Adopting the catch phrase of a local ice cream drumstick ad, we’d like to start with this: “Ano bang mabibili ng P4,000 pesos nyo?” (What can your PHP 4,000 pesos buy?) Well in the local smartphone world, you’d probably expect a low-end Quad- or Dual-Core device with a 4” or so screen. Not so with the new Cherry Mobile Flare 3 – the third device in the line that launched the local android smartphone trend. Packing a 5” IPS qHD display; Quad-Core processor; increased memory space; battery; improved cameras; and even the newest Android operating system (4.4 Kitkat), we wouldn’t fault you to think the price would be higher either. But its not, the Flare 3 is going to be sold for PHP 3,999. Interested? Check out our launch preview video and specs below!

When we heard Xiaomi was going to expand its horizons to the Philippines back in April, we already knew it was going to be a gamechanger. What we didn’t expect though, was for it to happen so fast (and furious). Three months later, we now live in a world where the Mi3 has been available here for 4 weeks. Packing a Snapdragon 800 processor; 5.0” FullHD Gorilla Glass 3 display; large 3,050mAh Battery; and running Android 4.4 Kitkat; this phone can easily keep up with even the most expensive 1st Tier flagships and is priced at half the cost – PHP 10,599. But is it too good to be true or are we truly in an era of pure consumer bliss? You can find out in our full Xiaomi Mi3 review!

Solid State Drives (SSDs), the market’s answer to nearly instant access to data on a storage chip, has always been the best at what it does – speeding up bootup & load times of our favorite software. That said, SSD capacities have always been much smaller than platter-type Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). Solutions to combine the advantages of the two storage solutions have been limited – until Western Digital introduced the new high performance Black² Dual Drive earlier this year. Packed in a standard 2.5” laptop HDD design and occupies just one drive bay, the Black² should answer the need for speed and storage in today’s increasingly demanding world. Here is our review.
