The Red Transformation – Luxury within Reach

Manila, Philippines, August 8, 2016 – Redfox Technologies International Ltd., one of the country’s leading sources of innovative IT solutions, has officially changed its image to strengthen the brand locally and globally. With a new brand identity that supports the tagline, “Luxury within Reach,” the company is set to provide premium products that will cater to the higher-end market and millennials.

Moving Forward

From being a PC manufacturing company to becoming a provider of end-to-end solutions and globally-acclaimed products, Redfox has opted to widen its product portfolio, now providing a premium and luxurious selection of products that include its latest line of smartphones, laptops, gaming PCs, and other peripherals. This is in addition to its existing lineup of pioneering products. Redfox will also continue to offer products dealing with education and the government.

The company has a solid industry experience as an end-to-end solution provider. As it continued to develop, it formed new sub-companies to provide high-quality products, delivering all the hardware and software resources, and engaging from conceptualization, to production, and up to the distribution of the finish product.

Said sub-companies are Redfox Laboratory International Ltd., a company that puts effort on the Research and Development (R&D) of Redfox products, with offices in Shenzhen China, Hong Kong  (hardware), and Philippines (software); A.L.e-Component Int’l. Inc., a company based in Cavite, Philippines, focusing on Redfox’s Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS); Asiantech, a company also based in the Philippines that focuses on the distribution, logistic and warehousing of Redfox; and Wiz Store, Redfox’s concept store, catering to retailers and kiosks, with two (2) branches located at SM North and SM Marikina.

Stepping Up the Game

As a company currently positioned in the market as an original equipment and design manufacturer, Redfox is determined to step up its game and position itself as an Original Brand Manufacturer (OBM), catering to the upper and middle class customers, as well as millennials, here and abroad.

The new brand identity, “Luxury within Reach,” will help promote products that strike quality and elegance at a reachable cost. Constantly committed to offer the best customer service and satisfaction, Redfox aims to provide the finest and luxurious commercial products that exude confidence and sophistication. In line with this, Redfox is building a global RMA and nationwide service center that will provide customer support 24/7.

Embracing Change

To support the new brand identity of Redfox, consumers will soon get to see the first UXperience Center in Southeast Asia that will offer interactive E-Sports and learning centers supported by E-Blue. This approach is expected to catapult the brand into the global stage.

Consumers will also get a treat, as Redfox plans to do mall road tours to promote its first ever luxurious smartphone called “Aurea.” The Redfox Aurea is set to position itself as the brand’s latest flagship smartphone.

Redfox is embracing change, continuously developing gaming ideas and cutting-edge technology for its smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop, and gaming PC segments. Redfox is also securing more successful partnerships, not only here in the Philippines but also in the global scale, to attain more powerful principles in facilitating business opportunities.

we were given Php 2000 worth of GC so I got this for free!

I chose to use my Php 2000 worth of gift certificate to purchase a sports bra from Zensah. This one's more expensive than the other brands of sports bras because Zensah really specializes in compression technology for apparels. I gotta try this on my next workout session so I would be able to share a more detailed review about it. But if you're into sports or just exercising/working out, you gotta try this out. Besides sports bra, they also have tights, leg sleeves, arm bands, socks, and more.

Philips Launches New Range of Portable Audio Products and Home Cinema Systems

Last July 10, I attended Philips' launch of their new range of portable audio products and home cinema systems at Makati Shangri-la Hotel. These products are really impressive as they deliver a new dimension to our viewing and listening experience.

With over a century of rich heritage and expertise in high-end TV and audio technology, the focus on innovation takes on a new dimension with the launch of the Philips 2014 home entertainment and sound collection.

Home Cinematic Experience at its best

Brilliant picture quality

For the ultimate in home cinematic experience, the latest generation of Philips TVs – the DesignLine and Ultra HD range, bring home theatre to a whole new level, giving you a TV experience that is “beyond the ordinary”.

Built with a multi-core Ultra Pixel HD engine that delivers EISA Award-winning picture quality on both native UHD and Full HD content, the new range of Philips TVs deliver astonishing depth and clarity and are the ideal choice for any room in your house.

The unique Ambilight feature virtually expands the TV screen, creating an exceptional and impressively immersive viewing experience by throwing a soft glow of light matching the on-screen colours onto the wall behind the TV. In addition, new apps which are supported in our Ambilight range allow consumers to interact with Ambilight during sport events, continuing the great success story of this light technology and adding a whole new dimension to their TV viewing experience.

From Ambilight to 4K Ultra HD, the latest generation of Philips TVs offer something for everyone. Whether it’s streaming new content, experiencing new worlds, gaming with friends near and far and even bringing generations together to share stories, laughter and memories – Philips TVs are designed to let you enjoy all the good things in life from the comfort of your couch.

Bringing to life high quality sound

Amplify your home cinematic experience through high quality sound brought to life by the new range of Philips audio products that deliver an authentic sound experience.

The latest in audio innovations, the Philips Fidelio Soundbar HTL9100, E5 speakers, Soundbar HTL6140, Soundstage HTB4150B and 5.1 3D Blu-ray Home theater HTB5580 all have one thing in common. They deliver the best sound without the clutter, preserving the purity of the original audio content, resulting in greater sonic accuracy. For true connectivity, Bluetooth wireless music streaming from your music devices for breathtaking music quality in the comfort of your home!

The world’s first Soundbar with detachable speakers- the Philips Fidelio Soundbar HTL9100 and the Philips E5 speakers, are the ideal home cinema audio solution for consumers who want 5.1 channel surround sound without the wires. With space a premium in the home, these two products offer true freedom with detachable speakers and subwoofer that are wireless. Featuring Surround on Demand, the Philips Fidelio Soundbar HTL9100 and Philips E5 speakers automatically transform to a 5.1 channel surround sound experience when the surround speakers are detached.

Philips E5 speakers

At just 2.98 cm thick, the ultra slim Philips Soundbar HTL6140 is the perfect sound companion for any flat TV and can be mounted anywhere, blending right into your living space! A wireless subwoofer also ensures you are spared from messy wires for a clutter-free environment. Boasting 320W of power and premium soft dome tweeters, you can enjoy crystal clear high tones, ensuring premium quality sound. The HTL6140 is not just extremely thin, it sounds extremely good!

The Blu Ray offerings with the Philips 5.1 3D Blu-ray Home theater HTB5580 and Philips TV SoundStage HTB4150B will be the highlight of your living room for all kinds of entertainment. Designed to enhance your cinematic viewing experience at home, both products feature full HD 3D Blu-ray and Crystal Clear Sound, which enable you to discern and appreciate every sound detail, the way it was meant to be heard.

The Philips E5 speakers, Soundbar HTL6140, Soundstage HTB4150B and 5.1 3D Blu-ray Home theater HTB5580 all feature NFC (Near Field Communications) technology which means easy pairing  with Bluetooth devices.

For Music on the Go

If you enjoy superior, detailed sound but prefer the convenience of an on-the-go experience, then get ready for the party of a lifetime with the latest range of Philips audio products.

Five-time World’s Best DJ winner, producer and record label owner, Armin van Buuren’s long list of musical accolades has another addition: product designer. The Grammy-nominated artist has collaborated with Philips to create his first ever professional headphones, the A5-PRO and the M1X-DJ System which allows you to mix, play and share the music you love.

Armin Van Buuren

The A5-PRO is engineered to meet the highest standards and demands of international DJs and industry pros offering true-to-life sound reproduction that is distortion-free even at high volumes.

Combining the finest materials like durable anodized aluminium, alloy steel finishes and hand-stitched leather for maximum comfort and construction, the A5-PRO is a key feature of the sold-out Armin Only Intense World Tour.

Whether you’re a beginner or professional, the Philips M1X-DJ makes mixing, playing and sharing tracks simple, providing an authentic DJ experience. Combining a sleek design aesthetic and easy-to-use interface with innovative technology, the portable M1X-DJ allows anyone to create incredible sets that will blow your friends away and stream songs through Lightning connector/Bluetooth.

If a heart-thumping beat is what gets you moving at a party, then get ready to be blown away by the Philips range of hi-fi systems - NTRX500 and NTRX700.

The smart and easy-to-use DJ mixing functions turn anyone into the star DJ of the party while the handles and wheels allow for easy transportation to the party venue of choice.  260K LED lights and versatile light effects complete the party atmosphere as you feel the beat coursing through your bones!

My thoughts

Philips really showcased how advanced they are when it comes to TV and audio technology. The products they launched are very promising and definitely, those aren't really cheap. But for the quality that you desire, you would know that these products are definitely worth what you pay for.

I may be often out of the house but the Ambilight and Ultra HD may give me enough reason to stay home more often. Combined with the Blue-ray Home Theater, every single night would be a movie night for me, my family, and friends. I wouldn't mind staying in for a steady movie night than going out to party.

At the event, what I actually enjoyed most was trying out the M1X-DJ System. When I was in Japan, I have tried self-studying mixing music using my Macbook Air and my iPad mini during my free time. It wasn't as easy but it was fun; and I guess with the M1X-DJ, I would enjoy it more. One thing I like about it is that it's very handy. It would just look like I'm carrying a cooler on my way to a house party, but when I flip the top part, I get an instant turntable. I would just plug my iPad in, turn up the volume, and perfect! I'm an instant DJ in the house! I also like the fact that it was designed by Armin Van Buuren, one of my favorite DJs. I got to watch him last March in Kuala Lumpur during the Future Music Festival Asia: A State of Trance 650. He's amazing! I could just imagine how this product would sell simply because it's something he actually designed. I also got to try A5-PRO, their top of the line headphone set, and I wouldn't be surprised why it's even more expensive than the turntable. 

Imagine a DJ in corporate attire...tadaaa!:))

Hardware Zone Magazine Philippines Holiday Gift Guide 2013/2014

This is a super late post. Sorry, it almost slipped my mind. But hey, better late than never.

Last October, I got invited by Hardware Zone Magazine (HWM) Philippines to be a part of the style team of their Holiday Gift Guide 2013/2014. It's like a catalogue of products (not only gadgets but even apparel) that serves as a source of gift ideas. It was actually out in the market from December 2013 to February 2014.

Our models were Angelia Ong, Ladylyn Riva, and Farah Ramos. And I co-styled the wardrobe and the hair of the models together with Shiela Del Rosario. The shoot coordinator was Darlene Sasan of HWM, and hey, they're all my friends. It seemed like a "barkada" project for us.

The themes were: couch potato, adventurous/explorer, and party animal.

Here are the final output:

Here's our team:

And we're about to work on the HWM Summer Gift Guide 2014. Stay tuned!:)
