Own your Masterpiece: vivo Champions Professional Imaging with X80 Series Co-engineered with ZEISS

vivo, one of the leading smartphone brands in the country, has officially unveiled the much-awaited addition to its premium flagship smartphone category – the vivo X80 series. Coming at the heels of the “Imagery Master” X70 line, the X80 series pushes the limits of mobile photography further and delivers unique capabilities.

Powered by the vivo and ZEISS global partnership for mobile imaging and leveraging on vivo’s development and pioneering efforts, the vivo X80 and X80 Pro deliver superb camera capabilities, powerful performance and chic design. Through this latest launch, vivo encourages consumers to fully embrace their passion and self-expression with the help of the technological prowess offered by the vivo X80 and X80 Pro.

Own your masterpiece with vivo X80 series

As with previous iterations of the vivo X line, the X80 series is packed with the latest innovations in mobile photography and imaging technology. Both models under the X80 series boast ZEISS Optics with all lenses meeting ZEISS T* Coating standards. This allows users to capture the world clearly, vividly and in true colors. The ZEISS T* Coating standards also serve as a solid foundation for superior night photography, bringing the powerful ZEISS Super Night Camera feature.

Moreover, ZEISS’ Cinematic Video capabilities brought by the X80 series delivers professional videos with quality and clarity fit for the big screen. A new functionality introduced through the X80 line is its accurate reproduction of the effects of ZEISS Anamorphic film lenses. This creates oval flares in videos and photos in film-standard 2.39:1 aspect ratio. With high-level image purity, sharp portrait subjects and natural-looking bokeh flares, users can express their artistic style freely and record moments in amazing detail. Another unique function for the X80 Pro is the first and only Gimbal Portrait Camera in a smartphone in the country. It allows users to shoot pro-standard portraits effortlessly and with utmost stability.

Other imaging features offered by both the X80 and the X80 Pro variant include AI Video Enhancement, which detects scenarios and matches them with the best camera settings; Active Centering OIS System, which maximizes the stabilization range of each frame so every video is smooth and clear; and XDR Photo display technology, specially crafted to make otherwise ordinary images look like HDR images on the phone screen.

Taking it all to the next level, the vivo X80 series also debuts a custom chip especially conceptualized and created by vivo – the vivo V1+ Chip.

This exclusive vivo chip is designed to bring imaging, display and game graphics on smartphones to new heights. In terms of imaging, the vivo V1+ Chip is able to enhance night video denoising and HDR performance to deliver outstanding images and videos despite unfavorable light conditions. But more than this, the vivo V1+ Chip also offers a boost to the performance of the vivo X80 and X80 Pro.

Masterful performance and design

Both the vivo X80 and X80 Pro are designed with a dual-chip processing system, bringing together the customized vivo V1+ Chip with the latest processors in the market to produce the ultimate flagship, dual-core performance. The Pro variant is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 plus the vivo V1+ Chip, while the X80 variant has both the vivo V1+ Chip and a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Processor under its hood.

Because of this combination, the X80 series’ flagship processor provides ferocious power for gaming and offers a mobile experience like never before. To top it up, the smartphones under this line also come with Game Frame Interpolation, X-Axis Linear Motor, and Dual Stereo Speaker features which enhance the immersive gaming experience with a combination of strong vibrations and powerful sound.

Paired with a 2K E5 Ultra Vision Screen, an E5 AMOLED display with WQHD+ resolution, and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, everything from gaming to video streaming is sure to feel incredibly sharp, vivid and smooth. The X80 series display also boasts a DisplayMate A+ certification and has set 15 new DisplayMate A+ records. With additional SGS Eye Care Display and SGS Seamless certifications, these devices don’t only offer superb graphics but also protection and ease of viewing for the users.

It’s not only the series’ screens that are safety-certified. Since charging safely is important too, the X80 series offers a range of protective measures and has passed TÜV Rheinland Fast Charge Certification. Users can enjoy non-stop power as well as peace of mind, with the X80 Pro’s large 4700mAh battery and the 4500mAh battery on the X80. Both variants are also equipped with upgraded 80W Wired FlashCharge, and the X80 Pro brings it further with a 50W Wireless FlashCharge compatibility.

Aside from delivering masterful performance, the X80 series phones are also designed to look and feel like masterpieces. The X80 Pro comes in one elegant color: Cosmic Black, a compelling shade inspired by the tranquility and vastness of the starlit night sky. Meanwhile, the X80 variant comes with the second color option Urban Blue. Both variants have a unique Ceramic Cloud Window 2.0 design which balances a round camera module with a square plate, making the smartphone’s exterior exude grandeur and elegance. The back cover is made of Fluorite AG Glass, which is a stunning piece of art that is pleasant to the touch and resistant to fingerprint smudges. The device’s 6.78-inch 3D Curved Screen also looks impressively flawless from all angles. With such a chic everyday companion, owning a technological masterpiece has never been so stylish.

Ready to own a technological masterpiece?

Both variants of the vivo X80 series are expected to be officially available for pre-order via vivo’s official website and e-commerce flagship stores such as Shopee and Lazada, in the Philippines starting on June 10 to June 17.

ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED: Your Next Must-Have Premium Laptop for Work & Entertainment

ASUS definitely caught the attention of many with the recent release of their Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition– a special-edition laptop made to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first ASUS laptop sent into space.

While most eyes are drawn to this fancy device, its more consumer-friendly counterpart, the Zenbook 14 OLED, also deserves some attention with its exceptional performance, sophisticated design, stunning display, and more nifty features to boot!

ASUS has given us the chance to try the Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402ZA) in Aqua Celadon. Here’s our hands-on experience with this new laptop from the multinational tech brand.

Out of the box

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is simple yet elegant in its design. Its metallic, anti-fingerprint surface has a nice sheen to it, and the lines on the lid inspired by the Japanese kintsugi really add character to the device. The base of the laptop also implements a rigid theme underneath, opting for origami-like folds rather than the smooth curves in its protrusion.

Its 12.35″ x 8.69″ size is not the smallest in the market, but it does translate to a large display. When folded, the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is about 16.9mm thick while it remains lightweight and very portable with its 1.39kg weight.

When opened up, the display’s 16:10 ratio (2880×1800 resolution) really catches your attention, especially if you’re used to consuming content on landscape screens. But it is something that’s easy to get used to, and the advantages of such a generous OLED display would soon become apparent.

The device is also highly-flexible with its 180° lay-flat hinge, allowing for easy adjustments, whatever type of workspace arrangement you have when you’re on the device.

An immersive OLED display that draws you in

What really makes this laptop stand out is its 14-inch 2.8K OLED HDR display. The display is really eye-popping, delivering a vivid burst of colors and crisp details perfect for both work and entertainment purposes.

The size and ratio of the display also offer the user a more immersive and intuitive experience. For one, viewing videos with such striking display specs is even better with this expansive screen, while multitasking and using applications with crammed UIs become a bit easier to handle when using this device.

Adding to the immersive experience are the laptop’s NanoEdge 2.8 mm bezels, giving us a 90% body-to-screen ratio on the display. It also has a 90Hz refresh rate with a 0.2ms response time, allowing for smoother viewing and usage. Meanwhile, its brightness ranges from 0.0005 nits to 550 nits– highly adaptive to whatever your environment’s lighting may be. In my experience, 50% brightness is just right in a room with ample lighting.

When it comes to color accuracy, the Zenbook 14 OLED also delivers with its ultrawide color gamut of 100% DCI-P3. Plus, it is PANTONE Validated, assuring you that it provides the most precise color accuracy.

With our daily use of gadgets, blue light that could cause visual discomfort and reduced sleep quality has become a concern for many, especially parents. But there’s no need to worry. ASUS also safeguards the eyesight of its consumers as its TÜV Rheinland Eye Care certified OLED laptops emit 70% less harmful blue light compared to your typical LCD.

Exceptional performance & long-lasting power

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is powered by a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 P-series processor and Intel IRIS Xe graphics. It supports up to 16 GB of onboard memory and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 SSD. The laptop runs smoothly when working on productivity tasks such as writing documents and surfing the web, even with more than ten tabs open.

This laptop also qualifies for the Intel Evo platform, which means that it has met Intel’s high bar on hardware specifications and key experience targets that really make up a premium laptop.

While it is not really a gaming device, the Zenbook 14 OLED is still a treat for casual gamers, as I was able to run games like Valorant and Little Nightmares without a hitch. I also ran some tests on the device with the following results:

Cinebench R23 – 7,243 points (CPU Multicore); 1,453 points (CPU Single Core)
Geekbench 5 – 7,973 (Multi-core); 1,623 (Single Core)
CPU-Z – 4932.7 (Multi-Thread); 682.7 (Single Thread)

The cooling system also works well. It does not heat up that fast, and it also feels like the heat easily dissipates as it spreads from the bottom of the laptop.

As for its battery life, the Zenbook 14 OLED’s 75Wh battery promises to power your productivity for up to 18 hours. When I was working on the laptop’s browser with 50% screen brightness and Balanced power mode, the battery only decreased by 10% in 30 minutes.

When streaming online at 50% brightness and 50% volume, the battery decreased by 14% in an hour, and 20% each on the 2-hour and 3-hour mark. While playing Valorant under the same brightness and volume, the battery decreased by 18% in 30 minutes. When it comes to charging, the Zenbook 14 OLED was able to juice up pretty fast, charging from 3% to 52% in an hour while on Sleep Mode and being fully charged in about 2 hours.

An ergonomic keyboard and a number-crunching touchpad

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is also equipped with an ErgoSense keyboard that offers a pleasant typing experience. Clicking the buttons feels just right to the touch while producing minimal sound. When turned on, the keyboard backlight has three brightness levels to cater to your working needs.

Asus Zenbook 14 OLED Keyboard and Touchpad

Another factor that makes typing with this device more comfortable is the ErgoLift hinge that tilts the keyboard towards the user. This feature also helps keep the device cool as the bottom part does not lie flat on the surface giving it room to breathe.

The Zenbook 14 OLED also gives generous space to its touchpad with some bonus functions. It doubles as a Numpad, complete with a backlight that you can toggle on and off, plus it also serves as a shortcut to the calculator– making this laptop really ideal for number-crunching tasks.

To make this laptop even more ideal as your next professional device, the Zenbook 14 OLED also comes pre-installed with a lifetime license to Microsoft Office apps.

Strong speakers, clear calls

Another impressive key feature of the Zenbook 14 OLED is its Dolby Atmos stereo sound system which is also certified by the audio experts of Harman Kardon. This laptop’s so-called Smart Amp feature allows its sound to be 350% louder with zero distortion and upon testing, it actually delivers!

Even at 50% volume, the sound is already pretty loud and clear when you’re in front of the laptop. At 100% volume, the sound could really fill a spacious living room and you could still hear the dialogues clearly. When it comes to calls, the AI Noise-canceling microphone and speaker which reduce unnecessary noises provide a much clearer communication for both ends of the call.

As for the webcam, while the Zenbook 14 OLED’s 720p camera is pretty average, the laptop’s 3DNR (3D Noise Reduction) algorithm really helps produce clearer image outputs. Through the MyASUS app, users can also further improve their videos through Lighting Optimization, Background Blurring, Eye Tracking, and Motion Tracking effects.

Seamless connectivity & ports

This new laptop from ASUS also comes with the latest and fastest WiFi 6E, further enhanced by the ASUS WiFi Master Premium technology, which stabilizes your connection while filtering out interference. The WiFi SmartConnect also automatically selects the best WiFi or hotspot source to ensure that you’re connected to the fastest internet available.

As for the ports, the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED also offers a lot. On the left side, you have a microSD card slot, two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, an audio combo jack, and an HDMI 2.0, while placed on the right side is a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port.

Conclusion

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED really pushes the boundaries when it comes to display and sound, making it the ideal laptop for content and media consumption. Moreover, it does not compromise on battery and performance, and it even adds some special touches that are perfect for professionals who often work with numbers and documents, or are always in a Zoom call. So if you’re on the lookout for the next laptop that could cater to your productivity and entertainment needs, the Zenbook 14 OLED is definitely worth considering as it ticks all the boxes and more.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is now available at ASUS authorized stores, with a price that starts at P72,995.

Huawei’s Heralds Arrival of 2022 MateBook Series in PH
Workspaces, may it be at home or in offices, have historically been defined by the tool that people use the most — and a glance at today’s “offices” immediately informs us that modern workspaces are more stylish, more agile, and just a bit more intuitive than the traditional ones. Huawei decided to crank all these attributes to the max, as the company officially releases the latest addition to their signature notebook lineup, the newest HUAWEI MateBook Series on April 28, 2022, in the Philippines.

The HUAWEI MateBook 14, HUAWEI MateBook D 14, and HUAWEI MateBook D 15 all carry the Huawei DNA of three core factors: aesthetics, innovation, and intelligence. It’s these three elements weaving together organically that set the HUAWEI MateBook Family apart, and by doing it so well that they redefine what a workspace looks and feels like to users – one that’s seamlessly intelligent in every scenario.

With the ever-increasing need for flexible working, it is no doubt that having a fully interconnected experience will underpin the future of the smart office. As a way to provide users with the best seamless experience, Huawei has taken another step forward with the launch of Super Device — a revolutionary technology that allows multiple devices to function as one. With this Smart Office solution, Huawei aims to democratize users from the complications and interruptions of working with a lot of devices, giving them a chance at a centered and focused creativity and productivity experience.

HUAWEI MateBook 14

The MateBook 14 immediately makes an impression with its 2K FullView Display, with the bezels pushed ever further to the laptop’s edges that it’s like a floating window. And what a window it is: 90% screen-to-body ratio, 185 ppi pixel density, and 3:2 aspect ratio for superb versatility.
Next, there’s the 11^th Gen Intel Core processor that packs an incredible amount of performance into such a compact frame, offering up to 29% faster speed than the previous generation courtesy of the i7-G1165G7 chip and 512GB of SSD space. An integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics chip keeps all visuals as crispy as possible, and an updated Shark fin thermal dissipation system ensures the laptop stays cool and stable even at high loads.

Aside from running on one of the most advanced processors, HUAWEI MateBook 14 is equipped with an Eye Comfort Mode that is effective at minimizing blue light emissions, alongside a DC Dimming that helps eliminate any perceptible screen flickers that can put a strain on the eyes, especially over a long session.

The HUAWEI MateBook 14 – weighing just 1.49kg and measuring just 15.9mm at the thickest part – sports a minimalist metallic design in Classic Space Grey that allows it to be extremely slim and lightweight while looking positively stylish. Making it even more incredible is the device’s 56Wh high capacity battery, and Intelligent Power Saving technology that holds enough charge for the notebook to support 11 hours of battery life.

Bringing serious smarts to the table is the Super Device feature — an intelligent cross-device collaboration system that treats any nearby Huawei device as part of the MateBook’s core functionality, and vice versa. Super Device maximizes productivity by allowing Huawei devices to interconnect and work with one another seamlessly and flawlessly, letting users work and play as they desire.

HUAWEI MateBook D Series

The MateBook D Series comes in two size configurations (14- and 15-inches), but both FullView displays feature Full HD IPS panels with a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as TÜV Rheinland certification for Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free support for more comfortable viewing experiences.

Performance-wise, the MateBook D 14 and D 15 share the latest 11^th Gen Intel Core processors built on the 10nm SuperFin technology. 16GB of RAM and high-speed NVMe PCIe SSD storage means running and switching between tasks are snappier than ever, and the Performance Mode toggle unleashes the CPU’s full power to accommodate more demanding work.

In terms of look and feel, both the HUAWEI MateBook D 14 and D 15 come in a tougher and stronger metallic body, with two stunning variants: Space Grey and Mystic Silver. To maximize portability, these new D Series notebooks are superbly light and compact, weighing only 1.56kg.

Huawei’s ingenuity also continues with small details that matter like the HUAWEI MateBook D Series’ cutting-edge Smart Fingerprint Power Button that automatically authenticates identity when powered on, and saves the hassle of keying in a password to access Windows. Another essential productivity tool is the Recessed Camera function that’s hidden underneath a keycap, and enables easy access to webcam functionality while offering complete privacy when there’s no need for a camera.

Super Device capability also comes standard with the HUAWEI MateBook D Series, instantly connecting to any Huawei device within proximity. Syncing with different form factors is more seamless than ever — from sharing files to using mobile apps; from collaborative editing across screens to projecting on larger monitors — all interactions are made wireless and intuitive from the moment Super Device activates.

The MateBook Series family has plenty of amazing features for consumers to explore, such as double-digit hours of battery life, SuperCharge capabilities, and fingerprint power button access. Get some hands-on time of your own as soon as the Huawei MateBook family hits the online shelves on April 19, 2022:

POCO, a popular technology brand among the world’s young techies, is announcing the global launch of its latest flagship POCO F4 GT smartphone, heralding the apex of power, along with POCO Buds Pro Genshin Impact Edition and POCO Watch – the brand’s first-ever AIoT products.

POCO F4 GT is ready for whatever users may throw at it, not only for the extended sessions of mobile gaming also in daily use. When out of gaming mode, the triggers can also be used as a shortcut for quick access on the go, such as a shortcut to activate camera, screen recording or flashlight.

At the press of a button, users can turn on the screen to be floored by POCO’s latest 6.67-inch flat AMOLED and 10-bit TrueColor display, which when combined with the responsive 480Hz touch sampling rate and the up to 120Hz refresh rate, makes the screen come to life. Whether gaming or streaming shows, the true-to-life color spectrum leaps from the screen. POCO F4 GT also works to simultaneously maintain color accuracy in low-light settings while using high-frequency PWM dimming to protect its users’ eyes during marathon screen time sessions. POCO F4 GT’s display has set and matched 15 display performance records from Display Mate and is rated as A+ screen.

True to its nature as an apex of power, POCO is adding one more service to its list of inaugural features for the latest device. Users can enjoy the premium after-sales service, which offering one-time free screen repair service during the first 6 months after purchase.
