Self Expression and Self Care with the Vivo Y31

Tuesday, March 23, 2021


 

Still locked down, with different terms used, but still the same potato. I'm sure just like me, you are stuck at home trying to make ends meet, trying to make sense of it all. These days, if you don't have anything to keep you sane, it'll be doubly hard to survive. These days, people look for outlets for self expression, the arts, to also preserve memories so you can reminisce on it later on. It's pretty tough not to have that with mental health, so we have to do what we can to take our mind off things, or maybe a little entertainment. 

Photography, or making video content these days have now become easier with the eve of smartphones that can take even better shots sometimes than professional cameras. It's more powerful, you can even use the same phone to edit it and share the experience with family and friends at a flick of a button. The peeps from vivo didn't only donate stuff and PPE for front liners during this pandemic, they realized the importance of elevating the smartphone experience and did several campaigns over the years that would do just that for Filipinos and the rest of the world.

For the vivo v19 phones they did the Ignite Your Night campaign to show users how they can take advantage of the night photography and gaming capabilities of their phones. Aside from that, they also did one for the v20 series called Be The Focus to showcase the selfie camera capabilities of the phone. This 2021 they are getting you involved in "ALL DAY FUN" with the Y31 which is a budget phone but last so long because of its 5000mAh battery. Photos, videos, gaming, it can do all that without costing too much plus you get a chance to pursue enjoyable hobbies, that would make you happy, which is way better for your mind too.

Who would have known doing several campaigns would result to that right? It's a good thing. If you want to know more about the vivo Y31, you may check out information on https://www.facebook.com/vivo.philippines or their website https://www.vivoglobal.ph/. If you want to get one, they have their official stores on Shopee and Lazada, you'll get good deals there too!

The POCO F3

Two phones from POCO have been launched this evening. One is the one they call "The Real Beast" the POCO F3 and the other is called the POCO X3 Pro.  These smartphones are equipped with very powerful processors as the F3 carries a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 870 5G while the other X3 Pro has a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 860. 




Early Bird Price



The POCO F3 carries a 48MP main cam, 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP telemacro lens. The POCO X3 Pro on the other hand has a 48MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor. Both have a 20MP in display camera. The two phones come in different storage varieties specifically 6GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB. In the power department, the POCO F3 has a 4520mAh battery which is more than enough for daily use while the X31 Pro has a 5160mAh battery so you don't need to stop playing those games you love. Although, you can actually charge it fast because the F3 and X3 Pro has a  33W fast chargers, which would be pretty good for those who want things done fast and don't have much wait times.


The POCO X3 Pro



Both phones run on MIUI 12 for POCO based on Android 11 OS so it's quite easy to use because the environment it wants to make is of course, user friendly. Whether you are an iOS fanatic or already have an Android phone, using a POCO phone won't make you regret that decision to switch. I haven't had the chance to do hands on, but from the looks of it, the things they've shown earlier during the stream look quite nice, hope we can have a unit loaned for unboxing soon.

Serious Gaming with the vivo Y31

Sunday, March 21, 2021



I have a personal phone that is dedicated to gaming. I do this so as not to disturb my workflow because one, it would run out of storage and memory, two, the notifications would be crazy disruptive. These days it doesn't just take good eye hand coordination to win games, but noticeably these past few months made me realize that there's a whole lot of things can help you get ahead of the pack. 

A Good Controller

There are tons out there which you can connect through Bluetooth but choose the one that doesn't do ghosting, have ill replaced buttons, or could barely catch up with your movements. Get one that's compatible, used by pros but one that you can afford of course.

Immersive Audio

These days, an ordinary headphone just won't cut it. It has to have audio quality that will bring you the actual game experience, beat background noise, powerful enough that you can hear footsteps of nearby enemies which is vital for any game. You have to find something good.

Finger Sleeves

Gaming seriously? You've got to consider having finger sleeves. The slide of your hand to the next button could mean several kills in a game but if your enemy is the screen and how it skids on you, a finger sleeve is definitely an answer. 

A Good Phone

If you've suffered enough and your stats are not showing improvement, you might not be the problem. The problem might lie in the phone you use. There are phones that have built in stabilization, like the vivo Y31’s Multi-Turbo 4.0. It lessens lag and performance issues as it has a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 662 octa-core processor and with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB ROM. That's more than enough for your high performance games and storage needed for it to work. You can get more information about the vivo Y31 here http://www.vivoglobal.ph/phone/vivo-Y31 or just head on to Shopee or Lazada as they've got several phones that you could fancy. 


Take your gaming seriously.
