Simplus celebrates its 5th anniversary with new 1-year replacement warranty

The most useful thing in Simplus’ 5th-anniversary announcement isn’t just a celebrity or a slogan: it’s the warranty for its products. Starting this July, every Simplus product sold in the Philippines ships with at least one year of free replacement coverage: no service center runaround, just a simple swap. For a small-appliance category where young, first-time renters have historically been stuck choosing between unbranded cheap units and big-ticket names they can’t afford, that policy quietly repositions Simplus as a reliable option worth considering. The warranty is the spine of the brand’s “Live Young with Simplus” campaign, fronted by Filipino ambassador Donny Pangilinan. Pangilinan’s pitch is aimed at twenty-somethings furnishing their first place, the demographic Simplus says it’s been building around since launching in Thailand in 2021. The company claims to have reached more than 18 million households across So...

HONOR X7e: 7,500mAh battery, Helio G81 Ultra CPU, 120Hz HD+ display

HONOR Philippines has a new midrange phone, the HONOR X7e. Like many midrange offerings today, the HONOR X7e relies on its big battery to be its highlight feature. It has a 7,500mAh capacity that can last for up to 31.7 hours of long video playing and can retain good battery health even after over 1,000 charge cycles. HONOR paired that big battery with 45W HONOR SuperCharge adapter. Sadly, it only has a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, a chipset that lacks 5G connectivity. You do get 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. Like its processor, there’s also a lackluster 6.61-inch display with only an HD+ resolution. You do get a high 120Hz refresh rate. But like many of its phones, HONOR is making a big deal of the X7e’s durability. It is IP64 dust and splash-resistant and has received an SGS 5-star rating for its 1.8m drop protection. The HONOR X7e is now in the Philippines for Php14,999 . HONOR X7e Specs Android 16, MagicOS...

This will cover transactions made using BPI Online, the BPI app, VYBE, BizKo, and BanKo. In a statement, BPI President and CEO TG Limcaoco said this will improve banking inclusivity for all Filipinos. “We expect this to drive more frequent use of digital transfers as customers no longer have to factor in per-transaction costs,” Limcaoco said.
