OnePlus launches the newest OnePlus 11 Concept phone at (MWC) 2023 in Barcelona, Spain


 

Global technology company OnePlus redefines industry standards with new active cooling technology - Active CryoFlux fits in an imaginative design – the newest OnePlus 11 Concept phone, announced recently at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 in Barcelona, Spain. 

 

The event also showcased the OnePlus 11 5G – the recently announced flagship which demonstrates latest co-developing technology with Qualcomm and Perfect World Games with in-built AR and ray tracing capability. 

 

“Ten years ago, we entered the industry to create products we actually wanted to use. Along the way, we grew together with our community and fans—striving to do better each day, aspiring to push the boundaries for each product. The overwhelming positive response from users is reflected in our 173% increment in sales volume of OnePlus 11 5G[1], and a testament we have been on the right path for excellence in creating a fast and smooth experience possible,” said Kinder Liu, President and COO of OnePlus. “That’s driven us to innovate on high performance and also continue to work with industry leading partners to bring the technology to life.” 


                                                      

“With our recently announced ‘1+4+X’ product strategy, we aim to expand the OnePlus ecosystem and enhance integration between devices and beyond with our portfolio of supporting products, including TVs, audio, wearables, and the newly launched tablet, and the vast array of products which can connect to OnePlus ecosystem to build a superior digital life,” 

 

Disrupting the future with forward-thinking technology – Active Cryoflux on OnePlus 11 Concept

The main feature of the OnePlus 11 Concept phone is Active Cryoflux—a game-changer in cooling technology, which can reduce the temperature up to 2.1, improving the frame rate by 3-4 fps during gameplay[2]. The Active CryoFlux can also bring the temperature down when charging by 1.6 - shaving off  30s-45s from the charging time.

 

Determined to push the limits, OnePlus miniaturized the industry-grade cooling capability of gaming PCs into a smartphone. The state-of-the-art Active CryoFlux functions with the industrial-grade ceramic piezoelectric micropumps at the center, connected to pipelines sandwiched between an upper and lower diaphragm. The micropump takes up an area less than 0.2cm2, enabling the liquid to circulate around the pipelines without significantly increasing a phone’s weight and thickness. 

 

The OnePlus 11 Concept is designed to demonstrate the possibility of Active CryoFlux in terms of aesthetics. The device evokes a futuristic aesthetic with its glass unibody, deeply curved for thinner bezel with a side pull up height of 5.04mm. And a clear rear cover delivers a mesmerizing view of the micro liquid flowing through the pipelines, which is completed with a magnetron-sputtering coating where metal and alloy are deposited in tiny amounts onto the case using an electric field. 

 

The same aesthetic is found in the camera lens. The icy-cold Active CryoFlux liquid flows through the camera in a halo, and the lens area is surrounded by Guilloché etching, a very precise decorative technique that engraves an intricate pattern. This process is used in the design of several luxury timepieces. In yet another industry first, OnePlus draws inspiration from the traditional craftsmanship of a watch, injecting a sense of fashion and artistic flair with the latest advances in technology.  

 

Elevating the entertainment experience on the OnePlus 11 5G with ray tracing technology and Snapdragon SpaceTM XR Platform

Supported by Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform, the OnePlus 11 5G comes with hardware accelerated ray tracing which is able to simulate real-time light effects. To better help audiences to experience in-game ray tracing technology, OnePlus cooperates with Perfect World Games to showcase ray tracing in the Tower of Fantasy gameplay on the OnePlus 11 5G.

 

The OnePlus 11 5G is the first Snapdragon SpacesTM ready phone, and it serves as an entry point for Snapdragon SpacesTM  XR developer program, allowing for developers to bring their XR ideas to life and explore the full potential of cutting-edge headworn AR, and unlocking a real-world experience for live concerts, films, and other exclusive events for users, and boosts the augmented reality gaming performance as a remote controller when pairing with the Snapdragon XR2 AR Wireless Smart Viewer.

 

A new sensory experience with the OnePlus’ Ecosystem at MWC 2023

 

Shape the power with OnePlus 11 5G  The OnePlus 11 5G is powered by the latest Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB ROM with UFS 4.0 that ensures maximum power with great efficiency. To further bolster performance, OnePlus 11 5G comes with RAM-Vita. With support for 100W SUPERVOOC Endurance Edition, the OnePlus 11 5G allows users to spend less time tethered to an outlet and more time using the device the way they want to. The OnePlus 11 5G sports a 6.7-inch 2K 120Hz Super Fluid AMOLED Display with LTPO 3.0.

 

The core of the camera setup is a 50MP IMX890 sensor with an optical image stabilizer (OIS) for steady shots. Supplementing the main camera are a 115° 48MP ultra-wide camera and an IMX709 32MP portrait lens. The collaboration between OnePlus and Hasselblad continues with the latest OnePlus 11 5G. The brand-new Natural Color Calibration with Hasselblad feature on OnePlus 11 5G delivers industry-leading color science. Moreover, a 13-channel multi-spectral sensor for light-color identification has been introduced on the OnePlus 11 5G for wider spectral analysis of light.

 

Immerse with OnePlus Buds Pro 2 - Designed in collaboration with industry-renowned partners, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 takes audio quality to new heights with cinema-worthy sound, intuitive features and a sleek look. As the first earbuds to offer spatial audio stability and compatibility for Android users, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 sets a new industry standard. Co-created with Dynaudio, OnePlus Buds Pro 2 enables users to immerse themselves in the studio-recording settings with its MelodyBoostTM  Dual Drivers, picking up high and low frequencies with its 11mm woofer and 6mm tweeter. 

 

Hands on with OnePlus Pad – OnePlus’ first flagship tablet has an elegant and purposeful design using its self-developed Star Orbit metal craft for maximum comfort with ergonomic design. OnePlus Pad is powered by the Dimensity 9000 chipset, the first mobile chip to sport a Cortex-X2 core clocked at up to 3.05GHz. To enhance the superior efficiency and multi-tasking capability, OnePlus Pad comes with up to 12GB RAM, working together with RAM-VITA, enabling up to 24 applications alive in the background at the same time.  Coming with a 9510mAh battery,  OnePlus Pad ensures over 12.4 hours of video watching and 1-month standby life.

 

Chill with OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler  The OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler is a semiconductor-based Thermo Electric Cooler that delivers enhanced cooling experience. With its innovative semiconductor water-cooling architecture, the OnePlus 45W Liquid Cooler reduces the temperature of a working device by up to 20°C and can immediately enter safe mode - switching itself off to avoid damage if needed.

BINI is the newest celebrity ambassadors of Modess


 

Modess recently launched the all-new Modess Long, while simultaneously unveiling BINI as their newest ambassadors.  BINI is a rising all-girl P-Pop group in the Philippines and they are the perfect partner as a lot of teen girls look up to them as this generation’s idols.  

 

In the latest Modess commercial, BINI shared the importance of having Modess Long as a reliable period partner during red days. This is especially true as the world is now opening—teen girls are back having face-to-face classes, meeting in person to hang out with their friends, and making beautiful memories together.  With its fastest absorbing long pad, Modess aims to inspire and encourage teen girls to be more confident as they go out and to let go of the concerns and worries that come with having their period.

 

“We are very excited to have BINI as our newest ambassadors for Modess. These girls embody what it truly means to be a Modess girl—inspiring, confident, and brave. These are attributes that we want every teen girl to possess, and we do not want their period to hinder them in achieving their goals and dreams,” Alexandra Burgos, brand manager for Modess, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health Philippines.

 

Aiah, Sheena, Maloi, Colet, Stacey, Gwen, Mikha, and Jhoanna are equally ecstatic to be the newest addition to the Modess family. When asked what they are excited about in their journey with Modess, Aiah, one of the group members shared, “We’re really looking forward in being more open about our period journey with our fans. In a way, we hope that we can encourage our fans to choose the perfect long pad, especially now that we are all starting to go out more. We want to inspire them that they can be confident to move more with Modess Long even when they have their period.” Mikha, another member of the group, added that it is extra challenging to be a teen, especially when you have your period in this post-pandemic era, “Mas mahirap talaga ngayong for us girls lalo na lumalabas na tayo ng mas madalas. Dati, puro online o virtual meet-ups lang sa bahay. Ngayon, siyempre na-miss natin makipag kita sa friends, ang tagal natin hindi nakapanood ng live concerts, o kaya mag-aral sa classrooms. Ngayon, mas nakakatakot na kung may duda ka sa sanitary pad na suot mo kasi nasa labas ka na. That’s why we are very happy to be a part of the Modess family—dahil #WalangDudaWithModessLong.” 

 

 “The all-new Modess Long is the fastest absorbing pad, now made*longer! This is perfect for teen girls and GenZers’s lifestyle, since they’re more active and they are braver in going out and engaging in activities they missed the past two years. Kaya naman, wala na talagang duda kahit may period with Modess Long,” added Alexandra Burgos, brand manager for Modess, Johnson & Johnson Consumer Health Philippines.

 

Modess Long is available in leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide. You can also get your favorite Modess products online through the official Johnson & Johnson Lazada and Shopee pages.

Brittany Sta. Rosa: Where English Countryside Meets Contemporary

In one of the most progressive cities in the South, a luxurious community serves up an exquisite fusion of opulence, contemporary allure, and rustic, old-world charm.

The 300-hectare Brittany Sta. Rosa—a master-planned community of themed enclaves and exclusive residences in Sta. Rosa, Laguna—aptly metes out an opportunity to enjoy modern spaces with the grandeur of a luxurious respite and the warmth of the rustic countryside. It's a delicate balance that Brittany Corporation, the luxury residential arm of the country's largest homebuilder, Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc., has lucidly created, as seen in the luxurious residential enclaves that currently make up Brittany Sta. Rosa.

'Charming destinations'

Georgia Club and Augusta, named after some of the world's most charming destinations, are nestled on a natural landscape with decades-old trees home to endemic bird species. Offering lot cuts ranging from 300 to 500 square meters, these exclusive neighborhoods will allow residents to come home to English gardens and Georgian colonial houses while enjoying the highly sought proximity to nature.

These enclaves are surrounded, too, by lavishly appointed leisure amenities, lush parks, and forests, as well as breathtaking vistas, ensuring that residents get the high life they deserve—that is, a lifestyle steeped in elegance, exclusivity, and convenience.

Old American South

Offering a fine rendition of the Old American South, the 15-hectare Georgia Club serves as a sanctuary inspired by the luxury and gentility of the state of Georgia.

This US state showcases splendid mansions and plantation homes that marked an era of unbridled wealth enjoyed by the southern states in the 1800s. These old homes displayed intricate architectural details such as wrap-around porches, gabled roofs, shuttered French windows, and rope swings.

Such elegance is reflected by Georgia Club, where glamour meets eccentric English accents. This enclave is an idyllic English mix of the old and new, complete with grand sash windows that combine tradition with modernity and simple yet elegant facades with gracious classical proportions and symmetry. Add to that its cultivated gardens, The Peachtree Clubhouse and Daisy Park, which serve up a slice of the countryside in high style.

An English landscape 

The 15-hectare Augusta, for example, brings you a beautiful mix of the Colonial American neighborhood that has a private and secure setting and the traditional English countryside, where you have well-manicured gardens and sweeping lawns.

 

While imbued with layers of old-world charm, Augusta offers modern recreational options for residents, such as a well-equipped gymnasium, jogging trails with magnificent landscape views, a swimming pool, and a multi-purpose court.
 

It's no surprise that the 394 lots comprising Augusta were quickly snapped up after its launch. After all, with a custom home site development, residents are accorded the liberty and flexibility to create the luxurious home of their dreams.

 

Progressive city

As it is, Georgia Club, Augusta, and the other neighborhoods in Brittany Sta. Rosa already offers unparalleled opporunities to live a high life amid a peaceful countryside, nature-filled setting.

But Brittany Sta. Rosa is also located in a thriving, progressive city known as the "Lion City of the South" and "U-belt of the South," further bodes well for the residents.

 Its enviable location places residents at the heart of the action—touting proximity to commercial establishments like the Vista Mall Sta. Rosa, offices, and industrial parks offer them potential business, employment, and leisure opportunities. Nearby premium universities ensure access to quality education, while hospitals will be an assurance for residents of Brittany Sta. Rosa that medical help is accessible.

Golf enthusiasts also find themselves drawn to Brittany Sta. Rosa, as it is near two championship golf courses—the 27-hole Sta. Elena Golf and Country Club, designed by American golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., and the 18-hole Country Club, designed by professional golfer Tom Weiskopf.

More importantly, Brittany Sta. Rosa is near major roads and key infrastructure that will allow residents to reach Tagaytay City in just 30 minutes and the Makati central business district in only 40 minutes—thanks to easy access to thoroughfares such as the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) and the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAx).

Brittany Sta. Rosa is indeed an aspiration—a pursuit of a beautiful home steeped in modern grandeur, exclusivity, and countryside charm.

LaLiga is treating football enthusiasts in the country with the El Derbi de Madrid Watch Party


 

As a treat to the Filipino fans and in-time for the most anticipated Madrid Derby or El Derbi de Madrid, LaLiga, one of the world’s renowned sports leagues, is treating football enthusiasts in the country with the El Derbi de Madrid Watch Party this Saturday, February 25.

The blockbuster game will be a clash between LaLiga’s top teams who currently have no margin of error on each side. A continuation of a hard-fought derby, this game will set its players and fans alike to remember how tight and close the previous duel was with Real Madrid edged Atlético de Madrid with a 3-1 score.

The Madrid Derby, a special football fixture in the history of LaLiga, will once again highlight the century-old history of rivalry between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid in an attempt to defeat one another. Rooted as a rivalry between Madrid Football Club and Athletic Club Madrid in the early 1900s, two teams first faced off in 2014 for the UEFA Champions League final game.  Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid were the first two clubs from the same city to compete in the championship.

Atlético de Madrid is known for their resilience, especially since Diego Simeone is on the bench. The Argentinian coach will reach at El Derbi de Madrid his 425th match in LaLiga for the Colchoneros club, becoming the coach with most matches for a single club in the history of LaLiga, breaking Miguel Muñoz’ record for Real Madrid (424). Meanwhile, Real Madrid was the champion of LaLiga Santander and UEFA Champions League last season, and it’s considered one of the most in-form teams nowadays with players such as Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior, Modric or Nacho.

The derby will also showcase the clash between two of the world's best goalkeepers with Thibaut Courtois and Jan Oblak proving who has the best goals against one another this season.

In partnership with M88, LaLiga is also bringing its ambassador and former Atlético de Madrid former player Tiago Mendes for a night full of football high spirits. Gates open at 10:30 PM this Saturday, February 25 at Mansion Sports Bar & Lounge in Makati. The watch party entrance is free on a first-come first-served basis with games, raffles and the chance to meet LaLiga star Tiago Mendes until the game kicks-off at 1:30 AM, February 26. 

The watch party is among the initiatives of LaLiga to further promote football in the country and rev up the passion of Filipino football enthusiasts.

With the hope to expand the local football community in the Philippines, LaLiga continues to invest in the potential of Filipino football, especially for the youth who excel in this sport.

“We are seeing how the interest for LaLiga and our clubs is growing in the Philippines and especially now is a great time for football in the Philippines, a sport where Filipinos have a great potential. With events like this Watch Party we want to bring the emotion of LaLiga closer to all our Filipino fans”, said LaLiga Delegate to the Philippines Almudena Gomez.
