Take Better Photos with realme 11 Pro Series 5G: Essential Features that Level Up Mobile Photography

Take Better Photos with realme 11 Pro Series 5G: Essential Features that Level Up Mobile Photography

Saturday, September 30

Level up your shots with a 200MP OIS SuperZoom Camera, Street Mode mode and more

In today’s digital world where everyone can turn into an instant photographer with a mobile phone, the goal for many is to stand out with the best shots. Bring your content to the next level by elevating your mobile photography skills with the realme 11 Pro Series 5G. 

Coming with a premium leather back design to serve as an absolute fashion-forward mastercraft, the realme 11 Pro Series 5G lets you see #TheWorldUpClose, enables you to see more, go further and explore more with outstanding camera features, and then some.

Here, we break down the essential features of the realme 11 Pro+ 5G and realme 11 Pro 5G that cater to your every mobile photography need.

Rear cameras that put you ahead

Superiority in smartphone photography often boils down to the features of the rear cameras. The realme 11 Pro+ 5G downright impresses with a stunning 200MP OIS SuperZoom Camera. This means you can enjoy high-resolution shots, while avoiding unnecessary shakes and motion when taking photos for clearer, sharper captures.

It also features a 4x In-Sensor Zoom (in the Standard Photo Mode), which can be toggled to allow “lossless zoom” for photos taken through the 200MP Sensor. Zoom capabilities are likewise taken further, which can be best sampled through taking photos of the moon with AI turned on and taken with a mind-blowing x10 Zoom that extends even further up to x20 Zoom!.

On the other hand, the realme 11 Pro 5G presents a 100MP OIS ProLight Camera, where photos are enhanced through algorithms that significantly reduce the amount of time needed for night photography shots and rapid shots, allow photos to retain a significant amount of clarity even after being zoomed in up to four times, and helps enhance colors in photos taken by making them punchier and true-to-life. Its 2x In-Sensor Zoom is also utilized for the 2x Portrait Mode for a more closed-in shot, enhanced with specialized Portrait Algorithms. 

Have something unwanted enter the frame at the last second? Both the realme 11 Pro+ 5G and realme 11 Pro 5G offer an eraser feature that, when used carefully, can remove elements from the frame, leaving you only with the perfect shot you wanted.

Take it to the streets with Street Mode

Formerly exclusive to the realme GT Series, Street Mode has since been made a staple feature in realme smartphones, and is also now available to the realme 11 Pro Series 5G. What makes Street Mode in demand is its game-changing features that give users the feeling of capturing shots with a DSLR camera as a street photographer.

Easy toggle options allow users to switch focal lengths when switching between Auto to Manual, as if changing lenses on a DSLR. There’s also an Auto Zoom mode, where a double tap commands the camera to instantly focus and center on the subject for an easy shot. Other highlights of Street Mode include Peak & Zoom, allowing for easier zoom and focus adjustments, and instantly taking a shot with just one-handed use.

Go on Hi-Res Mode

Available only to the realme 11 Pro+ 5G, Hi-Res mode enables users to toggle between 200MP and 50MP depending on preference. The feature also presents stunning multiple POVs on One Take, where once the image is processed, the user can review the photo taken and then see several perspectives recommended by the phone based on that one single shot. How’s that for a premium feature?

Other Camera Modes 

While a lot has already been mentioned, there’s even more to the realme 11 Pro Series 5G in terms of camera features. There’s the Dual-View Video that uses both the front and rear cameras to shoot a single video, where the orientation can also be customized according to pr

Always out with a big group? Leave no one out of the frame with Group Portrait, a feature that captures more detail of the faces of up to at least 10 people. This removes the tendency for others to be blurred in the background of shots from other smartphone cameras.

Then, for the most passionate of mobile photographers, the Long Exposure feature presents four dedicated filters. This allows users to play with lights in their surroundings or write/draw in the shot using flashlights and others. There’s no need to manually adjust in Pro Mode since the filters are already pre-made for convenience.

Storage and Design

With ultra-packed camera features that will have anyone going crazy on the shutter, it’s only right for the realme 11 Pro 5G to be big on storage.

The realme 11 Pro+ 5G presents 12GB+512GB of space, while the realme 11 Pro 5G offers 8GB+256GB. Both models present a strong storage expandability of 24GB Total RAM with up to 12GB Dynamic RAM Expansion. 

The realme 11 Pro+ 5G is priced at P24,999 SRP and comes in the colors Sunrise Beige and Oasis Green. Meanwhile, the realme 11 Pro 5G which goes for P19,999 SRP, is available in the same colors, with the additional option of Astral Black.

Where to Next? An Exciting Adventure Into the World of Work Awaits with vivo V27 Series

Where to Next? An Exciting Adventure Into the World of Work Awaits with vivo V27 Series

Saturday, May 13

The next generation of young blood will soon enter the workforce, with some schools already holding graduation rites this month. College and senior high school graduates are asking themselves existential questions like what to do next with their lives. But they wouldn’t be alone: Many in the workforce are also thinking about the career path to pursue. 

As with any new experience, navigating the world of work is equally thrilling and scary, humbling and enlightening. To make the most out of this journey, you will need a reliable partner that can always bring out the best in you, like the latest smartphone from vivo, the vivo V27 Series. Boasting the innovative Aura Portrait Algorithm with Sony IMX 766V - a customized camera sensor for vivo, and a flagship performance frontlined by its 12GB RAM that can run up to 30 apps smoothly, learn more how this premium device can guide you towards your next big step ahead. 

Highlight the me in resume 

Your resume, from the content to the overall look, is a reflection of yourself. As a general rule, it’s best to keep it clean and straightforward while also reflective of your personality or character. If you’re a fresh grad, highlight academic performance and extra-curricular activities such as seminars, leadership conferences, trainings and accomplishments. But maybe there’s no need to include awards won from fourth grade. 

If you already have previous work experience, highlight work accomplishments, skills developed and trainings completed. Feel free to get a tad personal and mention your interests as long as they are related to the job or will not make you look bad in the end. One thing to remember: You want the employer to know your qualifications, not your life history so 10 pages of resume will not cut it. 

Take a lesson from the vivo V27 Series about the minimalist approach. From its camera layout, color to overall build, vivo knows when to show more by doing less. With their slim and lightweight frame at 7.36mm for vivo V27 5G variant and 7.7mm for its vivo V27e variant, the vivo V27 Series is built to go with you anywhere you go but is sturdy enough for all your needs. The uncomplicated and straightforward camera layout is a testament to vivo’s commitment to balancing functionality and beauty as inspired by the Bauhaus design philosophy. Of course, with the Photochromic 2.0 technology that changes your phone case’s color when placed under the sun, you really don’t need to complicate the design as that color-changing technology is impressive enough! 

Go hard on your soft skills

Any reasonable recruiter or employer will not expect an extensive body of work from a fresh grad, so don’t get stressed out if you cannot present an impressive portfolio just yet. Instead, highlight your school accomplishments and other skills. Communication, problem solving, adaptability and teamwork may not be as quantifiable as good grades, but they are just as, if not more, important in a professional setting. Cite examples of when you took the initiative to lead an important group project or event. Tell stories of how you showed integrity or perseverance during your internship and paint a picture of how your experiences can be of use to the company you’re applying to. 

The same goes for applicants moving from one job to the next. Highlight the soft skills. 

Overall, reliability is what people are looking for. Just like with the vivo V27 Series. With its 12GB+8GB Extended RAM and 256GB ROM, you can take your organization skills notches higher. Manage and maintain your work files with ease with bigger storage space. Tick off everything on your to-do lists with its all-day battery with 66W FastCharge technology that powers up the phone to 50 percent in just 19 minutes. 

Work has gone digital and so should you 

These days, there is no job that doesn’t require some form of digital skill. Supplement your soft skills with more digital capabilities. Start looking for free digital courses. Most courses have flexible schedule and will let you manage your own time, including assignments and projects. 

After a series of interviews and aptitude tests, you finally bagged that first job. If your work involves handling content or you simply want to capture moments in your new world, the vivo V27 Series packs powerful cameras that go beyond megapixel sizes.

The X90 Series Has Once Again Raised the Bar for Flagship Smartphones

The X90 Series Has Once Again Raised the Bar for Flagship Smartphones

Monday, January 2

Once again, vivo has raised the bar for flagship smartphones. The X90 series has extraordinary improvements in every possible way - from having a revamped self-developed chip, the vivo V2, new camera features and an upgraded screen. 

The self-designed imaging chip: V2

Thanks to the new iteration of AI-ISP architecture, the compatibility, and functionality of V2 chips have been comprehensively improved. The fresh part is that there are improvements in various performances in games. ProMEMC, through independent display chips, supports interpolating game frames to 90~120 frames, so that the smooth-running performance of large-scale games is excellent. It is reported that the in-depth cooperation between vivo and MediaTek has brought heavy functions such as superframe stabilization mode and chip eye protection used in Honor of Kings. 

Among them, the adaptive picture quality mode is the black technology developed based on the adaptive loop of MAGT games, jointly developed by vivo, MediaTek, and Honor of Kings. After turning on this function and running for 1 hour in 120+ extreme configuration in a 26°C environment, the game frame rate is close to full frame, and the mean square deviation is only 0.92, reaching the industry's top-level; Chip eye protection technology makes the proportion of high-energy visible blue light less than 5%, and the degree of the color cast is reduced by 12%, which ensures that the screen does not shift color while reducing blue light. 

Images beyond imagination

The enhanced image capabilities of the X90 series come from two main aspects:

In terms of professional optical systems, vivo and ZEISS have in-depth cooperation and use multiple process technologies to effectively reduce flare and make night scene shooting images pure. It adopts the biomimetic design of the moth-eye cornea, coupled with the sub-wavelength structure. Compared with the previous generation of ALD coating, the reflectivity can be further reduced by 42.8%, which can further eliminate flare and ghosting. Based on the research of the human visual system, vivo's self-developed VCS biomimetic spectroscopy technology fundamentally solves the problem of CMOS color loss.

The X90 series is not only powerful in hardware, but also in software. Together with ZEISS, vivo built the Firmament Night System algorithm, which allows users to hand-shoot professional-grade starry sky photography blockbusters without the need for additional accessories.

Finally, to summarize the imaging capabilities of the X90 series in one sentence, it goes like this, "ordinary users use it to shoot professional video works, and professionals use it to create more efficiently and make more magic".

A new generation of Q9 light-emitting devices

In terms of screen durability and design, vivo X90 and X90 Pro are equipped with a 6.78-inch hyperbolic BOE OLED screen and Q9 light-emitting devices. With a resolution of up to 452PPI, it meets the super retina screen display standard, bringing users the best look and feel of a comfortable display for the human eye, and immersive visual shock. At the same time, using BOE's leading wide color gamut technology, the screen display DCI-P3 color gamut value can reach more than 115%, the peak brightness is as high as 1300nit, the display picture quality is clear and delicate, brilliant and colorful. And the screen content is clearly visible even in strong light. Additionally, the X90 series products also adopt a new blue diamond pixel arrangement independently developed by BOE, which can display ultra-high definition fine pictures even when viewing small text dozens of times.

After 10 years of extreme exploration, efforts, and continuous self-breakthrough, vivo X series gained "professional camera" recognition, product value, and user reputation. vivo X90 is definitely the hottest product you should be checking right now!

Explore Mobile Photography with Samsung Galaxy A23 5G

Explore Mobile Photography with Samsung Galaxy A23 5G

Friday, December 2

I have always been fascinated with photography. In high school, the only organization I joined was the Photography Club. I only had the entry-level point and shoot camera. It was expensive back then. I had to buy film and have the photos developed. When camera phones became a thing, I became very interested and bought my very first Samsung phone --- the Samsung i900 Omnia. The camera was not yet fancy and not much editing softwares were available. Fast forward to more than a decade, I have purchased different models of Samsung. The cameras are getting better. 

If you wish to explore mobile photography, Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is a budget-friendly mid-range phone. The rear quad cameras are 50.0 MP main + 5.0 MP ultrawide + 2.0 MP macro + 2.0 MP depth. 

I took the above photo using just the standard setting of the main camera and the output is not bad at all. Although I have noticed that there's almost a second delay when I click the shutter button before the shot is actually taken. It makes me conscious to keep still to avoid having a blurred image.

I love still photography and my favorite subject is food. Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is impressive when used on well-lit areas. There's no need for editing and the color profile is manageable. 

This photo was taken on a moderately lit room with natural light from the glass window but on a cloudy day.  The image is almost true to its color but the camera performance on low-light is noticeable. It's still nice for instagram feed though. 

This photo was taken under warm lights. It's always a struggle even for mirrorless camera to shoot in warm lights. I had to adjust this photo using the phone's editing function. 

The ultrawide camera is perfect for taking landscape photos and group shots. Night mode is not available though so the output is not very impressive when used when the sun is down. 

Who doesn't love taking selfies?! The front camera is definitely the most used. Samsung Galaxy A23 5G has an 8MP and takes decent selfie photos. I am satisfied with this selfie taken at night time with warm lights. 

The secret to taking great photos using smartphone doesn't rely solely on the camera. One way to improve your mobile photography skills is by taking lots and lots of photos. And while smartphones allow us to conveniently take a snap while on the go, it helps to really know the capabilities and the limitations of your camera first. 

If you wish to level up the photos you upload on your social media feed or if you are interested in mobile photography, the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G is recommendable for a mid-range smartphone.
