Redefining smartphone experience : Flash PH rolls out longer-lasting, high-end smartphones at the most competitive price yet!

Tweet

Smartphones have evolved as one of the most indispensable innovations of digitalization. Over the years, it has revolutionized the way people live given its evolving capabilities in enabling how people live, play and work.

However, as the demand for these gadgets continues to grow, experts say that nowadays, smartphone users consider buying devices that are long-lasting. In a recent survey, global environmental organization, Greenpeace Philippines, noted that nine out of 10 Filipinos believe that the durability is an important aspect they look for in smartphones. Also, 98 percent of the 1,000 respondents also consider battery life of smartphones as another important feature.

In response to this demand, Flash Philippines—one of Asia’s rising developers of lifestyle and smart devices—rolls out its flagship phone, the Flash Plus 2, with superior and highly durable built-in features valued at the lowest price of Php 6,190.

“Flash Plus 2 received positive reviews from its users as we first introduced it in the country earlier this year. This model is developed to bring out superior functions while giving a more efficient and durable smartphone unit for the users,” Sheree Gayas, Flash Philippines’ marketing manager.

Among the pioneering features of Flash Plus 2 include its sleek metal case, a fast-charging battery, fingerprint recognition, high definition phone camera, and Hi-Fi audio capacity. 

These attributes allow for more durability, efficiency, and convenience.

Sleek and durable metal case

Flash Plus 2 is made more durable with its aluminum case, which is crafted employing several kinds of metal polishing processes. The case’s sides are treated with Bead Blasting textures, allowing for a stylish side view. Meanwhile, the back panel is treated with high density hairline metal drawing processes for excellent grip and added protection against scratching.

High performance and fast-charging battery

Flash Plus 2 is equipped with fast charging battery technologies—TI BQ25896 chip and 9V/1.67A battery—to achieve a mere 30-minute charging time for a 50 percent battery level. However, when fully charged, this phone guarantees a reliable capacity that lasts up to 10 hours of continuous calls.

The smartphone also highlights its Helio P10 processor, which ensures low energy consumption while providing high performance. This feature, hence, allows for maximizing entertainment needs without worrying about speedy battery drain.

Next-gen security feature

When it comes to security, Flash Plus 2 integrates a next-generation front-facing fingerprint module. This feature allows the user optimum convenience in phone unlocking because of a 3600 accuracy level that responds in half a second. It can also safeguard all the apps and private folders by assigning specific fingerprint or mark to access them.

For instance, the user can assign his thumb to open Facebook, index finger to send an e-mail, among others.

High definition phone camera

In keeping with the superior photography DNA of all Flash products, Flash Plus 2 gives better images through its built-in high definition camera with a 13-megapixel rear lens. It also adopts PDAF and contrast focusing features, which allows the user to capture fleeting moments with its 0.1 second focal alignment capability.

The camera phone also has built-in rear dual color flash lamp, RealTone, and front LED flash with Color Rendering Index that make shooting clear images even under dim light. These specs can also produce as many as 64 different lighting combinations that produce much more vivid and natural color images.

Immersive, Hi-Fi music experience

Flash Plus 2 also boasts its high-fidelity amplifying functionality. It has a quality-retaining earphone acoustics, high sound volume effects, and MIX music production essential in producing an immersive sound experience.

These are made possible through the independent AKM4375 audio decoding chip coupled with state-of-the-art IRD sound digital filter, with value-retaining signal output measuring up to high-fidelity acoustic effects. The music can also be amplified to reach 3.6 watts—eight times greater than the volume of average smartphones—using its NXP980 power amplification chip and built-in DSP algorithm.

Flash Plus 2 is now available in two color options, Luna Silver and Venus Gold, which is now available in Lazada.

Philippine Homeschool Conference Expo (PHC) : Securing a Child’s Future through Education

Tweet

The sixth annual Philippine Homeschool Conference Expo (PHC) held at the SMX Convention Center, SM Aura Premier in Taguig City on October 22, 2016.

With this year’s theme “From roots to wings”, PHC hopes to nourish the firm foundation that they have with parents by continuing to equip them with knowledge and virtues that would help them soar together. The event, led by the Homeschooling Association of the Philippine Islands (HAPI) gathered some of the country’s experts on homeschooling to share their insights on the importance and implications of homeschooling.

Among them was Eric Nicdao, District Manager of Philam Life. Nicdao explained that while there are distinct advantages to homeschooling, it is never without a challenge. 

“The cost of education for homeschooling a child is not inexpensive as others perceive it to be”, said Mr. Nicdao.

He further explained that this is because homeschooling entails the presence of one of the parents at home which will potentially reduce the family’s overall income. With the increasing costs of college education, it will be very daunting to have only one breadwinner. Mr. Nicdao also shared why it is important to plan early for the child’s education.

“As a parent myself, I understand the real-life struggles that parents go through to give the best to their children. It is, therefore, wise and even necessary to invest in a plan with guaranteed education benefits even if school-going children are still quite young. Plans like this should have the potential to grow to cope adequately with annual tuition fee hikes.” Nicdao added. 

“More to the point, a parent and a child should not have to guess what the future brings. There are too many uncertainties already and having something secure and reliable allows a family to focus on learning and academic excellence rather than trying to make sure that there is a school they can afford.”

To help address these concerns, Philam Life launched a new education product, Future Scholar.

Future Scholar offers guaranteed education benefits and long term growth potential through access to expertly-managed funds. The plan will continue without the need to pay future payments should the payor pass away or suffer total and permanent disability.It is to these concerns that Philam Life’s Future Scholar plan focuses with its guaranteed educational benefits and unique features available like making life insurance coverage for parents or premium adjustments in times of great need.
