Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G Earns First Place Distinction in DxOMark’s Selfie Camera, Rear Cameras and Video Rankings
Samsung Electronics today announced that the new Galaxy Note10+ 5G has received the number one ranking on the DxOMark both front facing and rear facing cameras, as well as the top score for video. The DxOMark scale provides a ranking system to evaluate the image and video quality of smartphone cameras. The Galaxy Note10+ 5G was unveiled during last week’s Unpacked event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, alongside the Galaxy Note10+ which delivers the same image and video quality experience.
The Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+ put state-of-the-art tools to capture stunning video and photos at users’ fingertips and have been built with content creators and everyday users in mind. Through a combination of advanced imaging technology and software, the Galaxy Note10 takes videography and photography to the next level, allowing the user’s social media channels, stories and posts to make an even bigger impact.
The Galaxy Note10+ 5G scored first place distinction on the DxOMark Selfie scale for its front facing camera with a score of 99, and it also received first place, earning an overall mobile score of 113, for its rear cameras.
The Samsung Galaxy Note10 and Note10+are equipped to capture pro-grade video without requiring extra gear. Featuring Live focus video and Zoom-In Mic to enhance and amplify video content, Note10 brings priority subjects – both images and audio – to the forefront. New Super steady stabilizes the footages – even during Hyperlapse mode.
Galaxy Note10 users can also edit-on-the-go, without having to connect to their PC. The native video editor enables easy editing functionality right on the phone. With the S Pen, users can choose the precise moment they want to trim. Additional features, including Screen recorder, AR Doodle, 3D Scanner and Night Mode on the front facing camera, round out an upgraded Galaxy Note10 camera experience that has resulted in this high accolade from DxOMark.
DxOMark – a trusted industry authority for camera, lens and smartphone image quality measurements and ratings – conducts its DxOMark Selfie and DxOMark Mobile tests following a rigorous scientific protocol using industry-grade lab tools. The score sums up their engineers’ assessment of a devices’ photo and video quality to provide consumers with neutral and reliable test data about smartphone camera performance. DxOMark assigns sub-scores for photo and video quality and then combines them into an overall score.

Heroes Vs Villains: Trick or Treating with the Vivo V7+
Trick or treating is something that was introduced locally a few years ago but something that has become almost an instant hit to children and adults alike. Shooting a good and clear Halloween photo with the usual low-lit or dim setting of a Halloween ambiance may be a challenge with an ordinary phone camera.
But with the Vivo V7+, dimly-lit environment is never a challenge when taking a clear selfie shot. Known for rocking one of the first 24MP selfie-centric smartphones to hit the market, the V7+ Vivo’s perfect response to the selfie phenomenon. Its 24MP clearer selfie, front facing camera, with LED flash and smart photography algorithms provides for a clear-cut, crisp, and natural-looking photo while one is out and about whether for tricks or treats. A fan of scary movies or Armageddon-type video games? Enjoy them with the V7+’s revolutionary 5.99 all-screen Display boasting of an 84.4% screen to body ratio, providing a more exciting and enhanced game and visual experience. V7+’s Special Face Beauty 7.0 feature is also a hit even for the not-so-pretty Halloween masks as it brightens up photos and evens-out complexions so capturing a selfie-moment is not a problem in Halloween’s overcast set-up. The V7+’s camera also has a built-in Bokeh feature which gives photos a beautiful effect of a soft out-of-focus background, a famous aesthetic in selfies in the recent years.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Ties Up with GLOBE Telecom
 |
| Globe Telecom, Facebook collaborate to provide Internet access to more Filipinos with Free Facebook. Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom proves that it is the mobile data service provider of choice by technology leaders and industry players around the world with its collaboration with top social networking site Facebook to provide its over 36 million subscribers free access to Facebook on their mobile phones for an initial period of three (3) months without the need for Wi-Fi. Aside from offering Facebook at zero data charges, the collaboration between the two global companies has also paved the way for subscribers to enjoy first-of-its-kind customer experience innovations such as availability of access on feature phones and smartphones across all Facebook mobile platforms whether via the Facebook app or Facebook’s mobile site m.facebook.com, advice of charge notifications, one-click to purchase data plans, and data access lending to access links outside Facebook. In photo sealing the partnership are (from left) Globe Senior Advisor for Consumer Business Peter Bithos, Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu in Menlo Park, California, USA. |
Available to all Globe Prepaid, Postpaid, and TM subscribers using feature phones and smartphones* and accessing either through the mobile site of Facebook or the Facebook app, users can post, like, comment, chat, add friends, upload photos, share posts, and more on Facebook without the need for Wi-Fi.
Aside from offering Facebook at zero data charges, the collaboration between the two global companies has also paved the way for subscribers to enjoy first-of-its-kind customer experience innovations.
Working with Silicon Valley-based Facebook engineers, Globe has put together innovations that cover key milestones in the customer experience journey such as availability of access on feature phones and smartphones across all Facebook mobile platforms whether via the Facebook app or Facebook’s mobile site m.facebook.com; no billshock or “nakaw load” as customers will be notified if they will incur data charges once a link that leads out of Facebook is clicked; and one-click registration to the data plan of choice to continue browsing without having to leave the site. Recommended data plans consider a subscriber’s available prepaid balance and/or megabytes (MB) balance of existing data plan.
Moreover, customers with not enough prepaid load can “loan” a 10MB data plan for only P10 which will be deducted on their succeeding top-up so they can fully explore content outside Facebook, making the experience seamless and worry-free.
“Once again, Globe has proven that it is the mobile data service provider of choice by industry and technology leaders around the world with this breakthrough partnership with Facebook to give our 36 million subscribers uninterrupted, seamless, and worry-free Free Facebook experience. This is collaboration at its peak, which has resulted in the best and most innovative Free Facebook experience yet,” said Peter Bithos, Senior Advisor for Consumer Business at Globe Telecom. “
Globe is progressively rolling-out availability of the Free Facebook service to cover all its subscribers by October 31, 2013.
Bithos added, “Over the past months, the engineering, business development and marketing teams at both Globe and Facebook have worked together to plan and design the customer experience from scratch – which includes making the service available across all Facebook mobile platforms, rolling out a system that alerts users once they are about to click a link that will incur them data charges, paving the way for subscribers to easily subscribe to a data plan without having to leave Facebook, and allowing data access lending for subscribers who don’t have enough prepaid load to continue browsing links outside Facebook. This service testifies how Globe is transforming itself beyond just an access carrier. Globe is striving to be a leading digital brand catering to the needs of digital Filipinos who need to be connected to their social circles around the world.”
“Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected,” said Chris Daniels, vice president of partnerships at Facebook. “Globe understands the opportunities giving people access to the Internet brings and we’re thrilled to be working with them to give Globe subscribers access to Facebook without data charges across our apps and mobile website.”
Starting October 31, 2013, subscribers can dial *143# and select FREE FB to know more about Globe Free Facebook.
*Except BlackBerry. Free Facebook will soon be available to Nokia Xpress and Opera Mini users.

Daniel Padilla is the Newest Endorser of MyPhone
Next week na magiging available sa market ang isa sa hottest Pinoy android phones ngayon at isa sa most affordable phablets, ang MyPhone A919 Duo.
Di lang yan ang pasabog ng MyPhone, dahil malapait na nilang ipakilala ang kanilang bagong endorsers. Ayon sa aking source ang bagong endorser nila ay walang iba kundi ang tinaguriang Justin Bieber ng Pilipinas na si Daniel Padilla.
I think tama ang desisyon nila na kunin nila si Daniel dahil hot ngayon si Daniel at bumenta ng husto ang kanyang album at idagdag mo pa dyan ang pangunguna ng kanyang kauna-unahang Primetime telserye na 'Princess and I.'
Sa katunayan ilan sa hottest teen stars ay endorsers ng MyPhone ksama diyan ang mga kasamahan niya sa serye na sina Enrique Gil at Kathryn Bernardo.
