HMD Asha 305: UNISOC SC9832E CPU, 5″ FWVGA display, 2,500mAh removable battery

HMD has introduced a new smartphone with some pretty dated specs, even for its price. Meet the HMD Asha 305. While the official specs list was not confirmed by the company, a website called gsmchoice.com reveals that the HMD Asha 305 is powered by a UNISOC SC9832E processor, a chipset released way back in 2018. It only has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It also has a very underwhelming 5-inch IPS display with only an 854 x 480 resolution and thick bezels on top and bottom. There’s a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel selfie-snapper on the front. What’s worse, it ships with Android 14 Go software. Also, it only has a 2,500mAh battery. On the upside, the battery is removable, so you can easily replace it. The HMD Asha 305 is now listed on the Nokia Mobile Flagship Store on Shopee with a price of Php3,990 . HMD Asha 305 Specs Android 14 Dual SIM, Dual Standby 5-inch IPS FWVGA display, 854 x 480 resolution, ~195ppi UNI...

Xiaomi launches C701 Pro home camera in the Philippines

Xiaomi-C701-Pro

Xiaomi has released a new indoor security camera in the Philippines, the Xiaomi C701 Pro. The device is aimed at families who want to keep an eye on young children, aging parents, or pets while they are away from home.

The camera uses two lenses to deliver clear video. One lens captures wide shots, while the other handles close-ups. Users can zoom in up to 9 times to see fine details. The camera can also lock onto a moving person or pet and follow them around the room.

Nighttime viewing is another strong point. The C701 Pro can show colour images in low light, which many security cameras struggle with. Its night vision mode uses infrared lights that do not glow red, so it won’t bother anyone trying to sleep.

Privacy is a growing concern with home cameras, and Xiaomi has added some thoughtful touches. The C701 Pro comes with a physical cover that slides over the lens. You can close it manually or through the mobile app when you do not want the camera recording.

The device processes motion alerts and sound detection on the camera itself instead of sending data to outside servers. This keeps personal footage more secure.

The camera includes a speaker and microphone for two-way conversations. You can speak to family members through the app and hear their responses. There is also a handy shortcut for older users or young children. They can make a simple “OK” hand signal to the camera, which triggers a call to your phone.

Setting up the device is straightforward. It connects to home Wi-Fi networks and pairs quickly using Bluetooth. The Xiaomi Home app brings everything together in one dashboard.

The Xiaomi Smart Camera C701 Pro sells for Php5,999. Shoppers can find it on Xiaomi’s official website, through Shopee and Lazada, or at physical Xiaomi stores across the country.

Following a long break from solo adventures, two major new games in the Tomb Raider series were revealed at The Game Awards 2025. The last time players controlled Lara in a core series game was 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Now, publisher Amazon Games and longtime developer Crystal Dynamics are bringing her back with a pair of distinct projects. The first is Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis , a full remake of the original 1996 game that started it all. It is being built with Unreal Engine 5 by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog.

Sei Crypto Wallet to come pre-installed on Xiaomi phones

Xiaomi and The Sei Development Foundation, a non-profit that promotes the Sei network, have entered a global partnership that aims to promote mainstream blockchain adoption. From 2026, Xiaomi phones available outside mainland China and the United States will come pre-installed with a wallet and crypto discovery app developed by Sei Labs. This would definitely help increase the adoption of the network as Xiaomi is one of the biggest smartphone vendors in the world, just behind Samsung and Apple. Participating phones will be able to conduct peer-to-peer payments, explore Web3 products, and access decentralized applications without the need to download third-party apps. What’s more, Sei plans to implement stablecoin payments in over 20,000 Xiaomi stores, starting in Hong Kong and the European Union. Sei Labs aims to “build a decentralized NASDAQ” and targets to accommodate 200,000 transactions per second as it aims to shift the financial ecosystem on-chain. To make it possible, th...
