Sharp celebrates 108th year with an online product launch with ‘Stay Home, Stay Sharp’ campaign

Tweet

Sharp Corporation, is celebrating its 108th year anniversary in the industry. For more than a century, the brand has been continuously offering innovative and efficient products that cater to the ever-changing demands of the market. This 2020, in line with their mission in bringing convenience, protection, and lifestyle evolution to everyone, Sharp’s now gears towards to be the best partner of every household.

One of the world’s leading Technological Innovator, Sharp has been providing changes and innovation with its 8K+5G and AIoT technology. The brand is firm in its mission in upholding sustainable growth for the next 100 years through continuous Technological innovations. 

Now, more than ever, Sharp is committed to its mission in bringing innovative products that will cater to the new lifestyle. ‘Stay Home, Stay Sharp’ campaign was redesigned to its products to adjust to the new normal. One of the key technologies that will help consumers to adapt to this new normal is Sharp’s Plasmacluster Ion Technology which is incorporated into its air purifiers, refrigerators, and air conditioners. This Technology promotes cleaner and safer air.

“This time, families spend more time in their homes as the pandemic spread. We started with healthy food preparation and made it more convenient. We made sure to provide a clean and comfortable home environment,” Sharp Philippines President, Mr. Kazuo Kito said in his speech.

Stay Home, Stay Sharp hiad an online product launch hosted by JV Cruz and DJ Raqi Terra on September 15, 2020. The said launch introduced their newest products — Dynabook Lap Top Computers, Android LCD TV, Side-by-Side Inverter Refrigerator, 4 Door Refrigerator, Cyclone Technology Vacuum Cleaners, and the Healsio Line Up.

Dynabook Lap Top Computers

One of the biggest effects of the pandemic to the business and education sectors is the shift from the traditional office setting to the work-from-home and online learning setup. Thus, Sharp introduced the Dynabook Sattelite Pro L40 laptop to help employees and students in their specific activities. This versatile laptop is perfect for personal and everyday use. Boasting with its dual storage support and fast and powerful performance. It is equipped with the 10th Generation of Intel Core i3, i5, and i7.

Android LCD TV

For Entertainment, Filipino’s have more time to bond with families at home. Watching TV is one of the most enjoyable family bonding moments. Of course, Sharp wants to be part of this important time in every household by offering a high standard viewing experience. Their Android TVs, 4T-C50BK1X, 4T-C60BK1X, and 4T-C60CK1X, with built-in Netflix, they can enjoy a high-standard viewing experience with their loved ones through its Ultra HD AQUOS 4K Technology.

Refrigerator

Due to the viciousness of the virus, people make fewer trips to the grocery to avoid getting sick. Hence large food compartment and safe storage become essential. With Sharp’s newest 16cu.ft. 4 Door Refrigerator (SJ-FLG16AVP-BK) with Plasmacluster Ion Technology not only provides large storage space but will also keep the food fresher and safer for a longer time. On the other hand, 20cu.ft Side-by-Side Refrigerator (SJ-BL20AVP-SL) provides huge storage both for the freezer and fresh food compartments, it makes organizing food easier. Both models are equipped with Inverter Technology that reduces energy consumption. 

Healsio Line Up

In this time of the pandemic, maintaining a healthy body and strong immune system is the most important thing in the mind of every Filipino. The Healsio line up is the best partner to provide a healthy and easy way of cooking food. 

Hotcook (KN-H24FA), a multi-purpose electric cooker, uses a steam circulation system, which cooks food by using its own moisture that retains more nutrients and natural flavor. 

Making healthy juices is easy with Sharp’s Vacuum Blender. The EM-VB2F-RD removes 80% of the air inside the jug before blending. This vacuuming process prevents oxidation, retains nutrients such as vitamins and dietary fiber, and keeps the juice original flavor without changes over time.

The Healsio Oven (AX-1700F-R) uses superheated steam to cook food instead of conventional heat. This superheated steam, which is 8-times hotter than the normal hot air, melts unwanted fats and oil and reduces salt content in food but keeps moisture to preserve nutrients. 

Cyclone Technology Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuum cleaner has become quite common in homes, offices, and even cars as they make the cleaning job easier and efficient. In this new normal, it is essential to maintain cleanliness at a different level, and Sharp knows how to exceed expectations. Cyclone Technology Vacuum (EC-EB18P-R) boasts a dynamic and high powered suction that effectively separates collected dust and allergen particles from the air. Compared to ordinary vacuum, this product can collect small particles (10 micrometers in diameter) and ensures trapped dust and allergens are not released back into the atmosphere.

True to its commitment, Sharp will continue to serve its customer and give products that will make their lives comfortable, safe, and efficient for another 100 years and this is their way of saying ‘thank you.’

The cooperation between QualiMed and Sharp leans towards this goal of establishing sustainable, healthy environments thus contributing to progressive communities and nation building.

Sharp PH launches AQUOS XU Series – the first 4K TV with 8K Resolution

Tweet

Sharp Philippines launches the newest and best AQUOS TV lineup – the first 4K TV with 8K Resolution, the Sharp AQUOS XU Series (LC-80XU930X/LC-70XU830X). One of the 2015 CES Innovation Award Honorees and touted as the highest resolution 4K TV, the XU Series raises the bar when it comes to home entertainment and leads the way to the future of high definition.

Sharp AQUOS XU Series achieves 8K Resolution on a 4K Ultra HD panel by combining Sharp’s proprietary Quattron Pro 4-Color Technology and its newest upscaling circuit, the X8-Master Engine Pro. Both work together to achieve resolution equivalent to 8K by upscaling Full HD and 4K UHD content. The result: true-to-life detail, the most vivid color expression, and deepest contrast.

Aside from providing the highest resolution on a 4K TV, the XU Series also displays more color than ever before, compared to conventional TV models. 

This is truly the “entertainment tailored for you” as it allows viewers to command the TV with the Smart Remote with Google Voice Search function – which recognizes 61 languages with a great degree of accuracy. Stream movies and TV shows, listen to music, play games exclusive to AndroidTM and enjoy instant access to Netflix, YouTubeTM, and more. 

With its Rich Color Pro Technology, boosted by a new direct LED backlight system and Ultra Dynamic Range Pro, the XU Series expands its color range reproduction and provides the deepest contrasts in its blacks and whites. Rich Color Pro Technology enhances the power of 4-Color Technology with a new direct backlight that expands the color reproduction range by 40%, displaying a wider array of vivid and true-to-life colors. Ultra Dynamic Range Pro utilizes the new direct backlight with a control area dimming technology, which switches off the backlight in dark areas to achieve darkest blacks and brightens up light areas for the brightest whites, thereby producing great contrast.

The most innovative TV technology only deserves the most premium external features. The Sharp AQUOS XU Series features a sleek aluminum frame that highlights its posh and lightweight design, and an adjustable loop stand (for LC- 80XU930X only) that can be adjusted up to 40cm on the inner portion. Its N- Black Anti-Glare Technology (for LC-80XU930X only) also enhances your viewing pleasure by reducing the reflection on the screen, while also contributing to clearer color reproduction. To up the ante, the XU Series also comes with a newly developed smart remote control equipped with a Sharp original touch pad and a slide bar, for easier external input switching and quicker access to features such as Google Voice SearchTM and Netflix.

The Sharp AQUOS XU Series not only has the highest resolution in a 4K UHD Panel, it also works with the latest Android TVTM as its platform. A step above the usual smart TVs, Android TV is the ideal OS for people who value an immersive and personalized experience with their TVs. 

The AQUOS XU Series lets you access over 600 Android apps and games on television from the Google PlayTM Store. Google CastTM is built-in, which allows you to cast your favorite entertainment and apps from your Google Cast-enabled apps right to your TV.

For consumers seeking smaller high-quality TVs, Sharp also has 4K Ultra-HD TVs powered by Android TV in 65-inch, 58-inch, and 50-inch.

The Sharp AQUOS XU Series is now available in all leading appliance stores nationwide.

Managing asthma and allergies with Sharp

Tweet

“Our Brand, Our Pride” philosophy, a pledge to uplift the quality of Filipinos’ lives through outstanding Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) Technology products. 

Here in the Philippines, three out of ten children and one out of ten adults suffer from asthma - a common disease that you probably know someone who had it as a child or still has it as an adult. You probably even have it. 

Asthma episodes may vary among kids – some outgrow it, while some retain it to adulthood. There are even those whose asthma symptoms become dormant and then reappear later in life. While most parents would think that their children will outgrow their asthma, it is always better not to take chances.

Modern advances may have made asthma easier to manage, but it is always a good measure to look for better ways to prevent asthma attacks caused by common triggers found in the house such as dust, pollen, dust mites, molds, and pet dander. Don’t let allergy triggers at home be the cause of your child’s (or your own) asthmatic episode. Make sure that the air you and your family breathe at home is clean and safe and free from airborne allergens with the unique Plasmacluster Ion Technology from Sharp.

Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) Technology is a one-of-a-kind air purifying innovation that releases positive and negative ions that effectively deactivate the effects of airborne allergens and other threats by up to 99%, make the air odor-free in a chemical-free method, remove static electricity which makes dust stick and gather, and provide better skin moisture.

Sharp has PCI Air Purifiers with Humidifying Function, which releases high-density Plasmacluster Ions and provides a well-balanced humidity in the air. Its air purifying power is doubled with its triple filters that collect airborne dust and odor particles. This is great for families that commonly experience dry eyes and dry throat, which act up normally when one wakes up.

The Sharp PCI Air Purifier with Dehumidifying Function, on the other, provides air purification while also reducing the level of humidity indoors. This is perfect for households that retain too much moisture. Plasmacluster Ion Generators, meanwhile, are also good for use in work stations and industries such as restaurants, hotels, food processing factories and textile factories. Whichever air purifier or ion generator you choose, you will be able to keep airborne allergens at bay – making your indoor space friendly and safe for anyone suffering from asthma.All Plasmacluster products are designed to deliver comfort to any room by creating an atmosphere filled with clean and safe air inspired by nature. Plasmacluster Ion Technology is engineered to provide superior Sharp experience, each made with the vision of providing comfort and convenience to each Filipino home. This is a commitment pushed by Sharp through its “Our Brand, Our Pride” philosophy, a pledge to uplift the quality of Filipinos’ lives through outstanding products.

Save money and save Mother Earth by saving energy with Sharp

Tweet

The rising cost of living these days demands that we look for ways to consume less energy to save up on electric bills. Global warming, a concern on a much bigger scale, implores us to use energy-efficient technology to lessen our carbon footprint.

There are several things in our lifestyles that we can change to save energy – and all of them are quite simple and easy to implement.

One tried and tested way to save energy is to unplug all electronic device when not in use. Turning them off but keeping them plugged consumes “phantom load” which means these devices still consume energy even when you’re not using them.

Another energy-saving tactic is to change your light bulbs with more energy-efficient kinds like LED. They may cost more to buy, but they last at least ten times longer and consume about 75% less energy compared to usual light bulbs. Simple habits like making sure your refrigerator door can save you loads of energy. Placing your refrigerator and air conditioner in strategic areas in the room – away from heat-generating devices at all costs – can also save your appliances from working too hard and therefore consuming more electricity than normal.

Upgrading your old appliances to energy-efficient ones is also a fantastic way to save energy. Old appliances always consume a lot of energy compared to their newer counterparts.

If you’re looking to upgrade to save on energy, reduce electricity consumption, and save the environment, look no further than Sharp Philippines’ lineup of J-Tech Inverter Refrigerator and Split-Type Air Conditioner.

With its 32-step Smart Inverter Technology, J-Tech Inverter Refrigerator provides energy savings by up to 40 percent, with a precise temperature control to help protect stored food and preserve it for longer periods.

With its non-CFC refrigerant, Sharp J-Tech Inverter refrigerators also help protect the ozone layer against harmful emissions. Aside from its J-Tech Inverter technology, this refrigerator also offers other convenient features like the Ag+ Nano deodorizer for a nearly odor-free interior, powerful freezing capability for efficient ice-making, a 2-Way Fresh Room with 29-liter capacity and Rapid Cooling Room, a huge 17-liter Vegetable Room, big door pockets to store more beverage bottles, and a low-vibration compressor for quiet operation.

The Sharp J-Tech Inverter Air Conditioner, on the other hand, provides convenient and energy-efficient operation with up to 60 percent in energy savings. J-Tech Inverter temperature control technology maintains room temperature and saves energy by switching compressor operation between high and low modes once the room achieves optimal temperature levels. It also achieves even more energy savings when you put it on Eco Mode. J-Tech Aircon also ensures better comfort with its different modes such as Best Sleep Mode and Baby Mode for utmost comfortable coolness for adults or babies, and a Self-Cleaning function that helps prevent the growth of molds on the heat exchanger.

It is also equipped with Plasmacluster Ion Technology which purifies the air by up to 99% with positive and negative ions that attack airborne threats such as viruses and allergens. Sharp, always conscientious when it comes to its products’ environmental impact, uses the R410A, a new type of refrigerant with low environmental effects.

Sharp’s J-Tech Inverter refrigerators and air-conditioners are all engineered to provide superior Sharp technology and sincere Japanese hospitality, each made with the vision of providing more comfort and convenience to make the lives of modern households of today much easier. 

This is all in keeping with Sharp’s commitment to the country, under its “Our Brand, Our Pride” philosophy, a pledge to uplift the quality of Filipinos’ lives through exceptional products.

Enjoy the wonderful world with Sharp’s Double Washer washing machine

Tweet

Our household chores, easy or hard chores in our home are our joyful activities in our life as ever. During weekend and you’re in a hurry to finish your household chores like cleaning the house and washing the clothes so you could go on a much-awaited movie marathon with the family after lunch for your much-needed “stay-cation.”

One is - our laundry. Washing clothes is easily chore out of all of them, mostly because it always doing sort, wash, fold, and iron all of our clothes. But sometimes, we don't have enough time to do it all from start to finish in a single sitting.

It’s been a stressful week at work but you still need to take care of the house. Cleaning can take an hour or two but for washing clothes, you’re looking at a minimum of 3-4 hours, especially if you’re a weekend washer. With all the dirty laundry that piled up over the entire week, it’s a cause for worry.

No worries. Sharp Philippines, one of the country’s leading names in home appliances, introduces the Philippines’ first and only washing machine with a twin washer feature.

Work double time at less the time with Sharp’s Double Washer washing machine!

Yes, every washing machine brand has a twin tub, which is a washer and spin dryer, but Sharp Philippines upped it a notch with its “double washer” washing machine that allows you to wash at twice the speed and yet saves you money in the process.

The double washer washing machine from Sharp has two washer tubs, each with a separate washing capacity to allow you to wash simultaneously both white and colored clothes. 

The first tub you can use for your “white” laundry like babies’ clothes, underwear, and your delicate ones, while the other one is for “colored” clothes, e.g., adult clothes, heavy wash and even rags. With the Sharp double washer washing machine, you have the luxury of choosing which tub to use depending on your wash load.

Exclusively from Sharp Philippines, the double washer washing machine provides up to 50% savings in washing time and effort and of course electricity consumption—you wash more at less the time.

And because of its patented cylindrical design that Sharp pioneered in the Philippines, you save more space anywhere you decide to put it in your house. Putting up the spin dryer alongside can also be easy since Sharp has spin dryers with a similar cylindrical shape. What more can you ask for?

With the Sharp double washer washing machine, you can take care of your home effortlessly and enjoy more quality time with the entire family—because  you deserve nothing less.

Enjoy the wonderful world of Sharp. Live it clean: live it with Sharp.
