Summer is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning for excursions and activities to make the most of the season. Of course, a memorable summer day wouldn’t be complete without good music and good company. Check out these ideas that will make this summer more memorable.

Host a Movie Night

For an epic movie night, all you need is a powerful speaker, a projector, a movie, and good company. Set up your screen and projector in your living room, your backyard, or on the rooftop, and have a great time! Amplify your movie marathon with family and friends with a fantastic sound device that gives you the full theater experience while you watch your favorite films.

Take your Sound Device Poolside

Summer would not be complete without a day spent by the pool. Bring your speakers along to play music while you enjoy soaking up the sun and enjoying the water. Just make sure your speaker is water-resistant and has a long-lasting battery so you do not have to press pause on the party to plug it in

Organize a Dance Party

Nothing says summer like having your friends over for a summer dance party! Set up your speaker and create a playlist of your favorite songs to get everyone moving. Best to choose a speaker that is capable of turning up the party all over the place. Plus points if you choose one that can hype up the party with party lights!

Spice up the Summer with a Workout Session

Keep things interesting when it comes to your fitness regimen and use your speaker for outdoor workout sessions! Find your center by practicing yoga in the park to relaxing music, or break a sweat by doing some dance cardio, wherever you are. Getting that hot, summer body is even more fun when paired with your favorite music.

Camp Out and be with Nature

There’s nothing like being in nature so this summer, why not go camping? Cue up your squad’s playlist while pitching your tents, gathering around the bonfire, and gazing up at the stars. Just make sure you pack a sound device that has a built-in and long-lasting battery life.

No matter what you choose to do, having a well-rounded speaker can make your summer activities more enjoyable and memorable. Something that the Samsung Sound Tower ST50B delivers!

Ramen Nagi has something new for you!

Any bowl of hot, authentic ramen from Ramen Nagi is always a treat, but the ramen chain just keeps on giving us new flavors to rave about.

Ramen Nagi has given us innovative ramen bowls such as the Tom Yum King, the Crab King, and who could forget the Unbelievable Niboshi King? Ramen Nagi has been creating new hot bowls of ramen and partnering it with flavors we’ve only dreamed about.

This time around, Ramen Nagi has partnered with Bolzico Beef to create another king-worthy bowl of ramen - the Bolzico Sukiyaki King.

A medley of both Japanese and Argentinian flavors, the Bolzico Beef Sukiyaki is an ode to a classic Japanese dish - the sukiyaki. In Japan, sukiyaki is a type of nabemono or hot pot dish and best served piping hot with a side of white rice. Definitely a staple of Japanese cuisine!

The Bolzico Sukiyaki King is a guaranteed treat—a hot steaming bowl of freshly-made noodles in their signature tonkotsu broth mixed with a special sukiyaki sauce. This is topped with thinly-sliced tender strips of Bolzico beef, soft cubes of melt-in-your-mouth tofu, leeks, an egg yolk for some richness, and fire sauce for a touch of heat. Definitely a hot bowl of ramen fit for a king!

It is truly a hearty meal that offers a medley of flavors and beef that simply melts in your mouth. This special treat will only be available for a limited time!

Head to your nearest Ramen Nagi branch to taste their new and innovative Bolzico Sukiyaki King from March 1 - 31, 2023.

The Bolzico Sukiyaki King is available for dine-in and delivery through your app of choice - Grab, FoodPanda, Pickaroo, and ToktokFood.

The Secret to Jaw-Dropping Mobile Photography of Xiaomi 13 Series: Lighting and Sensor Size

Tweet

Discover the power of the 1-inch sensor and Leica-powered camera system of Xiaomi 13 Series

How do you take Instagram-worthy photos?

While large megapixel counts are now quite popular in cameras, light plays a major role in capturing those great photos. More light means better-looking pictures.

More Light, Better Photos

This is very true with the new Xiaomi 13 Series, which boasts of a massive 1-inch sensor that captures more light and delivers superior exposure balance, dynamic range, and sharpness for your images.

Natural light is usually the most flattering, so look for sunlight streaming in from windows or snap photos during the golden hour (shortly after sunrise or before sunset). Avoid taking photos during the midday sun because it can create unflattering shadows and washed-out colors.

Artificial lighting can also work wonders. Experiment with different types of indoor lighting, like lamps and candles, to create a cozy ambiance and achieve creative effects. Avoid relying too much on the flash as it can make your photos look harsh and unflattering.

Take your mobile photography to the next level with the phone with the biggest sensor.

Crisp Shots Even on The Go

Couple a powerful sensor with image stabilization and you get smooth, crisp shots, even when shooting kids or even pets while at play.

The Xiaomi 13 Series features a massive 1-inch sensor, co-engineered with legendary camera brand Leica. Coming in two main variants, the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro, the series takes mobile photography to the next level.

A Masterpiece in All Lighting Conditions

The Xiaomi 13 Pro's camera system is an engineering masterpiece. With a 1-inch, 50-megapixel Sony IMX989 sensor, 50MP wide-angle lens, and 50MP telephoto lens, this phone's camera is built to capture every moment in stunning detail and in all lighting conditions.

Just as awesome, the Xiaomi 13’s camera setup boasts of a 50MP main camera, a 10MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera, this smartphone delivers stunning and dynamic shots that capture every detail.

At the heart of the Xiaomi 13 series is the Leica True Color Imaging, which allows for more accurate color reproduction in photos, resulting in more lifelike and natural-looking images. Scenes of everyday life are captured in stunning details as if taken with professional cameras.

A 75mm Telephoto Lens

An exciting feature of the Xiaomi 13 series is its 75mm telephoto lens with floating element technology. This lens allows you to easily capture distant objects with exceptional zoom capabilities while maintaining sharpness and clarity across all focal lengths. Whether you're at a concert, sports game, or just trying to capture a beautiful landscape, this telephoto lens will help you get the shot you want.

In addition to the telephoto lens, the Xiaomi 13 series also offers two distinct photographic styles – Leica Authentic Look and Leica Vibrant Look. The "Authentic" style focuses on natural color reproduction, well-drawn shadows, and excellent reproduction of fine details. In contrast, the "Vibrant" style enables you to capture the moment’s emotion in vivid yet realistic colors. With these two styles, you can choose the one that best suits your personal taste and the mood of the moment.

Filters Complete the Leica Experience

To complete the end-to-end Leica experience, Xiaomi also added new Leica filters for greater personalization, Leica watermarks for that signature Leica finish, and the classic Leica shutter sound caps it off.  With the Xiaomi 13 Series, you'll be inspired to create your very own photographic masterpieces.
