Filmed amidst the vibrant greenery and sparkling waters of Batangas, the natural visual treat accentuated the impressive camera capabilities of the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G. “Shooting against a windy green backdrop was a poetic experience,” said Bea Alonzo expressing how the Reno11, held against her hair, made her feel like a character in a painting. The 32MP telephoto lens, a standout feature of the phone, is lauded for its ability to capture these moments perfectly, adding a magical touch to the visuals.

The OPPO Reno11 Series 5G debuts as the latest Reno series offering from OPPO, inspired by nature as reflected in the phone’s design with the hues of Pearl White and Wave Green.

Rooted in the elegance of pearl white and the vibrancy of wave green, the phone’s design philosophy sets the stage for a visual masterpiece to capture the essence of the natural world. As seen in the video, scenes outdoors are presented, echoing the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G's deliberate integration of natural textures into its design. “Holding the Reno11 Pro 5G while walking on the beach, it felt like I was an explorer uncovering the secrets of pearl white.” Nadine excitedly shares.

The telephoto lens emerges as a signature weapon, capturing a moment within a moment. Bea emphasizes how the lens enhances the vividness of every performance, particularly in capturing interactions with the green scenery of nature. She also shared how the phone captured every subtle movement without disrupting her natural state, allowing the photographer to frame every smile and gaze, revealing her raw, standout emotion.

For Nadine, the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G is a game-changer, blending harmoniously with its surroundings, creating a magical and unforgettable feeling. To beautifully sum it up, it all goes back to embodying the Reno11 Series 5G's design philosophy – to stand out and make every portrait an extraordinary expression of an individual’s most natural and authentic self captured in the frame.

How Your Designer Bags & Luxury Watches Can Fund Your Dreams

Nothing quite makes a statement like luxury items. Designer bags and luxury watches, in particular, can signal to the world that you've achieved a certain level of success and sophistication. But what if these high-end items could do more than just make you look good? What if they could actually fund your dreams?

It's possible, and here's how:

How to Understand the Value of Your Luxury Items

Designer bags and luxury watches are often seen as status symbols, but can also be seen as investments. These items retain their value over time and, in some cases, even increase in value.

The value of designer bags and luxury watches is determined by a range of factors. First, the brand plays a significant role in determining the value. Renowned luxury brands like Rolex, Cartier, Hermès, and Chanel typically hold their value well over time. The item's condition is also paramount — items in excellent condition, preferably with original packaging and certifications, are likely to fetch a higher price. Limited edition pieces or those with historical significance can also command high value due to their rarity.

But even mid-range designer bags and watches like Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and Fossil can retain a good portion of their value. This means that even if you decide to sell these items after a few years of use, you can still recoup a significant amount of your initial investment.

How to Turn Luxury Items into Cash (Without Selling Them)

You don't have to sell your treasures to reap the benefits of their value. Instead, you can pawn them for cash. This allows you to keep ownership of your beloved items while still being able to access the funds you need.

Many pawnshops specialize in providing loans against designer bags and watches. These shops have expert appraisers who can determine the value of your item, and then offer you a loan based on that value. The best part is that you'll still get to keep your item while using its value to fund your dreams.

How to Choose the Right Pawnshop for Your Luxury Items

When choosing a pawnshop, look for competitive interest rates, convenience, and security. Pawnhero, the Philippines' first BSP-regulated online pawnshop, ticks all those boxes.  With interest rates as low as 3.5%, a hassle-free online process, and secure storage for your items, Pawnhero makes it easy to turn your designer bags and luxury watches into cash.

How does pawning with Pawnhero work?  Simply upload photos of your luxury item and complete a form on their website. Then, you'll receive an initial appraisal and loan offer. If you're satisfied with the amount, you can schedule a free pickup or drop-off for your item for further authentication and appraisal. Once finalized, the funds will be transferred to your bank account.

So, what can you do with the money from pawning your luxury items? The possibilities are endless! You can use it to fund your education, invest in a business, or even take that dream vacation you've always wanted. With Pawnhero, your luxury items can genuinely become the key to unlocking your dreams. So why let them gather dust in your closet when they could fund your future?  Keep dreaming big, and let Pawnhero help make those dreams a reality.

Justin Timberlake new single and video “Selfish”



Multi-award-winning artist Justin Timberlake releases his new single “Selfish” alongside the music video via RCA Records/Sony Music Entertainment.
