Bringing Creativity to Life

Pair the device with Huawei’s 3rd generation M-Pencil powered by NearLink technology. The handy digital pen is equipped with over 10,000 pressure sensing levels, a first in the tablet industry, improving the accuracy and seamlessness of the stylus which means minimal delay thanks to low latency, enhanced precision, and adaptive pressure. The stylus comes with two types of nibs: a transparent nib for painting and an opaque nib for note taking, catering to a variety of creative needs.

To help users accomplish the full range of their creative pursuits, Huawei has launched GoPaint Worldwide Creating Activity. This exciting initiative rewards the best artworks made with MatePad with a creation fund of up to $5,000, encouraging a wave of creatives and innovators to explore the limitless possibilities of art with Huawei’s latest products. MatePad users can use supported applications such as Mojing Paint in crafting entries. The competition is open to all from January 5 to February 29, 2024, and can be viewed on the GoPaint page.

Portable Productivity

For multi-tasking needs, the HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch also includes features like App Multiplier, and upgraded multi-window capabilities that can open 4 apps and 3 floating windows in one screen. This gives users a PC-like window interaction experience on a 13.2-inch large screen.

Huawei’s SuperHub technology allows you to store text, photos, videos and other data on the floating window so you can easily copy and paste from multiple apps or devices. No need to waste time switching between apps.

PC-Level Productivity with WPS

The HUAWEI MatePad Pro 13.2-inch is made to carry Huawei’s PC-level WPS Office, a digital software that is similar to the desktop versions of MS Office. With its PC-level interface, the WPS Office provides complete functions similar to what is being seen on desktops, and a user-friendly layout, making for a better and efficient professional office setup. Paired with the Magnetic Keyboard with touchpad, it allows for an easier time dragging, selecting, and editing content.

The Seeds of Success: The Story of Summer’s Blossom Garden

Tweet

It’s easy to fall in love with the dream of owning a flower shop. Just the thought of running a charming little store with bright and perfectly arranged blooms to brighten your work days is a romantic and picturesque notion.

But realistically, running a flower shop isn’t a decision to be taken lightly. The fragility of the merchandise, the need for constant freshness, and fluctuations in seasonal demand are just a few of the challenges florists face. And that’s when you’re running a brick-and-mortar store. One can only imagine the kind of logistical nightmare an entrepreneur might face when they decide to take the physical flower shop and run it entirely online.

The Vision Behind Summer’s Blossom Garden

Today, Summer’s Blossom Garden is a thriving business, best known for its beautiful orchids and for making them conveniently accessible online. But reaching this point was no small feat; it was a journey marked by resilience, strategic decisions, and a partnership that fortified the foundation of this venture.

Sheila and Crisanto Abasola, founders of Summer’s Blossom Garden

Sheila Mae Abasola, the entrepreneur behind this brand, has always been drawn to the delicate beauty of orchids. Her goal was clear: to share her love for these blooms with others. What began as a modest setup during the pandemic quickly grew into a booming online store.

The Challenges and a Guiding Hand

Running an online flower shop comes with a unique set of challenges. Concerns over maintaining the quality of blooms during transit, ensuring timely deliveries, and managing customer expectations are all magnified when operating digitally.

Sheila navigated these challenges well enough, but it was through the support of her partner, Crisanto Abasola Jr., that she was able to reach new heights in her online business. Crisanto, often working behind the scenes, became the unsung hero of Summer’s Blossom Garden, resolving many of the logistical complexities that come with running an online flower shop. His keen sense of timing, understanding of careful packaging, and route optimization were as essential as the blooms themselves. Without fanfare, Crisanto's contributions enabled Sheila to focus on the quality and artistry of her orchids, knowing the logistics side of the business was in capable hands.

The Game-Changer

Sheila and Crisanto's commitment to their budding flower business was unwavering, but they knew they needed a catalyst to truly elevate their operational capabilities.

The partnership with LBC was that turning point.

LBC's professional handling and express delivery options mean that even the most delicate blooms arrived in pristine condition, enhancing the customer's unboxing experience.

With LBC's robust logistics and reliable pickup services, Summer’s Blossom Garden could now ensure the safe and timely delivery of their orchids, vastly improving their reach and customer satisfaction. This partnership included a suite of advanced tracking and shipping options, ensuring that each delivery could be monitored from the moment it left the greenhouse until it arrived at the customer's doorstep. LBC's professional handling and express delivery options meant that even the most delicate blooms arrived in pristine condition, enhancing the customer's unboxing experience.

Furthermore, LBC's scalable solutions meant that as Summer’s Blossom Garden's demand grew, their logistics could seamlessly expand with them, allowing for an increase in order volume without compromising on the quality of service. The flexibility and reliability of LBC's services allowed Sheila and Crisanto to innovate and expand their product offerings, secure in the knowledge that their logistics backbone was strong and capable of supporting their creative aspirations and business growth.

Galaxy S24 Series: The Ultimate Concert Phone

With the Galaxy S24 series, Samsung is setting the stage for a whole new concert experience with the ultimate concert phone, which features AI capabilities that allow you to capture and relive your epic Kpop experiences.

Anywhere on the concert grounds is a perfect view with Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Quad Tele System, with a new 5x optical zoom lens, which works with the 50MP sensor to enable optical-quality performance at zoom levels from 2x, 3x, 5x to 10x magnification thanks to Adaptive Pixel Sensor. Images also show crystal clear results at 100x with enhanced digital zoom.

Low light in stadiums? Not a problem! With upgraded Nightography capabilities, photos and videos shot on Galaxy S24 Space Zoom are brilliant in any condition, even when zoomed in. Capture more light in dim conditions with Galaxy S24 Ultra’s larger pixel size. Blur is reduced on Galaxy S24 Ultra with wider optical image stabilizer (OIS) angles and enhanced hand-shake compensation.

Fancams are more epic just like that as both front and rear cameras are equipped with Dedicated ISP Block for noise reduction, and Galaxy S24 analyzes gyro information to distinguish between the filmer’s movement and the subject’s. This allows more effective noise removal and clear videos in the dark, even from far away.

After capturing great shots of your idols, innovative Galaxy AI editing tools even enable simple edits like erase, re-compose, and remaster to make these photos even more memorable. For easier and more efficient optimizations, Edit Suggestion uses Galaxy AI to suggest perfectly suitable tweaks for each photo. Meanwhile Generative Edit can fill in parts of an image background with generative AI. You can also remove objects or people or adjust crooked photos and AI will fill in the borders and missing pixels to perfectly blend the background in its original spot.

The fun doesn’t stop at the end of the night. Relive and replay every moment with visuals that are more vibrant and captivating on the brightest Galaxy display ever. Galaxy S24 reaches 2,600nit peak brightness and delivers improved outdoor visibility with Vision Booster making viewing experience on the Galaxy S24+’s 6.7-inch and Galaxy S24’s 6.2-inch displays even better.

All this in a super stylish package perfect for your concert outfits as the Galaxy S24 series comes in Earth mineral-inspired color tone.
