The vivo Y02s is a slim yet powerful, affordable device that is perfect to meet new users’ digital needs

With the seemingly infinite choices available today, picking the perfect smartphone has become quite a confusing and complicated task. There are a few things a buyer needs to consider when buying their first mobile phone: battery life, size and design, built-in features, and price, just to name a few.

 

vivo’s latest entry-level offering, the vivo Y02s, is a slim yet powerful, affordable device that is perfect to meet new users’ digital needs.

 

A battery life that lasts

If you don't want to search for sockets everywhere you go or have the luxury of carrying a power bank all the time, get a smartphone with long-lasting battery life. With the vivo Y02s’s impressive 5,000 mAh battery, you can definitely enjoy your gadget without having to worry about running out of battery over and over in a day. A single full charge allows you to stream YouTube in HD for up to 18 hours, 20 hours of music playback on Spotify, and 7 hours of resource-intensive gaming like PUBG, or Mobile Legends. Your mobile phone’s long battery life ensures that you can spend more hours browsing, playing games, and binge-watching movies and TV series than recharging.

 

And in case you do use up all of its power, vivo Y02s also features 10W fast charging, making sure that you can easily get back on track.

 

A design that’s easy on the eye and to grip

 

With only 8.19 mm thickness and weighing just 182 g, the vivo Y02s is light and easy to handle. It easily fits into your pocket or small pouch. The  sophisticatedly designed 2.5 D curvature and frame of its body are not only pleasing to the eyes, but they also make the device more comfortable to grip.

 

This smartphone is a delight to see, as well. It comes in Flourite Black, which gives off a classy shine and a touch of elegance, and Vibrant Blue, which showcases a pattern of dancing waves, rejuvenating you with passion and vitality.

 

A screen that improves viewing satisfaction

A wide and immersive screen is necessary nowadays as it helps avoid eye strain when reading articles, emails, text messages, and even successive social media posts. It even makes viewing photos and playing graphics-intensive games better.

 

Those demands are satisfied by the vivo Y02s’s 6.51-inch HD+ Halo FullView Display with 1600*720 (HD+) resolution. Moreover, it has an intelligent brightness adjustment depending on ambient light conditions and filters out harmful blue light.

 

A camera that beautifully captures significant moments

  

For its camera, the vivo Y02s features good set of cameras, which are effective to use even in dark environments and have a real-time preview of fill light effects and automatic adaption to ambient cool and warm light. The main camera is even complemented by vivo’s AI editing software that ensures great photographs every single time.

 

These camera specifications make this device the perfect companion for frequent travelers who love to capture breathtaking landscapes, fun adventures, and other special moments.

 

A powerful processor that makes great things happen

A mobile phone with a powerful processor opens all your essential apps in a blink of an eye and helps you promptly complete your tasks. Great news for you—the vivo Y02s is powered by a Mediatek Helio P35 chipset and has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of memory to guarantee sufficient phone storage. These aspects contribute to your gadget’s speed, gaming performance, user experience, battery efficiency, and overall smooth performance.

 

The best choice for a seamless first-time user experience

The vivo Y02s checks off all the boxes of what a smartphone should be for first-time users. It has a battery life that suffices daily requirements. It is both beautifully and ergonomically designed. 

It has all the fundamental features covered with its wide and clear display, a very capable camera that works well even in unfavorable conditions, and a processor that enables the gadget’s smooth performance. And you do get all these for a reasonable and affordable price.

Tenya opens first express store at SM Megamall Foodcourt

 

Tenya, a successful tendon restaurant chain in Japan, continues to reach more Filipinos with the opening of its new store at SM Megamall on September 5, serving authentic and quality Japanese meals the fastfood way. 

After making a name in Japan as the country's No. 1 Tempura Tendon, Tenya has also been gaining traction in the Philippines, fueling its expansion to eight megacities across the capital region.

 

As it has long mastered the art of providing real Japanese dishes, the restaurant chain has reimagined a new way of offering Filipinos their Japanese favorites through Tenya Express. 

Situated at the heart of Ortigas, Tenya Express opens its doors at SM Megamall Foodcourt and is well-positioned to satisfy the cravings of consumers for tendon and tempura at reasonable prices. 

 

L-R Tenya Japan Reps: Mizuki Koga, Shuuji Noboritama, Royal Holdings Chairman Tadao Kikuchi, Tenya PH Chairman Leopoldo Prieto Jr, Chukri Prieto (Managing Director), Denise Ramos (Director of Operations)

 

 

Among those who attended the grand opening were the company's top executives, namely Chairman Leopoldo Prieto Jr., President Chiqui Prieto, Managing Director Leopoldo "Chukri" Prieto III, General Manager Edmundo "Iggy" Ramos, Director of Operations Denise Ramos, and IT Director Andres Marquez. 

Mr. Tadao Kikuchi, Chairman of Royal Holdings Corporation which operates Tenya Japan, and other representatives, also flew in to officially open the new express store. 

 

"Since our launch in the Philippines seven years ago, we never stopped exploring ways to bring Tenya's best tasting products to more Filipinos who are looking for a real touch of Japan," said Mr. Chukri Prieto. 

 

"With our new Tenya Express, we are delighted that consumers can grab their authentic Japanese food fast and conveniently," Ms. Denise Ramos said. 

 

Specializing in tendon and tempura, Tenya has invested in infrared heating technology to make sure that its tempuras are always evenly fried to perfection. Aside from these premium items, Tenya has also fused and introduced more specialties on its menu to offer consumers the best and whole Japanese experience.  

 

The items on the Tenya Express menu include donburi bowls at P185 (gyudon, chicken karaage, ebi), bento boxes start at P225 (tonkatsu, sukiyaki, seafood tempura). Other offerings include onigiri, ramen, burger, maki, and best-selling Tenya tendon favorites—Classics, All-star, and Asakusa Special. 

 

"The launch of Tenya Express store also reflects our commitment to stay true to that art of Japanese convenience, while providing quality service to our Filipino consumers. The Tenya Express at SM Megamall is just the start as we strive to bring the taste of Japan to every Filipino," Mr. Iggy Ramos said. 

 

Tenya is targeting to expand its new concept to more locations soon.

Beko showcased its new product innovations at IFA Berlin 2022

 

Guided by their belief that healthy living is only possible on a healthy planet, global appliance brand Beko has developed products and technologies such as the HarvestFresh and SteamCure technology that not only make consumers' lives easier but also preserve nature while allowing people to enjoy and live a convenient and healthy lifestyle.

Last Friday, September 2, Beko showcased its new product innovations at IFA Berlin 2022, one of Europe's largest home electronics and consumer trade shows. These latest home solutions include Beko's new game-changing innovation, SaveWater.

 

The SaveWater technology will be globally launched in September this year. This technology in dishwashers, washing machines/tumble dryer couples has been crafted to provide quality and water-efficient cleaning. Developed with water efficiency at heart, the new SaveWater line by Beko gives back a total of up to 7.8 liters of water at every cycle to you and the world. 

 

Alongside SaveWater, Beko's line of products at IFA reflects its deep commitment to sustainability and mission to develop durable and quality products that help consumers live healthier and in harmony with the environment. 

Make Your Dishes Perfectly Clean And Use Water Efficiently With Beko's SaveWater Dishwasher

 

Beko's SaveWater dishwasher delivers water-efficient cleaning while offering the lowest water consumption in the Beko range.

 

With a capacity of 16 place settings, it consumes only 6.9 liters of water to wash a full load efficiently. The SaveWater feature saves water from the last rinse phase in the dishwashing cycle, storing it hygienically and safely in the machine's specially designed water tank. This can be re-used at the beginning of the next wash, helping to save households 2.6 liters of water with every wash using the Eco program. 

 

The water in the tank is discharged after a maximum of 72 hours if the dishwasher is not used during that time to ensure hygienic and safe conditions.

 

 

 

Conserve Water And Still Have Quality Cleaning With Beko's SaveWater Washing Machine/Tumble Dryer Couple

 

Designed to provide water efficient and quality cleaning, the SaveWater washing machine and tumble dryer couple also have a gentler impact on the environment. 

 

The SaveWater tumble dryer feature works with compatible Beko washing machines where water collected during the drying cycle is fed directly into the washing machine to be used in the next washing cycle. 

 

Ideal for busy households, the tumble dryer feature conveniently collects up to 5.2 liters of water during each drying cycle, safely storing this to supply the washing machine with water. The innovative technology was specifically developed to solve the challenge of clean, reusable water collected in tumble dryer tanks, which is typically safe for household cleaning. 

 

The SaveWater technology conserves water sources by saving water for further use, as it is designed with water efficiently at its heart.

 

Consume Up to 30% Less Energy Than Class 'A' Energy Rating With Beko’s New Washing Machines With AquaTech Feature

 

Beko's AquaTech® Washing Machine harnesses the cleaning power of water to conserve energy while continuing to deliver quality cleaning results. 

 

The intuitive solution premixes detergent with the water used in the wash and cascades this onto fabric before cleaning, which saves power at the start of the washing machine cycle.

 

This waterfall effect enables the detergent to penetrate textiles deeply, boosting the efficiency of the power of the wash itself and helping to ensure a stellar result from a fast and gentle wash.

 

Beko's AquaTech Washing Machine also conserves energy by reducing vigorous drum movements and utilizing the powerful force of the water itself to produce clean results. 

 

The innovative AquaTech® technology enables households to benefit from fast and gentle programs and consumes up to 30% less energy than the class 'A' energy rating limit. 

 

An 8kg load of laundry could now be washed within 30 minutes, removing the need for multiple cycles and reducing the risk of textile damage from the washing.

 

So, this September, get ready to see the game-changing and environmental-friendly impact of Beko's SaveWater technology.

It is no wonder that Beko has become one of the top large home appliances brands in Europe and one of the pioneers in sustainability alongside its parent company, Arçelik. Their sustainability mission, a holistic approach to implementing innovative technologies in production to minimize environmental impact, and a way of applying environmentally packing alternatives helped them do so.

Safeguard’s SAFEwash joined forces with Manila Water Foundation (MWF) and DepEd to hold a P&G Safeguard Brigada Eskwela

 

Stepping up to ensure that minimum handwashing standards are met for the nationwide reopening of classes, Safeguard’s SAFEwash joined forces with Manila Water Foundation (MWF) and DepEd to hold a P&G Safeguard Brigada Eskwela at the National Orthopedic Hospital School for Crippled Children (NOH SCC) last August 17. 

 

“Balik Eskwela” 2022

After two years of living through the world’s most extended school closure, the Philippines finally reopens its public and private schools. 

 

The resumption of in-person classes was prompted by the challenges brought about by the “digital divide,” or the gap between individuals and their access to digital tools such as the Internet and digital-enabled services and devices. The Philippines Digital Economy Report 2020 of the National Economic Development Authority and the World Bank highlighted that this unequal access to digital resources has affected poor-performing and marginalized students.

 

To bridge this gap, DepEd's “Oplan Balik Eskwela 2022” engages partner agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders to facilitate a smooth and safe transition back to face-to-face classes.

 

Back-to-School-Ready with #SAFEWash

Helping to facilitate a successful nationwide school reopening, Safeguard partnered with DepEd and MWF to strengthen the minimum handwashing standards of schools across Metro Manila and other key areas nationwide through SAFEWash program.

 

Last August 17, this collaboration mounted a successful MWF & Safeguard Brigada Eskwela for the National Orthopedic Hospital School for Crippled Children (NOH SCC), where sinks and hand soaps were provided. 

 

The program also complemented the donations with educational modules and a tutorial session for school staff  to reinforce proper handwashing practice. P&G volunteers also participated to help refurbish the classrooms. 

 

A Huge Step Towards a Safer Normal

To-date, Safeguard’s SAFEWash has already reached 200,000+ students and school staff nationwide.

 

Celebrating this huge step towards a Safer Normal, Vice President for P&G Beauty Care and Brand Operations, Aldrich Gopal, echoed the Brand’s vision to safeguard the nation's health. “A huge thank you to our partners for helping make this happen. Together, we take this step towards a SAFER normal, directly impacting the lives of our schoolchildren and their families,” he said.

 

But while this continuing collaboration has already made great strides in ensuring health and hygiene in schools, the SAFEWash program is far from over.

 

More Helping Hands Needed

Since its launch in 2020, SAFEWash has been equipping schools win against germs and illnesses, as a support to DepEd’s WASH in Schools (WinS) program. WinS is DepEd’s three-star rating system for evaluating public schools’ over-all hygiene and sanitation, where the opportunity to create a culture of proper handwashing is strong. 

 

The project’s goal to uplift the hand hygiene rating of schools all over the Philippines, can be only achieved through sustained help and support. With your continued patronage of Safeguard, we can work hand-in-hand toward a Safer Normal, where proper handwashing culture in schools is built and promoted. After all, safeguarding the students and school staff means safeguarding the future of the nation.
