realme 12 Series

Learn how the device is the perfect fit for individuals with different niches and interests

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. 

To keep posted on other announcements about the realme 12 Series 5G, the Squad can also visit the realme official website.

SB19’s Justin releases “sunday morning” on streaming platforms

4/15/24

SB19 Justin

 The jazz-infused pop track is a cover of a Maroon 5 hit


Thanks to its growing popularity and demand among music fans, Justin’s “sunday morning” is now available on all streaming platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

The track, which reimagines the Maroon 5 classic with a jazz-infused flavor, finds the SB19 member on top of his game. Over funky, irresistible melodies and lighthearted arrangements, Justin delivers a smooth serenade to brighten up the weekend.

The song is produced by RADKIDZ’s Josue, who turned the 2004 smash into a contemporary jam complementing Justin’s personality as an artist.

“sunday morning is one of my personal favorites and it’s one of my go-to karaoke staples since childhood,” the multi-talented pop act said. “I was supposed to perform the song in the Asian leg of the PAGTATAG! World Tour, but the shows got cancelled as we were resolving some internal issues. We took the chance to drop it as one of my solo releases and the rest as they say, is history. The response from the fans was overwhelming that we decided to release it officially on DSPs. We really owe it up to our supporters for the positive reception.” 

Earlier this year, Justin De Dios shared the cover with a performance video set against a backdrop of scenic mountains and blue skies. The video has racked up nearly 800,000 views on YouTube. 

The SB19 singer and creative director also teased the pre-save link of “sunday morning” last Friday, April 12, with a cover art capturing a photo of him wearing a black beret hat and preppy, long sleeves.

“sunday morning” serves as the second song released by Justin as a solo recording artist, following the success of his first single, “surreal,” which has amassed more than three million streams on Spotify alone in less than two months. The latter serves as Justin’s ode to meaningful coincidences and dreams.

Justin’s “sunday morning” is out now on all DSPs.

The perfect solution for acne-prone skin

4/13/24



Hyaloo Pore Repair Collection is Your Acne-Prone Savior

Having an acne-prone skin can have an impact on our confidence and self-esteem. But thankfully, there have been many advances in skincare to offer solutions for whatever skin issues we might have. One of them is Hyaloo which offers the new Pore Repair Collection, the latest innovation from the Korean skincare brand, that’s rich in Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

HA is a naturally occurring humectant found in the skin, with an impressive ability to hold 1,000 times its weight in water. This means it plumps up skin, leaving it feeling more supple and hydrated, while simultaneously creating a barrier that prevents moisture loss. But the benefits of HA don't stop there! Studies have shown it can also reduce inflammation, a key factor in acne breakouts.

However, for truly acne-conquering results, we need something more. Enter Hyaloo's Pore Repair Collection, the latest innovation from the Korean skincare brand known for its gentle yet effective dermatologist-tested formulas. 

This collection harnesses the power of Hydra-BHA technology, a unique blend of:

 4x Hyaluronic Acid: Delivers intense hydration and plumps skin.

Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that gently exfoliates, unclogs pores, and fights acne-causing bacteria.

Ceramides: Strengthens the skin's barrier, preventing moisture loss and irritation.

Here's how the 3 products in the collection work together to transform your acne-prone skin:

Hyaloo Pore Repair Foam Wash

This pH-balanced cleanser gently removes excess oil, dirt, and impurities, leaving skin feeling refreshed and calm. Its exfoliating properties unclog pores, visibly reducing acne and redness.

Hyaloo Pore Repair Deep Hydrating Gel

This lightweight, oil-free gel moisturizer is perfect for oily skin. It absorbs quickly, providing intense hydration without clogging pores. It's even gentle enough for use on both face and body!

Hyaloo Pore Repair Matte-Finish Water Cream SPF 50+ PA+++

This non-comedogenic water cream provides broad-spectrum sun protection without leaving a greasy residue. It's perfect for daily use, even on sensitive skin, and leaves your complexion looking matte and shine-free.

Hydration is an essential to any acne-prone skin type’s skincare routine and Hyaloo is here to be your “hya-mazing” best friend. Hyaloo paves the way for clear pores by promoting balanced, clear, and healthy skin through deep hydration. Hyaloo’s Pore Repair collection treats your skin with the gentle care it deserves, while providing potent ingredients to combat acne. All products in the Hyaloo Pore Repair range is vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free.

Ready to say goodbye to acne and hello to hydrated, balanced skin? Shop Hyaloo's Pore Repair Collection exclusively at a Watsons and SM Department Store near you, or online at Hyaloo’s official Tiktok, Shopee and Lazada flagship stores. Follow Hyaloo on social media by checking the hashtag #HyalooPoreRepair and the handle @hyalooph on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram.
