Samsung Galaxy S4 Spotted at Globe, Claims Device Almost Here

The Samsung Galaxy S4, the South Korean manufacturer’s latest masterpiece, was announced recently. Pundits and fans alike have nothing but praises for it. And now it seems that it will grace the Philippines soon.

One of the leading mobile providers in the Philippines, Globe Telecom, has put up a banner on its front page claiming that “The Samsung Galaxy S4 is coming.” Now normally we’d expect the Philippine announcement to be quick, but not this quick. One thing’s for sure though: The “Life Companion” is coming and it’s coming fast.

WeChat mobile messaging app is officially here

If you love Whatsapp or Viber or Line, there’s no reason for you not to love one of the most popular social media communication app in the world today, WeChat, which was officially launched yesterday at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel.

WeChat is an easy-to-use and fun application that allows users to chat with friends and family and lets them connect with other users anywhere in the world. Pinoys are very social-media savvy and WeChat is sure to hit it big in the country according to Poshu Yeung, Vice President of International Business, Tencent (the largest Internet company in China).

WeChat is an integration of the best features we used to enjoy in different apps. Here, users can do video and voice chat, share photos, group chat and a lot more. Brand Ambassadors Iya Villania and Drew Arellano shared their fun experiences in using WeChat.

WeChat has the “Hold to Talk” feature that works like a walkie-talkie, allowing users to do quick voice messaging than sending a text. I think it’s more personal this way. View Iya and Drew’s TVC featuring the Hold to Talk here:

One of the exciting features of WeChat include location-based social plug-in called “Look Around,” wherein WeChat locates the users in your area and you can instantly exchange messages using their animated emoticons or even voice or video chat. The emoticons are really cute and may be customized too!

Another unique location-based plug-in is the “Shake” option, wherein WeChat can locate users who shake their phones the same time. In a way, the shaking creates the initial connection between you and a potential new friend.

WeChat can be downloaded on iOS, Andrioid, Symbian, BlackBerry, and Windows Phones absolutely for free! It is worth noting though that when you download WeChat in your Android and iOS gadgets, you will be prompted that the application contains material not suited for 17 years old and below.
