Epic camera, processor among the top features Filipinos love about the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Series

Monday, March 13, 2023

Local survey reveals favorite features among Filipinos who ordered Samsung’s latest flagship line-up




Samsung recently launched its epic Galaxy S23 series. It has undoubtedly created a buzz among Filipinos eager to trade up for a truly premium mobile phone experience. With orders streaming in, a local survey[1] shared exactly what made them want to get their hands on a Samsung Galaxy S23, stat!


Nightography and a 200MP Camera sensor



With the Philippines being the world's selfie capital, is anyone surprised that the epic camera was the top reason why Filipinos pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S23 Series?


Shooting in low light can be challenging for even the most advanced filmmakers, resulting in shaky, unusable footage with lots of noise. The Galaxy S23 Series’ Nightography feature lets you shoot at any light through its multi-frame processing. This dedicated algorithm combines multiple images across frames to reduce noise, enabling anyone to take vivid and optimized videos, even in the dark. Additionally, an enhanced AI object-aware engine and stereo depth map allow the camera to capture clear portraits in detail, making night photos come to life


Aside from the 200MP adaptive pixel sensor on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the Galaxy S23 Series comes equipped with a 10MP Telephoto Camera and the 12MP Ultra-Wide Camera. So every shot comes out picture-perfect. The S23 and S23+ are equipped with 50MP Wide Cameras, while the S23 Ultra offers a 200MP ultra-high resolution. The wide camera lets you capture sharp lines and vivid colors, even when tightly zooming in. Not to be forgotten, the Galaxy S23 Series boasts upgrades for selfies, with an improved 12MP front camera for all three models.


Cinematic Videos






Being able to take cinematic quality videos was another factor that excited Filipinos about the Galaxy S23 series. Recording videos with pro-quality is made possible with the enhanced 8K video at 30 frames per second. Users can combine this with the new 360 Audio Recording feature on Galaxy Buds2 Pro, creating multi-dimensional sound for an even more enhanced video experience.


The latest Snapdragon Processor


For creators and gamers alike, the desire to push limits and constantly reimagine what’s possible requires the latest technology. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Galaxy S23 series brand-new Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform – was a key feature that pushed many Filipinos to pre-order.


When a player is in the middle of the game, even a slight delay can cause critical issues. For instance, racing games require fast-loading screens, so any distraction can get even the most experienced players off track. However, a racing game on Galaxy S23 Ultra provides not only full immersion but also no disruptions. With a display that supports super smooth 120Hz refresh rate, coupled with Qualcomm's Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy, gamers can expect smoother graphics, faster response speeds and a seamless gaming experience.

Powerful Batteries for Streaming and Gaming






There’s nothing worse than having to stop in the middle of a video or a game because one’s battery is running low. The more powerful battery life of the Galaxy S23 Series was definite plus for Filipinos as it makes gaming and movie marathons on one’s phones easier than ever. One can enjoy long-lasting battery life with a battery capacity of 3,900mAh and 4,700mAh on the Galaxy S23 and S23+ respectively, increased by 200mAh each from the previous generation while the Ultra clocks out at a whopping 5,000mAh.


Other features that make the Galaxy S23 the right choice for Filipinos? The Galaxy S23 Series was also designed with the planet in mind as it was made with more recycled materials than ever, furthering Samsung’s inspiring vision for sustainability. The latest Galaxy S23 Series is made from recycled aluminum, glass, PET, and repurposed ocean-bound plastic. Moreover, with a 100% recycled paper package box and paper-based materials used for front and back protectors, the Galaxy S23 series is eco-conscious from the inside out. The total number of parts using recycled materials in the lineup increased to 12.

The Galaxy S23 Series comes in four nature-inspired matte hues: Phantom Black, Cream, Green and Lavender and are now available at Samsung Experience Stores, Authorized Samsung Stores, Lazada, Shopee, Abenson.com and MemoXpress Online. The Galaxy S23 retails for PHP 53,990 for the 128GB variant, and PHP 57,990 for the 256GB variant. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23+ starts at PHP 68,990 for 256GB variant, and PHP 76,990 for the 512GB variant. Lastly, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is available at PHP 81,990 and PHP 89,990 for the 256GB and 512GB variants respectively. A samsung.com-exclusive 1TB Galaxy S23 Ultra is also available at PHP 103,990.

The results are based on an online consumer panel survey and promoter-administered online consumer survey via store intercept.

World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends celebrate the most wonderful tide of the year

Friday, December 9, 2022

World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends have launched two content-packed updates for their two-leading naval MMOs. World of Warships on PC welcomes in 2023 with plenty of new year’s content including a free Container, a "Carol Clash" and New Year’s battles. Alongside this, World of Warships celebrates five years on Steam with an exciting and unprecedented $5USD bounty available for new players on this platform. For console players in World of Warships: Legends, the festivities kick off with a three-week Warships Advent-ure calendar, alongside the Double Impact campaign with two ships waiting at the end, and a number of ships and guises to be claimed in exchange for Legend’s Winter Shards.

Out with the old and in with the new

As 2023 quickly approaches, World of Warships brings players plenty of ways to celebrate the new year. Kicking off these celebrations a free Santa's Gift Container in the Admiralty. With additional Santa's Containers available in the Armory and Premium shop, these Containers are chock full of treats to beat those January blues. Packed with anything from doubloons and coal to one of 174 ships - some of which are rare - players can sail into the new year with ease. 

Warships also sees a Carol Clash kick off halfway through the month, where two teams will go head-to-head as Santa Clauses from the opposing poles to deliver gifts on time. Participate in the event to secure one of two themed commanders with unique voice lines, alongside one of two permanent camouflages, among many other prizes. Finally, five groups of combat missions, entitled “New Year's Battle” offer players their choice of ships - Dido or Canarias - as reward for completing these missions.

To celebrate five years on Steam, World of Warships is offering new players on this platform an easy way to earn $5 USD Steam Wallet credit, by earning the “Amateur” achievement by winning 10 random battles before December 17. Those who are successful will see this credit added to their Steam Wallet within a week of completing the challenge.

Walking in a Warships wonderland

World of Warships: Legends welcomes the holiday season. As part of the festivities, Winter Shards are introduced and can be acquired anywhere from Windroses to Arena mode and purchasing bundles. Secure these shards, and players can unlock plenty of goodies, from winter ships to Commander guises - including the Legendary Japanese cruiser, Yoshino, that comes decked out in her own special holiday skin. A bunch of different crates are also making their way into the game, packed with their own surprises.

But the giving doesn’t stop there, in the classic five-week, 100-milestone format, Legends is welcoming the Double Impact Campaign. Waiting at the end as the prize? Not one, but two very capable Tier VIII ships up for grabs with Italian battleship Marco Polo and its British counterpart, Marlborough. These ships both have impressive guns, Marco Polo’s 16-inch guns aid with taking down enemies as its sturdy armour prevents damage, and Marlborough can do plenty of damage with 16 of its own 14-inch guns.

Finally, World of Warships: Legends gives players not 12, but 21 days of Christmas with its Adventure calendar. Packed full of daily tasks, yielding both daily and weekly prizes, players can work their way to the ultimate prize - a calendar-exclusive Commander Santa guise that can be used on almost every Commander within the game.
