Launching on June 18, the new Series combines long-lasting battery life, Military-grade Shock Protection, and dependable performance for daily use. realme Philippines is gearing up for the launch of the realme C100 Series on June 18, and ahead of the big reveal, the brand is giving a first look at what the lineup is all about.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy cardigan, a fresh look for a summer getaway, or the perfect piece for a job interview, envisioning how you’d look in it when shopping online can be challenging. But today, Google has now made the clothes shopping process easier. Today, Google is expanding access to its apparel try-on tool, which will start rolling out in the Philippines in the coming weeks. The feature makes the online shopping experience more personal, allowing you to virtually try apparel on yourself just by uploading a photo. Try On is powered by a custom image generation model for fashion, which understands the human body and nuances of clothing — like how different materials fold, stretch, and drape on different bodies. It preserves these subtleties when applied to poses in your photos – so the result lets you see how a piece of clothing would look on you, instead of seeing just a still picture or on a model. Try On lets you shop fr...
