Bringing Business-Grade Technology Closer to Fast-Growing Regional
Businesses

ASUS brought its flagship business laptop, the ASUS ExpertBook Ultra, to Cebu and Davao as part of its continued regional expansion and commitment to making its latest business-grade devices more accessible in key regional markets.

As businesses in Visayas and Mindanao continue to expand, the demand for reliable, high-performance technology that can support increasingly sophisticated workplaces is also growing. Bringing business-grade devices like ASUS ExpertBook Ultra closer to these markets allows regional businesses to experience the products firsthand, and explore solutions suited to their needs.

The tour kicked off in Cebu City on September 7 and 8, where more than 600 attendees filled the NUSTAR Resort Cebu.

Together, the Cebu and Davao launches mark an important step in ASUS Business Philippines’ regional expansion, bringing business-grade devices and support closer to the companies and professionals shaping the future of Visayas and Mindanao.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series brings together flagship imaging, next-level intelligence, stable 5G connectivity, and sophisticated, fashionable design to redefine how you capture your most cherished memories. From capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments to staying productive on the go, the latest “King of Imaging” is designed to help you see and share life in greater detail.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max is now available for PHP 79,999 for the 512GB storage, while the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro is priced at PHP 54,999 for the 256GB storage and PHP 64,999 for the 512GB storage variant.

Preserve Your Best Moments Exactly the Way You Remember Them

Even when you’re standing at the back row as your favorite artist takes the stage, or watching wildlife from a great distance, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series brings the world closer with its powerful imaging capabilities.

Deemed an absolute Zoom Beast, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max helps you get closer to the moments you want to remember. Its 200MP Ultra Large Sensor Telephoto Camera, with 20x Telephoto Zoom, lets you capture every expression of an artist performing on stage or even the most microscopic details of nature. Even when you’re having the time of your life at a concert, your recorded handheld zoom videos will stay smooth and steady, thanks to the camera’s groundbreaking CIPA 7.0 image stabilization.

Lighting can make or break a photo. But with the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max’s 50MP Ultra Lighting HDR Camera with up to 16 EV dynamic range, your photos will always look well lit, no matter what the lighting condition is. It captures brilliant highlights and rich shadow details, adding depth to every image. Whether you’re capturing the rays of the sun as it shimmers across coastal waters during a trip to the beach, taking a portrait photo of a loved one standing against a golden sunset, or photographing a bustling street as the city begins to glow at dusk, you can preserve the atmosphere, colors, and details of every moment with impressive clarity and realism.

Vibrant, lifelike photos require colors that are faithful to what your eyes see. The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series’ 2nd Gen True-to-Colour Camera delivers a wider, more precise color range with expanded color gamut processing. It produces balanced, lifelike colors that reflect the scene exactly how you saw it. From the vivid blue waters of tropical waters during your island getaway and the warm hues of sunlight at your favorite cafe, to the natural skin tones in a group shot of your loved ones, every color is captured with lifelike accuracy, helping your photos feel as authentic and memorable as the moments themselves.

Turn Every Shot Into a Story with AI Imaging Features

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series makes great photography easier to achieve with AI-powered imaging capabilities for endless creativity, so you can turn spontaneous moments and everyday memories into polished, story-driven images you can look back on. With the upgraded AI Composition, taking professional-looking photos becomes more effortless. When you’re on a trip and you find the perfect spot to shoot portrait images of a friend or an iconic city landmark that you want to post online, the feature eliminates the guesswork of framing your image. You can simply follow the on-screen framing suggestions and visual guides to get the best shot with greater ease.

Even the most stunning images can come with unexpected distractions, but the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series’ AI-powered editing tools make it easier to turn your imperfect shots into polished keepsakes. When you’re taking a photo of the city skyline through a hotel window or capturing an aquarium exhibit, the reflections from the glass can be distracting from the beauty of an image. With AI De-Glare, you can remove these unwanted reflections and recover the details behind them with a single tap.

Meanwhile, AI Move gives you greater creative freedom after the shot, such as removing a passerby who wandered into your beach photo, repositioning a friend who ended up too close to the edge of a group shot, or resizing a landmark or object to create a more playful travel memory.

Carry the Mood of a Perfect Getaway, Wherever You Go

More than just a powerful imaging tool, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is designed to make you stand out. Its new Rhythm of Colour design philosophy draws inspiration from the interplay of light, form, and movement, pairing sleek flat-edged lines with richly layered hues. When you’re heading out to dinner, attending a special celebration, or checking into a luxury getaway, the phone’s refined design makes it a natural statement.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max offers a striking impression with its industry-first Dual-Tone Gradient Mid-Frame in Orange Ocean. Blazing Purple captures the changing hues of the sky as day turns to night, while Blush Gold and Graphite Black offer a more timeless expression. Whether you’re heading to a beachside dinner in a breezy summer outfit, dressing up for an evening event, or looking for the perfect accessory to complement a more understated look, each finish of the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max offers a distinct way to express your personal style.

Meanwhile, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro brings a lighter, more playful mood with Orange Soda and Guava Soda, while Coconut White and Mulberry black provide understated elegance. From casual brunches and weekend city strolls, to spontaneous gatherings with friends, the color palettes easily transition between laid-back and polished moments.

Stay Connected, Get More Done in a Day

In today’s fast-moving world, you need a smartphone that can match the pace of your lifestyle. With 5G connectivity on the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series, you can enjoy faster signal recovery and better connectivity, even when you find yourself in weak-signal areas. Retrieving files and images is faster with higher peak upload and download speeds. From joining a video call while in transit, to uploading high-resolution photos after an event or streaming content on the go, you stay connected wherever your day takes you.

Handling your daily tasks is more seamless and intuitive with the enhanced Celia AI. Whether it’s checking the weather before heading out, setting reminders for important appointments, drafting messages or making calls, you can simply ask Celia AI and get it done easily. While you’re travelling, you can hail your ride via voice command to make it easier to get to your next destination without having to fumble through the app.

Sharing files across device ecosystems is effortless as the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series now supports cross-OS sharing with iOS devices. If you need to send vacation photos to friends, transfer videos you captured at a concert, or share an important work document, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series helps you move files between devices with less friction to keep your memories and workflow moving wherever they go.

Powerful Performance and Reliable Strength to Handle Your Everyday

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is ready for whatever your busy day brings. Its massive 6,000mAh battery gives you the freedom to spend more time shooting, streaming, navigating, and creating without worrying that your battery power will run out. When you’re rushing between errands, exploring a new destination, or playing an epic match with friends, and you need to suddenly recharge, the 100W Wired HUAWEI SuperCharge on the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max gives you enough power to last you the whole day in just 15 minutes. For more convenient fast-charging, it also supports 80W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge.

The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is as durable as it is stylish. With the Anti-Reflective and Scratch-Resistant Kunlun Glass, you’ll feel confident that the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max will remain protected against scratches and accidental drops to keep it looking pristine as ever. This tough material also reduces reflections, so you can enjoy a clear, distraction-free display even in the bright outdoors.

Shopping in Gemini app launches in the Philippines

We all love finding the perfect gift, but shopping can often become a chore. Endless scrolling, guessing, and jumping between tabs can feel like hard work.

Google’s latest advancements in AI can help! The company is introducing a major AI shopping update in the Gemini app to help with all your shopping-related needs — whether that’s finding the best birthday gift, comparing running shoes and brainstorming the ‘aesthetic’ fitcheck, or discovering the right piece of luggage for your next trip!

Describe what you’re looking for just as you’d say it to a friend, and get a thorough response — with accurate shopping data you can trust.

Simplify your shopping with Gemini

You can also now use shopping features right in the Gemini app, helping you go from brainstorming to browsing right within your chat. You can find shoppable product listings, comparison tables, prices from across the web, and places to buy.

When you ask Gemini a shopping question, you’ll get an intelligently organized response that brings together rich visuals and all the details you need (like price, reviews, and inventory information), helping you quickly and confidently decide what to buy. Responses are tailored to your specific question and formatted for your needs.

For example, if you’re looking for visual inspiration, like “birthday gift ideas for my dad who is into the NBA. My budget is P2000,” you’ll see shoppable images in a helpful carousel. Or, if you’re deciding between a few options — like the right bag or piece of luggage for a weekend away — you’ll see a comparison table with a side-by-side view of considerations specific to that product (such as case dimensions and weight) to help you quickly understand the nuances.

And because these new shopping features in Gemini are powered by the Shopping Graph (which includes more than 60 billion product listings, two billion of which are updated every hour), you can see fresh information and unmatched selection you can trust.

By bringing Gemini models and Google’s Shopping Graph together, you can shop with confidence, save time and money, and have fun along the way! Try it now!
