Capture Life Unfiltered: realme 15 Series 5G with Pro-Level Cameras

 


Live for Real and capture moments as they truly are with the realme 15 Series 5G – unfiltered,

unscripted, unforgettable

Life today is often viewed through staged filters and scripted moments, yet the upcoming realme

15 Series 5G aims to capture authenticity as it unfolds. With its advanced camera system, the

new Number Series inspires fans to embrace life as it happens, encouraging everyone to



Pro-Level Cameras That Keep Up With Life


The realme 15 Series 5G features a triple 50MP AI camera setup with 4K video recording, ready

to capture both the extraordinary and the everyday moments. From the golden sunsets along

Manila Bay to the quiet joy of Sunday coffee with family, every frame tells a story in rich, true-to-

life detail.


Low-light moments are no challenge – thanks to the Series’ main rear cameras, which use Sony

sensors, and a Nightscape engine that produces brighter and more detailed photos, perfect for

capturing city lights after dark or a cozy dinner with friends. They also come with wide-angle

cameras that expand the field of view, making it easy to capture group photos and panoramic

landscapes in one take. And for those who want a touch of artistry, creative filters add flair by

transforming lights into whimsical starbursts and heart-shaped patterns, turning casual

snapshots into cutesy keepsakes.


On top of these lighting effects, fans can explore a range of camera filters designed to enhance

every shot, making them perfect for travel and adventure. Options include Mountain, which

brightens forest and park scenes; Island, tailored for slightly dimmer conditions such as cloudy

beach days; and City, ideal for capturing vibrant street views or cozy cafés.


For added creativity, soft light filters like Deja Vu and Retro bring a unique mood to photos, with

their MagicGlow fill light automatically activating when these modes are used.


For fans whose everyday moments are filled with people and emotions, the 50MP selfie camera

shines brightest. Whether it’s a reunion, a milestone, or simply sharing laughter with friends, the

camera preserves authenticity in every shot, because the rawest smiles and unscripted glances

are often the ones that matter most.


And what makes the experience even more exciting is the convenience of its shake-to-open

feature, where a simple shake of the phone launches the camera app instantly.


Celebrations and Stories Made Brighter

For moments that span from personal milestones to unforgettable concerts, AI Party Mode

ensures celebrations appear as vibrant on-screen as they feel in the moment. By enhancing

colors, tones, and clarity even in dimly lit settings, it preserves the energy of nights meant to be

remembered.



To add more ways of keeping memories alive and encourage the Squad to share their most

authentic moments, realme partnered with Hollyland and Fujifilm – the Hollyland Lark A1

wireless microphone ensures every story is heard with crystal clarity, while the Instax mini Link

3 printer turns digital snapshots into tangible keepsakes. Together, these collaborations echo

the campaign’s goal: to capture, share, and relive moments that feel most real.


Exclusive Pre-Order Perks Await

The realme 15 Series 5G officially launches on September 16, 2025. Fans can now pre-order

from September 1 to 26 at realme’s partner stores nationwide. Each pre-order comes with

freebies worth up to P3,897, including a TechLife Smart Band Fit, TechLife Clip-On Earbuds 2,

and a 1-Year Screen Damage Protection Plan, giving fans more ways to enjoy the realme

experience.

AirAsia Philippines Teams Up with Stakeholders to Address Bird Strike Risks


image.png


AirAsia Philippines is reinforcing its commitment to flight safety and operational resilience as it works closely with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), Air Carriers Association of the Philippines and other aviation stakeholders to address the growing challenge of bird strike incidents.


Recently, the CAAP and AirAsia Philippines have been working hand in hand to begin mitigating the considerable presence of birds within the runway environment and surrounding areas of Tacloban airport, as reported by AirAsia. In response, CAAP committed to deploying a team of biologists and wildlife experts to coordinate with local authorities in addressing the matter.


A bird strike occurs when birds collide with an aircraft which usually happens during takeoff or landing. The damage it causes varies and may potentially disrupt flight schedules, affecting maintenance requirements and impacting overall airline operations.  


From January to August 2025, AirAsia Philippines recorded over 90 bird strike events in some of the domestic airports within the country, hence, most are low-consequence occurrences that are routinely managed by Safety Risk Management Process. 


This year, while most encounters were minor, six incidents caused confirmed damage to aircraft components. In all cases, however, flight safety was never compromised, with only temporary aircraft inspections, repairs, and short delays noted.


Recognizing the need for industry-wide solutions, AirAsia Philippines maintains proactive coordination with CAAP and actively participates in the Air Carriers Association of the Philippines (ACAP) safety sub-committee, where airlines share data and align strategies for nationwide wildlife hazard management.


“While wildlife activity is a natural occurrence around airports, even a single bird can already pose a risk during takeoff and landing. That’s why wildlife hazard management isn’t something airlines can do alone---it requires a collective effort among government, airport operators, and the entire industry. We are proud to work closely with CAAP, ACAP, airport partners, and fellow airlines to ensure that our skies stay safe for everyone,” said AirAsia Philippines President and CEO Capt. Suresh Bangah.


Meanwhile, for its part, AirAsia emphasized that it has intensified crew advisories at high-risk airports and reinforced coordination between its flight operations, engineering, and ground teams to ensure immediate inspections and strict reporting protocols.


The airline also analyzes bird strike trends and proactively alerts its Flight Safety and Data Analysis Program with findings reviewed quarterly by its Safety Review Board.
