Take A Snap in Style with the upgraded camera of the OPPO’s Find N3 Flip

Flip phones are often branded as cutesy phones, but people adore them for various reasons! One big draw is the nostalgia they bring—something is charming about that satisfying snap when you close them. Plus, they're super pocket-friendly when folded, making them really convenient to carry around. 

Beyond nostalgia, flip phones offer a break from the usual candy bar-style smartphones, giving users a unique and stylish alternative. They can be more durable, too; that foldable design protects the screen like a secret weapon against scratches and cracks. 

Blending sophistication and functionality, OPPO offers its second-generation flip phone, the OPPO Find N3 Flip. While it has several new upgrades, it's the camera advancements that are one of the main highlights. 

Here’s what you need to know about the added features in the  OPPO Find N3 Flip to bring out style and quality in your photos.

Pioneering Camera Features in a Flip Phone

The camera system in the OPPO Find N3 Flip introduces a wave of innovations, marking several groundbreaking firsts: it pioneers the premier flagship triple-camera setup on a flip phone, includes the flagship telephoto camera lens on a foldable device, and proudly holds the title of being the first flip phone to have expansive camera sensors. 

Step into a world of photography wonders with the phone’s extraordinary range of camera lenses designed to transform your photography experience. The OPPO Find N3 Flip has a 50MP primary camera, a 48MP ultrawide-angle lens and a 32MP portrait camera with a telephoto sensor. 

First Flip Phone with Telephoto Portrait Camera Capability

OPPO takes pride in having the first flip phone embracing optical zoom magic, seizing subjects with a focal length that defines perfection using a telephoto portrait lens in its camera system. The OPPO Find N3 Flip has a 32MP, RGBW IMX709 sensor and an f/2 aperture. It signals a breakthrough in high-resolution imaging, enabling virtually lossless hybrid zooming up to five times, marking a watershed moment for versatile camera systems in flip phones. Paired seamlessly with portrait mode, its focal length beautifully immortalizes subjects, rendering a natural, flattering charm. When it comes to night portraits, it expertly tames noise, keeping a balance in every intricate detail.

More to Love in the Camera Setup and Modes

One camera feature that entices users is the ability to make taking photos easier. The OPPO Find N3 Flip reveals the FlexForm Capture feature that will allow you to take a selfie using its main camera and use its outer display as a viewfinder. 

When capturing that perfect selfie moment, users can now preview it effortlessly on the cover screen while holding the OPPO Find N3 Flip. Easily transition to the main display by folding the flip phone halfway to activate FlexForm Mode. This mode reconfigures the preview to the top half of the screen and the camera controls to the bottom, creating an ideal setup for steady tripod-assisted captures.

Keeping the features previously introduced in its predecessor like the waist-level capture and FlexForm time-lapse.

Experience Flagship Photography and ProXDR Screen

If you’re someone who enjoys taking landscape photos or aiming to capture photos in vivid details, you’d love these added OPPO Find N3 Flip camera features. With the OPPO Computational Photography, one can now capture images in detailed highlights and shadows and exhibit them in perfection with the ProXDR Screen.

In traditional HDR fusion, commonly adopted in smartphones, photos tend to have an unnatural vibe like subjects that appear too bright against the backdrop or noticeable halos around objects, and photos lacking depth and vitality due to limitations in the HDR process. Through OPPO’s cutting-edge technology, the initial brightness remains captured in the moment. The intricate pixel-level adjustments meticulously fine-tunes HDR images, giving rise to visually stunning photos that authentically display rich contrasts in highlights and shadows. The result? A more natural and captivating image experience.

With the ProXDR innovative screen in place, photos dazzle, offering up to eight times more dynamic range compared to displays without ProXDR. Enjoying photos results in the richest display experience, whether reliving selfies, capturing lively parties, cherishing your pets, revisiting holiday memories, or embracing any treasured moments that fill your gallery.

PLDT Group Expands Mental Health Awareness to Indigenous Communities

Pastor Benny Capuno, a tribal leader in Porac, Pampanga, knows all too well the great distress his Ayta community goes through when an earthquake strikes. In April 2019, a 6.1-magnitude earthquake devastated Porac, affecting hundreds and killing 10, five of whom were from the Ayta community. For Capuno, it reminded him and the community of the fragility of life, especially as when the same town was devastated by the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption. It also reminded him of the mental well-being of those who survived.

So when the community partnered with PLDT and Smart, they co-developed a Psychological First Aid Program that catered to the mental health needs of the community. According to Capuno, the Psychological First Aid Training enhanced the awareness of the community to better address future psychological needs.

Capuno serves as a mamuun or tribal leader of the Indigenous People’s Political Structures in CADT 123 or the ancestral domain of the Ayta MagIndi and Ayta MagAntsi in Porac, Pampanga.

“Malaking pasalamat namin kasi natuto kami na kami mismo meron pala kaming kakayanan. Natuto kami kung paano makinig, ‘yung paano namin labanan ‘yung nagaganap at tsaka natutunan namin kung ano ‘yung kahulugan ng mga nagaganap [sa amin] at paano namin mapagtagumpayan at mas mapalakas pa. Natuto kami sa parte na iyon at kami mismo, kaya naming lagpasan ang mga ganitong sitwasyon,” Capuno said. (We are really grateful because we learned that we also have the capacity [to address the mental health needs of our community]. [Through the training] we learned how to listen. We learned that we can fight the difficult things that are happening to us. We learned to understand the meaning of what is happening around us and how we can overcome and strengthen these. We learned in those aspects, and we now we know that we, ourselves, can overcome these situations.)

“‘Yun ang doon sa mga pangyayaring pagkaba, takot, at ‘yung kamalayan ay natutunan namin – bagong kamalayan sa amin. Masaya kami dahil natutunan namin ‘yung akala namin ‘yung pag-aaral ng kalusugang pang-sikolohikal ay natutunan namin na akala namin, hindi puwede sa amin. Pero ngayon pala, puwedeng puwede. At kami mismo pala ay puwedeng makapagsagawa ng ganoon,” Capuno added. (Those situations [where we experience] nervousness [and] fear, we learned some awareness – it was a new awareness for us. We are very happy because we are open to learning new awareness and that we learned more about the psychological health care because we thought it was something that we cannot learn ourselves, but then, we learned how it’s possible. That it is possible for us to do it and it is possible for us to implement this kind of initiative.)

Promoting mental health strength as fundamental to digital wellness is a key part of PLDT and Smart’s continuing commitment to help the Philippines contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) #3 that stands for good health and well-being.

Globe-owned IT Solutions Company Yondu Highlights Importance of Cybersecurity Tools and Services

MANILA, Philippines — With the recent slew of cyber attacks on various government and private entities’ websites in the country, the importance of cybersecurity has once again been put under the spotlight, with calls to further bolster the country’s defenses. Yondu, the top IT solutions company wholly owned by Globe, believes that while progress has been apparent in recent years, there’s still a lot of work to be done to improve cybersecurity in the country.

Dennis Paul Sanchez, Chief Information Security Officer of Yondu, noted that both big and small businesses are at risk of cyber threats and attacks, reiterating the need for cybersecurity measures.

Cybersecurity ensures the protection of a business through up-to-date software, well-informed employees, and safe practices. When a business’ website gets cyber-attacked, it could potentially lose data, profit, and credibility.

Hence, Yondu has developed solutions that help prevent cyber attacks and tools that quickly respond to threats to lessen the impact on companies and organizations. Yondu aims to ensure its partners are well-equipped to protect sensitive data and proprietary information.

Sanchez explained that Yondu has different approaches. There is the proactive and reactive approach wherein a team of Yondu experts would monitor and assess the company’s state of cybersecurity first and respond accordingly. Another is the predictive approach - threat intelligence in which the Yondu team uses data analytics to predict threats based on dark web criminal behavior, previous cyber attacks, and keeping up with current trends.

Whatever the approach, Yondu assesses the needs of a business and analyzes the risks it may encounter before recommending tailored solutions. Yondu then works closely with the company or organization to meet the suggested standards. 

While Yondu is pushing for tighter cybersecurity measures across different industries, it acknowledges that not every business can afford to avail the best solutions. Thus, it is offering tools and procedures that are cost-efficient and cost-effective based on the needs of the business, preventing them from overspending. 

With increasingly meticulous phishing scams and simultaneous cyber-attacks becoming more common, Yondu urges businesses to start investing in cybersecurity solutions to prevent attacks that could also target customers.

“There's no single-bullet approach. Only having one or two layers of protection is not enough anymore. You need a lot of measures in place to be protected, so a third-party service provider is needed to enforce these solutions and prevent the risk of customer loss, data breach, loss of profit, and damage to business reputation,” Sanchez said.
