Galaxy Z Flip4 offers a full smartphone experience that folds into half the size for compact pocketability


Personal needs, styles and preferences constantly evolve in today’s modern world. As such, customers deserve devices that can go with the flow: smart mobile experiences that are as diverse and adaptable as the users themselves. The newly launched Galaxy Z Flip4 is exactly that kind of device, fine-tuned to express its user’s style through its design, features and even angles. Equipped with an iconic form factor that can be positioned at different degrees to unlock a trove of innovative features, this is a smartphone designed to deliver the most personalized experience.

Samsung Newsroom has put together this guide for users, breaking down every angle to showcase how Galaxy Z Flip4’s unique form factor provides tailored user experiences, inside and out.

 

 0 degree: Unlock the Full Potential of the Cover Screen

Galaxy Z Flip4 offers a full smartphone experience that folds into half the size for compact pocketability. Even when folded, it fits smoothly in users’ pockets. What’s more, plenty of its diverse features are even optimized to be used without flipping it open. For instance, with Quick Setting, you can turn on and off airplane mode or flashlight and easily adjust the screen’s brightness. Easily reply to messages, make a call or access your Samsung Wallet[1] — all from Z Flip4’s 1.9-inch Cover Screen. You can even easily pick the widgets you want to use right on the Cover Screen, making the Z Flip series even more convenient and accessible.

By simply pressing the side button twice, you can activate Quick Shot. This feature allows users to take high-resolution selfies by using the main cameras of Z Flip4 right from the Cover Screen. With the enhanced Quick Shot that now supports a preview on the Cover Screen reflecting the actual photo ratio as well as Portrait Mode, you can snap top-quality photos whenever and wherever you are. You can even use the closed Z Flip4 as a mirror to quickly check your look before heading out.

75 degrees: Craft Your Own Photoshoot Experience With FlexCam

Capture photos and videos from different points of view with bolder angles than ever before with Z Flip4. With FlexCam, you can use your Galaxy Z Flip4 cameras at different folded angles, opening up a broad range of new perspectives never before possible on conventional smartphones — giving you more control than ever over your selfies.

The high-resolution main cameras and the Cover Screen photo previews do more than enable great selfies. These features can work together with Z Flip4’s wide spectrum of angles to provide dynamic, full-body shots, transforming your smartphone into an adjustable tripod that fits right in your pocket. Take total control of your image and get stylish, flattering angles without needing to carry around accessories or ask others to take photos for you. You can even angle Z Flip4 at 75 degrees and place it on the ground for bold, stylistic shots that wouldn’t be out of place on the cover of a fashion magazine.

Out with friends and want to take a group photo? With Z Flip4, nobody needs to be left out. Just place your device at the angle you want on a nearby surface and strike your poses. FlexCam lets you trigger the camera by holding up your palm, all without needing to press a button on the camera itself. The shutter sound lets you know your photo has been successfully taken. Take camera timers and random pleas to strangers out of the equation for natural group photos without the hassle.

90 degrees: Camera Features That Power Content Creation and Versatile Photography

Today, more users than ever are creating and enjoying short-form video content, like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, and Galaxy Z Flip4 is the perfect companion for it. Designed with the preferences of Millennials and Generation Z in mind, Z Flip4 allows you to conveniently create online content. For example, you can take a vlog using the high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode and then seamlessly switch to Flex mode to continue recording hands-free — all without ever stopping the video.

For handheld shots, Galaxy Z Flip4 can be held like a camcorder. Soon, users can also try out bird’s eye view photos by holding up the smartphone while folded at 90 degrees.

Z Flip4 is also perfect for capturing nighttime scenes when out for an atmospheric evening walk. Z Flip4 is equipped with a 65% brighter image sensor than its previous generation, enabling high-quality nighttime photos, even when the sky is pitch-black. The Nightography mode is optimized for using the camera in these conditions and minimizes the washed-out, blurry effect that is used to make nighttime photography harder to achieve. Now you can get bright, sharp photos with less image noise.

115 degrees: Divide Up Your Screen Space to Suit Your Multitasking[2] Needs

With its fourth generation, the Z Flip series has taken its Flex mode to the next level with further enhanced features. Z Flip4 adds a touchpad within Flex mode that lets you control the mouse cursor for pausing, rewinding or playing videos without picking up the device.

Multitasking is also more intuitive and easier to activate, thanks to new swipe gestures. Simply swipe up on the screen with two fingers to split your screen in half or swipe to the middle from top two corners to instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows. With multi-window, you can watch a film on the top screen while taking notes on the bottom screen, all while chatting with friends on a message thread and planning your route to meet them simultaneously.

180 degrees: The Ultimate Self-Expression Tool With an Array of Colors and Combinations

Our smartphones can play a big role in expressing our individuality, and Galaxy Z Flip4 is no exception — you can complement your style with premium design in legacy colors, including Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold and Blue. With the slimmer hinge, refined edges, contrasting haze back glass and glossy metal frames, the new design is our most refined yet.


The Cover Screen is the focal point of Z Flip4’s surface: it is the part of the phone that gets the most exposure and acts as a window into its user’s personality. For instance, comprehensive display customization options include the ability to change the backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs and now even video on the Cover Screen. You can take advantage of Z Flip4’s various creative camera features to craft the perfect Cover Screen background, then add the clock style of your choice from the expanded list of clock designs to complete the picture.

From the moment you open up Galaxy Z Flip4, a new experience in mobile technology unfolds right in front of you. From 0 to 180 degrees, it’s a panoramic device designed to fit perfectly with your unique lifestyle.

APL GO raises the bar on food supplements


 

“Health is wealth” is a cliché that has been around for decades. With the emergence of sicknesses and unexpected health concerns due to the pandemic, the direct correlation between the two has never been more emphasized than now. First, a healthy body enables people to live their lives to the fullest – giving them the energy to pursue their goals, dreams, and spend time with their loved ones. Second, it shields them from financial ruin by paying hefty medical bills and other potential hospital expenses. 

 

Although these points are widely known, there is still a lot to discuss when it comes to what it really means to have a healthy body and achieve optimal well-being. 

 

Go-to partner for a healthier lifestyle 


With people bouncing back from laying low to being on-the-go to do what they need to do, self-care, wellness, active lifestyle, and healthy diet have all become part of the top priorities to keep them energized, fit, conditioned, and most importantly protected from possible illnesses and conditions. 

 

But with so many things going on – balancing a job, training for an exam, watching the kids, traveling and so on – the challenges of keeping up while staying healthy are not an easy feat. 

 

APL GO, a global multi level networking company that specializes in health and wellness knows this for a fact as it introduces its “Life on the Go” campaign which aims to empower and equip Filipinos to make healthier lifestyle choices and change their lives for the better. 

 

Over the past 8 years, APL GO has been successfully manufacturing and distributing its unique lozenge drops across North America, Europe, and Central Asia. The demand and success of food supplements led the company to market in the Philippines as it continues with its mission to become the game changer in the nutraceutical space and meet the evolving needs of the consumers to help them achieve their goals by becoming healthy and productive individuals. 

 

Delicious candy-like lozenge drops

 

An individual’s body needs proper care to be able to function at its best throughout the day. Aside from nutrition, regular exercise, and enough sleep, it also needs support which can come in different forms – 

positive reinforcement, a healthy environment, and a stable support system. These are just some of the things that the body needs to thrive, but with the fast-paced demand of today’s world, an additional boost to stay healthy and protected– in a quick, easy and convenient way is a much-needed necessity. 

 

“APL GO’s lozenges are unique candy-like food supplements made from whole food, natural fruits, berries, and plants. They are designed to support a healthy diet and exercise while delivering fast acting phytonutrients to the cells of the body – from supporting natural immune response vitality, stamina and strength, digestive processes, and so much more,” said Kauri Thompson, General Manager of APL GO International. 

 

The innovative drops are made from the company’s revolutionary Acumullit SA technology which conserves essential nutrients and properties of the natural ingredients and botanical particles – making them absorbable like candies. Moreover, the components are processed under a turbulent airflow of negatively charged particles. As a result, the components get additional energy and the most biologically active substances which are released from the plants. 

 

“Whatever age or lifestyle, our plant-based all natural lozenge drops are safe to consume with no risk of overdose, '' said Bryan Plazo, Vice President, Business Development, APL GO Philippines.” With people becoming more and more active and on-the-go, APL GO aims to be the go-to partner to help them reach their personal goals, support them in their health and wellness activities, and overall help them achieve optimal health and well-being,” he added.   

 

APL GO carries over 15 different all-natural lozenge drops which are highly concentrated with over 80 superfoods and 1000 phytonutrients. From the convenience of easy consumption up to giving the body exactly what it needs, APL GO is the on-the-go partner, caring for your health and wellness goals – keeping you on the move and living your life on the go.

Paolo’s latest offering is called “Liquid Courage”

 

It's been a memorable 2022 for Paolo Sandejas. After releasing a couple of singles earlier this year, he had a notable career milestone after V of BTS recognized and included his song “Sorry” on his road trip playlist. He also had his first-ever solo mall show, numerous interviews, media appearances, features, and gigs. Paolo even opened for British duo Oh Wonder during their Karpos Live concert last month and joined the ranks of Sarah Geronimo and Zack Tabudlo as performers at the iPhone 14 Midnight Launch earlier this month.

 

And since he’s a natural singer-songwriter, he’s slated to drop another single for his fans to enjoy and venture forth towards new heights. Paolo’s latest offering is called “Liquid Courage”, a feel-good song that describes that feeling of unease when you’re contemplating if you’re going to go all in and make the first move because you’ll surely regret it if you don’t. Would you want to lose that special person or you’ll take the risk even if you’re daunted? 

 

True to the wide scope of his unquestioned creativity, this single is produced by Paolo himself, along with Fern. and Kindred.

 

“Liquid Courage is about getting the courage to tell the person you love how you feel. More often than not, we tend to pretend we don’t care to save face and “play the game”. Liquid courage is all call to action to say how you feel and take that risk,” Paolo shares.

 

The young singer-songwriter also wants to share a cool trivia on how he was able to finish writing this song. Did you know that the whole idea of “Liquid Courage” is based on an anime that he enjoyed watching?

 

Paolo explains, “I actually wrote the song after finishing an anime where the two protagonists are in that exact situation where they like each other but no one does anything about it because of pride and fear of being rejected.”

 

“It really inspired me and It’s probably one of my favorite anime of all time,” he adds. In case his fans are wondering, this anime is the 2019 hit romantic series Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

 

So… take a sip of “Liquid Courage” from Paolo Sandejas and figure things out if you’re going to confess or not.

 

This single is part of Spotify’s New Music Friday Philippines and Apple Music’s Absolute OPM Apple Original Pilipino Music playlists and is out now on other digital streaming platforms.

 

 

Real-life sisters share their story and ventured into LG Commercial Laundry business


With any business, the foundation of trust is important. You have to believe your employees, your partners, and of course, the products or services you’re providing. It’s crucial that you can stand behind the product wholeheartedly because if trust erodes, it will be almost impossible to repair. 

This foundation of trust is how sisters Claire and Minette started the successful Maxi Clean Laundromat chain in the province of Bulacan. Before everything else, they looked for a business partner that they already know and can rely on. Minette gives her own experience with LG washing machines as an example. “We chose LG because we have an LG washing machine at home that we’ve been using for ten years already. When we started the business, we went for machines that we know are reliable.”

Claire and Minette Cruz, owners of Maxi Clean Laundromat

Manny Villagracia, Minette’s husband, handles the technical side of things of the business and is all smiles with how he can manage the machines remotely. “I can diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor the day to day operations and even assist our laundry care experts to troubleshoot the machine anytime anywhere.” And it’s not just Manny who is happy with the LG Commercial Machines’ wi-fi capabilities. With the Laundry Lounge app, customers can reserve the machines, monitor their laundry, and even do contactless payment with the touch of a button. This gives customers the freedom to choose which machines they want with the specific time span they need. Manny shares how important this feature is. “LG empowers your customer base as if it's their own machine. (It gives them) power at their fingertips”. 


When asked about their experience about starting a laundry business, their common answer boils down to trust. You have to find a brand to be your partner for the long run. Minette underscores this point, saying “Choose a brand you can trust because they will deliver in their promise of helping your business.”

Shouldn’t you upgrade your kitchen, specifically your refrigerator next? With so many new features in refrigerators being introduced left and right, you might be wondering – what features do you elevate your refrigerator? 

 

Remember that no matter how many hi-tech features a brand-new refrigerator offers, if it consumes so much electricity, well, it is not exactly an upgrade.  This is why you should switch to an inverter refrigerator. An inverter ref lets you enjoy all the latest cooling solutions and features while keeping your electricity bills low. How? Simply put, an inverter ref’s compressor runs at a low but steady speed to always keep the ref temperature constant at all times and consistently preserve the freshness of the contents in the ref. Unlike conventional refs, its compressor does not start and stop which is a power consuming process so your electricity consumption is greatly reduced. How’s that for a real upgrade? 




 

Once you’ve decided to get an inverter ref, the next step is to look for qualities that match your family’s needs and lifestyle. Toshiba Lifestyle Solutions, a world leader in home solutions, lists down three important features you should look for in an inverter refrigerator. Toshiba is a premium brand from Japan that embodies the Takumi Spirit which emphasizes craftsmanship, precision, and perfection. Check out these pointers when looking for a ref to match your family’s premium and modern lifestyle.

 

Not all inverter refs are created equal.  There is a more premium option which is the  dual inverter feature. The Toshiba French Door 18 cu ft. refrigerator has a Dual Inverter Technology that combines an inverter compressor with an inverter fan to significantly improve energy efficiency for precision and consistency. Its Humidity Control System lets you switch the humidity in its different compartments to keep fresh produce crisp, fruits juicy, moist, and even meats chilled and prepped for cooking without being frozen solid. How’s that for customized refrigeration? What’s more, this fridge also has an Alloy Cooling Technology for quicker dissipation of heat while cooling the fridge faster, and in a uniform manner so food stays fresh longer. All these functions while helping you save on electricity costs! Not only that - this fridge also offers maximized capacity for it is built to meet the daily needs of a big family of 6!

 

The centerpiece of your modern kitchen. Your ref is the focal point of a kitchen that’s why it should complement your family’s premium lifestyle. The Toshiba Multi-Door T Type 22 cu ft refrigerator is one ref that exudes class and elegance with its seamless design and heartfelt details without compromising quality and convenience.   This ref is the perfect combination of style and function – it has a sleek look and features multiple features that function independently from one another, each compartment offers the right amount of cold air and the option to be switched on and off to keep food fresher, for longer.

This fridge conveniently enables proper, easier, and maximum storage for families with up to 6 capacity too!  You can alter temperatures from a Deep Freeze mode (-18 C) to a Normal Fridge mode (up to +7C), depending on what your family needs at the moment.  Worried that bacteria might be lurking inside the ref because of all the raw food inside? No worries, this ref has the Plasma Pure ionizer sterilization technology that produces electrons and ions to prevent the growth of bacteria inside to keep your food odor-free, pure, and hygienic – ensuring the safety, good health, and well-being of your whole family.

 

The size that fits. As much as it’s important to have a fridge that’s spacious and big enough to store food properly, it has to be the right size to fit your kitchen. A great option is the Toshiba 7.0 cu ft. Two-Door Refrigerator Inverter.  This fridge has a 12L Crisper Box store a lot of food and product and keep them fresh, because it regulates optimal humidity for longer-lasting freshness - perfect as well for families up to 4.
