streaming, plus the FHD+ Halo FullView Display give really nice visuals. You could fall in love with the different characters, wish to come to South Korea for the food, the sights, and the soju. Maybe, just maybe, find love in the process. 

Level up your Gaming

It's pretty hard to win games these days. You need something that handles the connection, the graphics because the last thing you need to worry about is what you see on screen. Well, not to worry if you have the vivo Y31 because its got Multi-Turbo 4.0 which can get all of that taken cared of. All you need to do now is just concentrate on the game and start beating the enemies. It should make you level up your gaming and just be wary of the things that matter, not the phone.

There are tons of things you can do with a smartphone and you should always make it your companion so you can be productive everyday. Performance wise, it should do more right from the start because as soon as it opens those apps, it should be able to handle it without any problems and the vivo Y31 does that. If you want to know more about this specific model, go get information at http://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-Y31 or vivo Philippines on FB, IG and Twitter. They've got you covered!

REALME Reaps Awards To Start The Year

REALME is at it again as the mobile phone and AIOT product manufacturer gets well deserved awards on its belt this early. During the last quarter of 2020, they already got the top spot of sold mobile phones in the Philippines, but this time, they're being recognized by organizations and award giving bodies based in other countries.

For starters, they have been recognized in the Consumer Welfare category and bagged a Silver Anvil for it. This represents the Facebook Community they have started which is included in their Digital PR Program. Aside from that, they also got a bronze trophy from the prestigious Asia-Pacific version of Stevie awards. This is part of the Most Innovative Startup of the Year – Consumer Product Industries category, a cool feat for a brand that just started a few years ago. This contributes to the number of awards that REALME global has which includes 17 brand awards, 159 product awards and 5 top-tier design awards since 2020. And by the looks of it, they're just starting.

They plan to launch several products this 2021 including an expansion of their AIOT line which I am pretty excited about. Their digital weighing scale and toothbrush is phenomenal and I can't wait to see what else they have on their sleeves. I think it's going to be big!

Why is Vivo V5 Lite Better?

I could give a million reasons why, but honestly we all have our own opinion about this phone. With almost the same specifications, it has been compared to models from different competitors but it's quality remains to be seen. For selfie fans alone, they have been seeing how remarkable this phone is with it's 16 Megapixel camera. 

If you see shots from it's closest competitor, the differences would be surprising. The details alone would tell the difference as it looks better, fresh, closer to the real thing and doesn't over process images to the point that people and their skin become plasticky. From facial features, to hair, even the background can be seen digitally superior. It ehances features with the Beauty Face 6.0 and gives the female form wider eyes, brighter skin and makes men look more masculine and attends to the detaila facial structure and jawline. 

It also has it's propreitary Selfie Softlight which gives tones and images that almost professionally shot look that it doesn't need further editing. It also does a lot of good things even in low light conditions which other phones in the same price point couldn't quite match.

Sun Cellular Rolls Out "Sun Shop on Wheels"

Look at what just rolled in your neighborhood. For the love of giving you the best deals and affordable rates, Sun Cellular just added another way to get them closer to home that you ever think possible. From now on, you'll be seeing the Sun Shop On Wheels popping up in strategic locations nationwide. They launched this in Eastwood a few days ago in a very grand way too. 

I haven't seen any rates as low as the ones seen in these Sun Shop On Wheels because they were almost literally giving away phones. I even found one that costs P1 (One Peso) if you get the Plan 200. That's almost as cheap as the load kids use in one month and once that they get the plan, it's almost free no?

Sure enough, people flocked to the shop and got those phones in a jiffy. Since it's in Eastwood city, they got the yuppie crowd and the people living in condominium units getting those offers like hotcakes in the morning. I also saw some internet packages with exclusive gadget deals like 52 hours internet on Alcatel Pop 73G Tablet on Plan 450 of if you prefer, there's the 79 hours Internet if you get the Plan 600 plus TV Link. Plus that afternoon, look at who manned the Sun Shop On Wheels!

Oh yeah! It's Solenn Heussaff!

Model, host and all around lovely girl, Solenn Heussaff took time and got so many people inside the shop. Heck when they bought new phones, it's but right to at least have someone memorable in selfies too.

Then when everyone thought the festivities were already done, tons of people clad in Yellow also roamed around the area and pumped up the volume. It was a flash mob!

It was awesome and I've also seen several people shocked when these guys and gals bursted into a frenzy with their crazy dance steps right in the middle of Eastwood City!

Then after that, a short awarding ceremony was done to the first few subscribers who signed up for offers in the first ever Sun Shop on Wheels. He's a pretty lucky guy because he got to be with Sun endorsers Saab Magalona, Lauren Young and Mikael Daez.

Not only that, these models also handed out free gadgets to the first subscribers as an added bonus treat. They're very lucky because I know some of these are very expensive too!

Congratulations to the winners!

Michelle P. Curran, First Vice President and head of Sun Cellular Data and International Services said “We are now making it easier for Filipinos to go connect with friends and loved ones and go online, anytime. Our newest broadband services complement the broad range of products and services now available in our Sun Shop On Wheels - ensuring a rich and fulfilling Sun Cellular experience for all our subscribers.”

So make sure you follow all their media channels below so you know when Sun Shop On Wheels will be in your neighborhood soon!

Something good to know: HP Mobile Authentication

I own a multifunction HP printer and it has been with me for years. I only buy authentic HP cartridges but sometimes I often think about the people on the street who buy empty cartridges and probably make counterfeit versions of it. I fear that I'm probably not getting my money's worth if I buy just anywhere because chances are, I could be victimized by these unscrupulous individuals.

Good thing HP has security in place. Do you know about their HP Mobile Authentication?

Each box of these cartridges have their own QR code found on both HP Original ink and toner cartridge. These are its own security labels.

First, you need to visually check the label. These new HP Mobile Authentication labels feature a holographic image-shifting sticker other than just the QR code. Blackberry users probably have this by default. iPhone users on the other hand can probably download apps that read these things like the HP eSupplies app for iPhone available at the iTunes App Store; I've also seen some at the Google Play store.

If the cartridges/toner that you buy includes these new Mobile Authentication labels, those smartphone QR code readers I mentioned above can capture the security code.

Then you just have to simply view the response from the HP website.Obviously if it's OK, it'll show the sign on the left. If you see otherwise, then it's fake. You should definitely get your money's worth. You should report the matter to authorities or HP. It's not classy in the first place right? =)

The Nokia Asha Platform

Developers would have a grand time playing again with what Nokia has come out with on their Asha Smartphones. They would be able to utilize this Asha platform without having to re-write code which is good news once Nokia unleashes a 100 million of these new generation Asha smartphones in the coming years. They have recently done just that by releasing the Nokia Asha 501.

The Nokia Asha 501, it's got fun colors available!

Marco Argenti, the current head of Developer Experiences at Nokia says they've seen remarkable increase in demand for Asha smart phones as they have found this out in the number of downloads through the Nokia Store. The need for consumer apps at different price points is needed and now they've got incentives for developers to deliver those quality applications needed in the market.To date, they now have CNN, eBuddy, ESPN, Facebook, Foursquare, Line, LinkedIn, Nimbuzz, Pictelligent, The Weather Channel, Twitter, WeChat, World of Red Bulland games from EA, Gameloft, Indiagames, Namco-Bandai, Reliance Games and popular WhatsApp. Soon there will be more from other partners as they continue to grow on the Asha series.

Nokia will also have a beta release of an in app payment facility (www.developer.nokia.com/inapppayment) in the coming weeks and developers can apply for it soon. They will also have the Nokia Asha Software Development Kit 1.0 which is a suite of tools that can hasten development,testing, packaging and deployment of Java apps for the Asha platform. There will be more applications available for the series and the Philippine Nokia App developers should definitely take advantage of what Nokia offers as part of an emerging market for small-medium priced smart phones.

A Great Place to Start to Go Mobile!

In this day and age it's not a new thing to hear when you get most of your web traffic from mobile browsers. Smart phones for example even have one or two for that function and if you think about it, the sites seem too big for most of us web masters who don't have mobile versions still. Since September of 2006 all DOTMOBI domains are available already. For those who want their site to have that extension, you can create mobile sites specific to your design.


It would give you and your readers a straight to the point, no nonsense impression of what your site is for. We saw this particular domain extension in GODADDY and found it's even cheaper too! Not just that but we can use a Godaddy mobi coupon to cut off a lot in its price. You get to also manage several of your web sites in one account and get a lot of info if in case you plan to transfer data from one host to the other. The turnout surrounding this extension is increasing every year and the need for it similarly does the same. It's more aggressive now in the youth demographics because they probably comprise most readers of your readers online. Everyone's got their own mobile phone these days so we're not really surprised. Godaddy promo codes can definitely come handy and I'm sure a lot of people need it to save a lot in renewals too!

The next one should save us too. If I were you I'd save up and get a Godaddy mobi renewal promo code the next time you have to renew. Most of us web site owners do this. Why? It's because we can!

Save at .Com .Net .Org .Tv .Mobi .info and .Tv renewals

Now that's a great place to start to go mobile! Isn't it?

Dare To Be Different: Alcatel One Touch Launch!

Alcatel is one of the leading brands in manufacturing smartphones in the world. We were invited to a fab luncheon to witness the launch a couple of new models and it was made more special as endorser Christ Tiu was out to tell us the good news. Sad though that he couldn't be there that afternoon because he'll be representing the Philippines in the Southeast Asian circuit but he sent his friends over. He also sent a video to let us know how much he loves using the handset he's got and how it perfectly fits his lifestyle, without breaking the bank!

Ms Liza Woods Alcatel's Regional Director for Asia Pacific said the launch was inevitable and vital to grow their business in the country. She was so proud that Alacatel has grown to be a formidable brand in the country and is looking forward to probably launch newer models in the months to come.

Alcatel's endorser Christ Tiu shows us his handset which is the Sapphire HD. These are all Android powered devices and pack a punch in the processor department. The display is quite large but still quite comfortable in the hand. He honestly compared this phone to other leading brands and says he's better off with the one he can use for a long time and still have the same capabilities without worrying going over the 30K mark for a single phone. He says the phone does the work of the popular ones and actually does it better in some areas. Browsing is even better than that of other smartphones.

The gorgeous Tin Patrimonio graced the occasion and said the only things she look for in phones is the essentials, a good camera, can play music and get you connected to the Internet when you need it. She was so pretty in person and I personally like her. She'll probably be one of the brightest stars in ABSCBN soon! I heard she is planning to join Bb. Pilipinas as well, I wouldn't be surprised because she's got one of the nicest faces I've seen in showbiz. She'll definitely go a long way.

I feel so panget when I'm seeing guys like him. I dunno why but Kevin Fowler sure can brighten up someones day just with a smile. He wants to have a phone that will fit his lifestyle, one that he can use when his friends, even family far away to communicate with him while he's in the Philippines. He goes out at night and Android phones like what Alacatel has in their artillery that can respond really fast without any hitches. 

Steph Prescott and Steph Henares both Kapuso stars were there too to grace the event. They say phones must be fashionable too. It can't be too bulky, phones must be sleek in design and one that you can modify to look and feel the same way that you do.

Heartthrob and crooner Markki Stroem says he needs the player to be dependable since he uses it for creating and listening to music. He says the phone has these simple features and sees that he doesn't have to pay much for something like this. Getting the right phone is essential to make your life easier he laments. Plus it doesn't matter if he is good looking too eh?! =)

Hunky Survivor Philippines Castaway Gino Dela Pena. He was there too. It was my first time seeing him to tell you honestly and I get why people talking about him says he looks good. His physique was remarkable and probably works out everyday. He says he needs a simple phone, not too complicated and just does what he needs to see like news, weather, anything that can get him started throughout the day. He was also very humble, he didn't talk that much but he's quite nice to everyone that afternoon. He should be utilized better by GMA, he definitely needs a big break.

There were also some of the most beautiful people in the blogging world. Had fun overall and can't wait to see the phones. So I went ahead and got some shots of that too.

Chris Tiu's phone the One Touch 995 Sapphire's got 3DUI/HD Video on the 4.3" Display Screen. It can also work on 3G HSPDA Network, has 1.4GHz processor and running 2.3 Gingerbread. Packs a punch!

 The One Touch 985N Blaze's got 3.5" Display, works on a 3G HSPDA network too. 5MP Camera and runs on 2.3 Gingerbread too.

The smaller, sleeker One Touch Inspire 991D has got 4 inch display, runs on 3G HSPDA network, has got 800MHz processor and has 2.3 Gingerbread too.

The One Touch 916D Spark FB has a cool qwerty keypad, can connect to WIFI hotspots, got 3G HSPDA network, a 5MP cam and runs on 2.3 Gingerbread as well.

The One Touch 918N Glory phone has got a smaller frame, 3.5 inch display, 3G HSPDA, 3.2MP Camera and still runs 2.3 Gingerbread. It comes in white too.

The most kikay of them all. This is the Alcatel One Touch 810D Glam. It's like a compact makeup kit perfect for ladies who want to still stay pretty at any time of tha day. This is also dual sim so you can switch networks easily. It's got 2.0 MP camera and is available in a whole array of colors. This would be perfect for ladies who want something small.

For what it's worth Alcatel has launched formidable, decently priced smartphones to play a huge role in the Philippine market. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a hit with those who would prefer Android over other OS infused phones. With the onslaught of Iphone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones Alacatel will battle it out as one of the best in Asia. Truly this brand has been remarkably been impressing me and the rest of the country. 

I'm loving Alacatel! ♥
