The much-anticipated realme 13 Pro Series 5G stirred excitement for fans as it features realme’s first-ever Ultra Clear Camera with AI. This technology marries next-gen camera innovations with stunning designs to empower young users to capture the world in a whole new way.

Known for its legacy of integrating popular culture into innovative designs, such as the realme 10 Pro 5G Coca-Cola® Edition, the GT NEO 3T Dragon Ball Z Edition, and the GT NEO 3 Naruto Edition, realme collaborates with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) this time for the realme 13 Pro Series 5G. The partnership aims to bring inspiration from one of the legendary masters of Impressionism, Claude Monet, to the realme 13 Pro Series.

The collaboration is said to be the first of its kind in the smartphone industry, combining unique elements from Monet's iconic works enhanced with a state-of-the-art flash gold process to create a premium aesthetic appearance. Drawing inspiration from Monet’s depictions of nature and beauty, the design of the realme 13 Pro Series 5G reflects the stunning play of light and color found in two of his masterpieces: Grainstack (Sunset) and Water Lilies. The golden haystacks and purple water lilies in these paintings were transformed into two exclusive color variants, Monet Gold and Monet Purple.

The realme 13 Pro Series 5G launch reaffirms the brand’s focus on providing the Squad with immersive experiences through Ultra Clear Camera with AI and standout design. Stay tuned on realme’s official Facebook page for the realme 13 Pro Series 5G launch announcement..

Tips to take best portraits using entry-level camera phone, vivo Y18

Tweet

For Gen Z and Millennials, social media isn't just a platform — it's a vibrant, digital mural where they display their unique stories and interests. This artistic flair often takes the shape of chic snapshots that are then shared on Instagram and Facebook.

Having amazing portraits is a vital element of a user’s photo archive, given that social media is deeply embedded in the daily routines of these two generations and sharing amazing photos has become a common form of communication.

However, achieving the perfect shot can sometimes be a frustrating endeavor. For the most part, crafting a masterpiece, often termed ‘aesthetic’ by Pinoys, demands considerable effort and careful creative decisions.

Tangled up in this kind of hassle? Below are the fun tips to level up your photography game with the entry-level camera phone, vivo Y18!

1. Find your best light

Head outdoors and have a blast shooting your portraits, utilizing the rays of the sun to achieve that flawless beauty shot. Pro tip: maximize the golden hour which offers a natural filter!

For indoor shoots, ensure the lighting is strategically positioned to give you flattering shadows that work in your favor. Play with your light setup to achieve the Paramount Effect which gives you instant sharp jaws!

2. Serve your best angle

Practicing your poses is a simple but effective trick. Highlight your most flattering features and showcase them effectively while posing for photos.

Which is better, your left side or your right side? Try experimenting with different camera angles by positioning it slightly higher for a rather slimming look.

Mastering your poses can be a lengthy process, no doubt! But the vivo Y18’s 5000mAh all-day battery & 15W fast charging keeps you going the whole way.

3. Give depth to your portraits

Zooming in too closely can result in a grainy and pixelated picture! Instead, position yourself closer to the subject to achieve a higher-quality image.

With vivo Y18's 50MP HD Camera, users are able to achieve studio-level portraits, without the steep price tag!

Tap on 'Portrait' mode to make your subject appear sharper and more detailed, similar to that of a DSLR.

This is perfect for those wanting a new standout photo or fresh content for their feed updates!

The vivo Y18 is available at vivo concept stores and kiosks nationwide for as low as Php 6,499. It comes in two stylish colors: Mocha Brown and Wave Acqua. For added convenience, you can also purchase it online through the vivo website, Shopee, TikTok, and Lazada!
