Get your free Ecobags at Alfamart branches

Alfamart, the first and only Super Minimart chain in the Philippines, is currently giving away ecobags to its customers.

Most cities and municipalities are currently imposing ordinances that reduce, or even completely ban, the single-use plastics. Thus, ecobags have emerged to become a necessary item to bring when shopping around.

Get a free ecobag for every P500 purchase of participating brands

However, most people that go to 24-hour establishments may not always have an ecobag handy, and not everyone is willing to spend extra for a new one. So, instead of offering them for sale, Alfamart stores are now giving them away for a minimum purchase of PhP 500 worth of participating brands.

Apart from the practical convenience, giving better access to ecobags fits in with Alfamart’s community development advocacy. 

“It’s our small way of getting the communities we serve used to ecobags and reducing their dependency on single-use plastics,” said Alfamart Philippines COO Harvey Ong.

For more information on the participating brands and other Alfamart promotions, you may visit https://alfamart.com.ph/shop-with-us/ or their FB page, Alfamart PH.

realme C12 Unboxing and Review: The Battery Beast

Since the pandemic hit the country, I have been binge-watching on all sorts of movies and TV series I could find on Netflix.  

From Korean Dramas, reality show, and most recently I’ve had this renewed fascination for zombie-themed shows, something I thought I got over after watching The Walking Dead. 

Name all the zombie movies/series —Hollywood, Asian, European, Japanese in your head and we’ve probably seen or scanned through them all. And strangely they just make me feel more ALIVE.  Yes. I also watched that movie.

Its become my scapegoat from all the things that's been happening during these crazy year. I feel more at ease knowing that if an outbreak like this happens in the future, I am zombie-ready. 

Unfortunately, most of the time, my phone goes dead, just after the second or third episode or movie, that's why I have been looking for an affordable standby mobile phone with long battery life, to keep me glued to my past time—tipong parang zombie kapag naka amoy ng tao. haha

Last week, realme sent me the latest addition to their C series, the realmeC12, and I have been using for the past few days. 

I loved that it came in coral red (though I see it more like bloody red) because it stands out and is very easy to find amidst all my partner’s other phones on his charging stand. It has what they call a Geometric Gradient Design which I also like because it isn’t much of a fingerprint magnet, and I have yet to get a case for it. 

The realme c12’s main selling point is its 6,000mAh battery the first in its price point here in the Philippines. 

This mega battery capacity makes the realme C12 the perfect phone for those who want a phone they could use for their entire working day. Through its Super Power Saving Mode, the device could continuously be used for apps like WhatsApp and YouTube, yet consume only 5% battery life. 

The realme c12 even supports a special OTG reverse charging so users can also charge other devices just like a powerbank.

The realme c12 has a 6.5-inch large screen which I think is just the right size for watching action-packed zombie movies for that immersive visual experience.It’s a bit huge but still manageable enough to hold because of the ultra-high screen-to-body ratio of 88.7% is made possible by the classic mini-drop design. The size offers great visual experience, be it for regular smartphone use, or for highly visual activities such as video streaming and casual gaming. 

The realme C12 has an AI triple-camera set-up with a 13MP main camera that captures clear details. Its f/2.2 large aperture enables the camera to take in more light, which is conducive for low-lit subjects. It has a Macro Lens with 4CM super-close focus distance that gives the device the capability to shoot small subjects and capture more details. An interesting addition is its B&W and Retro lens which is supposed to give a more special artistic effect for portrait shots.

I also liked the square camera panel on the back because it makes it look like those higher priced smartphones. 

Macro shot 

When I heard about its price, I didn’t expect much about its performance, but surprisingly it was quite smooth and lag free thanks because of its Helio G35 Processor that’s designed for all-around and multi-tasking, especially for gaming and entertainment. It also comes with a 3GB RAM + 32GB storage.

So far since I unboxed it and used to do some test shots, watched my favorite workout videos on Youtube and ofcourse movies, I only had to charge it once after 3 days of moderate to heavy use. If my notes are right, I’ve watched 3 movies, 5 episodes of a KDrama, done one hour exercise for 2 days, and it still had plenty of juice left. I only had to charge it after using it the entire day for my test shots.

The realme C12 was one of the highlights of the realme fan fest last August and usher’s in the BER months – the busiest of all months for Filipinos. At P5990 the realme c12 is a great option for those looking for a device with a high-capacity battery, powerful entry-level cameras and a large screen display, that would serve them well whether for entertainment, gaming or e-learning. 

realme C12 officially available nationwide

The realme C12, the latest of realme Philippines in its battery-powerhouse C-series, is officially available in all realme stores, kiosks and partner mobile stores nationwide starting today, September 03, for Php 5,990. Customers keen on shopping online will enjoy a Php 100 discount on the exclusive launch of the device on Shopee. 

Shopee purchasers may also use the voucher code GADGETZONE8 upon check-out to bring down the price of the realme C12 eight percent further, a promo valid on September 03 only. With the one-day Php 100 discount and the eight-percent voucher code, realme customers can slash a total of Php 600 off of the realme C12 price tag. Shopeewill also be hosting flash sales for the device today from 12:00 p.m. to 4:59 p.m.

Announced to the public last August 28, the realme C12 is expected to bring an all-around experience at an attainable price point. It is highly capable in handling multiple tasks, which is crucial for everybody given the approaching busy holiday season. It packs a 6,000mAh Mega Battery that can support intensive use. The device also features the Helio G35 Processor for multi-tasking functions, especially for casual gaming and entertainment. The realme C12 is equipped with a 13MP AI triple-camera setup for quality snaps, a 5MP selfie camera for a crystal-clear selfie, and an immersive 6.5-inch extra-large screen for an excellent game, audio and visual experience.
