Samsung welcomes Liza Soberano as the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G ambassador

Tweet

Liza Soberano celebrates her 10th year in showbiz this 2021. Her decade-long career as an award-winning actress is marked by many highs: she is one half of a bankable love team, is continuously praised for her beauty, and has a string of film and TV hits. A recent achievement is voicing the titular character in Trese, Netflix’s first Philippine anime series adapted from the prize-winning local comic book.

The accolades keep coming but Soberano makes it look easy, as she always appears confident, graceful, and stylish. She is unafraid to express herself on social media and speak up on her many passions.

Soberano is a long-term #TeamGalaxy ambassador and she returns to campaign for the tech brand’s newest smartphone offering. She embodies the sophisticated characteristics of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, the latest offering in the portfolio of innovative and premium foldable smartphones. The compact device can fit in the pocket or a small purse and can be flipped open to reveal a full-screen 5G-capable smartphone.

“I like how it’s so portable. It’s light enough to put in my pocket so I don’t have to carry a lot of things when I go out for tapings, shoots, and errands. The fun colors also reflect my personality and style,” she says.

Elevating the look

As a fashion icon that Vogue called a “style star to watch,” Soberano is always chicly dressed. Her wardrobe has been described as youthful, cool, and with understated elegance.

The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s array of contemporary color options can keep up with her ensemble. It is available in classic hues such as Phantom Black and Cream, and trendier ones like Green and Lavender.

For Soberano, she chooses to finish her look with the Cream variant. She says, “it’s versatile enough to be paired with casual clothes, and it adds a personal touch when I want to dress up. It even looks like an accessory.”

A unique experience

The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s form factor offers a one-of-a-kind experience when capturing photos and videos. With the smartphone, Soberano can shoot from various angles and share them with her 16 million followers on Instagram and 4.5 million on Twitter.

She can prop it up like a laptop and use simple motions to take photos. When closed, the smartphone’s cover screen can also snap high-quality selfies.

“I love sharing my life on social media and I’m excited to show everyone different sides of me with my new Galaxy smartphone. Each photo looks unique depending on the angle of the camera so I want to see how I’ll do as a content creator,” Soberano shares.

Powerful performance

The young actress is one of the most in-demand in the industry so she needs a device that can keep up with her busy lifestyle.

Soberano can quickly check app notifications and calendar schedules on the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s new, large cover screen. She can tap a notification on the cover screen and watch as the app opens when the device is unfolded. It can display two apps at the same time so the actress can watch her favorite K-dramas on one side while reading emails on the other.

Soberano also finds the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s capabilities useful for her professional and personal life. She says, “The super fast internet means I can stay on top of all my work commitments. It’s been helpful for my days off, too. I can stream movies and shows in my free time, and have video calls with friends and family.”
