POCO encapsulates the power the new-generation tech enthusiasts look for in one brand

If one could encapsulate the power that new-generation tech enthusiasts look for in one brand, it would be POCO.

 

An independent brand from the Xiaomi Corporation, POCO has established itself as a global consumer technology brand as it entered more than 35 international markets in just three years. Its philosophy is “Everything you need, nothing you don’t,” which was built on its commitment to providing innovative technology and user-friendly experiences that empower consumers.

 

During the local launch event of the POCO F5 Series last May 10, POCO Head of Marketing Angus Ng met with guests to talk about how the brand grew in the Philippines and also gave a rundown of its newest “hyper powered” smartphone line.

Angus Ng, POCO Head of Marketing, gives an insightful look into the brand’s commitment to putting out high-quality products

Resonating with the Filipino market

In the Philippines, many people are loyal to certain smartphone brands, which becomes a challenge for market newcomers to gain the trust of potential fans. According to Ng, POCO took this as an opportunity to build trust in the Filipino market by giving them what they needed and were looking for in a smartphone.

 

POCO also partnered with local retailers and e-commerce platforms to increase its visibility and make itself more accessible to the wider Filipino market. The smartphones also come in a range of competitively priced options that appeal to budget-conscious customers who are looking for high-end features.

 

“All these contributed to the warm acceptance of the Filipino consumers since our launch of POCO F1, where we were able to sell 2,000 units in 30 minutes on its first day of sale,” said Ng.

 

“POCO has made significant strides in establishing itself as one of the most promising smartphone brands in the Philippines and Southeast Asian markets in a relatively short period,” he added. “Today, POCO is continuously the best-selling smartphone brand in e-commerce platforms in the country.”

Ensuring quality in every POCO smartphone

POCO takes several steps to ensure that it’s putting out a high-quality product, taking into account the latest technological trends and smartphone users’ needs. Ng explained that the brand conducts extensive market research, analyzes market data, and even collaborates with industry experts and partners to gather feedback and insight.

 

“POCO’s user-centric approach means involving our community in the design and development of our products,” he said.

 

This commitment to quality is evident in every flagship series that the brand releases. The latest POCO F5 Series is a testament to this as it boasts unparalleled speed and powerful charging. Both the F5 and F5 Pro are equipped with high-end Snapdragon® processors, AMOLED displays with high refresh rate, and large battery capacity.

 

“The POCO F5 Series distinguishes itself from earlier POCO products and other smartphone brands in the market with its innovative and exciting new features,” said Ng. He added that this series would make a great gaming phone because of its power and speed, and a superior camera phone thanks to its advanced imaging capabilities.

 

“[We’ve made] significant improvements to design and build quality, ensuring that they not only perform well but also look and feel premium.”

Smart partners with McDonald’s Philippines to provide students with a safe and conducive learning space outside their schools

For the third year, PLDT wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) teamed up with McDonald’s Philippines in its thrust to provide students with a safe and conducive learning space outside their schools, this time by opening its doors to the 'Night Classroom' in 60 participating stores nationwide.  

The 'McDonald’s Night Classroom' is a continuation of the McDonald's Classroom initiative which started in 2020, wherein approximately 250 unused party rooms were converted into spaces for teachers and students to conduct their virtual classes and fulfill their online learning needs.  

Now that schools have reopened, McDonald’s Philippines tweaked the project to cater to those who need a safe and suitable place to do their homework, review, and do research online beyond school hours. 

Worry-free online learning experience 

In support of the project, Smart provided free WiFi access via Smart WiFi installations in McDonald’s stores, and Smart Bro Pocket WiFi units in other participating venues. This allowed Night Classroom participants to connect online and make the most of the Philippines' fastest and best mobile network, as recognized by Ookla, the global leader in mobile and network broadband intelligence. 

Powered by Smart, McDonald’s Night Classroom participants enjoyed a worry-free online learning experience – through accessing the internet and being able to upload and download heavy files in seconds, surf the web for information in an instant, and stream instructional videos without buffering. 

Over 40,000 McDonald's Night Classroom participants 

From its launch on March 28 until May 31, the McDonald's Night Classroom project benefited over 40,000 participants at 60 McDonald's branches nationwide, making a positive impact on the life of teachers and students. 

“McDonald’s has always been a safe and trusted space to create feel-good moments for all—whether you’re a family celebrating a birthday, an employee getting their coffee fix before work, or a student looking for a place to pull an all-nighter. Students have already been treating McDonald’s as their go-to place for meetings or study sessions, so the McDonald’s Night Classroom is our special way of supporting them with their schoolwork,” said Oliver Rabatan, McDonald's Philippines Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. 

“We recognize the huge role of mobile technology in making education more accessible and bringing the world of learning to one’s fingertips. This partnership allowed us to work hand in hand to create connected and safe spaces for learning and help students and teachers achieve academic success. It's our pleasure to provide free WiFi access at McDonald's Night Classrooms nationwide for uninterrupted work and study sessions," said Anton Agustin, Smart AVP and Head for Consumer WiFi & Mobile Advertising. 

Philippines’ Fastest and Best Mobile Network  

Smart is the first and only Philippine mobile operator to win Ookla’s Best Mobile Network award in Q1-Q2 2022 and Q3-Q4 2022 . To get this rare and prestigious recognition, Smart won both the Fastest Mobile Network and Best Mobile Coverage awards within the same reporting periods.
