Tweet

realme, the Philippines’ number one smartphone brand as of Q2 2021, dares to disrupt the local tech industry once again with the highly anticipated release of two of its latest products: its latest flagship smartphone, the realme GT Master Edition, and its first ever laptop, the realme Book.

Launching officially in the Philippines on September 23, the realme GT Master Edition and the realme Book offer a premium yet affordable experience ideal for multi-faceted millennials, young professionals, and students looking to enable their passions with innovative technology.

“realme’s new offerings represent some of the very best in technology, at a price that’s affordable and accessible to many Filipinos. We look forward to helping the realme Squad in accomplishing their goals and achieving their full potential with the realme GT Master Edition and the realme Book,” said Austine Huang, realme Philippines’ VP for Marketing. “These two products are truly the embodiment of our ‘premium affordable’ philosophy, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience them ”, adds Huang.

Experience #MasteryBeyondSpeed with the real flagship disruptor

Filipinos looking for a flagship smartphone at an affordable price can turn to the realme GT Master Edition, which promises #MasteryBeyondSpeed.

The GT Master Edition boasts a powerful performance with the industry-leading Snapdragon 778G Processor that allows for a smooth and seamless daily smartphone experience, whether for working, creating content, or mobile gaming. This also enables the phone for 5G connectivity as 5G mobile networks are rapidly emerging in the country.

Design is one of the defining characteristics of the realme GT Master Edition as realme strived to push the boundaries of product design once more. The Voyager Grey colorway is designed by world-renowned industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa who is best known for his work with brands such as MUJI, Herman Miller and many more. It sports a suitcase design, taking inspiration from the concept of travel and exploration. The variant is also made of exquisite vegan leather, which is the first concave vegan leather in the industry, so as to replicate the horizontal grid of the suitcase.

The realme GT Master Edition also comes in a Daybreak Blue colorway, which is inspired by the colors of dawn, and uses Japan’s patented PICASUS technology that covers the phone in a nano-laminate coating giving it a shiny, metallic, and holographic feel. Both colorways are slim and lightweight; the Daybreak Blue comes in at 8mm thickness and weighs in at a lean 174g, while the Voyager Grey measures 8.7mm and weighs 180g.

All your favorite content and games come through crisp and clear on the realme GT Master Edition’s industry-leading Samsung Super AMOLED display, with a 120Hz screen refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate, guaranteeing lag-free visuals. The colors are lively and vibrant as well, thanks to the 100% DCI-P3 color display.

When it comes to gaming, the realme GT Master Edition is guaranteed to handle popular games such as Mobile Legends, Genshin Impact, Axie Infinity, and many more with its built-in Vapor Chamber Cooling System, which greatly reduces temperatures from the phone’s heat sources to keep it consistently performing well. The phone also charges quickly with 65W SuperDart Charge technology, which can get it to 50% in only 13 minutes, allowing you to enjoy your smartphone experience for longer.

Other features of the realme GT Master Edition include a 64MP Primary Camera and a 32MP Selfie Camera for all your photography and videography needs. In addition, the realme GT Master Edition will be available in two storage variants: 8GB RAM + 128GB internal storage, and 8GB RAM + 256GB internal storage.

realme’s first ever laptop is #DesignedToEmpower

In line with its mission to provide a well-rounded digital experience to every Filipino, realme dares to disrupt the laptop category with its first ever laptop, the realme Book, which is the perfect device for multi-faceted millennials and students, with features designed to empower them in their modern lifestyles.

Do everything you need to without hassle and worry with the realme Book’s 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor in Core i3 and Core i5 variants and 8GB dual-channel LPDDR4x RAM. It adopts the 10nm SuperFin manufacturing process that provides excellent energy efficiency performance and carries the new CPU + GPU structure, making it perform much better than the previous generation. The realme Book’s 512GB SSD storage also guarantees memory space for all your apps and files, as well as quick startups every time.

The realme Book’s 14” display also boasts a high-resolution of 2160x1440 pixels, which is 1.5x more than a 1080p display, making it unbelievably clear. It also has 100% sRGB color gamut screens that make colors pop even more, as well as a 3:2 ratio that shows more content, making it ideal for office use, graphic design, and entertainment. The display is also brighter than most laptops at 400 nits, 33% brighter than most laptops, ensuring clearness and visibility even outdoors. The display’s ultra-narrow 5.3mm bezel also breaks the visual boundary, bringing more stunning visual effects and a more immersive experience.

For users constantly on the go, the realme Book is highly portable due to its slim 14.9mm-thick body and light 1.38-kg weight, uncommon for 14-inch laptops and thinner than other leading brands. Despite its slimness, it’s also sturdy with an aluminum alloy body that is not only comfortable, but also has a premium look and feel, coming in Real Silver and Real Blue colorways.

Other premium features on the realme Book include a 54Wh large battery that boasts up to 11 hours of usage time for everyday office tasks, coupled with the patented 65W Super-Fast Charge technology that charges the realme Book to 50% in only 30 minutes—and is also compatible with other realme and USB-C devices. It is also equipped with Stereo Sound by DTS (Powerful Bass Sound by HARMAN) for a crystal-clear audio experience.

Catch the official unveiling of the realme GT Master Edition and the realme Book, on September 23, 6 p.m. on the realme Philippines Facebook page and YouTube channel. The realme Squad can also look forward to exciting deals and promos to be offered during this highly anticipated launch.

Globe takes you to GIFLand! Creates #SariSaringRewardingExperiences for customers in annual 917 celebration

Tweet

Amidst the ongoing global health crisis, Globe endeavors to bring joy to its customers via better connectivity and innovations that uplift the lives of the Filipino people.

Through its annual 917 Day celebration, Globe continues to reinvent ways to share compassion and care, and provide customers with #SariSaringRewardingExperiences.

GIFLand is a virtual amusement park featuring the new offerings, treats and activities that are in store for Globe customers, which they can access right at their fingertips.

The festival highlights the many ways Globe values its customers, to play a more meaningful part in their everyday lives.

Chief Commercial Officer Issa Guevarra-Cabreira shared in the Globe Innovation Fest (GIF), “The core of what we do is to provide a richer, fuller, more rewarding experience to our customers. We continuously strive to deliver innovations across our products and services -- with our customers at front and center of why we do it.”

September 17 or 917 is the time of the year when Globe shows its appreciation to its loyal customers. It is inspired by the company’s original and longstanding 917 prefix.

“Tuwing nasisiyahan ang isang Globe customer, ibig sabihin we did our job well. Their wonderful experience is the reward Globe strives for. Yan ang joy na hinahabol namin, whether it’s joy between two people or the joy that brings hope to a nation of more than a hundred million,” added Guevarra-Cabreira.

A GDay to share rewarding experiences with our customers and communities

Bianca Wong, Head of the Feel Valued Tribe at Globe, showed how people could enjoy GDay Everyday with the sari-saring rewarding experiences at GIFLand, encouraging the audience to multiply good vibes through sharing. What makes the 917 celebration really special this year is that customers can share their rewards with communities needing help.

An example of this is Globe’s G Legends Cup, an amateur mobile gaming tournament that lets winners share their prize with their beneficiary of choice. Other exciting activities include G Chance the Raffle, the G Super Sale, G Business Summit, and G Music Fest where customers’ participation in each program contributes to collective support to Globe’s partner beneficiaries.

“Our bayanihan spirit is playing a crucial role in helping our fellow Filipinos face our current challenges. And, we want to give our customers the opportunity to further ignite this bayanihan spirit. Which is why with GDay Everyday, we reward our customers and at the same time, empower them to support the wider community through Globe’s 15 partner beneficiaries,” she said.

Customers can also use their Globe Rewards points to donate to sustainability partners that support education, environment, health and well-being, poverty reduction, and disaster relief.

Digitizing transactions with Globe Shop & Pay

Another innovation launched at GIFLand is Shop & Pay, a self-service, highly-interactive one-stop shop for all your essentials in Globe.

Gino Guinto, Globe’s Vice President for Retail Sales Operations gave audiences a virtual walk-through of the new technology, highlighting its convenience and accessibility.

He said, “Sa panahon ngayon, kailangan talaga nating makasiguro na ligtas tayo tuwing lumalabas tayo ng ating mga bahay, kaya pinadali namin ang mga transactions ng ating mga customers to lessen their risk of exposure sa Globe Shop & Pay.”

Be it a request for a mobile or broadband plan, a handset, 917 apparel and merchandise, the new Globe Shop & Pay is sure to make transacting with Globe safer and more convenient for customers. It also features a vending machine to pay bills, buy load, call card or SIM, and cash-in via GCash.

Everything you need and love in the new GlobeOne Super app!

At the GDay Circus Tent, Globe unveiled the new GlobeOne Super App, which combines the features and experiences of all existing apps -- GlobeOne, TM, Globe At Home, and Globe Rewards. It aims to be the one app that will empower Globe customers to access all of their essential transactions and accounts, be it topping up their prepaid mobile or broadband plans, redemption of rewards or payment of bills.

“With an app that has everything, we made sure that the experience is easy for our customers for their everyday use. Sa GlobeOne app, customers can have easy access to Globe Rewards that they need in their everyday lives -- rewards such as KonsultaMD, game pins, discounts to restaurants,” said Juuya Reyes, Product Owner of the GlobeOne App.

Globe Prepaid Brand Head Eric Tanbauco also unveiled GoCREATE, an exclusive feature on the GlobeOne app that allows prepaid customers to take charge and customize their own promo.

He shared, “We think it’s also important for our customers to have control over their promos. With GoCREATE, customers can customize their own promos based sa needs nila. Sila mismo have a say on what goes in their own promo. Pwede nilang piliin, for example, how much data to use, how long it will run, and kung saan gagamitin.”

Para #GDayEveryday, customers can now download the new GlobeOne app for FREE in the Apple Store and the Google Play Store.

In line with Globe’s mission to drive digital adoption and transformation in the Philippines, they also shared exciting updates on the Globe Online Shop. Globe’s Digital Experience Lead, Mitch Opao, happily shared to customers that they can do more on the platform, including renewing their mobile plans, ordering their Home Prepaid WiFi devices online, tracking its delivery, and paying cashless via GCash.

Globe supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 9, which recognizes the importance of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development, and UN SDG No. 12 on sustainable consumption and production. It is committed to upholding the UN Global Compact Principles and 10 UN SDGs.

Music fans can also contribute to the collective support of our partner beneficiaries when they attend the G Music Fest on September 25 and 26.

Likewise, every spend at the first-ever G Super Sale, an exclusive marketplace partnership with Lazada and GLife, from September 15 to 19 will have a corresponding contribution to community-uplifting beneficiaries.

Jerry Orbos, Natasha Goulbourn Foundation (Hopeline), the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), PGH Medical Foundation, Inc (PGH MFI), Rise Against Hunger, Rotary Foundation, Save Philippine Seas, Teach for the Philippines, Virtualahan, Walang Iwanan Alliance.
