Live With the King

The first smartphone that I had was an android. From then on, I consider myself as a loyal android user. I may have switched phones a couple of times, but have never considered shifting to other with different operating system. I just love android, the simplicity, the usability.

Now I am in search of a smartphone, a new smartphone that is different from what I have now. A smartphone that will make me appreciate an all-in one technology. Huawei Nexus 6p leads among the bunch of smartphones in the market today that I have searched on in terms of the following;

Iconic Hardware Design

 

Built with full metal uni-body using an anodized aluminium, thus improving wear resistance and prevents body color fading. Designed and molded with 3D curved glass and diamond chamfers, giving it an elegant and stylish feel.

Faster-than-ever Performance

Huawei Nexus 6p is equipped with Octa-core Qualcomm^® Snapdragon^™ 810 v2.1 processor for an innovative mobile experience. Imagine streaming a 4K Ultra HD video or downloading with a download speed of up to 450Mbps, wow that is truly something! This powerful technology is paired with Android 6.0 Marshmallow for fresher and faster-than-ever performance made to handle today’s tough mobile usage.

Longer Battery Life

Of course, with that power specification, it definitely needs a battery to compensate them all. Thus, Huawei Nexus 6p comes with 3450mAh battery, one of the largest today, for a long and great battery life. And here’s more, worry not, because when the battery went dead, it only takes 10 minutes of charging for you to be able to use it again, the benefit of fast charging capability brought by the USB Type C port.

Best Google Experience

I am a person that uses Google a lot. In fact, I simply can’t live without it. Knowing how Huawei Nexus 6p teamed up with Google, I think I found the best mobile phone I ever wanted. Google Search for research,  YouTube for video streaming, Google Play to download children’s apps for the kids,  Google Maps to take me to places I’ve never been, and of course Gmail to check my personal and  work related emails anytime, anywhere.

Powerful Camera

The best feature for me is the powerful camera that can capture more light. Most of the android mobiles that I have tried really suck when it comes to the camera capture during low-light. It usually gives dark and grainy results, just disappointing. But with Nexus 6p, it step up to 1/2.3-inch 12.3MP image sensor (rear camera) resulting to 1.55micron pixels, thus, allowing it to collect more lights to produce superb picture quality.

Wow, with that camera, I have no worry everytime I go on personal or business travels. I only have to take this 178g gadget with me, snaps and memories will definitely be recorded.

Huawei Nexus 6p #MakeItPossible and is truly the #KingOfAndroid, and I certainly want to #LiveWithTheKing. #LiveHuawei, #HuaweiXGoogle

A Remembrance From My Online Journey

This a a very overdue post. Supposedly shared December last year but was too busy to complete. Nevertheless, better late that never. 

I’ve been blogging on and off for the past few years, ranting personal experiences and or just talking nonsense. Because I don’t really have the skill in writing (especially English), monetizing my blogs will be very difficult. Over the years I have received only few “once in a blue moon” opportunities from the paying sites that I have joined. The pays I got were kept on my paypal account, and just enough to buy and renew my domains. 

 

It was last year that my personal blog got more opportunities from a paying site that I have recently joined. Getting $5 for a minimum of 60 words post is very handy for me.  I got more views too, thanks to my friends at the bloggers community, they helped me get noticed. In fact I also received two collaborations from the two biggest online shopping malls in the country. 

Last month, I finally got a Unionbank EON card and withdrawn my paypal earnings. And guess what I got for myself? A smart camera that I can carry all the time! I needed a smaller camera to continue my blogging journey because the DSLR is too bulky, and my smartphone has limitations.

I was eyeing for the red Samsung WB250F Smart Camera displayed at SM City with price tag of P 11,990.00 for months already. Because I love colored gadgets, especially those with striking color, I was dreaming for it.

Two months after purchase, the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is still alive and kicking!

It has survived the everyday use of our 2 year old boy who loves watching his favorite children’s videos that I have installed. He sometimes dropped it and stepped on it which actually made me scream without voice coming out from my mouth, too afraid that it might break. But fortunately it's still working after all it has been through.  Cool huh!

InstaPic: Fusion Bolt

One of the items in my wishlist is a tablet preferably a Samsung Tab, unfortunately my budget can't allow it. Then here comes other brands joining the tablet market, claiming high-end technical specifications almost the same as other popular brands but at a lower price.

Cherry Mobile had released the first ever Quadcore tablet from a local brand, the Fusion Bolt. At a tag price of P3,999.00 you will enjoy the following specs;

• Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
• 7-inch HD IPS Display, 1280×800 resolution, 216ppi
• 1GHz quad-core Actions Semiconductor ATM7025 processor
• Vivante GC1000+ GPU
• 1GB RAM
• 8GB internal storage
• expandable up to 32GB via microSD card
• WiFi
• 2-megapixel main camera
• VGA front camera
• microUSB v2.0
• miniHDMI slot
• Super HD 2160p video support
• 3.5mm audio jack
• 4000mAh Li-Ion battery

The gadget was unavailable when we first searched for it two weeks ago. I left my mobile number in one of their stall here in the city and last week I got a message that two units were already available. Without second thought, hubby and I hurriedly went to Lim Ket Kai and purchased the white CM Fusion Bolt. 

I'm not a hard core gamer nor hubby, all we needed is a tablet that is capable of playing children educational applications for our son to watch, an ebook reader and can play avi movies + read SRT files (for Korean series). I actually was able to play nonstop video for 4 hours before the battery had emptied.

Having this gadget at a price affordable for people like us who want to be techie-techie but with no budget, Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt is way too enjoyable and already satisfying for us.

Goodbye 1000D! Welcome 60D

I'm saying goodbye to my first love, my Canon 1000D, his time is up, the errors keep on coming and the pop-flash won't work anymore.  His quality service to me will finally end after four years.

 
After saving up for my WANT for a long time, finally she's here, my new boyfriend, my new Canon 60D DSLR Camera with 18-135mm kit lens. Yippee!

I been wishing for her for quite some time now, in fact she's in my birthday wishlist for 2 years.

Too excited... I pointed the lens to anything I see around me. But I chose to share the following taken from our front yard with no tweaks just straight from the camera, no particular setting, only the picture mode was set at "P".

 The yellow okra flower

 The violet flower that I seldom get the right color when photograph. But with 60D it turn out well. A little practice with the setting, I think I'll be able to get it right.

 Dry weeds, I was trying to focus the Christmas tree like branches but to no avail, I think a different lens will do.

 The papaya leaves.

 The Croton plant, locally known as San Francisco plant. It has tiny flowers. I took a macro shot of this flower sometime ago here. 

The flower turn out well, after cropping the above picture.

It will take me forever to master this new gadget, but I think I'll do great in the distant future. For now, I'll take it one step at a time. Goodluck to me! 

Flowers on Saturday

Is my DSLR retiring soon?

From Error 01 now my entry level Canon 1000D DSLR camera is also experiencing Error99. Thinking I'll be saying goodbye to my beloved camera soon is frightening especially now that I can't afford to buy another one. it sucks!


Hubby and I had had to do research what causes this problems. The error 01 could be on the lens because every time the 18-55mm lens is set to 18mm the error comes out we had to adjust it at 24mm up so that we can use it without having the error.

Accordingly, upgrading the firmware of the camera will eliminate error 99, we did the upgrade but unfortunately it still has the error every time we did the first shot. Had to turn the camera off, remove the battery and restart it so that we can take few more shots before it will experience another Err99.

Very stressful and irritating, but I guess we'll be doing the process from time to time, until we'll be able to discovered the real cause or until we'll be able to send the item at Canon Service Center in Davao City.

*sigh*
