realme 10 Pro 5G SOLD OUT in just 3 minutes!

realme Philippines, the consecutive two-year champion according to Canalys 2021-2022 reports, celebrates its first big milestone for 2023 with a 3-minute sold-out record on Shopee. During the February 15 maiden selling of the realme 10 Pro 5G, the new model sold 2 units per second on average, with the initial bulk going out of stock right after the sale went live at 12MN.

“We are humbled by the overwhelming support from the realme Squad and our media partners,” says Austine Huang, VP for Marketing. “We sincerely thank the thousands of viewers who tuned in to our realme 10 Pro Series 5G launch yesterday, and we promise to match the same level of enthusiasm with everything we have lined up for 2023.”

The realme 10 Pro 5G will definitely be restocked on Shopee, in time for its end-of-month sale. Fans who missed out during the first day selling can still head over to Lazada until February 17, Friday to catch the early bird offer of only PHP 14,999. This Lazada exclusive is also at PHP 2,000 OFF the original SRP, and comes with an additional one year warranty (for a total of two years), plus a FREE Globe SIM Card with 65GB of free data.  

During the product launch last February 14, the speakers elaborated on the unique features of the realme 10 Pro 5G, such as the 1mm ultra thin side bezels made possible by RAZR Technology (Removed Adhesive Zero Resin), which allows for more compression when attaching the parts inside the smartphone, giving wider room to work with the display. This made the realme 10 Pro 5G’s Boundless Display practically thinner than the tip of a pencil, or just as thick as 3 pieces of bond paper, and even less than half the width of a 1-Peso coin.

The launch also took a deep dive into the often overlooked aspects of smartphone ownership, like overall User Experience and User Interface. It highlighted the new realme UI 4.0, which optimizes the layout, design, and functionality of the smartphone so it can suit the user better, instead of the other way around. Nifty features such as Auto Pixelate, Smart Always On Display with different presets, and even Advanced Encryption Standard for improved privacy on user’s files were highlighted so that all viewers, even those without a tech background, can better make use of the new additions.

realme’s long standing partnership with Home Credit was also given the spotlight, allowing more Filipinos to get their dream smartphone without a one-time big-time payment. The realme 10 Pro 5G is eligible for either a 6-month or a 9-month installment plan, wherein fans can #DisplayNewVision for as low as only 44 pesos a day. 

On top of its cutting-edge 120Hz Boundless Display, the realme 10 Pro 5G also comes with a 108MP ProLight Camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G Processor, 5000mAh Battery backed by a 33W SUPERVOOC Charging, Hi-Res Dual Stereo Speakers, and the new realme UI 4.0 based on Android 13 right off the box. It’s available in three colors: Dark Matter, Nebula Blue, and Hyperspace Gold.

“Spot The Real Pros” offline promo

Aside from the generous online offers, customers who purchase a realme 10 Pro 5G or any realme AIoT Device worth PHP 9,000 and up in any of the 30 participating realme Concept Stores can join the “Spot The Real Pros” retail promo, where they can get a chance to win a realme TechLife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner worth PHP 8,990.

Spend the day at home and on a budget this love month with PLDT Home

This month, we celebrate the love we express not just to our significant other but also to our families, our friends, and even ourselves.

 

While it’s nice to have a grandiose celebration, showing love doesn’t always have to break the bank. Spending quality time is one of the most luxurious ways we can show our love, no matter how or where we are. The good thing is you don’t even have to spend a lot of money to make your date memorable. While you can go out to a nice restaurant or travel, it’s also not a bad idea to spend the day at home and on a budget.

 

If you get to be together with your loved one, here are some ideas for a digital home date hacks:

 

Stream your favorite shows

You can keep it simple and stream your favorite movies and series. Binge-watching the latest movies and series, getting in the Valentine’s mood by watching romantic movies, or revisiting your classic favorites are great ways to bond.

Have a Relaxing Date

And sometimes, you just want to chill and have a quiet time together. And that’s fun, too!. There’s no better way to pass the time than to just chill and not be bothered by doing “nothing.” For some, this could mean reading your favorite e-books, explore fun online videos, join in online challenges, or whatever that will help you de-stress.   

 

Virtual Date for the LDR

If you’re not together and have to celebrate Valentine’s Day, you can also do a video call date while having a nice dinner prepared at your respective homes. Even if only virtually, it’s also a valuable way to strengthen your connection with the one you love.
