realme Philippines teams up with gaming royalty Alodia Gosiengfiao to further empower the local gaming community

As mobile gaming and esports continue to gain massive ground in the country, realme Philippines aims to strengthen its position in the industry by catering to the diverse needs of mobile gamers and streamers. With this goal in mind, the country’s no. 1 smartphone brand for Q1 2021 teamed up with cosplay icon, entrepreneur and gaming royalty Alodia Gosiengfiao to further empower the local gaming community to capture infinite possibilities.

Having been in the gaming and cosplay industry since her teenage years, Alodia has managed to break through barriers and cement her place in this fast-growing scene. “I’ve always had the mindset that gaming is and should be for everyone,” shares Alodia. “When I started out, there were people who would tend to ‘gatekeep’ the industry based on what or who they think gamers should be. But despite that, I stayed true to my core and focused on my craft because this is something I’m truly passionate about,” she adds.

Since being part of the realme Squad in 2020, Alodia shares how realme’s wide range of quality tech products perfectly complement her day-to-day life. The flagship realme X50 Pro launched in December of last year has become a staple for her streams and gaming needs with its exceptional speed and 5G connectivity. In addition, Alodia shares how she appreciates that realme provides a full-circle digital experience with its growing range of AIoT products including audio products and wearables.

Capturing infinite gaming possibilities with 5G

The rise of 5G infrastructure and its increasing access in the country ultimately set the stage for an enhanced experience for mobile gamers and esports enthusiasts. For Alodia, the 5G revolution opens up a plethora of possibilities in the industry.  “I’ve always believed in the power of 5G. Not only does it allow for smoother gameplay and performance, but it also ensures reliable communication among players which is key to winning team games”, shares the realme ambassador. 

As the leading smartphone brand in the country, realme is ready to lead the 5G race with its latest 5G game-changer, the realme 8 5G, which Alodia teased ahead of its official launch in her livestream last June 16.

It also comes equipped with Advanced Dual Network Acceleration technology that allows for a seamless Wi-Fi and 5G network overlay.

In addition, realme’s latest 5G innovation also comes with a 5000mAh massive battery with 18W Type-C Quick Charge, guaranteeing longer battery life with rapid charging technology for extended periods of gaming. 

“I’m really looking forward to the response of the gaming community with the launch of the realme 8 5G. I’m sure they will love it as much as I do,” shares Alodia.

Available in two colors: Supersonic Black and Supersonic Blue, the realme 8 5G will officially be revealed to the public via a special livestream on June 24, 6 p.m. on the realme Philippines Facebook page and YouTube channel.
