Do you think that the 41 Megapixel camera is already too big? Well, Oppo might have a better camera for you. It seems that Oppo Find 7, their next flagship phone, would have a 50 Megapixel camera according to their EXIF data. Yes, that’s not a typo. That’s 50.
Damn, the shots looks pretty damn great. I really want a smartphone that can match the ability of the Pureview camera and it looks like that smartphone is the Oppo Find 7. Well, I’m just hoping that this phone would be arriving in the Philippines soon.

I never leave my place without an earphones on my bag or pocket. Why? Because music kills the boredom whenever I go and commute. These earphones also let me answer my calls without bringing out my phone to the public. As an Android user, I really find it hard to find accessories on my phone unlike the Apple iPhone but there’s an earphones from JBL that lets me control my Android smartphone. Check it out after the break
The JBL Synchros S100a features a flat wire which makes the earphone less tangled whenever I put in my pocket. I always prefer earphones with flat wires because they’re less tangled than the round one. I also notice that the coating was thick which makes it tougher and less prone to damages inside it.
The one that I got is the white one and despite having a white hue, This earphone has a metal feeling which makes it tougher. But despite that, the JBL Synchros S100a is very comfortable to use but I always get confuse which is the left or the right one. The earphone also sports an L-shape 90-degree audio jack.
I’ve used different tracks and music to test the JBL Synchros S100a and without a doubt, it performs pretty well in my test. Well, most of the time, I’ve used the JBL Synchros S100a on my phone because the buttons can control the volume and change tracks of Android smartphones.
The JBL Synchros S100a doesn’t disappoint when it comes to audio quality. I tried the earphones for gaming on my laptop and I use it everyday for my Android phone I feel that lows were pretty good but I wished the JBL Synchros S100a had more bass in it as I feel that It lacks more bass.
Overall, the JBL Synchros S100a doesn’t disappoint. Honestly, this isn’t the best earphones that we can see in the stores right now but it is definitely one of the stylish one. The JBL Synchros is now available for PHP5,299 at JBL Acoustical Space Megamall, JBL Sound Gallery BGC, and JBL Digital Dreams SM North
A few weeks ago, GMA Network invited us to have a tour at their studios and have a chance to talk about tech with their Kapuso celebrities. It’s not my first time to visit GMA since I went there before for Unang Hirit guesting. Anyway, What are the things that we saw at GMA? Check it out after the break.
Along with my tech blogger friends, we visited Pia Arcangel while she’s having her live Flash Report at their studio. We had a short discussion with her and I also got a chance to do a selfie with her LOL. We also noticed that they used LED lights in their studio which is more energy efficient than normal lightings.
We also visited Kuya Germs during their radio show “Walang Siesta” at DZBB 594 and yes, it was my first time to guest on a radio show. But of course, not only we visited DZBB, we also visited DWLS 97.1, GMA’s FM station.
One of the most interesting part of the tour is when we visited their big studio with a sound-proofing technology. GMA is located along EDSA that’s why you can hear the loud noises from the cars passing by EDSA but with sound proofing technology of GMA’s studio, you won’t hear a thing outside the studio. They described the studio like a box inside a box. Yep, It’s really quiet, you won’t hear a thing from the loud noises of EDSA.
After the tour we got a chance to meet Mayton Eugenio, Mikoy Morales and Benjamin Alves. Mayton is a culinary student and we talked about some apps and she asked us how to make a blog. While Mikoy talked about his camera and Benjamin asked some questions that are related to technology.
It was fun and we learned some things from the Kapuso celebrities. If you want to have a studio tour at GMA too, check out their packages below:
Thanks GMA!
Windows Phone is getting most of the apps that we always used on our Android and iOS smartphones. This time, Facebook has released their messenger app on Windows Phone. With Facebook Messenger for Windows Phone, you can now send stickers, group conversations and share locations to your friends. Unfortunately, you can’t send voice messages and there’s no chat heads on this version. Well, I still hope that they’ll update this app soon. You can download the Facebook Messenger for Windows Phone here.
One of the most interesting features of the Samsung Galaxy S5 was the heart rate sensor but did you know that, almost all smartphones has a heart rate monitor? Yes, all you need is a smartphone with a camera with LED flash and an app. With apps like Runtastic Heart Rate and Instant Heart rate, you can measure your heart rate by just placing your index finger to the camera and flash. Yep, it’s accurate. No need to buy the Samsung Galaxy S5 or a Samsung Gear Fit to know your heart rate. These apps might measure your heart rate but unfortunately, these apps can’t measure how heartbroken you are right now.
It’s not Christmas yet but we’re giving away another phone from DTC Mobile! This time, it’s the DTC Mobile GT7. (We just love DTC Mobile) Joining the raffle is very easy! How? Well, all you need is to follow the required tasks at rafflecopter. Check it out after the break.
Terms and Conditions:
You are probably familiar with JBL. Yes, they’re the company who brought us a lot of audio products that are awesome and with quality. I’ve used the JBL J33 and yes, I was very satisfied with it. There are only a few earphones that satisfies me like the JBL J33 In-ear headphones did. You know what, just check out my review after the break
The JBL J33 got a unique buckle design. I find it brilliant because the buckle protects the wires inside the earbuds. Sometimes when one of the earbuds doesn’t work, it’s because of the wires inside these cables. Annoying right? Thanks to the buckle design, it would lessen the chances that it would happen.
Like what I’ve said earlier, JBL comes with a quality. The JBL J33’s cable doesn’t feel that it will tear or break easily. The cables are thick and you won’t feel that a simple accidental tugged won’t break the J33’s cable. A really nice feature that all in-ear headphones should have. However, I feel that the cable of the JBL J33 is too long
The JBL J33 is also very comfortable to use. There’s also a small pouch to compensate for that long wire. Whenever I use the JBL J33, I always bring the pouch, not because I’m protecting the JBL J33, but because the cables are too long.
The audio quality? The JBL J33 isn’t the best that I’ve tried but it is definitely a great one. The mids and highs are very nice while the bass feels just right but l wish it could get deeper. But hey, overall, I feel that the JBL J33 is one of the best in-ear headphones that you could get in the stores right now
The JBL J33 is now available at JBL Acoustical Space Megamall, JBL Sound Gallery BGC, and JBL Digital Dreams SM North.
It was a sunny Saturday when we started the Mazda Skyactiv Experiment. Together with Mico Halili (micohaliliblogs.blogspot.com) and Winslow Co (TeamTechSquad.com) along with our marshall, Ms. Menchie Ramirez (She’s an awesome driver!), we drove the Mazda CX-5 AWD with Skyactiv all the way from the busy streets of Manila to the wide avenues of Clark. So what is this experiment all about? It’s easy, our objective is to have the most efficient run on our category. Check our experience after the break.

First things first, Skyactiv is a technology built by Mazda that is integrated within Mazda engines which enables the engine to increase its fuel efficiency and engine output. Basically, it maximizes the performance without sacrificing fuel consumption.
Since I drove at the city leg, our team performed slightly poor compared to the other teams LOL. Despite that, I still feel the 8.9 km/L that we got from the 2.5 liter engine for the CX-5 AWD was very efficient compared to other compact crossover utility from other manufacturers. At day 2, we got a 15.44 km/L fuel efficiency which is just 0.01 away from car No.1.

Aside from Skyactiv, there were a lot of technologies that are included in the car such a iEloop. Mazda CX-5 has a built-in capacitor, which stores energy and then converts it to electricity. With the iEloop technology, there would be no wasted energy.

Another cool feature of the Mazda CX-5 AWD is iStop in which the engines shut off whenever you apply a break. Cool huh? Yes, you can all those premium features on the Mazda CX-5 AWD.
I would like to thank Mazda Philippines for giving us the chance to experience the awesome Mazda CX-5 AWD. If you want to know more about their cars, you may visit mazda.ph
