BSS (SEVENTEEN) Showcases the AI Eraser capabilities using the OPPO Reno11 F 5G
●
The OPPO AI Eraser feature is now
available for all OPPO Reno11 Pro, OPPO Reno11, and OPPO Reno11 F devices
● AI Eraser empowers all OPPO Reno11 Series users with advanced generative AI photo editing tools and flagship experiences
Before
After
BSS, the
subunit of the renowned South Korean boy band SEVENTEEN as well as the newest
OPPO Reno Experts, have sprung into action to showcase the capabilities of
OPPO’s newly rolled out AI Eraser.
The
free-to-use tool was recently rolled out to its OPPO Reno11 Series, which
includes the OPPO Reno11 Pro, OPPO Reno11, and OPPO Reno11 F. It allows OPPO
Reno11 Series users to easily remove objects from photos by circling them.
As a
dynamic and youthful boy group who revel in self-expression, BSS (SEVENTEEN)
members SEUNGKWAN, DK and HOSHI continuously create content and capture candid
moments on the go. There are times, however, when a precious moment captured
contains an unwanted object or background that would otherwise have resulted in
the perfect shot, such as the group picture (above) with an unwanted light
stand in the background.
With AI
Eraser, this can easily be fixed in a flash. All they did was simply circle the
unwanted light stand, and the OPPO Reno11 Series’ generative AI intelligently
removed it, generating natural-looking content to fill the space. The result is
the perfect composition that exactly matched their vision.
AI Eraser
for the OPPO Reno11 Series is capable of accurately recognising objects from
over 120 categories, including people, pets, trees, buildings, and flowers. It
uses advanced generative AI to allow for class-leading, seamless edits to
remove objects in the best way possible, creating natural-looking photos as a
result.
OPPO Reno11 Series users can remove an unwanted object in an almost-perfect picture instantly.
AI Eraser
is easy and convenient to use. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
STEP 1: Find a picture that is almost perfect
STEP 2: Tap Edit, followed by AI Eraser
STEP 3: Use Smart Lasso to draw around object, or use
Paint Over to draw over an object
STEP 4: Watch the object disappear before your eyes as AI Eraser uses generative AI to intelligently fill in the blanks, so you can enjoy your perfect picture
More AI Eraser features
Smart
Lasso and Paint Over are two available features under AI Eraser. Smart Lasso
allows users to easily encircle unwanted subjects, making it a highly
recommended feature for users who struggle with precision drawing or circling.
Paint Over
serves as a valuable complement to Smart Lasso, particularly when an object in
the image contains an area that users would prefer not to remove. Both features
come with a slider option to adjust the stroke size for even more precise
object removal.
While many
external smartphones within the OPPO Reno11 Series’ price range offer object
removal tools, they tend to produce results that appear noticeably edited,
creating unnatural-looking elements.
“Reno11 Series is the first smartphone line at its price to feature such advanced generative AI image editing, and demonstrates OPPO’s commitment to enrich everyday experiences through technology for everyone,” said Leon Wang, Director of Reno Series Product Planning Development.
Reno11
Series users in Phiippines can experience AI Eraser via an OTA update.

Scoops of Goodness for Every Juan: Japanese brand Almond Koka collaborates with Gelato Manila for a line of plant-based gelato
However, here’s the scoop: many are skipping the goodness of ice cream to cool down either because they’re lactose-intolerant or their lifestyles just call for more nutritious and more ethical alternatives.
This is what Japanese food manufacturer Glico with its Almond Koka brand and homegrown business Gelato Manila aim to address, as both believe that finding equally delicious and healthy ice cream must be a “no-sweat” job for Filipinos. Hence, they formed a collaboration to come up with a line of plant-based gelato where indulgence meets health during the country’s hottest season.
Providing Filipinos deliciously healthy choices
Glico’s Almond Koka is the best-selling almond milk in Japan, boasting a superior taste and top-notch nutrition from its Vitamin E content that is 100% of the daily requirement. Now available in the Philippines, Glico is eager to provide the freedom to enjoy delectable food and drinks made with their Almond Koka products, while not compromising the health needs of Filipinos.
Whipping up some plant-based coolness with Almond Koka is Philippines’ premium gelateria, Gelato Manila. Co-founded by world-renowned gelato maker Chef Zarah Manikan, the brand is known for its expertise in creating healthier Filipino gelatos using only natural ingredients sourced from local farmers and neighboring communities.
‘PINAS-Sarap’ with Almond Koka
The Pinoy Plant-Based Gelato by Almond Koka x Gelato Manila consists of plant-based versions of three well-loved Filipino ice cream flavors, all made with quality ingredients and Almond Koka milk products. Each flavor makes a good addition to any diet while beating the record-breaking heat.
As the Philippines is home to arguably some of the world’s best mangoes, the collaboration did not miss the opportunity to include Mangga Koka in their line of gelato. It’s made with fresh ripe mangoes churned with Almond Koka Original for a vibrant-tasting healthy treat.
On the other hand, Almond Mantikilya is a roasted almond butter gelato that has a bolder and nuttier flavor from the Almond Koka Unsweetened. It truly captivates Filipinos’ fondness for sweet indulgence with a surprising twist: it’s actually low in sugar!
Nothing puts anyone in a better mood than a scoop of good chocolate gelato. So completing the trifecta is Kokoa, which has the decadence of deep and rich chocolate from the finest cocoa and Almond Koka Chocolate. This flavor not only soothes the soul but also remains a healthy way to conquer a scorching day.
The Pinoy Plant-Based Gelato by Almond Koka x Gelato Manila will be available as a sampler set of all three flavors for only P450 from April 18, 2024 until June 2024 at www.gelatomanila.com and in selected One World Deli stores.

to meet the dynamic and ever-changing needs and preferences of its user. From
revolutionary camera capabilities to seamless app integration, Huawei's latest
offerings promise to elevate the smartphone experience to unprecedented
heights.
The perfect phone companion for youths
Continuing its legacy of
catering to the needs of the youth, Huawei's nova series has consistently
delivered cutting-edge smartphones tailored to the tastes of the Millennial and
Gen Z populations. Through the launch of the HUAWEI nova 12SE and HUAWEI nova
12i, Huawei reaffirms its unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class
devices that not only meet but exceed the expectations of today's generation.
With a focus on performance, style, and functionality, the HUAWEI nova 12SE and HUAWEI nova 12i are designed to seamlessly integrate into the dynamic lifestyles of Gen Z, empowering users to express themselves and stay connected in new and exciting ways.
Picture-perfect 108MP camera performance
At the heart of the HUAWEI
nova 12SE and HUAWEI nova 12i lies the revolutionary 108MP camera, giving
unparalleled clarity and detail in every shot. Equipped with a large F1.9
aperture and a 1/1.67-inch sensor, these cameras are designed to capture stunning
images even in challenging lighting conditions.
The camera also uses a
nine-in-one-pixel fusion technology to allow for better ambient lighting in
each shot. This innovative feature ensures users experience a significant
improvement when shooting in low-light conditions, producing high-quality,
vivid, and color-accurate shots regardless of the lighting environment.
Huawei has also
incorporated Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL) snapshot technology into the HUAWEI nova
12SE and HUAWEI nova 12i, ensuring that users can swiftly capture fleeting
moments without any lag or delay. This advanced technology minimizes shutter
lag, allowing users to seize the moment effortlessly and preserve memories with
remarkable clarity and immediacy.
For those who frequently take selfies, the HUAWEI nova 12SE 32MP and 12i’s 8MP front cameras have you covered! Incorporating advanced noise reduction technologies, each phone ensures that every selfie is vivid and clear, capturing your best angles effortlessly. With such exceptional image quality, users can enjoy selfies straight out of the camera, minimizing or even eliminating the need for edits or touch-ups to achieve picture-perfect results.
Customization brought to new heights with EMUI 14
These smartphones offer a
highly customizable lock screen and home screen UI, allowing you to tailor
every aspect of your device to reflect your unique style and preferences. With
intuitive controls and a wealth of customization options, you can effortlessly
create a smartphone experience that is truly your own.

Several themes are readily available, from magazine or scrapbook styles to minimalist designs or vibrant color schemes. Not only that, you can also fill your wallpaper with emojis, each with their own 3D effects, for a dynamic and playful addition.
Other features meant for better device integrity
Apart from the camera as
the flagship feature of the nova 12SE and 12i, Huawei has gone through great
lengths to place importance and priority on the security and privacy of each
phone unit. With more apps being able to access sensitive or confidential user
info, Huawei successfully mitigates this issue by introducing an app tracking
management system where users can decide which apps can track their activities
on other applications and websites. This proactive approach ensures that users
can enjoy a safer and more secure mobile experience without compromising on
usability or convenience.
EMUI 14 has also
introduced a new Live View feature where users can receive real-time updates
that’s simple yet accurate. Application processes will be displayed in floating
windows, conveniently placed so users can easily see the progress from their
native recording or wireless projection apps.
Moreover, Huawei's
SuperHub has undergone significant enhancements with the transition to EMUI 14,
leading to smoother and more intelligent operations. The SuperHub stations on
the nova 12SE and 12i empower users to effortlessly share or transfer files across
devices, facilitating rapid batch transmission between devices with
unparalleled ease.
The HUAWEI nova 12SE and 12i will be
available in both Huawei’s physical and online stores soon in the Philippines,
with many of your favorite apps accessible on HUAWEI AppGallery, including
Shopee, Lazada, GCash, BPI, and much more! To learn more about the nova 12SE

realme 12 5G: The latest device under the realme 12 Series is arriving in the PH on April 25
Following the successful launch of the realme 12 Pro+ 5G and realme 12+ 5G, realme Philippines is now set to introduce the newest addition to the realme 12 Series 5G on April 25: the realme 12 5G.
The latest model of the realme Number Series boasts a competitive camera and a stylish design, which is renowned for this series. It also incorporated elements of the luxury watch design introduced in the earlier realme 12 Series 5G models.
This time, the realme 12
5G goes beyond just capturing photos. The device is designed to be a
storyteller, combining its camera quality and overall feature set to enable
users to create and share stories easily. It's an excellent tool for users to
explore new narratives behind the photos they capture.
The realme 12 5G is a versatile device that appeals to individuals with different interests and preferences. Find out why it’s an excellent choice for people who consider their devices an extension of their personality and creativity:
1. The high-resolution camera is best for storytellers
realme dedicates its
flagship camera technology to the realme Number Series, making it a perfect fit
for mobile photographers and videographers who enjoy using smartphone cameras
for their storytelling.
The realme 12 5G has a
108MP 3x Zoom Portrait Camera that allows users to take stunning photos even in
low-light settings. This is possible using the high-level HM6 Sensor, which
captures ample light in every shot.
As a sweet treat for film buffs, the camera also has built-in Portrait Master Filters that can enhance the look of photos and videos. Co-developed by award-winning cinematographer, Claudio Miranda, these filters are Journey, Memory, and Maverick, which have varying tones and colors to produce cinematic visuals in every shot.
2. The aesthetics are match-made for Gen Zs
Style and design are
essential for yuppies and Gen Zs when choosing smartphones. Thankfully, the
realme 12 Series 5G stands out with its beautiful design. The realme 12 5G is
available in two gorgeous new colors: Twilight Purple and Woodland Green.
Twilight Purple is a
whimsical shade of lavender with a soft tone, while Woodland Green has a deeper
tone of green reminiscent of nature and lush forests. Both add a pop of color
to the device and the finish is glossy and iridescent, without being susceptible
to fingerprint smudges.
Whether the vibe is
relaxed or energetic, light or dark, minimalist or maximalist, the realme 12 5G
colors are perfect for those looking for a stylish phone that can match their
everyday aesthetic and personality.
The design is also composed of three main elements: the eye-catching Polished Sunburst Dial acting as the bed of the camera module that gives a classic sunburst effect; the Polished PVD Edges framing the slim and sleek body of the device, and the diamond-patterned 3D Jubilee Bracelet which subtly ties the whole look together.
3. All-around performance for career-driven millennials
Millennials opt for
devices with all-rounder features that work together to maximize productivity.
The realme 12 5G has all the essentials, including a fast-charging 45W
SUPERVOOC Charge with a 5000mAh Massive Battery that reaches full battery
capacity in just over an hour, plus a highly efficient MediaTek Dimensity 6100+
processor.
However, the little things
make the realme 12 5G convenient and practical because it has additional
features that elevate the overall user experience. One unique feature is the
new Riding Mode for “riding” or “traveling” scenarios. The Riding Mode prioritizes
three apps: Google Maps, Music, and Google Dialer for easy UI navigation.
At the same time, the
device is equipped with a 6.7” 120Hz Sunlight Display with three-for-one
functions: a wide FHD+ Resolution, with a high refresh rate that can reach up
to 950 Nits of brightness in Sunlight Mode. The Sunlight Display feature
ensures users can view the screen even under bright sunlight.
Overall, the realme 12 5G
is realme’s latest device that certainly packs a punch. The realme Squad can
immediately cop the device and enjoy all its exciting features once it
launches, so better tune in to the online livestream launch event on April 25
on realme’s Facebook and Youtube pages.

announcements about the realme 12 Series 5G, the Squad can also visit the
