OPPO F1’s Selfie Expertise Stands Out at Phone x Music Festival with Sarah G

Tweet

OPPO held the Philippines’ biggest Phone x Music Festival at the Globe Circuit Event Grounds in Makati City for the O-Fans.

Spotlight onOPPO F1’s Selfie Expertise

The OPPO Music Fest, headlined by OPPO endorser Sarah Geronimo, Up Dharma Down, Marc Marasigan, Victor Pring, Marga on the Mic, Kat DJ, and Deuce Manila’s Patty Tiu,brought to the fore the selfie expertise of the F1. 

Dubbed the OPPO Music Fest, the event celebrates the official local availability of the rose-gold variant of the OPPO F1. 

The first in the global technology company’s new camera-focused F series, the F1boasts an 8-megapixel front shooter with a large, 1/4-inch sensor that produces clearer images than an ordinary, 5-megapixel camera, and a wide, f/2.0 aperture that allows for 44 percent more light to enter the cam than what you would normally get from a standard f/2.4 aperture lens. 

Its Beautify 3.0 camera feature enhances a user’s natural glow, removes blemishes, and includes three beautification levels and eight filters. 

The mix of its software and hardware components makes the OPPO F1 the ideal selfie phone, hence its “Selfie Expert" tag.

Priced at P11,990, the F1was rolled out to OPPO concept stores and authorized dealers in February, but only the gold version was initially available. 

One major attraction for the crowd, for example, was a replica of the camera phone, which was attached to a giant selfie stick – the biggest one used in a festival in the Philippines. They got to take photos of themselves with what’s happening during the event as their background.

Activities like the OPPO Amazing Race, Caught on Cam, and Photo Scavenger Hunt revolved around the OPPO F1’s sophisticated front-camera experience as well.

“Majority of our users comprise the youth,” said OPPO Philippines’ brand marketing manager Stephen Cheng. “Technology and music are an integral part of their culture and digital lives. And what better way to celebrate both than by organizing a phone-slash-music festival. We hope that through this activity, we get to support the local music scene as well.“

Party with the Founder of Zumba - Beto Perez Live at Circuit Makati this Sunday!

It’s a Party with Beto Perez, the Founder of Zumba!

Beto Perez will host a 90 minute Zumba Fitness-Concert with his team of Zumba Celebrity Instructors, musicians and international DJs on May 10, 2015 at the Globe Circuit Events Ground. 

“Zumba: Let It Move You”

Beto Perez explains that the exercise fuses fitness, entertainment and culture into an exhilarating dance-party workout. Coined as “fitness-parties,” Zumba classes blend upbeat world rhythms with easy-to-follow choreography to provide effective, total-body workouts for groups of all ages.

The dance party work-out was stumbled upon accidentally. He was set to teach a class back in the 90s when he realized he had forgotten his regular music and had to use a tape of Latin songs instead. A few samba moves and salsa grooves were tossed into the routine and the lively and incredibly fun workout the world now knows as Zumba was born. 

Circuit Makati

As a city that continues to bring well-rounded, holistic urban experiences to its denizens, Perez arrives in the country to give an exclusive peek into the unique lifestyle and entertainment opportunities that the city holds. 

Much like how Perez’s creativity and ingenuity paved the way for exercise to be transformed into something more exciting, Makati is now giving everyone a glimpse into what they can expect with its latest development: Circuit Makati. This 22-hectare integrated, mixed-use development will highlight the diverse opportunities for entertainment and lifestyle within Makati.

Beto Perez Live in Circuit Makati

Perhaps no other event can encapsulate the ideals behind Circuit Makati more than the entertainment factor and the uniqueness of the first outdoor fitness concert in Makati. 

Registration will start at 2PM. VIP tickets are still available at SM Tickets.com. 

Fitness enthusiasts can look forward to an invigorating workout in the city that makes it happen.

Zumba, founded in 2001, now became the largest branded fitness program in the world, with more than 15 million weekly class participants in 200,000 locations across more than 180 countries.

Zumba is a global lifestyle brand that fuses fitness, entertainment and culture into an exhilarating dance-party workout. Coined “fitness-parties,” Zumba classes blend upbeat world rhythms with easy-to-follow choreography to provide effective, total-body workouts. 

The Workout 

The Zumba workout provides long-term physical and emotional benefits through exhilarating, high calorie-burning fitness parties, and its simple dance moves from around the world increase the fun factor, making it feel like exercise in disguise. Zumba classes feature routines set to fast and slow rhythms that successfully tone and sculpt the body while burning fat. A person can burn up to 1,000 calories in a one-hour class depending on the intensity of the workout, and will leave the class with a huge smile. 

Music is Zumba’s special motivational ingredient. The score, created with specific beats and tempo changes, transitions the workout seamlessly to encompass toning, strengthening and cardio, thus targeting every major muscle group in the body. The program blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy-winning producers, with contagious choreography from dance styles including: salsa, merengue, cumbia, samba, belly dance, bhangra, hip-hop and other world rhythms.
