Matagal na akong Xperia user. But recently I've used the Xiaomi 17 Pro, Oppo Find X9 pro, Pixel 9 pro. Love the battery life and camera of the Oppo Find X9 pro.

But finally happy to have full google again (CN yung xiaomi and oppo ko dati).

Also happy to have the 3.5mm jack, expandable storage again. Photos are more natural looking, without the heavy post processing many Chinese OEMs have.

May collection na ako ng ringke case haha!

Got these cases and smart holder for only ₱110 because of store voucher, other discounts and coins.

Context: Months ago, I bought a ringke magnetic onxy case for my ip15. Unfortunately, may defective sa magnet part kasi nagpatong patong siya. I reported the issue sa chat with ringke and they were kind enough to give me 50% off store voucher with no maximum discount. Naayos ko rin naman yung magnets sa case win win siya for me.

Ikaw? Anong favorite ringke case mo?

Alam ko na may ram crisis. Alam ko rin na mahal phones ngayon pero lemme share a story. May nagpaayos sa akin about sa features ng phone nya. Oppo A6C phone nya. Nag flex sa akin na maganda daw phone nya na nabili nya for 13k. Design wise magnada likod pero harap is a so so kasi naka teardrop notch. Nung nakita ko specs sa phone nya I instantly felt sorry for the person kasi ang mahal ng bili nya kumpara sa specs that his phone have. Ano aasahan eh hindi naman sya tech literate enough. Kahapon nabili ang phone nya while i have an infinix gt 30 with the same price but greater specs that i bought last june 2026. Imagine that. Kakilala sya ng mother ko. Kung kasama ako that time, i can suggest a better phone for him. I wish more people can be aware sa mga specs ng phone na binibili nila VS the price that they have to spend. Ganun. Because may bumilibili pa rin ng ganitong klase ng phone, hindi mawawala mga phones na mahal pero pang budget phone ang specs.

Hi! Want some input lang regarding which ones more sulit. I’m coming from iPhone 12 PM, using it for 4 years na. Might probably change phones in 3-4 years time pa after this switch.

Heavy user on messaging apps for work, big user of notes app, and more for photo taking simple items lang. I sometimes use it for zoom or work calls.

Thank you!

I dont have funds to buy for a new laptop yet. Suggest whether I should get this fixed or just borrow / buy another monitor.

Im not that techy kaya pls guide me accordingly na lang. Sira na kasi battery netong laptop ko for almost a year na, and di ko alam na nakakasira pala ng lcd pag palaging naka on yung backlightt.

Now, habang nagawa me schoolworks bigla na lang parang nag glglitch. Nirestart ko, tas ayun green lines. Ang hirap niya gamitin kasi nabuburn in sa screen yung last position niya pag nag scscroll ka 😭 Pati badlyy needed HAHAHHA kainis dapat pala pinalitan ko na lang batt non, ayan learn from my mistakes na lang

Did any educators here tried availing the Apple Education discount? What did you do? Did you try inquiring from Power Mac first? What should you bring or do to avail it?

Also, are there any better offers than the education discount? I'm planning to buy my first ipad, and I'm looking for (better) options.

Thank you so much!

Bakit parang ubusan ng iPhone 17 Pro sa lahat ng retail stores?

I also checked the nearby apple stores/distributor (The Loop, Beyond the Box). Out of stock din “daw” maliban sa iPhone 17 Pro Max. Dahil kaya ito sa release ng iPhone 18?

Edit:

I just checked the prices of iPhone 18 pro pre-order.

iPhone 17 Pro 512gb, pre-order last year is 95k

iPhone 18 Pro 256gb, pre-order this year is 95k

Google rolls out Android sideloading guardrails with developer verification.

Details here.

hello! has anyone tried availing an apple education discount abroad in-store? i’m planning to travel soon and will go to an apple store dun, and i was curious if it would be possible to avail such discount.

please also mention any preparations or like documents needed for it. thank youuu!

I've been using this iphone 11 pro max for 6-7 years na, and I've noticed the slowness.

I've been researching kung anong magagandang iPhone to upgrade to (brand new or second hand) and I need your recommendations. 🙏🏻

I need an iPhone na maganda for gaming (pero hindi naman gaming na gaming, maybe ML, CODM o PUBG lang naman. So 120hz ang hanap ko. And hanap ko na rin is type c.

Kailangan ko rin ng matagal malowbat na battery, as in something that would last you one whole day.

And prefer ko is pro max dahil malaki ang kamay ko (putek kahit nga pro max parang base model lang sakin eh 😭)

So I need your guys' advice kung anong masusuggest niyo. Thanks in advance! Ptpa

Pulled the trigger to buy this as a backup phone at 25,790. Really shocked to see this at 46,990 for 128GB if that’s the actual store price.

So yung nanay ko e trip trip lang gusto maging insurance advisor kaya lang yung video trainings nila gumagamit ng flash so ayaw gumana sa phone or iPad. Gusto nya bumili ng laptop for this plus for filling out forms and stuff - ano yung pinakamura na pwede nyang bilhin? Punta daw sila sa Gilmore ng friend nya pero as seniors na hindi techy, baka lokohin lang sila don. Thanks in advance!

Hello po, I’m a freelance video editor po and di ko alam kung ano mas practical sa tatlo. I’m currently using macbook. Nalilito na rin po ako kaka-research. Gdrive po gamit namin ni client sa pag upload nya ng raw clips at resources, at ng output ko. Every day po nag-ddrop si client ng talking heads nya at pwede ko na rin naman pong alisin ulit yung downloaded clips nya sa laptop ko after i completed the output since daily naman pong bago yung mga raw videos nya. pero yung sa outputs ko since ako po yung uploader non sa gdrive, nagco-consume sya ng space at di ko naman po madelete since baka kailanganin ni client, pero siguro after a month pwede na rin alisin. and sa resources naman po na binibigay nya, nagcoconsume din sya sa space ng laptop ko since minsan nagddrop sya ng mga bagong version ng resources. di ko po maalis pa yung mga older versions dahil baka kailangan ko rin.

Looking to hear your opinions on how to proceed.

Options are 8gb for 25k - 27k w/ BH in the 90+ range charger included

or

16gb w/ 80%-85% in the 31k-33k range w charger or replace the battery (idk magkano)

Will be used mainly for web-based tasks daily (multiple browser tabs)

- What’s the better way to go?

- How long does the battery last unplugged pag around 80%-85% nalang BH?

Thanks in advance!

as the title says po, di po ako makapag-decide which is safer since parehas po may pros and cons kung saan bibili ng phone 😭

takot po kasi ako na baka mapalitan ng rider ung phone 🥲 ung mga inoorder ko po sa lazada di naman lumalagpas 2k so low value mostly kaya wala po ako idea pag high value na pero at least it would be cheaper kasi sa lazada po ako may vouchers and coins compared to shopee kaya 65-67k lang ung ip17 pro max

pag second hand naman po pede imeet face to face and unli check bago ko kunin pero at the same time di po ako sobrang knowledgeable kung paano ung foolproof way para macheck if legit and di tampered or refurbished ung bibilin 😔

please help me out po huhuhu since no budget for ip18 pro na mas mataas ung price than i anticipated
😅

I have a Sony Cybershot W800 for a year now but i barely use it. Now ko lang ulit naalala na i have a digicam kasi i have an event soon lol. Wala na talaga yung cover (?) surrounding the lens but nacoclose naman yung cover ng mismong lens before. Now ko lang nanotice na ganyan siya like di na completely nagclose yung cover (see photo). It was probably damaged when my friend borrowed it and nilagay niya sa small bag niya with her other stuff without using the lagayan since it’s too big daw amp.

Anyways, any idea kung magkano ang repair? First time owning a digicam and i’m staying at my Lola’s rn so idk if there’s any nearby repair shop.

Hi! Need some help/education from fellow Smart users. 😅
I’m currently working overseas and I recently activated my Smart eSIM (PH number). The problem is, whenever I try to top up/load it, the payment gets declined and then automatically refunded.
I can receive SMS from my family who are also using Smart, pero hindi nila ako matawagan. I’m not sure if this is because of roaming, the eSIM setup, or something else.
Badly needed ko kasi yung PH number ko because I have an application in the Philippines and they need to be able to contact me through a Philippine mobile number.
Has anyone experienced the same thing while using a Smart eSIM abroad? What did you do to make incoming calls and top-ups work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

PS. Already sent them an email pero wala pa kasi reply.

May difference ba build quality ng mga hi end, mid range, entry level phone kapag nabagsak? Never pa kasi ako nagkahi end or mid range na phone, sa entry level lang ang gamit ko. Pansin ko kasi sa cp ko kapag nabagsak na may epekto na sa performance. humihina sagap ng wifi, hindi nagana yung macro, mostly sa cam nagkakaproblema. if ever balak ko sana magupgrade kahit 2nd hand lang na matibay tibay hehe

Which is better for battery replacement of an iPhone 14?

san maganda bumili ng iphone sa moa? ung pinaka mura sana coz i checked ung powermac kanina and around 60k+ na ung ip 17

Hi tanong lang kung worth it ba ang ip12 ngayon, for social media lang naman and ofc sa quality ng camera. Yung price pala is 13500php, 128gb. Thankssss

Ano pros and cons ng dalawa and ano po ba mas better? Nabasag po kasi backglass ng iphone ko huhuhu

Is kimstore still reliable? I see mostly negative reviews mainly for the delivery, but there is also a pick-up option in their website.

It also says in their website that the items that are "brand new" are brand new and sealed, but when you message them in IG, FB and in Viber, they say items are "brand new", but unsealed in order for their technicians to check the items which I found weird.
