realme 12 Pro Series Unveiled Flagship Periscope Telephoto lens

realme joined Qualcomm at CES 2024 to introduce its periscope technology

realme officially announced at its 2024 media preview event in Las Vegas that the realme 12 Pro Series will include a flagship periscope telephoto lens. The event attendees got a firsthand look at the upcoming realme 12 Pro Series as the fastest-growing smartphone brand in the globe showcased its advanced periscope telephoto technology and luxury watch design, with some suggesting it could be the leading imaging phone in its category.

Following the recently issued open letter from realme's founder and CEO, Sky Li, announcing that 2024 will be the year of rebranding, the company also unveiled its new slogan: Make it real. This media event marked realme's initial official communication following its rebranding. As the slogan repositions realme as a tech brand that better understands young users, the realme number series is also set to be positioned as the future of Next-gen Imaging.

Empowering Young Users with Next-gen Imaging Through The Flagship Periscope Telephoto Lens

According to research done by realme, there is a forthcoming preference among young users for telephoto lenses with 3X zoom or more, rather than just 2X. To enable high zoom levels in slim phones, a periscope telephoto is the sole viable choice. 

While this technology calls for high costs and technical challenges usually reserved for flagship smartphones, realme is committed to bridge this gap by making flagship-exclusive periscope telephoto technology that is available to a wider audience of young users.

In line with this, realme has developed a proprietary periscope telephoto formula to ensure top-quality imaging under various conditions, first introduced in the realme GT5 Pro launched globally in November 2023. This formula has positioned the realme GT5's telephoto performance at the forefront of the industry. The upcoming realme 12 Pro Series will adopt the same approach, integrating a leading sensor size, a high-performance platform, and an advanced algorithm to achieve superior imaging performance.

The Next-gen Telephoto and Sensor: Best Periscope In The Segment

realme 12 Pro Series enhances night shot clarity and stability while minimizing flare and ghosting. This is achieved through a unique combination of prism tilt OIS, Sub-Wavelength Structure Coating, and a Wave Pattern Lens Shade. These technologies were introduced in the GT5 Pro. Additionally, the realme 12 Pro Series leads its class in telephoto capabilities, offering up to 120X digital zoom. It will also feature a 3X Portrait Mode with a 71mm golden portrait focal length, creating a naturally shallow depth of field perfect for portraits. 

In terms of sensor, the realme 12 Pro Series boasts the segment's largest periscope telephoto sensor. It features the OV64B flagship sensor that outshines competitors and matches other top-tier flagships. With a 1/2-inch size, it's over twice as large as the telephoto sensor in the iPhone 15 Pro. Thanks to its larger aperture and light intake, the realme 12 Pro Series' telephoto lens is nearly three times more light-sensitive than that of the iPhone 15 Pro.

The Next-gen Lossless Zoom: Flagship Full-Focal-Length Lossless Zoom Imaging Capability

realme 12 Pro Series comes with Sony IMX890 OIS main camera which enhances night-time photography with its 1/1.56'' large sensor, a 24mm equivalent focal length, and a wide f/1.8 Aperture. With OIS support, it excels in providing stable video recording and optimizing the success rate of photos. Moreover, the realme 12 Pro Series is equipped with a periscope telephoto and ultra wide-angle camera to offer lossless zoom at 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x, providing a full-focal-length lossless zoom photographic experience comparable to that of a flagship device.

The Next-gen Algorithm: Exclusive Customization of The MasterShot Algorithm 

In collaboration with Qualcomm, realme has enhanced its image processing with the MasterShot Algorithm. The realme 12 Pro Series is the first and only device in its segment to process RAW domains, ensuring top clarity, dynamic range, and realism in cinematic portraits The next-generation omni-focal MasterShot Algorithm is a flagship-level architecture that offers the industry's most advanced computational photography. It integrates the LightFusion Engine for enhanced clarity and tone, plus the NightEye Engine for superior night photography. The Series also allows effortless capture of striking portraits with its unique movie portrait filter.

Partnered with The International Luxury Watch Designer to Create Luxury Watch Design

Along with the flagship image, realme also has collaborated with Ollivier Savéo, the international luxury watch design master, to create luxury watch design for the realme 12 Pro Series. This aims to offer young people Next-gen Imaging experiences and stylishly designed products.

Renowned for his leadership in high-end watch and jewelry groups, Ollivier Savéo has previously collaborated with prestigious Swiss watch brands, including Rolex, Roger Dubuis, Piaget, Breitling, and Quentin. His expertise has played a pivotal role in the creation of luxury watch design that elevates the realme 12 Pro Series to new heights of sophistication.

Taking inspiration from classic luxury watches, realme and Ollivier Savéo embarked on a journey to deconstruct their design and craftsmanship. This resulted in the infusion of refined elements into the industrial design of the realme 12 Pro Series, redefining the concept of luxury watch design.

• Golden Fluted Bezel: Crafted using CNC machine cutting, the Golden Fluted Bezel achieves a 360° luxury watch level precision texture with 300 meticulously designed metal lines.

• Polished Sunburst Dial: The Polished Sunburst Dial showcases a light cone texture and gradient UV texture seamlessly blended to present over 500 sunburst patterns interwoven with light and shadow.

• Premium Vegan Leather: The use of the latest silicone materials results in a silky feel and dirt-resistant Premium Vegan Leather, combining high-end aesthetics with practicality.

• 3D Jubilee Bracelet: Featuring three-dimensional rhomboid precision splicing, the 3D Jubilee Bracelet creates a metallic strap texture that adds a touch of luxury to the realme 12 Pro Series.

The realme 12 Pro Series is set to launch globally in January. However, realme has yet to announce its arrival to the Philippines. Make sure to follow realme PH Facebook page at http://facebook.com/realmePhilippines or visit the official realme website at https://www.realme.com/ph/ to learn more.

A Powerful Processor for Seamless Gameplay

A reliable, quality processor allows a smartphone to deliver a solid, all-around performance for everyday use. It ensures that the device is capable of smooth multitasking and worry-free gaming sessions.

 

The OPPO A98 5G is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset that ensures exceptional performance and power efficiency, meaning even the most demanding games run smoothly without lag or hiccups.  “Personally, happy ako to have this OPPO A98 5G because I need a smartphone that has good performance and walang lag lalo na when I am playing mobile games.

Immersive Display that Brings Games and Visuals to Life

The display enhances the overall smartphone experience because it adds next-level excitement and intensity to the games and apps being used. Wise notes the significance of this feature for mobile gaming, “Kapag naglalaro na kami, nagiging kami yung heroes or avatar na pinipili namin, kaya okay yung visuals ng OPPO A98 5G kasi mas feel namin yung laro. Super clear ng screen at kitang-kita lahat ng visuals kaya nakaka gana mag laro”.

Cebu Pacific started the year strong -- winning three awards from two international bodies

 

Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading carrier, started the year strong -- winning three awards from two international bodies for being one of the best low-cost airlines in the world, its sustainable operations, and its safety record.

 

CEB was hailed Best Low-Cost Airline Brand in the Philippines for 2023 by the World Economic Magazine, a US-based publication that spotlights industry disruptors across the global financial marketplace. It was also recognized as the Most Sustainable Low-Cost Airline in the Philippines by the same publication.

 

CEB was one of the nine (9) Philippine businesses that made it in this list, joining other international companies that were acknowledged for their excellence and drive for continued growth and progress.

CEB also received a separate recognition from airlineratings.com as among the top 20 safest low-cost airlines in the world for 2024.

 

Airlineratings.com, the world’s leading airline safety and product rating review website, assesses an airline’s safety by reviewing its incident records over the past two years, audit results from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and fleet age, among other factors. 

 

Airlineratings.com also previously awarded CEB with a perfect 7-star rating for its multi-layered approach to safety during the pandemic.

 

“It is an honor to be considered as one of the top low-cost carriers in the world commended for safety records and effective safety management systems,” said CEB Chief Executive Officer Michael Szucs.   

 

“Cebu Pacific has indeed grown to become one of the most recognized and trusted names in the industry, synonymous with safe, affordable, and accessible flights. These recognitions inspire us to continue to outperform at the highest level in the industry,” he added.

 

Through the years, CEB successfully implemented a low-fare business model, catering specifically to budget-conscious consumers to make air travel more accessible and economical for a wider range of passengers.  

 

It has also been recognized in Asia Pacific for its cost-efficient operations and environmentally friendly initiatives. In September 2022, CEB operated its first passenger flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from Singapore to Manila. This achievement made CEB the first low-cost carrier in Southeast Asia and the first Philippine airline to incorporate SAF in its commercial operations.  

 

In the same year, CEB also received the Asia Environmental Sustainability Airline / Airline Group of the Year award from the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) for its leadership in sustainability performance and initiatives in the regional aviation industry.

 

CEB aims to transition to an all-NEO fleet by 2028 and will incorporate the use of blended SAF for its entire commercial network by 2030.

 

CEB currently flies to 35 domestic locations and 25 international destinations across Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. For more information, visit: www.cebupacificair.com.

Fujitsu Philippines recently hosted the “ActivateNow Southeast Asia” event at the New World Hotel in Makati City

 

In the whirlwind of retail hustle and bustle, brands and retailers are no strangers to the chaos that peak seasons bring. Picture this: stores buzzing with long lines, big crowds hounding at a concert event, and long queues in a restaurant opening. They occur not only during holiday seasons, but also during regular months, driving businesses to face ongoing challenges to keep things smooth day in and day out.

 

So the question is, what can merchants do to streamline customer experience across different channels?

 

Fujitsu Philippines recently hosted the “ActivateNow Southeast Asia” event at the New World Hotel in Makati City, offering customers a glimpse into the future of retail. The event showcased innovative technologies designed to enhance the customers’ shopping experience, with a focus on reducing friction and improving efficiency for both merchants and buyers.

Assisted Reality (AR) at work at the Fujitsu Cafe. The text on the screen is what the user sees on their VR headset.

 

Experiencing the Future of Retail

 

Attendees were taken on an experiential journey through the Fujitsu Christmas Village, a showcase of cutting-edge retail solutions. The guests had the opportunity to shop for Fujitsu merchandise items for up to P500.

 

Every bag handed to customers was equipped with a corresponding RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification). Shoppers simply had to place their bags at the self-checkout counter and the system automatically computed the total bill. This created a shopping experience that was both seamless and efficient.

 

 

Chilling at the barista-free Fujitsu Café

 

There have been many cafes with an independent vibe that made their own take of the craft-coffee movement, but Fujitsu introduced one that many have not seen before: a no-barista cafe.

 

Integrating Assisted Reality (AR), the Fujitsu Cafe had customers wear a Virtual Reality (VR) headset. Through the device, they saw step-by-step instructions of how they can make their preferred coffee. This innovative technology not only introduced a new retail concept, but also demonstrated seamless integration of tools and human interaction in a work setting, showcasing the evolving dynamics of modern workplaces.

 

Data, security, and AI for sustainable retail

 

In today's market, there's a growing demand for businesses to step up and embrace sustainable practices. While everyone recognizes the roles that data, security, and AI play, many business owners feel a bit overwhelmed with the details.

 

Fujitsu Philippines put the spotlight on "radical transparency", a case study that showcased a modern approach to sustainability. Fujitsu did this by attaching QR codes to clothing items, allowing shoppers to scan and dive into the history of a product — from the raw materials used, to its origins, manufacturing process, all the way to its journey to the store shelves. This forward-thinking move not only shows a commitment to sustainable retail practices but also builds a stronger connection between consumers and the products they choose.

 

"In addressing sustainability challenges, technology serves as a powerful tool to optimize benefits and minimize waste,” said Jezmynn Koh-Turner, Vice President for Marketing, Fujitsu Asia Pacific. “However, its impact is truly unleashed when coupled with heightened collaboration and teamwork both publicly and privately. It's through collective efforts that we pave the way for a sustainable future, where technology acts as a catalyst for positive change,” she added.

 

Fujitsu's ActivateNow event is a timely reminder that embracing technological innovation is key for merchants aiming to thrive in all seasons. By jumping on board with modern retail solutions, refining customer interactions, and smoothing out operations, businesses can cut through the noise and craft an enjoyable, efficient shopping experience for their customers.
