realme launches the realme GT 2 Pro, the narzo 50, and the narzo 50A Prime


Fastest-growing tech brand realme today globally launched three highly anticipated smartphones to add to its growing lineup worldwide. This includes the brand’s latest flagship offering: the realme GT 2 Pro, along with the newest narzo smartphones: the narzo 50, and the narzo 50A Prime.  

 

Following its debut at MWC Barcelona 2022 earlier this year, the realme GT 2 Pro is set to be available in other key markets via the realme Global Store on Shopee starting March 25. 

 

Designed to be the brand’s most premium flagship yet, the realme GT 2 Pro embodies realme’s bold commitment to break into the high-end market with the latest technology and transformative designs. The smartphone boasts flagship performance features such as the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 platform, a Stainless Steel Vapor Cooling System, 65W SuperDart Charge and 5000mAh Massive Battery among many others. 

 

In terms of display, the realme GT 2 Pro is equipped with a Super Reality Display, which is built to deliver incredibly realistic visuals that feel rich, natural, and authentic, and provide an ultra-high-resolution display with a high refresh rate.  As the World's First 2K AMOLED Flat Display with LTPO 2.0 Technology, the Super Reality display was created using a 6.7-inch E4 AMOLED with over 4.5 million pixels and a whopping 525 pixels per inch, guaranteeing sharper and more detailed visuals across the board. 

 

The realme GT 2 Pro also showcases the best in product design. The brand once again collaborated with world-renowned industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa to create the industry’s first bio-based polymer design inspired by the concept of paper art. Aligned with an eco-friendly design philosophy, the exterior of the realme GT 2 Pro Master Edition is made of sustainable Sabic bio-based materials extracted from renewable raw materials such as paper pulp and fallen leaves. These materials can reduce carbon emissions by up to 63% per kilogram and can reduce potential fossil feedstock consumption by up to 35%. 

 

Lastly, the realme GT 2 Pro adopts a remarkable triple-camera setup featuring the world’s first 150° ultra-wide Camera and a 40x micro-lens camera. The 50 MP primary camera is supported by the Sony IMX766 flagship-level sensor with both Optical Image Stabilization for photos, and electronic image stabilization for videos. The 150° ultra-wide Camera allows you to shoot extreme panoramas with a 278% increase in the field of view for your images than most main cameras. Meanwhile, the mind-blowing 40X micro-lens camera allows you to take a closer look and experience the world around you in a whole new way. 

 

With all these features and more, the realme GT 2 Pro is guaranteed to redefine the flagship experience. The realme GT 2 Pro 12GB+256GB will retail for P34,990 SRP, with an early-bird offer of P6,000 OFF (P28,990) on March 25 to March 26.

 The world of fantasy and suspense unravel in HBO’s new Asia Original thriller-comedy series Twisted Strings premiering with two episodes on Sunday March 27, 9pm on HBO, HBO GO and CATCHPLAY+. Executive produced by acclaimed filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien (The Assassin), the seven-episode Taiwan satire anthology follows with a new instalment every Sunday and the final two episodes air back-to-back on April 24. 

 

Twisted Strings follows a series of bizarre deaths in the fictional Taiping City over seven separate stories across parallel time and space. While each story can be viewed independently, it intersects with others in unobvious ways. A funeral, a missing body, a dangerous game, a kidnapping; real and unreal, these incidents are woven in Wu Yuenu’s memories, converging in the mysterious Sailing Castle, where the boundary between fiction and reality is blurred. At the end of the seventh episode, all the clues will come together to reveal the whole story.

 

The name of the series is inspired by a popular Taiwanese nursery rhyme, which contains lyrics that tell the story of a monkey's life over seven days. Each episode is loosely based on a line from the song.

Award-winning actress, director and screenplay writer Sylvia Chang (Love Education, 20 30 40) plays Wu Yuenu, the constant linking together the series. Chang said, “This series is full of surprises and humanity, viewers will definitely love it.” Apart from Chang, most key actors such as Lee Kang-sheng, Nikki Hsieh and Hsueh Shih-ling play more than one role across the different episodes.

 

Conceptualized and written over three years by Golden Horse-nominated director Huang Xi, Twisted Strings aims to see the humour of life and death. Hou who is executive producer of a series for the very first time said, “The Twisted Strings team includes staff I have worked with over the years in art direction, production and editing, as well as the actors. Matching them with director Huang Xi’s script and narrative technique will lead to a drama of unique style and presentation. In addition, our collaborative effort with international investors makes Twisted Strings a rarity among Taiwanese dramas.”

 

The anthology series also has an ensemble of award-winning cast and crew including Golden Horse-winning actor Lee Kang-sheng(Stray DogsDays). This is Lee’s first lead role in a series after having starred in films for the past 30 years. Additional star-studded line-up includes Nikki Hsieh (I Weirdo , Reflections), Yo Yang (Ex-boyfriend, Formula 17), Yao Yi-Ti (The Gangs, The Oscars and The Walking Dead) , Duan Chun-Hao (We Are Champions), Hsueh Shih-Ling (HBO Asia Original Series Workers, Born Into Loving Hands), Michael J.Q. Huang (Father to Son, Wake up), Tracy Chou (HBO Asia Original Series The World Between Us), David Wu (We Are Champions), Buffy Chen (The Silent Forest), Rima Zeidan (Missing Johnny), JC Lin (HBO Asia Original Series The World Between Us, A Day To Choose), Bai Runyin (Dear Tenant), as well as Romeo Tan (Soul Old Yet So Young) and Aileen Tan (Hello Ms Driver) from Singapore.

 

Presented by HBO Asia and CATCHPLAY, Twisted Strings is produced by CATCHPLAY’s SCREENWORKS ASIA, in partnership with Taiwan’s Bossdom and Singapore’s Mediacorp.

Debut date: Sunday, March 27, 9pm on HBO, HBO GO and CATCHPLAY+

Lying behind the mourning hall, Guo Boxiang’s body is ready for the funeral. Perhaps to save his children the trouble or to reassure himself, he made all the arrangements before he died. His children only need to follow the funeral director’s instructions, but they dodge the responsibility and cut corners. The funeral director is the only one who makes sure that everything goes well. Eventually, Guo’s children seem satisfied but would the deceased rest in peace? Is this a perfect ending or the beginning of a series of strange incidents?

 

Episode 2: Tuesday

Debut date: Sunday, March 27, 10pm on HBO, HBO GO and CATCHPLAY+

When they decide to play the treasure hunt game they used to play, Hong Yunlong forces Wang Sijie, his friend’s girlfriend who he fancies, to team up with himself. While trying to find the items during the game, Hong and Wang run into a series of strange coincidences as if their hunt is jinxed. The last task brings them to the cemetery, where a brutal truth buried for years is unveiled…
