I also bought my father a Cherry Mobile phone three years ago as a gift and up to now the phone is still in good condition. Based on these experiences, I'm impressed with the brand. Now, I'm excited to share with you their newest product- The prepaid service, dubbed as Cherry Prepaid powered by Globe. More information about the phone bundles below :)

Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra Launch

     I noticed that when a friend or relative looks for a smartphone, the first thing they ask the sales lady is about the camera. How many mega pixels the rear and front camera have. Then after asking clicks the camera button, test it in the first subject they see and compares the photos they've taken one by one. In today's world of smartphones, camera is really important as this is the main part of the modern mobile phone that takes all the precious memories that we make everyday.

     Aside from photos, we also make a record of those once in a lifetime memories like birthday celebrations, first milestone of a baby (for mothers), and other occasions that is important to us. Starmobile recently launched another big thing in the smartphone/cameraphone industry. This is the KNIGHT Spectra- the first smartphone with dual rear camera. The launch was held at EDSA Shangri-La last November 9, 2015 and was graced by Starmobile executives, celebrities, media partners, and bloggers who were excited to see another first in the cameraphone field.

Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra Launch

     During the launch, we got the first dibs on the Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra, the most advanced Filipino cameraphone with a dual rear camera. Designed for social shutterbugs, the KNIGHT Spectra is just what you need to up your game when it comes to taking share-worthy pics.

Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra Launch

      “The Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra is our most advanced cameraphone to date,” says Starmobile Chief Operating Officer Michael Chen.

“With its unique dual rear sensors and built-in Star Cam functionality it takes the mobile point-and-shoot experience to even greater heights.” The two camera modules work together to help you take photos that really stand out. Here’s how the system works: the 2-megapixel sensor gathers data like light, exposure, and distance, allowing the 13-megapixel sensor to take brilliant photos more quickly and accurately. “The result is faster focusing, amazing colors, sharper details, and automatic distortion correction the likes of which can only be found in high-end point-and-shoot cameras,” says Chen.

Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra Launch

     Here are the addition to Starmobile’s unique Star Cam functions, thus enable you to do the following:

• Choose the focal point of your shot after taking the photo. All you have to do is tap on the object (or person, face, etc.) you want to focus on! With Star Cam’s Super ReFocus, the dual rear camera takes photos at 10 varying lengths then compresses them into a single file.
• Take photos at exactly the right exposure level. Hate how dark photos look when you don’t use the flash, but also detest the overexposure that results when you do it with a normal smartphone cam? Chroma Flash lets your phone take two photos—one with flash and one without—in rapid succession, combining them into a single file for a better overall pic.
• Zoom in without compromising photo texture and sharpness. Using your smartphone to take photos of that rocking concert you’re attending? Or maybe you want to capture precious moments at a loved one’s birthday, graduation, or wedding. Opti Zoom shoots multiple photos simultaneously to improve the quality of those close-up shots.

Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra Launch

     Starmobile’s KNIGHT Spectra is more than just a camera with smartphone capabilities. See phone specs below:

• Android 5.1 Lollipop
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor
• Adreno 405 GPU
• WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, ISDB-T, OTG, DVB Digital TV
• Dual-SIM 3G, LTE
• 3GB of RAM
• 5.5-inch full HD, On cell AMOLED display, scratch resistant glass, 1920 x 1080 resolution
• 32GB of storage, expandable via microSD
• 13-megapixel rear camera with flash + 2-megapixel rear camera
• 8-megapixel front camera
• 3500mAh battery
• Priced at P14,990

     With the phone's star quality specs above, I can say that it will satisfy those camerphone savvies. In my opinion, smartphones with good camera are the in thing now especially for bloggers who like to cover events without bringing too much stuff. To test the unique starcam function of Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra, veteran and highly-respected photographer Jun De Leon tested this phone in different subjects and was amazed by the camera's performance. All the photos on display during the event was taken using the Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra- raw and no filter added. It's shot in manual mode by the maestro.

     There are three things that I'm sure will make you put Starmobile KNIGHT Spectra in your wish list this Christmas: the loaded star cam features, the battery life because it's 3,500 mAh, and AMOLED HD display which I've seen as one of the features of some high-end televisions. Thank you so much Starmobile for having me and for letting me share this event to my readers. Here's a sneek peak of the event, comment below if you see me in the video. Hint: I'm wearing a black sheer blouse during the event and my back was captured in the middle part taking event photos.

Yes or No to Online Dating

     Nowadays the global net has become the most popular place where people meet and get to know each other. It is our reality and our growing up children will likely look for their soulmates on the internet and go on online dates instead of real or face-to-face ones. So, let’s think about perks and pitfalls of social dating. I went to the website cupid.com to have an idea of how it works. This service allows finding people with common hobbies and interests and provides online chat room for flirting and finding a match from your area.

Yes or No to Online Dating
image from: hufftingtonpost.com

• Access is the invulnerable plus. In our lives we cannot meet so many potential partners and get to know them closer in a short span of time. In virtual reality, we can choose the age of potential soul mate, his or her lifestyle, confession and hobbies and browse the candidate before making decision to meet face-to-face.
• Interaction is required to understand whether the person behind the monitor is cut from the same clot or not. You can discuss news and share information or just chat with each other. And before choosing the partner to meet in reality you can communicate with several persons.
• Online dating turned out to be time and cost saving. You do not need to go out somewhere and think how to organize a date to impress your partner.
• Friendship is a bonus. In case you realize that your conversation partner is not the one you were looking for, you may just stay friends.

Nevertheless, there are some dangers which online dating hides.

     The process of finding a partner can linger on. It may seem that you are about to find your perfect match and the person with ‘ideal characteristics’ exists. Misled by this impression you can miss potentially good partner and never initiate any relations. 

     The computer is not able to pass on some information, features, feelings that are required to build attraction. Only face-to-face date can help you decide whether this person really is your destiny.

     I am a person who sees the glass as half full and believe that you can find you destiny everywhere, including Internet. My optimistic point of view is supported by figures. As Match.com reports that 12,000 couples marry through online dating service mediation.
