Effortless Shopping tips to all Shoppers On the Go:

Secure Shopping
• For mobile shopping, choose shopping sites with an app. It’s easier to use and most importantly, more secure as it’s harder to tamper with.
• Check news articles about the shopping site to ensure it’s not a temporary online shop that will disappear after pocketing your money.
• Ensure the shopping site has a return policy such as Lazada’s Buyer Protection: online shops without return policies can mean scam or unauthentic products.
• Do not give your password to anyone. Online shops’ email support or call support personnel should never require your password for identification.
• Only use your credit or debit card on sites with a padlock icon in the URL bar. This means the site uses secure communications to prevent any third-party eavesdropping.
• Check for security labels such as PCI-DSS certification. This means the shop has been audited and is certified safe to use. • If you don’t receive an acknowledgement email from the online shop shortly after a purchase, there might be an issue with your purchase or it might be a scam. Call the site’s hotline to verify.
• If you strongly suspect you have been scammed and your credit card information has been stolen, contact your bank or credit card issuer to block the card and investigate.

Savvy Fashionistas

• Pick the right size by using the size chart feature, taking your measurements and checking carefully for any international conversions (UK, US, EU, Japan).
• Ensure the site has an exchange policy like Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy that enables you to return clothes within 7 days, and re-order the outfit in a size that fits you perfectly.
• Only shop for fashion on shopping apps that provide a few angles so you can see exactly how the clothes fit on the model or mannequin.
• Get your friends’ comments or ‘likes’ easily by sharing the item on Facebook or Instagram before buying.
• Read product details to check on the fabrication so you’ll know how the clothes feel on you.

Parenting Shoppers

• Spend quality time with your family instead of getting caught in traffic to the shopping mall. Shopping at the Lazada Mobile App lets you shop at your convenience, any time of the day!
• Diapers and milk powder are not only expensive, but heavy to carry. Look out for online promotions and take advantage of door-step delivery.
• Follow the Lazada Super Moms Facebook page and subscribe to the newsletters to get the latest deals delivered straight to you.
• Don’t let getting overwhelmed in crowded malls and toy stores stop you from giving the best to your kids. Shop for educational toys online, conveniently.
• If you’ve brought the wrong size of maternity clothes, take advantage of Lazada’s 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed policy. Return the wrong size within 14 days (30 for Vietnam), and re-order the outfit in the right size.

Tech Addicts

• Online shopping allows you to compare prices for your favourite gadget. Do keep a look out for sellers on the same site that may offer a bigger discount or bundle deal.
• Searching for phone accessories, power banks and covers is less overwhelming online as you can easily compare your options and colors, and sort them by price.
• Subscribe to Lazada’s newsletter or like our Facebook page to get news on exclusive and limited edition tech launches. • When looking for a gadget in a specific model or colour, check out Lazada’s wide range online first. It’s better than visiting the retail store and discovering the gadget’s sold out.
• Shopping for your favourite gadget online is easy. You can do it anytime of the day with fast and reliable delivery to your home or office.

Samsung Sets The Bar High In Selfie Craze With Samsung Galaxy J Series

Manila, Philippines - August/25/2015 - Filipinos just love posting their #blessed and #thankful moments with friends and family by means of a #selfie. As this trend becomes increasingly popular, Samsung introduces the best selfie device which offers the best-in-class upgraded selfie experience.

The selfie struggle is real

Given that the Philippines is home of fun-loving Filipinos who treat every single life event as an occasion worth celebrating and documenting. In fact, the Philippines is known as the selfie capital of the world. Selfies correspond to stories we want to tell the world— memories we want to preserve at its finest. Nevertheless, our best attempts could still fall short.

It usually takes about five failed selfie shots before a woman settles for the sixth to be shared in social media. Men are just as concerned about getting that perfect snap as they settle only after the fourth attempt.

Admit it or not, a post-worthy slash like-worthy selfie requires a great deal of time and effort. It takes a good number of minutes looking for decent lighting, finding a good background, getting a right angle, and finally selecting a filter before hitting the share button. Sometimes, you settle with one that’s too dark or a bit blurred or has someone cropped out of the frame. Now the question is: how do you best capture selfie-worthy moments at an arm’s length?

Your selfie-ready, selfie-friendly smartphone is now here

Samsung Electronics Philippines Corporation unveils the Samsung Galaxy J Series - Samsung’s best-in-class smartphones that upgrade your selfies to perfect J-Fies. With a 5MP front camera equipped with LED Flash, multiple J-Fie features and large super AMOLED screen, the 5.0” Samsung Galaxy J5 and 5.5” Galaxy J7 definitely set the bar high in the selfie arena. The days of so-so selfies will soon be gone as the new Samsung Galaxy J Series usher in the new age with an upgraded J-Fie experience.

The special J-Fie features make it effortless to achieve a flawless shot whenever and wherever. You can take your J-Fies in dark conditions with the LED Front Flash, make the whole gang fit with the wide angle selfie feature, make sure that no fingers are blocking the photo and that challenging angles are made easy by using the palm selfie feature, and instantly touch up and look fab by simply sliding various beauty face options. Out in the sun or inside a cave, during a party or while at a workout session, your Galaxy J Series will yield nothing but exceptional J-Fies.

Now you never have to worry when you run into a celebrity, or go out on a trip with the family, or simply pose for a #ootd. Go ahead and upgrade your so-so selfies into no-fail J-Fies with the new Samsung Galaxy J-series! Capture life’s best with only the best.

Try out the new Samsung Galaxy J Series at a Samsung Experience Store near you. Get updates on products and launches through Samsung Mobile Philippines on Facebook, @samsungph on Twitter, or visit www.samsung.com.ph.

Allphones Revolutionized Digital Lifestyle As They Introduced AllPhones Shopping Money

Introducing new payment scheme and option which consumer will have the capacity to maximize its credit to buy whether an accessories or another device is new to the Philippine market, Allphones introduced that model to the Philippine consumer.

I was fortunate to be invited by AllPhones to discuss and provide information on what is the business model works and how Filipino consumer and Cabatuenos will benefit with this scheme. The event was held at the Harvest Hotel in Cabanatuan, same time that AllPhones will open their 60th store at the SM Megatrade Center.


During the session, I find the business model is a combination of two options: enjoying a post-paid plan from Globe, and the flexibility of the credit to other options like accessories and other things that AllPhones can offers. To be honest, that kind of approach is what the Filipino consumer is looking for many years and AllPhones will offered it from all walks of life. The marketing department of both entity did their homework, an out-of-the-box approach, and its beneficial to everyone both consumer and the companies who are involved in this business model.

How this work?

The first step that you need to do is to apply and be approved by Globe for their Postpaid plan or opting in on the Smart Money by AllPhone. That option is if you have already an existing phone and you are eyeing for accessories and other merchandise sold by AllPhone branches. By the way, they processing in applying for their postpaid plan is also innovative that this kind of process is applied only in First-world countries; AllPhones introduces a paperless transaction.

Also, AllPhones introduces another innovation which if you don't have a credit card, you will be still be approved thru Home Credit. All you need to do is just present Two valid ID's, and supporting documents for verification. Once you are cleared, you will enjoy the benefits from AllPhones.

After the press-con, and a terrific lunch from Harvest Hotel, the management of the AllPhones went to SM Megatrade for the opening of their 60th branch.

A motorcade was held along the way for brand awareness.


A Ribbon cutting ceremony was held to formally open the Cabanatuan branch of AllPhones.


Other information about All Shopping Money offered by AllPhone for people in Cabanatuan: AllPhones SM Megacenter is offering a "Fast Lane" processing for those employees who are within the Top 8000 Corporations.

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note5 Now In The Philippines

Last week, Samsung Philippines again launched their two formidable arsenal in the mobile phone arena. Samsung released their Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note5 in the Philippines.




Samsung Philippines invited selected personalities from the media, both traditional and digital (blogger) to witness Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5. As Samsung Philippines unveiled the two phones, it is also unveiled officially in other part of the globe; that is in New York where the CEO of Samsung is having a speech to the guest.

This exclusive UNPACKED event was held at Marriott Manila. Led by Business Unit Head for IT & Mobile, Digs Dimagiba, Category Head for Smartphones Ivan Pua, and Marketing Head for IT & Mobile Nio Judalena, Samsung Electronics Philippines gave local media and loyal consumers an intimate introduction, and a chance to be the first to experience the all-new Samsung Galaxy Note5 & Galaxy S6 Edge+.

What are the additional features that comes with both items?

On the technical side of both devices; they are both equipped with a powerful Octacore as to compare with recent release of Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that comes with quad-core processor. The internal system memory of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ was upgraded to 4-Gigabyte memory compare to the recent relase of the model of 3-Gigabyte of system memory; with this upgrade, the phone is more capable of multitasking without sacrificing the performance. Storage will be available in 32 and 64 Gigbyte which will store many data which the user will be using in his/her everyday task. The biggest improvement of both devices is that they carry a large amount of battery, rated at 3000 mah, a big improvement for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+; meaning more talk time and more taks to be delivered both multimedia or business. Also, both devices is already running on Android 5.1 as

For those who are into multimedia, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note5 camera is now equipped with F1.9 Aperture which in photographer's point of view, images are very sharp. This is available for their front and back camera of the device.

As social networking becomes more ubiquitous, consumers expect to share the moments of their lives through photos and video and Samsung is enabling that desire with improved video capabilities.

These include Steady Video, which provides Video Digital Image Stabilization on both the front and rear cameras for sharp, crisp video on-the-go, and Video Collage Mode, which allows users to record and edit short videos easily in various frames and effects. The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 also feature 4K(UHD) video filming and Live Broadcast, which lets users instantly live streams Full HD video straight from the phone to any individual, group of contacts, or even the public through YouTube Live. Anyone who receives the YouTube link from a Galaxy S6 edge+ or Note5 user is able to enjoy live stream video from his or her smartphone, tablet, PC or Smart TV with YouTube connectivity. Since with this capability of the device, hope the Samsung will have a test where both units will be used as a video camera on a certain show to display the capability of the camera as their competitor used on the Burberry fashion show.

Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note5 users will also benefit from Samsung’s advanced camera system, including Quick Launch (double click the home button to launch the camera in less than one second*), Auto Real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Smart Optical Image Stabilization(OIS) and brand-new filters.

The Galaxy S6 edge+ and Note5 feature Samsung’s fast wired and wireless charging technology and the embedded wireless charging technology is compatible with virtually any wireless pad available today. With wired charging, both devices can be fully charged in approximately 90 minutes, and through Samsung’s latest wireless charger, they can be fully charged in approximately 120 minutes.

Samsung’s newest devices are further upgraded to support SideSync, which offers both wireless and wired PC-smartphone integration for seamless connections across devices. Thanks to auto-detection and an ultra quick setup, users can instantly connect their Samsung device to their PC or tablet for easy access to files and data across all platforms and operating systems.

Another feature that I was impressed at the event is that you can write on the screen of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 even you did not unlock its screen as it was shown in the image below.


Now with all the feature that comes with those devices. Samsung Philippines suprised us by announcing if you will pre-order the units on their Samsung authorized dealers from August 17-30, you will enjoy the following benefits which users will be impress because in the history of mobile business, this is the first time for a mobile device brand offered to the consumer, especially in the Philippines.

For those early adopters Filipinos, you will enjoy a insuracen coverage from Malayan insurance, and additional 2 year extended warranty for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5; they will also give you an UBER Blackride option when you pre-order the devices. Other freebies are fast-chargers and micro-usb connector.

Please be advised that this is a first-come, first-served basis; so I suggest you better go to the nearest Samsung dealer for reservation and for details.


By the way, on the personal experience when we where given the units, all I can say is that the phones are sleeks and sophisticated.


Hope you will enjoy the latest release of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Drenzo Solar Hybrid Airconditioning Is Now In The Philippines

DRENZO revolutionized a Hybrid air-condition system in electricity savings as it also translates to money-saving and environment-friendly air conditioners. The solar hybrid air condition has been in the market for the last 8 years and is internationally recognized as an energy-saving appliance in the United Arab Emirates, Australia, the Unites States of America, and Asia. Based on actual test comparisons, DRENZO solar hybrid air condition proved to save more on electricity as compared to current leading brands of air conditioners.

Why such big savings? The technology utilizes a solar thermal collector (to convert both solar as well as ambient energy) to superheat the refrigerant to convert it from a low pressure, low temperature gas into a high pressure, high temperature gas, reducing reliance on the compressor. The compressor’s function is substantially lessened and serves just as a pump to push the refrigerant around the system. Compared to regular air condition, the DRENZO Solar Hybrid Air condition power input is much lower, thus electric consumption is much lesser but without sacrificing nor compromising the aircondition’s cooling capacity.

What is also amazing is that the DRENZO SOLAR HYBRID AIRCON component is mostly mechanical and it’s common knowledge that mechanically built appliances or machines are more durable, functional and lasts much longer than the current system which is mostly electronic system. DRENZO SOLAR HYBRID AIRCON’s cooling capacity stays longer as compared to the regular air condition. This is due to the thermal pressure stored in the vacuum tubes and water tank where the freon/coolant stays cooler longer than regular air condition even if the compressor is in off mode, leaving the blower in the indoor unit consuming electricity of only 40-60 watts like a regular electric fan, thereby saving you electricity and money.

In the evening, DRENZO SOLAR HYBRID AIRCON operates on the same principle since its solar vacuum tube can also collect ambient heat emanating from the outdoor unit or condenser unit, wherein the vacuum tubes and water tank also can hold the heat for up to 3 days under any weather condition. Easy-to-install, easy-to-maintain, reliable, energy-efficient, and durable DRENZO solar-assisted hybrid aircondition also has a built-in air cleaner and deodorizer for the room so you can enjoy dust and pollution-free cool air - everytime.

Available in wall-mounted type, ceiling/floor type, floor-mounted and cassette type, from 1.5 HP up to 6HP (horsepower). DRENZO can also provide centralized aircondition system to commercial, industrial, and institutional establishments like hospitals, schools etc.

Buying Bluetooth Speaker In the Philippines

It seems everyone has a Bluetooth speaker in their product lineup today, and selecting the right one is a dizzying experience inciting even more vertigo with each passing week as the mountain of wireless sound options grows bigger. I'm going to walk you through some of the best Bluetooth options in this buying guide, but first it's good to consider a few basic rules of thumb.

Before diving in to the ocean of Bluetooth audio, consider what your needs are. Do you need a speaker that's portable and compact? Or are you looking for great sound in your home without all those irritating wires? It's also good to have an idea of how much you're willing to spend.

With so many different shapes, sizes and companies to choose from, a good way to wade through it all is simply to remember that the names that are already established in home audio and Bluetooth audio in particular are going to be your best bets. I've owned, demoed and reviewed a number of different Bluetooth speakers from a wide array of manufacturers, and the old adage about getting what you pay for generally holds true, but so does the one about the value of experience.

Go with recognized brand names and avoid super-cheap speakers, and you're also likely to avoid one other complaint you often hear about Bluetooth, that its audio is noticeably inferior to other options like traditional wired speakers or AirPlay sound systems. Yes, it can be argued that Bluetooth's sound quality is technically a step down, however it has improved greatly in recent years, and the vast majority of consumers who aren't obsessive audiophiles are unlikely to notice the difference compared to wired or more expensive wireless options.

With that basic primer in mind, let's look at some specific Bluetooth speaker categories and models.

High-end portables

Most people are looking for a Bluetooth speaker big enough to deliver high-quality sound but still small and durable enough to be thrown in a backpack or suitcase. Not surprisingly, you'll find premium audio brand Bose at the top of the heap here, with itsSoundlink Bluetooth Speaker III. The third generation of the Bose take on Bluetooth is just out this month and will set you back about US$300, but it sets the standard for portable Bluetooth audio. It's a little large, but Bose offers smaller versions as well, which I'll get to later.

The Soundlink III from Bose

Jawbone's Big Jambox is a potential runner-up in this category, that doesn't quite measure up to the best Bose has to offer in terms of sound, but it's a solid option that's a little less bulky and might save you $30 or so.

Middle range compact portables

Here is where quality speakers get a little more rugged and smaller, and so do their prices. If you're willing to sacrifice a little bit of volume and power in order to save some money or find something a little more portable, then this is the category you should be shopping.

The Logitech UE Boom

Bose still leads the way here with its smaller Soundlink Mini, and it still comes at a price premium over arguably more hip options like Logitech's cylindrical UE Boom speaker.

Jawbone's Mini Jambox also offers top-notch sound at this level, and JBL's Charge speaker is also worth considering and may offer a little more value at a lower price.

If you take another step down in price, in the $80 - $120 range, you'll find less powerful ultra-compact offerings like JBL's Flip speaker and Logitech's UE Mobile Boombox that will still get the job done. This range is also where we find the Oontz line from Cambridge Soundworks, which attempts to offer inexpensive but still acceptable takes on each size of Bluetooth speaker. For example, the Oontz XL is meant to compete with the Big Jambox, but is available for almost half the price.

Budget options

Below $80 the field of speakers starts to get very, very crowded, with lots of new entrants that you may or may not have heard of. These models are likely to be quite basic, offering simple sound and perhaps a speakerphone option. The Oontz and its stylish sibling the Oontz Angle are a few reliable options here. Among the lesser-known entrants, I've had good luck with the Phoenix 2 from Beacon Audio and I'm also quite partial to the nice-looking, compact and durable speakers from Bem Wireless that are marketed to university students.

The Oontz Angle from Cambridge Soundworks

Ultra-rugged or compact Some of the smallest Bluetooth speakers out there are looking to carve out that niche to become the go-to way to enjoy and share sound on the trail, the road or anywhere else where extreme durability and compactness are required.

Outdoor Technology is a standout here, with a speaker, the Buckshot, that can likely survive being dropped off a cliff or into a creek and is about the size of a candy bar. The Philips Shoqbox also gets rave reviews from active outdoor audiophiles.

For road trips, I came to depend on the tiny Bluetune Bean from Divoom, one of the few super-simple ultra-budget options that defies the "you get what you pay for" rule. The HMDX Jam Plus and JBL Micro Wireless speaker also get similar reviews at this end of the spectrum.

Home audio replacements If you're looking to get rid of all that speaker wire in your home, there are a few Bluetooth options, besides simply putting the Bose Soundlink in the middle of your home.

One of the more compelling and affordable options I've found is the Trio from Bem Wireless. These three large speakers all connect to a base unit, which then connects wirelessly to your phone or other device. Each speaker can be moved around your house to keep the tunes flowing from room to room. The range isn't superb, but it makes for a nice party.

Trio from Bem Wireless

Samsung's DA-E750 100-Watt Dual Audio Dock is both AirPlay and Bluetooth compatible, and represents probably the best-looking melding of your old HiFi and wireless technology, for a price.

Once you go Bluetooth, it's very hard to go back to the world of wires. Enjoy living a louder life and let us know in the comments if there's any awesome speakers out there that we missed.
