October 20, 2022 12:50 p.m.

All smartphone brands nowadays promise fast charging,  but you’ve never seen anything like this yet.

Infinix’s latest offering, the ZERO ULTRA, revolutionizes the way you think about phone charging with its industry-first 180W Thunder Charge, which can power up the device from 0 to 100% in only 12 minutes.

How is that possible, you ask? The Thunder Charge technology, a real breakthrough in the smartphone industry, lets the ZERO ULTRA charge fast—based on tests performed at the Infinix Labs, all you have to do is activate the Furious Mode charge setting via the “Battery Marathon” option found in the phone’s settings. Of course, you also have to use Infinix’s proprietary 180W charger and data cable, and the ideal room temperature should also be 25 degrees Celsius to get a full charge in 12 minutes.

The shortened waiting time for a full charge makes the ZERO ULTRA perfect for power users who are always on the go. There’s always something that needs to be done or you just want to keep enjoying your phone, and now you don’t have to stand by the wall for an hour while it gets to 100%.

There’s also no need to worry about any battery malfunctions or mishaps while using Thunder Charge, as the ZERO ULTRA has a total of 111 software and hardware security protection mechanisms that take care of the phone, battery, charger, and charging cable, as well as 20 thermal sensors all over the device. The ZERO ULTRA’s TÜV SÜD 36-Month Fluency Rating A certification also ensures that its battery’s quality stays the same after a long time.

For those who don’t need to charge the ZERO ULTRA too fast, the phone also comes with a standard charging mode, which lets it power up at its usual pace.

Beyond the Thunder Charge, the ZERO ULTRA also packs impressive flagship-quality features that rival other top-tier smartphone brands, all for a competitive price. It’s got a 200MP ultra resolution primary rear camera for crisp and clear photos and videos, a 6nm Dimensity 920 5G processor that lets you experience the blazing fast speeds of 5G mobile internet, a dazzling 3D curved 120Hz AMOLED display, and a beautiful and innovative textured glass and star trail design.

4 smartphone problems you won’t have to worry about with OPPO A6s 5G

3:11 p.m. June 25, 2026

A smartphone can be one of the most useful tools in your daily routine, but it can also be a source of frustration when it falls short at the wrong moment. Running low on battery before the day is over, dealing with lag during a casual gaming session, worrying about rain damaging your device, or spending extra time editing photos are challenges many users know all too well.

The OPPO A6s 5G takes aim at these everyday pain points with features designed around how people actually use their smartphones. From staying powered throughout busy days to delivering smoother performance and smarter photo enhancements, here’s how the OPPO A6s 5G handles them with ease.

  1. Phones That Can’t Handle Everyday Mishaps

A smartphone can face plenty of hazards throughout the day. From getting caught in an unexpected downpour during your commute, to using your device with wet hands after a workout, accidents can happen when you least expect them. For users who spend time outdoors, dust and unpredictable weather can add another layer of concern.

The OPPO A6s 5G features IP69 Water and Dust Resistance, designed to help safeguard your device against the elements. Combined with Splash Touch and Glove Touch, you can stay connected and in control even with wet hands or while wearing gloves. Wherever the day takes you, the OPPO A6s 5G delivers durability you can count on.

  1. Battery Life That Doesn’t Last

Running out of battery before the day ends remains one of the most common frustrations among smartphone users. A typical day filled with work, school, entertainment, and social media can put a constant strain on battery life, making frequent charging part of the routine. As devices age, that challenge often becomes even more noticeable as battery performance gradually declines.

From attending online classes and managing work tasks, to scrolling through social media and catching up with friends over mobile games, the OPPO A6s 5G is equipped with a massive 7000mAh Large Battery designed to keep pace with busy days. Beyond impressive capacity, the battery is engineered for long-term durability, offering up to 5 Years Durable Battery performance to help maintain reliable power over time. Paired with 60-Month Fluency Protection, the OPPO A6s 5G is built to deliver a smooth and consistent experience year after year, making it a dependable companion designed with longevity in mind.

  1. Slowdowns That Disrupt Entertainment

A great smartphone experience goes beyond performance, it should look smooth, sound immersive, and stay responsive when it matters most. The OPPO A6s 5G delivers on all fronts with a 120Hz Ultra Bright Display that provides fluid visuals and enhanced visibility even under bright outdoor conditions. Complementing the display are Dual Stereo Speakers, creating a fuller and more immersive audio experience for everyday content.

For users who demand sustained performance, the SuperCool VC System helps manage heat efficiently, while AI GameBoost 2.0 optimizes system resources to support smoother, more responsive gameplay during extended sessions. Together, these features help ensure a consistently enjoyable experience whether you’re watching, browsing, or gaming.

  1. Photos That Need Too Much Fixing

Advanced photo editing is no longer limited to professional software. With the OPPO A6s 5G, a range of intelligent imaging tools makes it easier to enhance photos directly on your smartphone. It includes AI Eraser 2.0 for removing unwanted elements, AI Unblur for improving image sharpness, and AI Clarity Enhancer for bringing out greater detail. Complementing these are creative tools such as AI Perfect Shot, AI Recompose, and AI Studio, which provide additional flexibility for refining and reimagining photos. Together, they help users achieve polished results quickly and intuitively.

Finding Your Everyday Companion

The OPPO A6 is ideal for users looking for dependable performance and generous storage. It comes in Sakura Pink, Sapphire Blue, and Aurora Gold, and is available in 4GB + 256GB for Php 17,999 and 8GB + 256GB for Php 20,999.

Users who want the added benefits of 5G connectivity can opt for the OPPO A6s 5G, available in Ice White and Cappuccino Brown. It comes in a 6GB + 128GB variant priced at Php 22,999 and an 8GB + 256GB variant priced at Php 25,999.

One charge, endless power: realme teases C100 Series with up to 8000mAh Titan Battery

11:22 a.m. June 8, 2026

realme Philippines is gearing up for the launch of the realme C100 Series on June 18, and ahead of the big reveal, the brand is giving a first look at what the lineup is all about.

Anchored on the tagline “One Charge, Endless Power,” the C100 Series is built around two things Filipinos consistently look for in a smartphone: a battery that goes the distance and a build that holds up over time.

The realme C100 comes equipped with an 8000mAh Titan Battery, while the realme C100i carries a 7000mAh cell. Both are designed to deliver up to 1.5 days of use on a single charge, but what stands out is their long-term battery health – the realme C100 is rated to retain at least 80% capacity after 7 years of daily use, and the C100i after 6 years. The brand attributes this to its highly efficient energy consumption technology, which reduces battery wear over time without compromising on performance.

On the durability front, both models come with realme’s ArmorShell™ Protection and have been certified under the MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance standard, with a verified drop resistance of up to 2 meters. The realme C100 takes protection further with IP69 Pro rating, making it resistant to dust, submersion, and even high-pressure water jets. The realme C100i is rated IP64, covering everyday splashes and dust exposure.

The Series also comes in a range of colorways. The realme C100 will be available in Glory White, Endurance Brown, and Victory Purple, all featuring realme’s Blooming Design, a shimmer finish crafted with micron-level sculpting that shifts with light. Meanwhile, the realme C100i comes in Dawn Purple and Dusk Gray.

The realme C100 Series will be officially unveiled on June 18 via a livestream on realme’s official Facebook page. Pricing and full details will be announced on launch day.
