A Look Back on How HONOR X9 Series Became the No. 1 Mid-range Smartphone in PH

It has now become a tradition for HONOR to launch its biggest hit X9 series every January


Leading global AI smart devices provider HONOR Philippines has dominated the mid-range smartphone market with its iconic and biggest hit smartphone market with its iconic and biggest hit HONOR X9 series. Started with HONOR X9a 5G in 2023, HONOR has been dropping hits after hit, literally. At this point, the new year's campaign of the viral phone series has already become a tradition.

“When we launched HONOR X9a 5G, we literally had zero expectations. What we had was hope and confidence in our capabilities, and then it exceeded all expectations. We did not let the success get into our heads; we just thought it was beginner’s luck. So, we leveled up with HONOR X9b 5G, and again it became a massive hit. Then HONOR X9c 5G came and it was our biggest feat yet, outdoing everything we’ve done in 2023 and 2024,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

The HONOR X9 series has been synonymous with its exceptional durability, raising the bar year after year. What began with 5-foot drop tests evolved into a 50-foot intense drop test-- and this year, HONOR X9c pushed to the extreme, dropped from a helicopter hundreds of feet above ground, further proving its unmatched toughness.

“One can only think about how we can even top the past three generations of HONOR X9 series. We must admit, it has become a challenge at this point, but with the technology and talent we have at HONOR, it is indeed a good challenge. I’m very excited for everyone to witness what we have been planning for the past few months,” Cheng continued.

That unforgettable moment—when 264 brave participants dropped their HONOR X9c 5G simultaneously—earned HONOR a coveted spot in the Guiness World Records for “The Most People Performing a Mobile Phone Drop Test Simultaneously.” This historic feat positioned HONOR Philippines as a benchmark in delivering credible, impactful messaging, reinforcing HONOR’s place as the standard for innovation, durability, and trust with the Filipino consumers.

The question remains, is HONOR ready to follow the success of the past HONOR X9 series? Stay tuned.

Android and iOS sharing made easy with vivo X300 Series


The most wonderful time of the year also happens to be the most share-heavy. From Christmas dinners to New Year countdowns, smartphones fill up fast with photos, videos, and memories waiting to be passed around. Yet for many users, especially those switching between Android and iOS, sharing files across devices still feels like an unnecessary holiday hurdle.

That familiar pause after someone says, “Can you send me that photo?” is exactly what the vivo X300 Series is here to erase.

No cables, no cloud detours, and no multiple uploads and downloads. Just a quick tap, and the moment moves with you.

One tap, two phones, and zero hassle

One-Tap Transfer works through NFC technology, allowing photos and files to move directly between vivo X300 Series and an iPhone. To begin, iPhone users only need to download vivo’s EasyShare app, available for iPhone 12 and newer models running iOS 17 or later.

Don’t Let Grinches Steal Your Data: Samsung Galaxy A Series Offers Essential Security for the Holiday Rush


The holiday season is a time for sharing photos, snagging the best online deals, and traveling to see loved ones. However, it is also the busy season for hackers and data thieves looking to exploit the uptick in digital activity. Between checking bank accounts using the public mall Wi-Fi and downloading new shopping apps, personal information—like passwords, credit card numbers, and location data—is more exposed than usual. Do not fret as Samsung is helping consumers stay one step ahead with the security-first Galaxy A series, featuring the Galaxy A56 5G, Galaxy A36 5G, Galaxy A26 5G, Galaxy A17 5G | LTE, and Galaxy A07 LTE.


Holidays made joyful and secure with the Galaxy A series

You do not need a premium budget to get premium protection during this vulnerable time of year. The new Galaxy A series brings Samsung Knox Vault to more people than ever, acting as a digital safe inside the phone. By using a dedicated processor and memory to isolate sensitive information like PINs and biometrics from the rest of the device, Samsung Knox Vault ensures that even if the main system is compromised, a user's most private data remains under lock and key.

To combat the human mistakes that often happen during the holiday rush—such as clicking a suspicious link or misplacing a device in a crowded shop—the Galaxy A series includes intelligent, real-time defenses. The Auto Blocker feature acts as a vigilant security guard by automatically stopping unauthorized apps from being installed and blocking malicious activity. Meanwhile these devices are also equipped with advanced Theft Protection, which allows users to remotely lock their screens and requires biometric authentication to prevent unauthorized access by strangers.

Beyond the immediate holiday threats, Samsung is committed to ensuring that a user's digital life stays defended for years to come. A phone should stay safe long after the decorations are put away, which is why the Galaxy A series offers an industry-leading 6 years of security updates and 6 generations of Android OS upgrades. This long-term commitment transforms these devices from a simple holiday purchase into a smart, lasting investment in personal privacy and peace of mind.

vivo X300 Series Photo Contest winner shows power of telephoto storytelling

Multimedia producer Bryan Aliwalas wins 1st, takes home vivo X300



vivo Philippines turned zoom into spotlight at the vivo X300 Series Launch Photo Contest, a competition that challenged guests to tell powerful stories using only the flagship’s 200MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera during the launch event.

With intention, emotion, and striking contrast at the core of his frame, multimedia producer Bryan Aliwalas emerged as the grand winner, proving that distance is not a limitation, it’s a new perspective waiting to be captured.




The contest kicked off live on November 26 during the vivo X300 Series Launch, where Photography Masterclass speaker and judge Jan Mayo reviewed all submissions and selected the Top 3 finalists based on telephoto creativity and storytelling.

The top 3 then moved online for a 3-day public voting period on vivo's official Facebook page, where the winner was determined by the highest combined reach and engagement. It was during this stage that Bryan’s 15x zoom photo of a spotlight-lit wall artwork captured the audience’s attention and earned him the top spot.

Judge Jan Mayo, commended Bryan’s photo: “When we say telephoto, it offers a new perspective of something unknown or far away. The black area emphasizes what’s in the middle, making the vibrance and contrast truly stand out.'’

Winner’s Insight: Seeing Far, Feeling Close

Bryan said, “At first, I took photos of subjects close to me, and they turned out great. But I wanted to challenge myself, and of course the phone, so I decided to capture something far from my position. I noticed an artwork on the wall illuminated by the event lights, zoomed in to around 15x, found the right angle, and took the shot. The vivo X300 handled it perfectly and delivered a clear, detailed photo.”

“I also paid close attention to Jan Mayo’s talk and the sample photos he showed that were taken with the vivo X300 Pro. When I later noticed the artwork highlighted by a spotlight, it immediately struck me as the perfect subject,” he added.

As part of vivo’s appreciation for creative excellence, Bryan will receive the flagship smartphone, vivo X300. He was on a drive to Tagaytay City when he found out about his win from his girlfriend, making the moment even more memorable.

Engagement in Every Frame

Beyond the grand prize, vivo also honored the entry that generated high engagement on the official Facebook voting post.

Branded content editor Euden Valdez captured a subtle yet striking moment, noticing her subject across the table and using the glass in front as an unexpected frame, earning her 2nd place and a vivo V60.

“It made my day! I was super-duper surprised and grateful,” said Euden.

Zoom up to 1600mm with vivo X300 Series

Jan Mayo tests vivo X300 Pro's 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, captures stunning shots

vivo Philippines officially unveiled the vivo X300 Series at an exclusive launch event that spotlighted a photography masterclass led by acclaimed Filipino photographer Jan Mayo on November 26, 2025 at Shangri-La The Fort, BGC.

During the masterclass, Jan showcased the vivo X300 Pro's 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera and pro-level stabilization, giving attendees a hands-on experience of its professional-grade imaging features.

Through the lens with Jan

Guests experienced professional photography techniques up close with the X300 Series. Jan addressed common shooting challenges, including long-distance shots, motion, low light, and complex lighting.

In a live demonstration, event host Nicole Cordoves served as the model while Jan photographed her from the stage to the booth across the room, showcasing the X300 Pro's telephoto power, depth control, and clarity at a distance.

The vivo X300 allows users to capture life from any distance, with clarity, emotion, and style,” said Jan.

Frames of creativity: vivo X300 Series Photo Contest

The venue became a playground for creativity as attendees were invited to capture their own entries for the photo contest using the X300 Series. Every shot was an opportunity to explore composition, perspective, and storytelling, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary images.

Judged by Jan Mayo, the top 3 finalists of the contest were Euden Valdez, Bryan Aliwalas, and Rica Virtucio.

Euden spotted a girl across the table, drawn to her shoulder tattoo. The glass framed the moment perfectly. Bryan, on the other hand, chased the play of light and dark until a creative frame emerged. Lastly, Rica waited for the right alignment - railings, leaves, a passing figure. Three frames became one quiet moment.

Entries were posted on vivo Philippines’ Facebook page for public voting until November 28, with the highest-engagement participant winning a brand new vivo X300.

Stage energy: CALISTA live

Adding to the excitement, four-member P-Pop girl group CALISTA energized the audience with performances of their hits, including “Race Car,” “Oops My Bad,” “Don’t Have Time,” and “Alas Dose.”

Their lively stage presence complemented the creative and energetic vibe of the X300 Series launch, making it a memorable celebration of music, innovation, and mobile photography.

Start 2026 Strong with the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026), the Ultimate Companion for PC-Level Performance You Can Take Anywhere

As 2025 draws to a close, many are setting sharper goals and gearing up for a more focused, productive year ahead. HUAWEI, the number one tablet brand in the Philippines in shipment volume[1], boosts that momentum with the new HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026). A device built to elevate efficiency and spark creativity for professionals, creators, and ambitious go-getters, the groundbreaking tablet delivers 4-in-1 productivity performance that helps turn plans into measurable progress.

Packed with PC-level performance, intelligent creative tools, the HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro, and a stunning 12-inch 3rd Gen Ultra-clear PaperMatte Display, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) feels less like a device and more like a mindset shift toward leveling up both personal and professional growth.

Start the Year Ready: Work Sharper With PC-Level Tools

Whenever January rolls in, it seems everybody’s to-do list suddenly doubles. During these moments, one simply wishes they had the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) as the productivity partner sooner.

With PC-level WPS Office 3.0, the device delivers a powerful suite built for young professionals, entrepreneurs, and creators. It lets users work across up to 42 Microsoft-compatible file formats—from in-depth reports to last-minute presentations. Used with the HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard and HUAWEI Mouse, it transforms into a full 4-in-1 desktop-style toolbar, so navigating workloads can feel as if working on a laptop.

The device’s upgraded tools, like LaTeX formula editing, editable chart copy-paste, multi-language support, and seamless syncing across the entire HUAWEI ecosystem, keep users moving without interruptions. So whether used for reviewing proposals during mid-day coffee, typing notes between meetings, or polishing a deck before a deadline, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) is all one needs to be all set!

Even if the to-do list doubles, facing the challenges of a packed work day is always manageable with these PC-level features.

With the 12-inch 3rd Gen Ultra-clear PaperMatte Display, productivity sessions only get better—the paper-like screen stays clear, glare-free, and easy on the eyes. The 144Hz refresh rate and P3 wide color gamut deliver fluid motion and vibrant detail, while the advanced anti-glare and anti-reflection layers keep visuals sharp under harsh office lighting or direct outdoor sunlight.

Backed by SGS Low Visual Fatigue Premium Performance 2.1 certification and TĂśV Rheinland anti-reflection, low blue light, and flicker-free protection, the display is engineered to keep the eyes comfortable for longer. It helps reduce eye strain by 34% and even lowers brain fatigue by 14% compared to previous models[2], allowing focus without feeling drained. Its sparkle was also cut by 50%, giving crisp and glare-free visuals.

This enables users to review documents longer without eye fatigue, design confidently with accurate colors, and stay focused even during back-to-back tasks. With the 12-inch 3rd Gen Ultra-clear PaperMatte Display, every workspace—cafĂ© tables, coworking lounges, airport gates—is a comfortable, distraction-free zone that keeps productivity flowing. It’s the perfect blend of user-centricity and PC power.

Stay Inspired: Accomplish Goals With Confidence and Flow

Big ideas don’t wait—and with the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026), neither do Filipinos determined to achieve their goals. For young professionals and higher educators juggling multiple roles, it becomes a space where ideas move freely from thought to action. Whether marking up lecture materials, refining project proposals, or mapping out long-term goals, everything feels fluid and intuitive.

Additionally, writing notes during meetings, highlighting readings between classes, or sketching concepts for a presentation feels natural and distraction-free with the upgraded HUAWEI M-Pencil Pro. Pinch and rotate gestures make it easy to shift between tasks, while instant access to HUAWEI Notes ensures creative thought and flow remain uninterrupted, whether it’s a sudden insight during a discussion or a research idea that hits mid-commute. Split Screen multitasking makes it easy to read references on one side while organizing notes on the other, keeping the workflow smooth and focus intact.

For those building creative portfolios or preparing academic and professional materials, the GoPaint and Wondershare Filmora apps adapt seamlessly. From visualizing ideas for digital content to refining materials for lectures, workshops, or training sessions, it supports every stage of the creative and learning process. Editing videos for class modules, creating professional presentations, and prioritizing personal projects become manageable without breaking one’s rhythm.

With the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026), all the creative freedom creatives need is right at their fingertips.

Designed for Your Lifestyle: Lightweight, Powerful, and Always Ready

Young professionals deserve a device that works as hard as they do. That’s why this productivity powerhouse is built with long-term ambition in mind.

Slim, lightweight, and effortlessly stylish, the tablet fits easily into anyone’s bag and routine. At just 5.9mm thin and 555g with a refined pearlescent Greenery or White finish, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) has a professional yet stylish edge that complements both office fits and creative on-the-go setups. It looks just as polished in a boardroom as it does on a study desk, making it a natural extension of both the professional and academic life.

Long days are part of the journey, and this reliable device has a massive 10,100 mAh battery that supports these jam-packed days, from morning planning to evening wrap-ups. Whether delivering presentations, reviewing coursework, responding to emails, or finalizing projects late in the day, the HUAWEI MatePad 12 X (2026) stays agile and ready, enabling young professionals to focus less on charging and more on moving forward with confidence.

More Than a Tablet, It’s Your New Year Mindset

It’s the tool that accelerates career growth, fuels side projects, streamlines workflows, and opens new avenues for creativity. It’s the device that helps work smarter, create bolder, and show up with confidence in every space in 2026.

PLDT Home also extends its holiday treats for Fiber Prepaid customers who also get a chance to win Lazada vouchers and exclusive Next Upgrade discounts.

Enjoy PLDT Home’s Holiday Treats until December 31, 2025. For more information, visit www.pldthome.com.
