Photography in general is easy – right? You pick up your smart phone or camera, point it in the direction of what interests you, and depress the shutter button. However, there are many levels of photography, and I’m sure many of you are aware of the basics. Talking about a bit more advanced type of photography, photographing the star filled sky, also known as astrophotography.

The HUAWEI Y Series Revolutionizes the Entry-level Segment with the Introduction of a HD Camera and Super Long-lasting Battery

These amazing Y Series smartphones can be pre-ordered from Monday, June 22, 2020 onwards

Huawei’s entry-level Y Series has a reputation for bringing in features from more premium phones, giving it a competitive edge in its segment. Be it camera, battery life, overall performance or even design ethos, each device in the HUAWEI Y Series is designed to make premium features accessible to more users. This is evident in its success in being a popular choice among customers since its inception in 2015.

Pioneering the entry-level segment, each device in the HUAWEI Y Series brings a fresh wave of innovation to its users, bringing to them new features and stylish designs with every smartphone. Huawei added two new smartphones to this series, both of them packing powerful features, while also being unique in their own aspects, the HUAWEI Y6p and HUAWEI Y8p. Both of these phones come with a wide range of interesting innovations that not only make them better smartphones, but revolutionizes the entry-level smartphone segment with some never seen before features.

First up is the HUAWEI Y6p that takes a different approach to changing things around in the entry-level segment. Aimed at users who do more with their smartphone and demand more battery life, this new smartphone comes with a massive 5000mAh battery that not only lasts long during intensive use, but can also act as a power bank to charge other devices. As with all Huawei products, this new addition also comes with a powerful camera setup in the form of its 13MP Triple Camera setup with a 13MP main camera which excels in low light, a 5MP Ultra-Wide and a 2MP depth sensor for natural bokeh effects. This is complemented by an 8MP Selfie camera upfront as well. Along with its large battery, the HUAWEI Y8p is also a powerhouse, with 3GB of RAM for smooth running of apps, 64GB of storage and an MTK Helio P22 processor for efficient performance.

Another one of its standout features is in regard to its audio. Thanks to HUAWEI SuperSound, audio is louder, clearer and sharper than ever before, while additional features like FM radio that doesn’t need earphones to act as antenna, 9.1 channel sky surround sound for immersive audio and party mode, further provide everything an audiophiles needs. In terms of display, the HUAWEI Y6p features the 6.3-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 1600x720. The back of the phone comes in beautiful colors of Emerald Green, Phantom Purple and Midnight Black while also housing the rear fingerprint sensor.

Next to that is the HUAWEI Y8p, which brings to the segment a 48MP AI Triple Camera, powerful performance and a stunning display. Its camera setup is quite impressive for an entry-level smartphone, in fact it is something that one would usually find on a more premium device. The setup consists of 48MP main camera, 8MP Ultra-Wide angle camera and a 2MP depth camera for bokeh effects. However, what truly shines in this setup is the HUAWEI Y8p’s capability for low light photography with the Handheld Night Mode that uses on board AI and camera sensors for well-lit shots in low light situations. This camera setup also brings to the entry-level segment a master AI that can recognize up to 22 scenes while shooting and intelligently adjusts any settings required for a perfect shot. Selfies are also vastly improved thanks to the 16MP AI Selfie Camera.

The HUAWEI Y8p also brings in outstanding performance with 6GB of RAM for smoother running of apps and software, with a massive 128GB of storage. It is powered by a 4000 mAh battery for all day performance, and runs on the Kirin 710F chipset with EMUI 10.1 for smooth and efficient performance. The HUAWEI Y8p also boasts its 6.3-inch HUAWEI Dewdrop OLED display, a first for the series. The display comes with an FHD+ resolution of 2400 x 1080 and even features an In-Display Fingerprint sensor, something not seen before in the series. The HUAWEI Y8p also continues with elegant design ethos with a 3D Curved Back design with nature inspired colorways of Breathing Crystal and Midnight Black.

Both the phones come with HUAWEI AppGallery pre-installed, which gives users access to a wide range of global and local apps which can be safely downloaded. The world’s third largest app marketplace, the HUAWEI AppGallery takes full advantage of Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) and features a variety of cross-platform apps for an all-scenario user experience.
With these new smartphones, as well as other phones in Huawei’s Y series, the brand has managed to revolutionize the entry-level segment to introduce devices that are not only affordable but also packed with premium features.

Alongwith the flash sale offer realme fans can now get another free product on booking of realme band or Air buds Neo on saamaan.pk they just need to share the screenshot of booking order and tag @realmepakistan on Instagram to get a chance of winning an extra product.

realme band

The realme Band is certainly one of the most affordable fitness bands in the market today, but that doesn’t mean that performance is compromised. With a retail price of just Rs 3,999/- , headlining features include a large 0.96” colour display which has a display range of over 65,000 colors. Designed to be used for advanced health and fitness monitoring, the realme Band has 5-level brightness adjustment via the realme Link app for better visibility outdoors (or indoors), along with a “gravity sensor” to automatically wake up the display.  

The importance of health monitoring is more apparent now than ever, and real-time heart rate monitoring is a key feature of realme’s latest wearable. Whether you’re exercising or simply working from home, the high precision PPG optical heart rate sensor measures your heart rate in real-time every 5 minutes—to a high degree of accuracy, according to realme. Of course, sleep is also a key aspect of life, and the realme band even has an intelligent algorithm to analyse your sleep quality; knowledge is power, after all. 

In any balanced lifestyle, regular exercise is vital. And with 9 sport modes included, you’re pretty much covered with the advanced performance tracking metrics available—even one for games of cricket. Meanwhile, with IP68 water resistance, the fitness band is protected against dirt, dust, sand, and “occasional dips in the water”. 

As a cherry on top, realme has also designed their new wearable with convenience and ease-of-use in mind. For example, charging the realme Band is one of the easiest methods around: plug it directly into a USB port, no cables required. Even on the software side of things, the realme Band supports almost all app notifications, so you’ll never miss a message from work again. 

All of that is supported via the realme Link app, which is available on the Google Play Store and the App Store. 

realme Buds Air Neo

To complement this lifestyle, realme has also announced a value-for-money pair of TWS earbuds: the realme Buds Air Neo at retails price of Rs 7,999/- . This is essentially a “Lite” version of the previously-launched realme Buds Air, albeit one with a larger 13mm DBB sound driver along with dynamic bass boost for the perfect listening experience. Powered by the R1 chip, the Buds Air Neo offers up to 3 hours of music playback on a full charge, and 17 hours in total with the included charging case. 

But the idea of a balanced lifestyle also involves sitting back, relaxing, and giving your mind a rest from the hectic world around us. For many of us, that involves gaming—specifically, mobile gaming. As such, the Super Low Latency mode is essential. As any seasoned gamer will tell you, latency is a key aspect of gaming. For example, high latency results in a delayed response from the gamer, which is very often a make-or-break in-game situation. This is all part of the Gaming Mode, which offers a reduced audio latency of just 119.2ms—perfect for first-person shooter games like COD or PUBG.

Plus, with the help of Google Fast Pair Technology (GFP) and Bluetooth 5.0 technology, the realme Buds Air Neo supports Instant Auto Connection with smartphones. All you need to do is open the realme Buds Air Neo charging case, and compatible phones will automatically detect the earbuds for easy and instant pairing (10m effective range).

And when you’re exercising, the Buds Air Neo are also the ideal companion—in rain or shine. With an IPX4 splash-proof resistance, you should be safe to run in the rain, so you won’t have to pause your music playback no matter what. 

HUAWEI Nova 7i – Outclass Photography that Wins Awards

Huawei handset users can join the HUAWEI NEXT-IMAGE AWARDS 2020 and get a chance to show their work to the entire world

As a singular medium of convenience for the modern human, the smartphone has, since its inception, continued to offer features that entice the user. It is clearly no more a mere tool of communication. Among its unique features, the in-built camera is arguably one of the distinguishing aspects of the smartphone.

As we say this, let us inform our photography enthusiast readers about a beautiful new gadget that was recently launched and became a hot selling hit in its price segment; a device with the power to bring about a mini-revolution in the realm of photography. This new device is the HUAWEI Nova 7i: a phone that puts DSLR-level imagery into the hands of everyone. HUAWEI Nova 7i is a device capable of doing everything a DSLR camera can do and more. With a 48MP Quad AI Camera, it delivers crisp images that capture the depth and emotions of every picture.

But wait! There is another super exciting news from Huawei in the pipeline. It’s the HUAWIE NEXT-IMAGE AWARDS 2020 – a global awards contest celebrating the very best of photography done with Huawei smartphones.

Entries can be submitted in the Gallery section of HUAWEI Community under the contestant category by Friday, 31 July, 2020. The final evaluation of the contest will be done by the awards committee and announced on the official site of the awards.

Huawei didn’t stop at the mere launch of this sleek new device, Nova 7i. It wanted its users to truly benefit from the Huawei Nova 7i experience by encouraging amateur photographers to try their hands on it in real-life settings. In doing so, Huawei presented an opportunity for what it calls the ‘imagineers’ to showcase their creative skills, engage with a community of tech-savvy youth and gain recognition in the field of photography. The #ShotonHuawei campaign for HUAWEI Nova 7i gave photographers using Huawei smartphones from across the country a shot at exhibiting their photography talent. They included Marvi Soomro, Mavikh Azam, Amjad Nawaz, Areesh Zubair, Asad Amir and Humza Sheikh who took the opportunity to capture visuals of people, places, cultures and cuisines with their Nova 7i device.

Asad Amir

At a time when the entire country was on lockdown, Asad was in the perfect setting. Hailing from the beautiful valley of Hunza, Asad put the camera to test capturing scenic images of Hunza’s picturesque landscape. The 8MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens of the HUAWEI Nova 7i took a stunning photo of the Hunza Valley which gave everyone a welcome respite – straight from Gilgit Baltistan.

Amjad Nawaz

While this year’s Eid was quite somber, Amjad managed to capture the true essence of the day – the Eid prayers. Putting the HDR mode to good use, Amjad merged his master aesthetic and created an image that made everyone feel the spirit of this special occasion.

Areesh Zubair

One of the most interesting lockdown projects was undertaken by Areesh Zubair called Duur Se Portrait that won him rave reviews from local and global media. He travelled to various locations and shot portraits of people in the confines of their houses – while maintaining the lockdown SoPs. One such image was captured with the HUAWEI Nova 7i as well, showing the ecstatic colours of not just the nature, but also the device.

Marvi Soomro

All our HEAs wore creative hats to combat the lockdown and find great opportunities to photograph. Here, Marvi Soomro did a dreamy photoshoot at her house, showcasing the Night Mode feature of HUAWEI Nova 7i. Even in the dim and dull lights, the HUAWEI Nova 7i captured true colours and proper lighting.

Mavikh Azam

Our whizz-kid Mavikh gave his fans a glimpse of the wilderness as he ventured out in Islamabad on a sunny morning. He used the HUAWEI Nova 7i to capture the sunkissed vastness with the Margalla Hills in the background.

Humza Sheikh

Joining the #ShotonHuawei campaign for the first time, Humza Shaikh channeled his inner bibliophile and showed what he was reading with the HUAWEI Nova 7i. The 48MP Quad AI Camera encapsulated the raw sharpness of this image, giving all book lovers a beckoning to delve into their bookshelves.
