As much as I want to not introduce my son to gadgets, let's face it, there's no way we can escape. They see us and other children using phones or iPads/tablets, thus they would also want one. Our little boy now 2 years old has a Chery Mobile phone for his offline youtube videos. We don't want him to go online even if its youtube kids because he wants to watch all of the videos non-stop. At least with offline he only has a few and will get tired of it, then he stops and plays with his toys again.

I stumbled upon a Facebook post of a mom sharing her story of what happened to her child because of the excessive use of gadgets. Take your time to read and learn something out of their experience.

FYI: I asked permission for this to be posted

Share ko lng po nangyari sa amin.. mahaba po ito pero sana ay basahin po ninyo lalo na po kung may mga anak kyo...

Ako po si Maricon Molvizar, 34 yo. Isang Momtrepreneur.. may 2 anak.. ang panganay ko ay lalake, 15yo  Grade 10 at si Mikayla na Grade 2.. ito po ang aming istorya:

Nung june 27, around 10:30-11pm, naglilinis ako ng sala nmin at narinig na tumitili si mikayla na parang nakakita ng ipis.. tinanong ko kng anong nangyayari at dahil alam kong allergic cya sa ipis kya tumayo ako at mag susuot ng slippers pero bago ko pa maisuot ay sumigaw na tlga cya at tinawag ang pangalan ko kya napatakbo ako agad dahil hindi na normal ang pag tawag nya sa akin.. pag dating ko sa pintuan ng kwarto namin, nakita ko si mikayla na nasa lapag, nangingisay at nka hubo’t hubad (dahil naligo cya). Hinawakan ko kaagad ang ulo nya para i-check kung may bukol ba or may sugat, thank God wla.. tiningnan ko ung lapag kung may bakas ng pagkadulas nya kc naligo nga cya nun.. wla nman.. kya pinaupo ko cya sa lapag dahil nangingisay prn cya ng bahagya.. tinanong ko kung anong nangyari, ang sagot nya lng sa akin “mommy, d ko ma move ung (left) arm ko!” medyo nag hi-hysterical na ako kasi first time nangyari sa kanya un at hindi ko alam kng anong gagawin ko kya pinatayo ko cya para pumunta ng kama pero bumagsak cya na hawak ko kaya binuhat ko agad cya papuntang kama.. sa kama habang kandong ko cya, paulit-ulit kong tinatanong kung ano ba talagang nangyari? Bkt d pa cya bihis? Kung may masakit ba sa katawan nya? Kung ano bang nararamdaman nya? Sunud-sunod ang tanong ko dhl kinakabahan na ako pero ang tanging sagot nya sa akin, “mommy, ayaw talaga mag move ng arm ko.. look mo parang jelly na cya!” napansin ko na tabingi ung right lips nya at bulol mag salita si mikayla, eh hindi nman cya bulol kung mag salita.. pinatawag ko sa panganay ko ung kapatid ko na nsa kabilang bahay lang.. tinanong nya ng maayos si mikayla kng anong nararamdaman at kung saan may masakit na parte ng katawan nya.. pero un pa rin ang sagot ni mikayla.. tiningnan ng kapatid ko ung arm ni mikayla pero no response, pinamove nmin ung fingers pero d kayang i-fold ni mikayla kaya minasahe ng kapatid ko.. after few minutes, nagagalaw na unti-unti ni mikayla ang fingers nya at naka-recover na dn.. tinanong nmin cya ulit kung ano bang nangyari sknya.. ang kwento nya after dw nyang maligo, binuhay nya ung tv tapos pinag tripan nya ung hikaw nya na itusok sa putol na crayon tpos na feel na lng dw nya na nag shake ung left hand nya tapos nakaramdam dw cya ng pagkahilo.. kaya siguro ung pag sigaw nya ng una ay na feel nyang nag shake na ung hand nya tpos lalabas na sna cya ng kwarto para puntahan ako kaso inabutan na cya ng pagkahilo sa pinto ng kwarto nmin.. iniisip ko bka na stroke na ung anak ko kaso bkt nakakagalaw prn cya at bkt left part ng body nya ung paralize pro right lip ang tumabingi? kya sinabihan ako ng kapatid ko na ipa-check up para malaman ang dahilan..

Around 12:30am, june 28, after kong ipaalam sa husband ko at parents ko ang ngyri kay mikayla ay dinala na nmin ng isa ko pang kapatid sa ospital.. dun na tumagpo ang asawa ko dahil galing sa trabaho.. sa loob ng ER ay in-interview kmi, good thing isang nurse sa ER ng ospital na un ang kapatid ko.. hindi matukoy ng residing doctor ang reasons kng bakit nag seizure si mikayla kaya pina CT scan at xray na muna nya para malaman kung nabalian or nabagok ba ang ulo ni mikayla sa pagkakabagsak.. sinabihan nya dn kami na kailangan ma-confine si mikayla for further check up ng pedia at mdyo critical kung uuwi kmi agad dhl bka maulit ulit ang seizure.. at 8:30am, nakausap nmin ang PEDIA at sinabing mukhang ok na si mikayla dahil makulit na ulit but just to make sure ay mg re-refer cya ng NEURO PEDIA para malaman nmin ang cause ng seizure.. 11am, dumating ang neuro pedia. Chineck si mikayla, nag bigay ng physical tests tapos sinabihan kami na nid ng EEG at MRI dhl nag suffer si mikayla sa FOCAL SEIZURE.. inalam nmin ang naging cause, d nya masagot ng maayos kng bkt na-trigger dhl wala pang EEG at MRI pero mostly the reason is EXCESSIVE USE OF GADGETS..

Yes, excessive use of gadgets.. kasi simula nung nag bakasyon last march 2017, wala ng ibang inatupag si mikayla kundi ang ipad nya or watch tv.. bkt ko hinayaan? Kasi isa akong MOMTREPRENEUR, ang line of business ko ay crafting, so need ko ng super amount of time na matapos ko ang isang project/orders ko para sa client na may deadline.. wala po kaming katulong sa bahay, kami lng 3 mag-iina ang laging nasa bahay, wla dn po akong katulong sa craftings ko kya para hindi ako maistorbo ay hinayaan ko cya gumamit ng ipad.. is it my fault? Partly yes! Kasi nakakausap ko lng cya pg katapos kong mag luto ng food at tuwing kakain kami.. papasok lng ako sa kwarto para paliguin ko cya.. makakatabi ko lng cya pag napagod ako sa ginagawa ko tpos balik trabaho na ulit ako.. mas nabigyan ko ng oras ang projects ko kaya na neglect ko si Mikayla at hinayaan ko gumamit ng ipad kasi alam kong wla nman mngyayari sa kanya ng dahil lng sa ipad dhl most of the time ay either nakaupo or nakahiga lng sa kama.. at para na rin hindi nya ako gambalain sa ginagawa ko..

Now, back to Mikaylas case.. after CT scan, X-ray, EEG at MRI, all result are negative.. ALMOST normal.. why almost normal? Kc sa EEG result nya ay nakitang mabagal ang right brain reaction sa isang part ng test na may flickering lights, sbi kc baka dahil nga nung nakaraang gabi na nag seizure cya.. at sa MRI nya ay may nakitang ugat na parang nag photo bomber lang kya ni-refer nman kami sa isang NEUROSURGEON.. after reviewing the MRI result, sbi smn ng neurosurgeon ay normal veins lng cya and nothing to worry.. kasi as per mikaylas neuro pedia, ang face natin ay symmetrical na pag hinati sa gitna ang mukha natin ay parehas na may tig isang mata at tenga, kalahating ilong at bibig.. ung ugat na nakita sa MRI ay parang nunal sa mukha.. or kya siguro lumabas dw un ay dahil inatake ulit si mikayla ng mild seizure before ng MRI test nya kya bka fresh pa masyado ung brain reaction kya lumitaw un... we still dont know yet kya may follow-up MRI pa kmi after 2 weeks..
June 30, 8pm.. nakalabas na kmi ng ospital.. dala ang mga medicines at maintenance ni mikayla.. our neuro pedia advice us na maximum of 2hrs A DAY lang tlga dapat ang pag gamit ng gadgets ng mga bata at iwas puyat para maiwasan ang ganitong sakit..

mikayla is still a normal child, makulit, madaldal but makakaranas prn ng twitching from time to time dhl un ang reaction na ng brain nya.. ung maintenance nyang gamot ay para maiwasan ang seizure.. sa totoo lang po malusog ang anak ko kahit allergic cya sa madaming bagay.. lahat ng nakakakilala sa anak ko ay talagang nagulat kng bkt nagkasakit si mikayla ng ganun.. kya nga po ako nag post ay para maiwasan nyo ito dahil sa totoo lang nakakatakot ang pangyayari, idagdag nyo pa ang gagastusin nyo. Ang sakit na focal seizure ay hindi po nakakahawa na pag hinawakan mo ang isang taong nag se-seizure ay pati ikaw ay mg seizure dn, hindi po totoo un.. para po maiwasan natin sa mga anak natin ang ganitong klaseng sakit at i-minimal use natin sila sa mga gadgets, tv or computer at pagpupuyat.. hindi ko din po sinasabi sa post kong ito na kung ang anak ko ay nagka seizure ay mrn dn ang anak nyo.. ang sa akin lng po ay iwasan natin silang gumamit ng matagalan ng mga gadgets.. ito po ay para sa kalusugan ng ating mga anak at para na dn po sa ating mga bulsa dahil hindi po biro ang gastusin pag naospital.

Early signs? yes mrn po.. First week of june, kinakausap ko si mikayla at inutusan kong tumingin skn.. sagot nya nka tingin na dw cya pero nakikita kong parang nabanlag cya.. left eye nakatingin skn tapos ung right eye d skn nkatingin.. isa na dw un sa symptoms.. minsan kumakain kmi tpos parang na spaced-out cya, then nung tinawag ko cya parang nagulat pa cya kng anong ngyri.. akala ko arte na lng pero isa na dn pla un sa symptoms ng focal seizure.. minsan pag nag ku-kwentuhan kami sbi nya parang na lost na dw memory nya kc d nya talaga maalala.. to think na nung isang araw lng ngyri un.. ako nman kala ko arte nya lng ulit un kasi nga bata eh.. bka sadyang umaarte na pero mali pla ako dahil lahat ng signs na nakita ko noon at d ko binigyang pansin ay hindi ko akalain na mga symptoms na pla un ng focal seizure.. KASI HINDI KO ALAM! Kya po ngayon ay ibinabahagi ko snyo kaya dapat each parent should be aware of their child, kahit po gaano tyo ka-busy.. hinayaan ko si mikayla mg ipad para d nya ako maistorbo.. mostly sa atin (aminin nyo man o hindi) ay binibigay ntn sa mga anak natin ang mga gadgets pra d tyo kulitin, guluhin o istorbohin sa ginagawa natin.. tyo nga pag nasobrahan tyo sa pag facebook or computer eh sumasakit ulo natin.. how much more pa kya mga bata? hindi ko nga alam na pde pla magkaroon ng ganitong sakin ang anak ko eh, kasi hindi ako aware na pde pla..

Kung may katanungan po kyo about sa focal seizure, eto po ang link..
Salamat po na matyaga nyong pagbabasa and sana d nyo po ito maranasan.

Selfies bring out the best in you, experts say.

Whether it’s an artistic shot, a glam pic, or a duckface, the selfie is a way of celebrating different aspects of “who you are.”

Various studies have linked the selfie with self-obsession. But Dr. Pamela Rutledge, director of the Media Psychology Research Center, pointed out in her column for Psychology Today that “in spite of the wealth of negative headlines, there are several reasons for selfies that have nothing to do with narcissism.”

“Selfies offer the opportunities to show facets of yourself, such as the artsy side, the silly side, or the glamorous side,” Rutledge said.

“By offering different aspects through images, we are sharing more of ourselves, becoming more authentic and transparent—things encouraged by digital connectivity,” she added.

Instagram has over 260 million #selfies to date. An average millennial spends more than an hour each week to snap selfies and may take up to around 25,700 selfies during their lifetime, a 2015 study by Frames Direct and Now Sourcing, showed.

OPPO Philippines recently conducted an online survey among 6,000 Filipinos and found that 48 percent take two to five selfies a day. Makati City, the country’s business hub, has been dubbed by Time magazine as the “selfie capital of the world.”

‘Exploration and identity experimentation’

Stephen Cheng, OPPO Philippines’ brand marketing manager, said, “Camera-focused phones like the F1 and F1 Plus have made it easier to take great photos of oneself. Gone are the days when you need to go to a studio to have your self-portrait taken by a professional photographer.”

Rutledge said new technology has made “selfie-ing easy. All you need is a camera phone and a Facebook page or Instagram app.”

“This makes [the selfie] ripe for exploration and identity experimentation, particularly among ages where identity formation and emancipation are key developmental milestones as well as for those who are just interested in looking at themselves,” she added.

Defining one’s identity is a human pursuit. Since the Ancient Greeks, people have been observing themselves to gain a sense of self, she added.

Dr Mariann Hardey, a lecturer in marketing at Durham University, said in an article on The Guardian, "The selfie is revolutionizing how we gather autobiographical information about ourselves and our friends."

"It's about continuously rewriting yourself. It's an extension of our natural construction of self. It's about presenting yourself in the best way … [like] when women put on makeup or men who bodybuild to look a certain way: it's an aspect of performance that's about knowing yourself and being vulnerable," Hardey added.

Pride and Selfie
According to a 2014 survey conducted by AOL.com and the TODAY Show, social media, especially for teen girls, was a tool to “put themselves in the best light.”

The study found that 65 percent of teen girls and 41 percent of adult women “feel more confident” when they see selfies and other flattering photos of themselves.

Posting selfies on social media allow users to gauge others' perceptions through comments and likes. Rutledge said, “One of the most effective ways to know yourself is to see yourself as others see you.”

Selfie, however, is not all about presenting one’s “best self” but also one’s quirks and flaws.

Wendy Wick Reaves, curator of prints and drawings at the National Portrait Gallery in London, said in a previous article, “Even with ‘ugly selfies,’ you’re exhibiting pride in your sense of humor…It’s not that different from showing yourself in a new bikini. You’re still sharing something you’re proud of.”

Cheng said, “OPPO sees the value of selfie. We have developed photo-centric smartphones such as the F1 and F1 Plus that enables people to be build their sense of self and empower themselves through high-quality selfies.”

“OPPO has established itself as the ‘selfie expert’ and a leader in smartphone photography. Research indicates a strong consumer recognition that ‘OPPO shoots great,’” he said.

Flash has finally responded to its users’ concerns by offering a smartphone that surpasses user convenience, sound effects and battery usage. According to Albert Wong, General Manager of Flash 3C Limited, the continuous innovation of the Flash series marks the brand’s independence.

“The independence of the Flash brand means we have entered a complete new stage of development. What remains unchanged is that we will consistently follow the mission of Flash at its birth and stay connected with the young Internet consumers who enjoy sharing and pursue quality. We will get to know their specific needs through continuous interaction to create high quality smart hardware that is fun and enjoyable, offering the users a lifestyle of seeking our true selves,” Wong said.

A Craft of Quality Workmanship
In order to create better feel of texture for appearance, Flash Plus 2 adopts a metal framework for the phone that allows it to possess the unique glow and touch of metal through quality workmanship while retaining its sleek and sophisticated aesthetics. The forge and grinding of the back of the phone case went through an array of complex processes ranging from horizontal wire-drawing, high-speed side sand-blasting, ultralight rim diamond cutting, and twice anodization.

In complying with the ethos of tending to detail, the all-new Flash Plus 2 adopts diamond cutting and twice anodic oxidation technologies for the 0.4mm rim of the Home key, for the 0.15mm sound volume key, and for the 0.4mm rim of flash lamp and speaker - each bit of this contributing to the aesthetics of smart phone body.

With the amalgamation of these processes, a new top-of-the-line smartphone is born—and it’s here to offer users a sense of warmth and vigor for the cold, hard metal work.

A Device of Efficiency and Convenience
Based on study of smart phone users’ habits, Flash Plus 2 carries a frontal fingerprint recognition function that combines the dual criteria of external aesthetics and practical convenience. The fingerprint use experience makes Flash Plus 2 a perfect assistant of life and office efficiency, ranging from accurate fast unlocking to file encryption to one-stroke APP launch.

The fingerprint recognition of Flash Plus 2 is unique in that it not only offers 0.5s unlocking under “switch off” screen status and all-round accurate recognition, but also allows for personalized APP launch options corresponding to users’ five fingerprints. For instance, users can conveniently unlock camera App through touching the fingerprint module with their forefingers, without going through any tedious procedure.

To prevent document theft and privacy leak, Flash Plus 2 provides a function of documents protection cabinet where privacy information is stored and encrypted with fingerprint, leaving users assured of their security even when the smartphone is not on their hands.

Another big edge that highlights the efficiency of Flash Plus 2 is its fast charging capability that best relieves users of battery capacity concerns. In order to ensure faster charging efficiency while maintaining safety, Flash Plus 2 carries a 3,000mAh battery group and adopts TI BQ25896 fast-charging chip and 9V/1.67A fast-charging technologies provided by Texas Instruments of the United States, which can charge battery to 50% in 30 minutes for up to a 10-hour uninterrupted call. The charging efficiency is raised by 35% compared with 5V/1A phones while it takes only 2 hours for the battery to be fully charged - the time of watching a movie or finishing a meal before the power status of your phones is fully restored.

A Fun and Excitement Camera Phone
Carrying over the optimum photographing function of the Flash brand, the new Flash Plus 2 launched a comprehensive upgrading of the two aspects of photo-taking capabilities: fast focal adjustment and dark light shooting. The users can capture sweet moments in a faster and better fashion during fleeting occasions or wonderful night scenes. For fast-moving objects, you’d be glad to know that the new Flash Plus 2 allows one-stroke fingerprint launch of camera with only 0.1s instant accurate focal adjustment through the blending of PDAF automatic focus technology and contrast focus effects.

Furthermore, Flash upgraded the power of its camera light. To ensure high-quality image effect even under low light conditions, the Flash Plus 2 is made with a 13,000-pixel rear lens with the warm double-color flash lamp RealTone that copes with nighttime or dim indoor luminous intensity. It frees users of the restraints of dim light conditions to see a perfect whole world as well.

The five million pixel front lens adopts LED flash lamp with CRI up to 80 while red spectrum is intelligently enhanced for selfie or video chatting conditions. With ruddy facial effect and glow, Flash Plus 2 offers an over 100% real-time facial enhancement function, allowing users to capture moments of beauty and beyond.

Flash is also taking your photography to the next level with the smartphone’s series of creative functions. For example, the 84.40 ultra-broad view that it carries allows users to do a selfie during family or friends gatherings. The “Picture-in-Picture” Mode allows front and rear lenses to work simultaneously to accomplish a creative photo-in-photo experience. What’s more, the Flash Plus 2 carries a Child Mode for parents to record precious moments of their kids’ childhood, which creates a noise of sheep, car horn or kitten to catch your child’s attention when the photo is being taken.
A Wonderful Experience of Enjoying Music
The incredible features of the Flash Plus 2 is not limited to aesthetics and futuristic photography alone. In fact, it carries with it a high-fidelity, quality-retaining earphone acoustics, high sound volume effects, and MIX music production function, making it a smart device for music lovers.

For single-person enjoyment, Flash Plus 2 provides independent AKM4375 audio decoding chip coupled with state-of-the-art IRD sound digital filter, with value-retaining signal output measuring up to high-fidelity acoustic effects. While the speaker is being used for playing music, the NXP980 power amplification chip and built-in DSP algorithm drives speaker power to reach 3.6W - eight times greater than the volume of average smart phones.

More Cutting-edge Features of Hardware and Software
The Flash Plus 2 features high-definition screen, powerful performance, Android M system, and dual channel turbo download, among other functions. The 5.5’ FHD multiple point touchscreen adopts OGS full cohesion technology, with ultra-clear scenes within reach of a finger touch. Meanwhile, it carries Miravision 2.0 FHD display that enables smart eye protection in too strong or weak luminous situations, providing a wonderful visual experience of perfect clearness and comfort.

Furthermore, the new smartphone’s Helio P10 processor ensures strong performance and low energy consumption in providing smooth, free “cut back” through multitasking operation of surfing the Internet, playing games, and watching videos.

As a new member of Flash brand, Flash Plus 2 continues the original Android system support while the all-new upgraded Android M operational system offers APP access control, web browsing, APP relevance, and smart energy-saving function, among others. For global Android lovers and tech geeks, it offers a streamlined, personalized user experience
.
The all-new Flash Plus 2 comes in two color options - Luna Silver and Venus Gold, providing a high-end customized choice appealing to refined taste.

Can't get over taking your selfies? Still downloading additional apps to create that perfect look for your photos? Plain black phones are boring? Worry no more because the OPPO F1 Selfie Expert is here! Read on and discover more...

Global electronics and technology service provider OPPO locally launched their first phone of the year, the OPPO F1.

Boasting an amazing front camera, the F1 has been dubbed the “Selfie Expert,” thanks to its mix of hardware and software working together to make every selfie fantastic. This was emphasized during the launch, with the event setup designed similar to that of a photography studio as guests were given free use of the F1.



Built-in Styling Team

At 8 megapixels, the OPPO F1’s front camera has an 84-degree-wide angle camera lens with f/2.0 aperture, and a ¼-inch sensor that allows 40 percent more light to enter the camera than an f/2.4 aperture lens. 

It comes with Beauty 3.0+ and eight various filters, which brighten the skin and remove blemishes, and a display that can double as flash in low-light environments. Both the camera’s hardware and software work together as if the OPPO F1 has a built-in styling team that will glam the user up in no time.

The rear camera is equally amazing, with a 13-megapixel sensor, f/2.2 aperture lens, Pure Image 2.0+ features, and a number of customizations to fit the user’s photo needs.

Exquisite Design and Reliable Performance

The first in OPPO’s new camera-focused F series, the F1, was designed with the elegant aesthetic and quality that has become the brand’s staple.

Available in two colors, Gold and Rose Gold, the F1’s design offers durability and style. The fine and delicate smoothening of zircon and sand blasting create a back cover that has a velvet-like softness despite being made of metal. The 5-inch HD screen is protected by a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass coating and aluminum housing.

Under the hood is a power-packed octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 SoC with four cores at 1.7GHz and four cores at 1.2GHz, Adreno 204 GPU, and 3GB RAM that runs OPPO’s ColorOS 2.1 as smoothly as possible. 

Below are the OPPO F1’s specifications:

Operating System: ColorOS2.1, based on Android 5.1 
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 616, Octa-core
GPU: Adreno 405
RAM: 3 GB
Storage: 16 GB (Expandable up to 128GB)
Battery Capacity: 2,500mAh
Screen Size: 5 inches
Display Type: IPS TFT
Resolution: HD (1280x720 pixels)
Rear Camera: 13-megapixel
Front Camera: 8-megapixel
SIM Card Type: Dual-SIM (micro-SIM card and nano-SIM card)

Priced at only P11,990, the F1 is available at OPPO concept stores and authorized dealers nationwide.

New Brand Endeavors for 2016

Besides the F1, OPPO Philippines also announced major partnerships with several organizations.

This year, the company is the title sponsor of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup. 

After collaborating with Home Credit last year to bring the OPPO Neo 7 to more consumers in the country, OPPO has also once again partnered with the global consumer-finance provider to offer Filipinos more options to buy the F1. From February 19 to March 31, 2016, even consumers who don’t have credit cards can purchase the new camera phone for as low as P1,299 every month for six months at 0 percent interest rate. The promo is available in 245 partner stores nationwide, in all areas serviced by Home Credit.

OPPO is likewise proud to announce that their phones will now be offered by Philippine telcos. 

For example, the F1 will be available under Smart Communications’ All-in Plan 1200. The postpaid plan is fully consumable and customizable with FlexiBundles. For prepaid users, each purchased F1unit comes with a free Smart SIM that offers a generous 50MB worth of free data every month for six months, and P150 worth of load for every P250 accumulated top up per month for six months.

The OPPO Neo 5s will also be available under Sun Cellular’s Best Value Plan 450, which includes unlimited Sun calls and texts, 250MB of data, and 250 texts to other networks.

Think OPPO Philippines is done with its surprises? You thought wrong. Three weeks after the OPPO R7 Lite’s price was slashed from P13,990 to P11,990, another popular OPPO phone is getting a markdown. The OPPO Neo 5, which was priced at P6,990, now costs only P5,990.

The Neo 5 was one of OPPO Philippines’ “New Trio” that was launched in the Philippines last year. It sports a double-layer metallic framestructure for a more compact, thin, and seamless body. Compared to a normal, single-layer metallic structure, its thinner body encompasses a tough inner core and has better heat-dissipation capabilities.

The OPPO Neo 5 features 8-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front cameras, the functions of which are extended by OPPO’s Pure Image 2.0+ platform. Imaging features such as “double exposure,” “beautify,” and “expert mode” make for a more interesting photography experience.

What makes the Neo 5 special is its reflective back cover. A unique lamination process gives it a smoother, cleaner, and more natural appearance.

Here are the OPPO Neo 5’s complete specs:
* Display: 4.5 inches
* Processor: 1.3GHz quad-core
* Resolution: 480 x 854 pixels
* RAM: 1GB
* OS: ColorOS 2.0.1i (based on Android 4.4.2)
* Storage: 4GB (expandable up to 32GB)
* Rear camera: 8-megapixel
* Front camera: 2-megapixel

* Battery capacity: 2000mAh

Have you ever wished you could watch free, cable-quality TV on the go? Now you can stop wishing because Starmobile, the country’s most innovative mobile brand, offers you a handy solution to these problems, with the launch of the country’s first ever line of digital TV phones. These mobile hybrids allow you to watch Digital TV (DTV) channels for FREE anytime and anywhere DTV services are available.

Want in on the most fun trend in mobile gadgets since the invention of the smartphone? You can choose from three models: the big-screen KNIGHT Vision, the slender UP Vision, and soon the big battery UP Max.

Starmobile’s Digital TV Phones:
The Three Mobile-TV Hybrids Made For Pinoys
Leading the pack is the KNIGHT Vision (P9,990). It comes with a quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM, an HD screen in-plane switching, which means that images look great from any angle, making it perfect for watching vids with your best bud, girlfriend or boyfriend, or crush. It comes with real-time recording technology so you never have to miss a moment in your favorite sport or drama.
Its camera is equipped with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology, which keeps your photos blur-free and sharp. A physical anti-shake mechanism will allow you to take better videos, which are sure to be great with a 13MP rear camera with Sony EXMOR technology as well as an 8MP front camera for selfie goodness.
The phone has an internal memory capacity of 16GB, though a Micro SD card slot ensures you can add up to 64GB to that. Meanwhile, there’s no need to worry that your TV viewing will result in a dead phone as the 2450mAh Lithium Polymer battery gives you up to four hours TV time, 15 hours talk time, and up to 15 days on standby mode.

The UP Vision (P5,990) has more streamlined power, but it still packs quite a punch. This digital TV phone is the slimmest and lightest phone of the bunch, which means it’ll fit like a dream into most pockets and just about any purse. It features a 1800-mAh battery that comes with up to 9 hours talk time and about 10 and a half days on standby mode. Its got a 13MP rear camera that sports an AF Sony BSI lens with a Blue Glass Filter and an 8MP front camera from Samsung.

The UP Max (P7,490) is built to outlast its older siblings thanks to its ultra-amped up 5000mAH battery, which is the largest on any smartphone currently on the market. With it you can enjoy up to 10 hours DTV time, 24 hours talk time, and a whopping 41.25 days on standby mode.
At 9.6mm—the slimmest for a phone with a 5000mAh battery--its design remains sleek and ergonomically perfect in the palm. Plus, it comes with a DTV antenna dongle which you can simply remove when you’re not watching TV.
This Android Lollipop-powered phone also comes with an enhanced user interface, better app compatibility, and improved security features, including mobile anti theft technology and data protection.
Last but not the least, the UP Max also comes with a 13MP Sony IMX 135 with EXMOR RS sensor, which means you can snap photos in low-light and have them come out like a dream.

DTV Phones: A New Take on Pinoy TV Viewing
The technology and versatility of DTV phones mark a new era in Philippine mobile functionality. Starmobile has always put the wants and needs of Pinoy mobile users first, and digital TV phones would fit well into the modern and very mobile lifestyle of today’s Filipinos.

With its souped-up line of DTV devices, Starmobile is set to affect the industry and influence the future of mobile.
Crisper, high-quality video means more emphasis on great artistry.

Any advances in the quality of video the average viewer can watch have called for the industry to update the way they do things, from the makeup techniques used on actors to visual effects achieved through filming or production.
Mobile viewing makes TV a solo affair.

Because you can now watch your favorite TV channels on your mobile through Starmobile, it means you don’t have to fight for control of the remote control whenever your favorite show is on air.

Digital recording spreads viewing times out.
Primetime may not be prime any longer as real-time recording functions on Starmobile digital TV phones mean that you can wait until later in the evening or even another day entirely before you watch a TV show you’ve been meaning to catch.
That frees up your social life so you don’t have to make the decision between finding out what happens on the season finale of your favorite show and meeting your barkada for dinner.
‘Anytime, anywhere’ means quality TV programming can and should be 24/7.

If you’re channel surfing in the wee hours of the morning these days, you’ll often find channels replaying old (sometimes very, very old) episodes of their shows. But with the Starmobile DTV phones, now you can watch your shows in bed even without a TV in your room, and you can record shows you might not be able to watch when they air.

This sense of easy access means that smaller channels may want to capitalize on bigger channels’ “dead times” and air new content across the region, or top-level TV channels may want to invest in more new shows as the need for reruns will eventually become pretty much defunct. And more shows just mean more TV fun, right?
Even if you’re not a TV addict, you’ll still get a lot of use out of your digital TV phone. Gamers will love the responsiveness of the system as well as the HD screen, something people who download a lot of videos will get a kick out of, too, apart from the huge memory available for use.

Instagrammers and photo-foodies will appreciate the great cameras these come equipped with, as will folks who like to capture moments in time via video (like parents and travel junkies).
The UP Vision and the KNIGHT Vision are now available in Starmobile Stores and Kiosks nationwide while the UP Max will be available beginning the second week of June.
