realme 12 5G: The latest device under the realme 12 Series is arriving in the PH on April 25

Tweet

Following the successful launch of the realme 12 Pro+ 5G and realme 12+ 5G, realme Philippines is now set to introduce the newest addition to the realme 12 Series 5G on April 25: the realme 12 5G.

The latest model of the realme Number Series boasts a competitive camera and a stylish design, which is renowned for this series. It also incorporated elements of the luxury watch design introduced in the earlier realme 12 Series 5G models.

This time, the realme 12 5G goes beyond just capturing photos. The device is designed to be a storyteller, combining its camera quality and overall feature set to enable users to create and share stories easily. It's an excellent tool for users to explore new narratives behind the photos they capture.

The realme 12 5G is a versatile device that appeals to individuals with different interests and preferences. Find out why it’s an excellent choice for people who consider their devices an extension of their personality and creativity:

1. The high-resolution camera is best for storytellers

realme dedicates its flagship camera technology to the realme Number Series, making it a perfect fit for mobile photographers and videographers who enjoy using smartphone cameras for their storytelling.

The realme 12 5G has a 108MP 3x Zoom Portrait Camera that allows users to take stunning photos even in low-light settings. This is possible using the high-level HM6 Sensor, which captures ample light in every shot.

As a sweet treat for film buffs, the camera also has built-in Portrait Master Filters that can enhance the look of photos and videos. Co-developed by award-winning cinematographer, Claudio Miranda, these filters are Journey, Memory, and Maverick, which have varying tones and colors to produce cinematic visuals in every shot.

2. The aesthetics are match-made for Gen Zs

Style and design are essential for yuppies and Gen Zs when choosing smartphones. Thankfully, the realme 12 Series 5G stands out with its beautiful design. The realme 12 5G is available in two gorgeous new colors: Twilight Purple and Woodland Green.

Twilight Purple is a whimsical shade of lavender with a soft tone, while Woodland Green has a deeper tone of green reminiscent of nature and lush forests. Both add a pop of color to the device and the finish is glossy and iridescent, without being susceptible to fingerprint smudges.

Whether the vibe is relaxed or energetic, light or dark, minimalist or maximalist, the realme 12 5G colors are perfect for those looking for a stylish phone that can match their everyday aesthetic and personality.

The design is also composed of three main elements: the eye-catching Polished Sunburst Dial acting as the bed of the camera module that gives a classic sunburst effect; the Polished PVD Edges framing the slim and sleek body of the device, and the diamond-patterned 3D Jubilee Bracelet which subtly ties the whole look together.

3. All-around performance for career-driven millennials

Millennials opt for devices with all-rounder features that work together to maximize productivity. The realme 12 5G has all the essentials, including a fast-charging 45W SUPERVOOC Charge with a 5000mAh Massive Battery that reaches full battery capacity in just over an hour, plus a highly efficient MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor.

However, the little things make the realme 12 5G convenient and practical because it has additional features that elevate the overall user experience. One unique feature is the new Riding Mode for “riding” or “traveling” scenarios. The Riding Mode prioritizes three apps: Google Maps, Music, and Google Dialer for easy UI navigation.

At the same time, the device is equipped with a 6.7” 120Hz Sunlight Display with three-for-one functions: a wide FHD+ Resolution, with a high refresh rate that can reach up to 950 Nits of brightness in Sunlight Mode. The Sunlight Display feature ensures users can view the screen even under bright sunlight.

Overall, the realme 12 5G is realme’s latest device that certainly packs a punch. The realme Squad can immediately cop the device and enjoy all its exciting features once it launches, so better tune in to the online livestream launch event on April 25 on realme’s Facebook and Youtube pages.

Eduk-Aksyon : The Great Equalizer

Tweet

In a world where opportunities often favor the privileged few, Jean Henri Lhuillier, Consul General of San Marino and President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, stands as a beacon of hope for a more equitable society. His steadfast belief in the transformative power of education is embodied in his mantra, "Always Love Schooling," a testament to his conviction that education serves as the great equalizer in society.

Lhuillier's commitment to bridging the gap in the Philippines led to the inception of "San Marino Cares: Fun Learning through Eduk-Aksyon," an initiative aimed at empowering marginalized communities. Launched at A Home for the Angels, an organization dedicated to neglected children in Manila, the program offers reading and comprehension classes using an award-winning book on adoption. By equipping children with knowledge and skills, Lhuillier endeavors to break the cycle of inequality and pave the way for a brighter future.

Education, for Lhuillier, is more than just a means of acquiring knowledge; it is a catalyst for social change. Through initiatives like "San Marino Cares," he seeks to create a society where equal opportunities abound. Recognizing the widening gap between the rich and the poor, Lhuillier champions education as the cornerstone of progress, offering hope to those in marginalized communities.

"Education is the great equalizer, and through initiatives like 'San Marino Cares,' we are dedicated to empowering marginalized communities. By providing children with the tools they need to succeed, we aim to break the cycle of inequality and create a brighter future for all." - Jean Henri Lhuillier

In a country where access to quality education remains a challenge, Lhuillier's efforts are paramount. By providing children with opportunities to learn and engage, he ensures that no child is left behind. Understanding that education instills not only knowledge but also confidence, he empowers individuals to shape their own destinies.

The initiative addresses a pressing issue in the Philippines: the inequality of opportunity. As educational disparities persist, so do unequal circumstances and opportunities. Lhuillier recognizes that education is not only a fundamental human right but also a powerful tool for social mobility and change.

For many Filipino children, education represents more than just a pathway to success—it is a lifeline. By investing in education, Lhuillier invests in the future of the nation, laying the groundwork for a more just and prosperous society.

As Lhuillier continues to champion education as the great equalizer, he reminds us that every child deserves the chance to dream, to learn, and to succeed. Through his unwavering dedication and commitment, he paves the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for all.
