realme Philippines completes its latest 7 Series with the realme 7i.

The top 2 smartphone brand in the country, realme Philippines joins every passionate young Filipino as they start their quest for success with powerful and reliable technology. Starting October 22, the latest realme device -- realme 7i -- will be available in the Philippines. 

The realme 7i launch was headlined by certified kakaibabe Donnalyn Bartolome, the official face of realme 7i.

A stylish and dependable lower midrange smartphone that gets the job done for the country’s next top students, artists, vloggers and photographers. Donnalynn led the reveal of realme 7i’s stylish design, 64MP quad-camera setup that captures every style, large display with a 90Hz refresh rate and large-capacity 5,000mAh battery with 18W Fast Charge technology.

All these features and power come packaged in a trendy design inspired by the whimsical scenes of the Arctic and the Northern Lights. The realme 7i comes in two colorways: Polar Blue and Aurora Green. The back of the phone has a mirror finish at the top and a matte finish at the bottom perfect for the users’ inner fashionista.

“Although quarantine measures restrict travel and gatherings and require us to stay indoors, this doesn’t mean that life stops. People still have to work, get an education, enhance their skills and pursue their passions. We want to make adjusting to the new normal easier through the realme 7i, our midrange offering that can help young Filipinos start pursuing their passions and succeed in their daily adventures. Whether it be doing work or school requirements during the day or gaming and binge-watching at night, the realme 7i delivers an elevated and uninterrupted smartphone experience, a fitting cap to the launch of our 7 series,” shares realme Philippines VP for Marketing Austine Huang.

The launch coincided with the announcement of realme 7i’s ambassador, Philippine Social Media Sweetheart Donnalyn Bartolome. Bartolome gained online popularity by unapologetically being herself across her work, from music to online content. The social media star walked the audience through the best features of the realme 7i and showcased how the new device can be the youth’s stylish partner in pursuing their passions, skills and interests.

 

For those always on the run

Young go-getters constantly juggling roles and responsibilities -- deadlines to meet, emails to answer, friends to catch up with, modules to finish, phone calls to make -- will find the perfect partner for their high-maintenance schedule with the realme 7i.

The newest  smartphone from realme Philippines, as revealed by Donnalyn, boasts a 5,000mAh battery and 18W Fast Charge technology that needs less than two hours to fully charge and lasts up to 34 days on standby mode. The realme 7i’s large-capacity battery is perfect for aspiring content creators, students and digital buffs who are looking for a stylish and heavy-duty smartphone that can support their daily lifestyle activities.

When used in Super Power Saving Mode, the phone can last up to 41.1 hours on standby even with only 5 percent power, a very helpful tool especially if you don’t have a powerbank on hand.

 

Ready for your close-up?

Developing creative skills, especially if you’re a beginner, gets easy with the new UIS Max Video Stabilization feature of the realme 7i. Besides a wider field of vision, it ensures an anti-shake effect for that smooth shot even while running or jumping that’s just perfect for that next vlog. The realme 7i’s powerful camera also has built-in night filters such as Cyberpunk, Flamingo and Modern Gold for ready-to-go artistic shots.

Young Filipino users eager to take their mobile photography a notch higher can rely on realme 7i’s quad-camera module with four different lenses -- 64MP primary camera, EIS 119-degree ultra-wide lens, macro lens and B&W portrait lens -- ready to capture even the minutest detail of that new artwork, and a perfect buddy in unleashing the inner fashionista. For even better selfies, the realme 7i’s 16MP front camera is developed for different skin types, face shapes and features, allowing users to take more accurate and natural-looking shots.

The realme 7i is powered by a 16MP front camera sensor that supports AI beauty, bokeh effect, and  HDR. With these superb camera features, vloggers, influencers and enthusiasts can take bomb selfies and enhance their Instagram feeds while investing in their hobbies without having to drain their wallets in the process. 

 

Immersive experience that never goes out of style

A few hours of relaxing and de-stressing never hurt anybody, right?

Donnalyn flaunted realme 7i’s 6.5 inches large display, perfect for binge-watching favorite series on TV or Netflix with family or hours of video games with friends. With the realme 7i’s 90Hz refresh rate, videos play smoother and snappier and video game details look sharper -- and all without lag. Users can now enjoy multitasking without worrying.

Meet the young and vibrant artist, YouTuber/ Vlogger Christi Fider with "Teka, Teka, Teka"

Tweet

Meet the newest recording artist, who is also a bubbly YouTuber and a vlogger Christi Fider with her single, “Teka, Teka, Teka" composed by award-winning songwriter Joven Tan, just released by Star Music.

“To be a successful singer,” is a dream that not everyone gets to realize. 

Not with Christi Fider, (known as ChristieV on YouTube)  At first glance, you may think she is just the average millennial whose main preoccupation is the latest fashion, trendy gadgets and having all her YOLO moments enumerated and shared via her vlog. There is more to the pretty young Ms. Fider that meets the proverbial eye.

Christi, the AB History graduate from University of Sto. Thomas was exposed to different sounds and music growing up in a family whose love for anything and everything that has to do with music is deeply rooted. The early musical exposure, thanks to all the tapes and vinyl records played at home, watching concerts and listening to the radio, made Christi realize that performing is what she loves and she thanks God for the gifted of a good singing voice.

Fider shares: 

“When I take my shower, usually I sing pop songs. I also like Broadway tunes as well. It depends on my mood, really. Sometimes I have the mood to like indie musicians, the type that ordinary people would not care to listen too, or something they are not familiar with. My music range is very wide. For now, I have a bit of struggle on what genre to specialize since it is dependent on my mood. If the song resonates with me, or I like the artists singing it, I’d probably sing it too.”

She loves the voice of Christina Aguilera which she thinks is Aguilera’s strength. She also loves Britney Spears, the way she moves and carries herself. As a kid, she was partial to Sarah Geronimo. Now, she listens to Marion Aunor and Moira dela Torre.

What made her say yes to sing TEKA, TEKA, TEKA? 

“I really love the songs written by direk Joven Tan. I know that am quite biased if he’s the composer of a song. It has a good meaning, and has good lyrics as well. What I noticed about today’s songs, the music is different. It is not lyrics-focused. Sometimes they give more emphasis to the sound. With the song Teka, Teka, I felt that many people can relate to it. Since it’s my debut single, I want something that pleasant to listen too because many people today are lonely. If they listen to Teka, Teka, it will give hope and bring joy to other people.”

Her feelings now that people are using the song as their TikTok anthem of choice: 

“Happy. No, ecstatic, I must say. Even if the song has yet to be released but some people already used it for TikTok. Zeus Collins was the first one who made a TikTok for it. Of course, I was surprised when he used it because he is known for dancing. I didn’t imagine that Teka Teka is can be used to dance too. I was surprised when Zeus even choreographed a dance for Teka Teka and the people followed it. He sets the standard and people followed it.”

She carries on: 

“I was likewise surprised with the people’s response to the song. They found the song danceable, uplifting and gives a happy vibe and energy. The bubbly pop version suits my personality. In Spotify, my song has an electronic kind of mix to it. But many listeners were able to relate to the pop version,”

As a new artist, she hopes her fellow millennials see her as: 

“I want them to see me as someone vibrant and bubbly. I want to bring back the danceable tunes. I want to give the beat and groove back to the people. That is something that everyone needs right. Times are hard and I hope that thru my song, I can help relieve the stress of others. Let us bring back the good times.”

Teka, Teka, Teka, is written by Joven Tan, interpreted by Christi Fider and released by Star Music. It is now available in Spotify, Apple Music, itunes, Youtube and Deezer.

After being crowned, I realised I was in a position where I had the power to influence young women, and I wanted to do my part to encourage them to stand up for themselves. I used to just shrug off people who say insensitive or hurtful comments, but now call them out and tell them they’re wrong, and I encourage all women to not be afraid to do the same,” shared Young.

Kyle Jennerman has discovered and enjoyed the country and  claims to have fallen in love with the Philippines and the Filipinos. 

Also known as “Kulas”, Kyle is a 28-year old Canadian who has visited 29 enchanting countries in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific, but was totally smitten by our country’s special charm, that he has decided to stay here for good.

Kyle is the number 1 on the list of “Top 5 Foreign Bloggers Who Sincerely Love the Philippines and the Filipinos” and one of the “Top 5 of the World’s Best Male Travel Bloggers” according to Huffington Post. 

More excitingly, we finally get to meet Kulas or Kyle during the press conference last August 6. He shared to us his experiences with full of praises for the Philippines - the beauty of the nature, the beaches, the environment, the food, the culture and the friendly, happy and “smiley” Filipinos he meet in his adventure.

Why #BecomingFilipino? 

Kyle is not a filipino by blood.  He’s a Canadian. At first, Kyle’s mission is to become a Filipino. How and Why? 

"I love Canada. I grew up in Canada. I am so freaking proud of where I am from. I love the Philippines and would be honored to be able to call myself “part Filipino.”

“Experiencing and seeing the beauty of the Philippines and witnessed  its culture that has inspired so much happiness in my life! I think of the friendly people, culture and amazing adventure means 'Happiness" "Kaligayahan" "Kalipay."

"I just want to share it and inspire the world to come and experience the Philippines," Kyle said.

Many people follow his journeys and visual storytelling, via social media through #BecomingFilipino.

“I have never experienced before what I got to experience in the Philippines. I have never met such kind, giving, friendly, hard-working, outgoing, proud and happy people. I have never experienced a culture like the Philippines; a culture that every single day inspires me, and that I look up to. It is a place where the natural environment is unbelievably beautiful. The waterfalls, beaches, mountains, rivers.... I could go on and on about it. But what really inspires me about the Philippines is the PEOPLE. If you are Filipino and you are reading this. Thank You. Thank you for being Filipino. Thank you for being part of a culture where family isn’t the only family, but friends and even strangers are family. Where smiling is genuine, giving is natural and sharing is a part of everyday life. A culture that goes through a lot of really tough times and suffering, but still shares a great big SMILE.” 

                                                                                                        - - - Kyle Jennermann

#BecomingFilipino is an adventure and passion. It is 100% from the heart, full of inspiration and passion with one goal: Inspiring people to visit, connect with and experience the wonders and beauty of the Philippines in a positive way.
