Tweet

Smart devices exist to make home life more comfortable. Multi-device integration, touchless technology, and devices for fitness and privacy needs are just some of the smart home trends expected to be big this year.

Enter the Xiaomi 12 Series, known as a premium smartphone with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and pro-grade cameras that can improve the quality of one's smart home.

Here's how it can be paired with Xiaomi AIoT smart products:

Keeping track of your workout

Wearable tech like the Xiaomi Watch S1 Active are helpful in keeping track of one’s workout progress. It supports 19 professional fitness modes such as HIIT, basketball, and cycling. Its 1.43” AMOLED high-resolution display can show the average pace, calories burnt, and heart rate to guide people with their workouts. The device can be connected to the Xiaomi 12 via bluetooth, so users can answer calls, read messages, and see notifications with one tap of the watch face.

Cleaning made easier

Keep floors spic and span with the Mi Robot Vacuum Mop 2 Lite, a portable vacuum that uses powerful suction to clean surfaces. It is designed to clean entire floors and can remove stubborn stains. Users can also customize its settings to cater each room of the house. For easier access, the device can be controlled via the Xiaomi Home/Mi Home App on the Xiaomi 12 Series so one can schedule cleaning when they’re away from home.

To further ensure that one has a clean and healthy environment, the Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 Lite can filter out 99.97% dust particles and pollen in any room. Users can also set a schedule for the air purifier’s runtime and get filter replacement reminders through the Xiaomi Home/Mi Home App.

At-home movie hangout

Make movie nights with loved ones more special by using the Mi Smart Compact Projector. It can project images at 1080p on any flat surface, ensuring the best quality possible for one’s home theater. This is best paired with the Xiaomi 12 thanks to the UFS 3.1, which delivers next-level loading speeds and data transfers; and the LPDDR5 RAM, which has memory speeds reaching up to 6,400Mbps. These features allow the smartphone to connect and showcase one’s desired movies for the perfect indoor hangout.

Leveling up your cooking skills

Prepare hearty meals like a pro with the Mi Smart Air Fryer 3.5L, which reduces fatty oil in any recipe. Beginner and experienced home cooks can also show off their dishes using the Xiaomi 12’s ultra-wide angle camera and 5MP telemacro camera that can auto-focus on any subject to get the perfect shot.

Late-night gaming

The Xiaomi 12 Series lets users play for hours with its massive cooling system, featuring an extra-large 2,600mm² VC and more than 10,000mm² of heat-dissipating graphite to ensure extra smooth and stable performance. Combined with the Mi Router, one will get faster and smoother internet connection while playing their favorite mobile games, and scrolling social media.

Anyone can have a smart home with the Xiaomi 12 Series and Xiaomi AioT products. This combo can cater to everyone’s needs, making daily life much easier to handle.

ABS-CBN and Viu, PCCW’s leading pan-regional OTT video streaming service, announced today the expansion of their partnership to adapt the hit South Korean thriller drama "Flower of Evil" in 16 markets across Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa.

It will stream simultaneously on Viu 48 hours before its domestic television broadcast.

ABS-CBN Entertainment’s Chief Operating Officer for Broadcast, Cory Vidanes, and Viu Philippines’ Country Manager, Arianne Kader-Cu, shared their excitement for the series, which will be Lovi’s first Kapamilya drama series since joining ABS-CBN, and Piolo’s first drama series after four years.

Arianne said, “Testament to our commitment to bringing the best premium Asian entertainment to Viu-ers, we are happy to work with ABS-CBN once again to bring the Philippine adaptation of 'Flower of Evil' to all of Viu’s 16 markets.

This generation of game-changers isn't afraid to defy conventions to become their most authentic, and successful selves.
