A trendy smartphone that you need
Packed with innovative features, Reno4 still pushes the boundary by striking an exquisite balance between a slim and sleek design. It comes with two colors: Galactic Blue and Space Black. Galactic Blue offers something extra special: for the first time in the Reno Series, OPPO is introducing a brand-new design technique called “Reno Glow.” This is an innovative back cover design that combines a matte fingerprint resistant texture with subtle glitter details giving Galactic Blue a vibrant and glossy look.
With the rising trend to share creativity with the world, Reno4 continues to strengthen its foothold with smartphone imaging technology with exceptional phoneography capabilities. Its rear camera features a 3 + 1 four-shot matrix include a 48MP Main Camera, 8MP Ultra Wide-angle Camera, a 2MP Macro Camera and a 2MP Mono Camera, while the 32MP Front Camera captures impressive selfies.
Moreover, the latest handset produces brilliant night shots, as it can take amazing night time portraits with Night Flare Portrait. It automatically superimposes a mix of transparent and bright blurred light spots on the background and brightens the face of the subject of the portrait shot, to create a clear night portrait with vibrant bokeh effect. Additionally, Ultra Night Selfie Mode and Ultra Dark Mode dramatically improves night time photography allowing you to capture clearer and brighter night shots using both the front and rear cameras.
Reno4 also enables you to capture epic slow-motion shots using 960fps Smart Slow Motion. While the Ultra Steady Video 3.0 offers three different stabilization modes perfect for users interested in capturing high-intensity action shots like when running or skateboarding.

After a year and a half of bringing the best value in the entry level and midrange smartphone segments, realme Philippines is finally launching its first flagship smartphone in the country – the realme X3 SuperZoom. The availability of the flagship star-shooter was announced today in a unique livestream of a short film starred personally by the realme Philippines team, and local influencers like athlete Japoy Lazardo, and streamers AkosiDogie, Chixxmiss and Suzzysaur. realme Philippines also shared the availability of the realme watch, the latest addition to its AIoT line.
The flagship star-shooter realme X3 SuperZoom is the only smartphone in its price point to tout a 120Hz ultra-smooth display, which is twice the speed of the standard 60Hz smartphone displays and is comparable to the display of premium TVs. The realme X3 SuperZoom is also the first in the sub-25k price segment to have a 64MP quad-camera setup with a 5x periscope telephoto lens. The device’s hallmark feature, however, is its Starry Mode, which allows users to take a clear snap of the celestial landscape.
“We at realme Philippines unceasingly continue to aim high – not just for our growth but also for the type of experience we give our users. Bringing real smartphone value for Filipinos has always been our battle cry and we are glad to offer that now in the flagship segment. The realme X3 SuperZoom and the realme Watch are reliable tools that young photographers, aspiring gamers, students and corporate dreamers must have as they continue to aim for the stars despite challenging times,” shares realme Philippines VP for Marketing Austine Huang.
Astronomical Photography Capabilities and Display
The realme X3 SuperZoom is a trailblazer in the camera department as it gives users features that are previously unseen in its price segment: the Starry Night Mode and the 60x digital superzoom. These allow both budding and professional photographers to explore more of their craft without the need for a DSLR camera.
This flagship star-shooter is the only one in its price point that has a 64MP main camera supported by an 8MP periscope-style lens setup capable of a 5x optical zoom and a 60x digital zoom. This is the most powerful zoom feature in the sub-25k price segment, allowing users to take a snap of subjects from miles away. Landscape photography is also not a challenge for the realme X3 SuperZoom with its 8MP ultrawide-angle lens. The device’s 2MP macro lens also produces astounding macrophotography output. Taking selfies and groufies with friends is also as easy as a breeze with the equally powerful dual front in-display cameras of the device, composed of a 32MP Sony 80°wide-angle lens and an IMX616 + 8MP 105°super wide-angle lens.
The main feature that sets the realme X3 SuperZoom apart is the Starry Mode, a unique camera capability first to be seen only in a realme smartphone. This feature utilizes an AI algorithm combined with ultra-long exposure and multi-frame synthesis to allow users to capture heavenly bodies in the evening sky. The flagship star-shooter is indeed a night photographer’s delight for it also has the Super Nightscape 4.0, a feature which gives users the chance to take photos even in 1 Lux Low light conditions, automatically switching between the Super and Ultra Nightscape Modes to capture astounding photo quality. To aid in capturing an excellent night shot, the device also has a Tripod Mode that supports super long exposure settings.
In the display department, immersive barely describes the experience with the realme X3 SuperZoom’s 120Hz ultra-smooth refresh rate capability. An ultra-smooth display spells a convenient and favorable viewing experience for users, especially now that the new normal is reliant on virtual interactions. Users can expect optimum visuals during online classes, webinars, video streaming and gaming. The display is also covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for better protection. It also comes with features like the punch hole light effect, eye protection, customer color mode, and Object and Semantic Images and Eye-tracking (OSIE) Artificial Intelligence.
Stellar flagship performance
realme brings a true flagship slayer that is ready to take multiple wins with Filipino gamers. The realme X3 SuperZoom is powered by a Snapdragon 855+ processor, a mobile platform built specifically for gaming, which delivers cutting edge performance, improved graphics and CPU efficiency, and a robust 4G connectivity. It is complemented by a 2.96Hz octa-core processor and UFS 3.0 high-speed flash memory that provides top computing performance, smooth multitasking capabilities, ultra-high download speeds and ultra-low latency.
The device’s 4200mAh battery and 30W Dart Flash Charge feature provide users many hours of uninterrupted game play. Complementing these is a Liquid Cooling System that ensures 100 percent effective coverage of internal heat sources to avoid overheating even under heavy performance. The realme X3 SuperZoom also supports Dolby Atmos and hi-res sound quality which unveil a new frontier in audio for an elevated listening experience.
Lastly, the realme X3 SuperZoom reigns supreme in the storage department by being the only device in its price segment to have a 12GB RAM + 256GB storage, a configuration most favorable for those who download apps and online materials regularly.

DIFFERENTIATION between smartphones these days comes with the vital statistics that it boasts about. As innovations for processors, cameras, displays and resolutions are were mostly coming off-the-shelf, Vivo decided to break the habit by focusing on the software, an innovative waterfall display while introducing a unique front camera.
The Vivo Nex 3 shows off its photography skills with a triple camera with various high definition resolutions—a 64-megapixel main camera, 13MP wide-angle camera and a 13MP super macro camera. This may not sound competitive with the quad or even its own 6-camera set up on the Vivo V17, but this was not the point of how the way the camera was set up.
“Achieving HD clarity as a standard for all photos is the basis of the choices of lenses and resolutions. This upgraded camera allows users to capture life’s splendor down to the last detail,” Colwin Tanhenco of Vivo’s Brand Management Group said.
Up front, the 16MP elevating front camera with its purpose-fit motor and customized gear box ensure smooth elevation that operates stably and quickly. The extended selfie camera also had one advantage—a different depth of field outside of the frame of the camera. The motorized camera module also houses the front-facing flash.
I initially doubted the resilience of the front camera because previous experiences with things popping out of the device only ended in frustration. It would either break off, or not operate at all. Tanhenco assured me (referring me to a video) showing how the internal framing and gears of the device consisted of just a few moving parts, as well as a strong frame over the body structure.
The AMOLED Waterfall FullView display stretches and curves the smartphone screen along its sides to provide users with broader, borderless views. The 6.89-inch notch-free display has a significantly improved 99.6 percent screen-to-body ratio to offer consumers a breathtaking visual experience.
The display aspect ratio is 18.8:9. The documentary declaration feels a lot different when clasping the device. It feels smaller than it is, as even the robust plastic case to house it is reduced by quite a bit. It also enables scrolling the display contents from the sides, leaving the large canvas for viewing.
Max brightness on the screen gives a full gamut of color. The HDR10 capabilities with the OLED configuration produces vivid colors, the contrast was high, and the blacks were crisp.
This latest gem from Vivo is powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 855+ chipset. The Nex 3 review unit in our possession had 8GB of RAM and a UFS 3.0 storage. It has a novel dual WLAN Acceleration technology can use two Wi-Fi signal networks at the same time to greatly boost the network speed and facilitate smoother use.
Vivo’s AI assistant, Jovi, has been upgraded to enable a fully intelligent flagship experience based on the Vivo Computation Acceleration Platform (VCAP).
The platform offers AI algorithms for software optimization and enhanced user habit learning for deeper AI integration – providing an impressive speed boost with a personalized experience.
Vivo has also fitted this phone with a heatsinks and heat dissipation chambers to keep it running cool. Running on such a powerful platform requires the thermals are always in check and at optimum operating temperature to sustain peak performance for longer.
I downloaded a lot of intense 3D games to run and the Nex 3 rarely got uncomfortably warm.
The specifications form only a part of the gaming experience, with the display and rich audio completing the experience. The large display definitely helps with the gaming, with the curve edges making it a little slippery to grasp the phone. But when the dark grey phone case is installed, there seems to be much better grip for game play. Plugging in the headphones did provide a notch for fingers to grip over. But I was just playing racing and sniper games, which, by any measure requires stability and fast processor speed, which the Vivo Nex 3 had loads of.
Interestingly, for PUBG Mobile, where a lot of the interaction elements are located along the edges, the curved screen did not make for accidental touch issues.
Reiterating the processing engine again, the Vivo Nex 3 is powered by Snapdragon 855 Plus with 2.96Hz Octa-core processor, Qualcomm’s first 5G solution, and UFS 3.0 high-speed flash memory, NEX 3 provides top computing performance, smooth multitasking capabilities, ultra-high download speeds (over 1Gbps), ultra-low latency and robust network reliability.
A 4500mAh battery gives NEX users the fuel to go through their day feeling unrestrained, while Vivo Super FlashCharge 44W and C-DRX power-saving technologies ensure low power is a thing of the past. The Vapor Chamber Cooling System meanwhile supplies power while remaining cool even with heavy 5G usage. NEX 3 is equipped with 8GB/12GB storage and supports global frequency bands and NFC.
“This new Vivo phone focuses on both the software and hardware strengths to give a great value at its price of P39,990. The amount of artificial intelligence and great hardware fit into it makes it one of the most stunning flagship phones in our line up,” Tanhenco emphasized as he mentioned that the Vivo NEX 3 will soon be available at all authorized Vivo outlets nationwide.
IN today’s world of relentless technological innovation, software development and product design, one way for a mobile device to stand out in a highly-competitive market is to have a clear edge over the rest of the field.
But while some of the latest smartphones may claim to have the best industry features and state-of-the-art design, they are only as good as the last one because their innovations are shaped and limited by present technology.
As a leading global technology company, Vivo is strongly committed to developing ground-breaking innovations anchored on future technologies that would not only provide the best smartphone experience for the user, but would also help set the trend and shape the industry.
Vivo’s NEX 3 smartphone, the latest flagship in its high-end NEX series, does just that as it breaks the limits of present technology with next-generation innovations that go beyond the edge, making it the “device of the future”.
Beyond limits with breakthrough design
The NEX 3 features a AMOLED Waterfall FullView™ Display that stretches and curves the smartphone screen along its sides to provide users with broader, borderless views. The 6.89-inch notch-free display has a significantly improved 99.6% screen-to-body ratio to offer consumers a breathtaking visual experience.
The premium smartphone also hides physical power and volume buttons from sight, creating a seamless, touch-controlled unibody design. With its X-axis Haptic Vibration motor, Touch Sense can respond with haptic feedback, delivering a tangible, comfortable and futuristic experience. In-Display Fingerprint Scanning also allows users to step into their mobile world both instantly and safely.
Premier photo-shooting experience
NEX 3 flexes its photography superiority with a 64-megapixel main camera, 13MP wide-angle camera and a 13MP super macro camera. Making super HD clarity as a standard for all photos, the smartphone’s upgraded camera allows users to capture life’s splendor down to the last detail.
With its 16MP Elevating Front Camera, NEX 3 makes way for the perfect FullView™ Display, turning every selfie into a unique experience. A purpose-fit motor and customized gear box ensure smooth elevation that operates stably.
Boosting connectivity and power
Powered by Snapdragon 855 Plus with 2.96Hz Octa-core processor, Qualcomm’s first 5G solution, and UFS 3.0 high-speed flash memory, NEX 3 provides top computing performance, smooth multitasking capabilities, ultra-high download speeds (over 1Gbps), ultra-low latency and robust network reliability. The dual WLAN Acceleration technology can use two Wi-Fi signal networks at the same time to greatly boost the network speed and facilitate smoother use.
A 4500mAh battery gives NEX users the fuel to go through their day feeling unrestrained, while Vivo Super FlashCharge 44W and C-DRX power-saving technologies ensure low power is a thing of the past. The Vapor Chamber Cooling System meanwhile supplies power while remaining cool even with heavy 5G usage. NEX 3 is equipped with 8GB/12GB storage and supports global frequency bands and NFC.
Go beyond artificial intelligence
Vivo’s AI assistant, Jovi, has been upgraded to enable a fully intelligent flagship experience based on the Vivo Computation Acceleration Platform (VCAP). The platform offers AI algorithms for software optimization and enhanced user habit learning for deeper AI integration – providing an impressive speed boost with a personalized experience.
The Vivo NEX 3 will soon be available at all authorized Vivo outlets nationwide.

The realme XT also sports the latest optical fingerprint scanner module from Goodix 3.0. The latest solution doubles the sensitivity area, increases the signal intensity by 40 percent and requires only an average of 334ms to unlock the phone. It is currently one of the fastest fingerprint experiences in the market.
