vivo brings in a photo contest for the nocturnals with “Club 21:00” 9PM — a high time to be one’s true self.

It’s a popular belief that the world is made for morning people. Everyone has heard it all before — “early to bed, early to rise,” “the early bird catches the worm,” “nothing good happens after 2 AM,” and so on and so forth. But for those people whose circadian rhythms beat to embrace the night, the late hours could mean better concentration and mental alertness, and a peaceful opportunity to be closer to themselves.

A woman of many passions, Club 21:00 member Maine Mendoza dedicates her evenings to her creative endeavors.

Inspiring a community of young Filipinos for whom the nighttime holds special significance, global smartphone brand vivo dawns the “Club 21:00”. Club 21:00 stems from the idea that 9 PM is usually the prime hour when night owls check out from their tasks for the day, and checks in to bring their dreams and passions to life.

With this, vivo launches a social media contest — the Club 21:00 Self-Portrait — to encourage the evening people to seize the night and capture their most creative moments. All they have to do is “check in” by sharing a post of their 21:00 pursuit on Instagram and tag @vivo_philippines and @viceasia. They should also include the hashtag #CheckInToClub2100. The contest will choose 21 best entries and award a winner to receive a brand-new vivo smartphone.

Empowering self-expression and self-care is smartphone brand vivo’s way of helping people live through the pandemic

While the global smartphone brand, vivo, has always been known as the brand that advocates for self-expression, it became all the more meaningful when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. It gave the brand more reason to innovate its upcoming unit releases and support users in ways that it can.

Besides helping cater to the needs of those directly affected at the onset through PPE donations and such, vivo also sought to address the mental health impact of the pandemic on its consumers by developing smartphones and campaigns that could complement and elevate lifestyles despite being stuck at home.

Midway through 2020, vivo launched its V19 lineup, with advanced night photography and gaming capabilities, through the “Ignite Your Night” campaign which called on millennials to continue to pursue their passions at night, when virtual work and classes are usually over.

Four accessories to take your vivo Y31 gaming experience to the next level

Smartphones are undoubtedly today’s favorite gadget for games. They make games accessible from almost anywhere and mobile internet carriers have been competitive in offering gaming promos. But there are additional tools that make smartphones the best gaming devices: the accessories.

For both beginners and experts, here are budget-friendly gaming accessories that shall turn your phone into a full-on gaming machine.

A portable phone controller

Mobile gaming has gotten obviously better in recent years with internal components of smartphones getting stronger. However, tapping aggressively on the phone’s screen without any tangible control makes for a disappointing experience. A controller can save the day.

Standouts in the budget-friendly list are controllers that work both android phones and those that mimic PlayStation keys.

vivo Expands its R&D Network in Xi’an China, Investing in the Image System

vivo officially expanded its R&D network in Xi’an China in February 2021 to further invest in the image system. The Xi’an R&D center will host project debugging and development as well as algorithm pre-research as they apply to the image system. It will offer technical support that accelerates the materialization of R&D results and provides superior professional photography experiences.

As a user-oriented and design-driven company, vivo is dedicated to optimizing the image system and other long-term strategic tracks to strengthen its differentiation-based competitive advantages. Since 2017, vivo has developed a collaborative network of global R&D centers for image system development in Shenzhen, Taipei, Tokyo and San Diego. The company’s R&D centers for image system development combine to employ more than 700 people, who dedicate their careers to improving hardware, software and algorithms while also advancing research on frontier technologies. With the newly-established Xi’an R&D center, vivo bolsters its global R&D network and expands its resources to provide users with superior products and services.

Quarantine puts more value on battery life; vivo Y31 fills the demand

With the spike of activities involving work from home, distance learning, gaming, and content streaming, the quarantine has made Filipinos increasingly dependent on virtual connectivity. But as the restrictions are starting to ease up, can current smartphone batteries keep up with these new formed online habits?

The demand for longer run time in online devices is evident with the Philippines averaging an hour more in internet usage, spending 10 hours and 56 minutes daily online during the pandemic year which is up from 9 hours and 45 minutes the year before.

Smartphone brands race to fill the gap in the increasing demands for productivity. From the usual 4,000 peak performance of early 2020 smartphones, vivo piled up more run time in its recent releases like the Y20 in August 2020, Y30 in December 2020 and the Y31 in February 2021 -- all with 5,000 mAh batteries.

This updated performance in smartphone batteries has doubled in recent years as people rely on their mobile phones more for practical daily activities like serving as their alarm clocks, checking the weather or performing their fitness routines. More practical smartphone uses, however, become more apparent during the pandemic like managing deliveries and ordering food.
