Take that "Perfect Selfie" with Vivo V5


With the Philippines bagging the Top 2 spots in Time.com's WORLD'S SELFIEST CITIES ranking, it's no wonder that VIVO, the top 5 global smartphone manufacturer, made Manila one of it's stops for it's latest smartphone launch.
In a grand unveiling ceremony held at the Solaire Grand Ballroom, Vivo revealed V5 - the world's first smartphone with a 20-megapixel front camera!
To say the least, it's a perfect smartphone to get the perfect selfie for the "selfie-obsessed" Filipinos! 
“The V5 embodies Vivo’s relentless pursuit of innovation, with technologies and functions that our consumers look for in their device"  says Vivo Philippines Vice President Hazel Bascon. "With the V5 and its industry-leading features, we continue to push the boundaries of a premium mid-range smartphone as we highlight Vivo’s high standards in smartphone design and feature,”

Vivo takes pride with its V5 features and innovation that are set to be the benchmark of future smartphones.


So what's  "The Perfect Selfie" smartphone  made of?

It is equipped with a 20-megapixel Moonlight front-facing camera featuring a 1/2.78” Sony IMX376 camera sensor coupled with a 5P lens system and an aperture of f/2.0. 
It also comes with a front-facing soft-light flash that helps illuminate its subjects whenever they take a selfie, ensuring that its users can capture perfect selfies anytime and anywhere.

Its rear camera, also is no shoo-in, boasting a 13-megapixel sensor that features phase-detect auto-focus that will help users snap photos as they happen.
But in taking the perfect selfie, one must also be proud of the phone he's holding to complete the experience. It must also be one that is sleek and worth to be held up high! Thus, Vivo encased V5 in an all-metal unibody shell back case that comes in champagne gold and rose gold colors. 
Up front, it features a 5.5-inch 1280x720 HD display clad in 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass for protection, giving the V5 an ideal premium feel in the hand. Performance wise, the Vivo V5 is equipped with a MediaTek MT6750 octa-core processor running at 1.5GHz and paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage expandable via micro SD up to 128GB.

And that's not all, the V5 also features a front-facing fast fingerprint scanner capable of unlocking the smartphone in as fast as 0.2 seconds. It also features fast-charging technology to quickly top-up its 3,000mAh built-in battery.
Vivo’s V5 smartphone is also equipped with a 32-bit AK4376 digital to analog converter Hi-Fi chip, as well as a new iteration of its proprietary operating system, Funtouch OS 2.6, now based on Android’s 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system.

Among its new features is an improved version of Vivo’s take on multitasking, Smart Split 2.0, which allows users to view two apps side-by-side. Another feature is the Eye Protection Mode, which filters blue light from the screen to protect its users’ eyesights.

“With the launch of the Vivo V5, Vivo again sets the benchmark of a premium midrange smartphone with perfect selfie features that one would normally only see in flagship offers. Filipinos will once again have a capable and compelling smartphone choice, and one that can fulfill a wide range of roles in their everyday lives,” added Bascon.

Vivo also revealed an upcoming device that is set to supplement the Vivo V5 - the Vivo V5 Plus! Featuring a similar form factor as the V5 smartphone at 5.5 inches, but will feature a 1920x1080 display and 20-megapixel dual front-facing cameras that are set to enhance the perfect selfie experience of its users.

With everyone's holding their breath on the announcement of the V5 ambassador, everyone clapped with gusto as Vivo welcomed Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry as part of the Vivo family.

The two-time NBA MVP and Golden State Warriors point guard will serve as the new face of the Vivo V5, highlighting its perfect selfie capabilities alongside local influencers Mccoy de Leon and Verniece Enciso.

“I’m really thankful for being part of the Vivo family and I’m looking forward to doing more activities with Vivo and its Filipino plans soon,” said Curry.

And finally, the moment everyone was waiting for (nope, it wasn't the raffle for the lucky ones (actually around 15 winners) who will bring home Vivo V5) - the revelation of the price of the Vivo V5! 

Vivo V5 with it's 20 megapixel front camera, 13 megapixel rear cam,  5.5-inch 1280x720 HD display clad in 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass, MediaTek MT6750 octa-core processor running at 1.5GHz and paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage expandable via micro SD up to 128GB - is priced at PhP 12,990!

The Vivo V5 Plus will be coming soon on Philippine shores by early next 2017. Meanwhile, the Vivo V5 will be available on Nov 26 in Vivo concept stores and major retailers nationwide.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau...
