Aurora Gaming PH celebrates its M7 World Championship triumph alongside Infinix under the banner #WINfinixTogether. Historic M7 Triumph: Aurora Gaming PH conquered the world stage through grit, discipline, and championship-level composure, once again proving that Filipino esports talent belongs at the very top. Trust-Fueled Partnership: Infinix stood firmly behind the team from early days to global glory, building a collaboration rooted in shared belief and long-term vision. Limited Edition Drop: The GT 30 Pro Electrochromic Edition arrives as a one-day-only collectible release that merges futuristic design, gaming power, and championship pride. From intense qualifiers to nerve-wracking playoff clashes, Aurora Gaming PH’s path to the M7 World Championship was a masterclass in composure and resilience. Every series played was a test of nerves. Every comeback was proof of preparation. And when the final moment came, it was not just a victory for a team. It was a defining chapter for Philippine esports. To commemorate this monumental achievement, Infinix hosted a special congratulatory dinner for Aurora Gaming PH on February 6, 2026 at Siklab+, S Maison. Held under the banner #WINfinixTogether, the gathering brought together industry leaders, partners, and the champions themselves for an evening that felt equal parts celebration and statement. Infinix Honors Aurora’s Rise to the Top For Infinix, the victory was personal. The brand had believed in Aurora long before the confetti fell at M7. Mr. Harry Leonardo, Infinix Regional Marketing Lead for Gaming and Esports, reflected on the journey: “From the MPL to the M7 World Championship, Aurora Gaming PH proved that winning is not just about mechanics or skill, but about heart, discipline, and respect for the game. As Infinix, we are incredibly proud to stand beside them as their Official Gaming Phone Partner. We trusted Aurora early on, starting with M6, when we chose them as our only official esports team partner in the Philippines. That trust was built not just on results, but on shared values and belief in what this team could become. True champions don’t just win, they inspire, and Aurora has carried the entire Philippine esports community with them. The partnership between Infinix and Aurora Gaming is about believing that Filipinos can compete, rise, and win on the world stage. Congratulations, Aurora Gaming PH, you didn’t just win a championship. You made history. Let’s continue winning together.” The message resonated deeply with everyone in the room. Aurora’s ascent was not overnight. It was built on discipline, relentless practice, and the quiet confidence that they could go toe to toe with the best in the world. A Partnership Built on Trust Behind every championship run is a network of people who choose to stay and believe. Aurora Gaming PH Country Manager Mr. Elrasec Ocampo, also known as “Boss Rada,” spoke candidly about the partnership that helped fuel the team’s climb. “Tanggap ko na noon na after our first contract with Infinix, baka bumitaw na sila. Pero sila pa ang patuloy na nagtiwala sa amin. I never really expected the entire Infinix Family to go all out in supporting Aurora Gaming PH. Hopefully, we’re able to repay that trust as World Champions—at hindi lang kami dito hihinto,” he said. Translated, he added: “I had already accepted that after our first contract with Infinix, they might step away. But instead, they were the ones who continued to believe in us. I never really expected the entire Infinix Family to fully support Aurora Gaming PH. Hopefully, we’re able to repay that trust as World Champions—and we won’t stop here.” It was an honest admission that made the championship feel even more meaningful. In esports, where partnerships can be fleeting, long-term belief becomes a competitive advantage. Honoring the Champions with Infinix Technology The evening also featured a symbolic surprise. Infinix presented Aurora Gaming PH with a special Champions Chest packed with high-performance devices including the Infinix GT 30 Pro, the XPAD GT, and several Infinix AIoT products. More than celebratory gifts, these devices represented the tools that empower competitive players to train harder, perform better, and stay connected beyond tournament arenas. Technology has become an essential part of modern esports, and Infinix has positioned itself not just as a sponsor, but as an enabler of performance. A Historic Moment for Philippine Esports Representing the MLBB professional league, Ms. Lee Viloria from MOONTON Games highlighted the magnitude of Aurora’s achievement. “Aurora’s win is not just a victory—they actually created history. This trophy you see right here isn’t just a symbol of triumph; it’s a statement. A statement of how we set the pace when it comes to excellence and winning on the world stage,” she shared. “This is what it means when talent, discipline, and belief all line up at the perfect time.” She also emphasized Infinix’s meaningful involvement in the ecosystem: “The partnership has always been about more than just visibility. You don’t simply see them as a logo onstage. They really take the time to study how they can genuinely support the community.” A Championship-Inspired Limited Edition Device Riding the momentum of Aurora’s M7 victory, Infinix is pushing gaming innovation further with the launch of the GT 30 Pro Electrochromic Edition. This globally limited, concept-driven device was created especially for fans of Aurora Gaming PH, now officially the reigning M7 World Champions.

The device shifts visually, mirroring the dynamic intensity of competitive gameplay. It is both performance machine and collector’s piece. For fans, it is more than hardware.

HONOR Smartphones X vs N vs Magic Series, Explained! Where Could HONOR Power Fit in the Line-up?
“Which HONOR phone should I get — and what do all these series names really mean?” If you’ve been exploring HONOR smartphones in the Philippines, you’ve probably asked yourself that exact question. Over the past few years, HONOR has built a diverse and competitive lineup covering everything from ultra-affordable everyday devices to cutting-edge flagship foldables.Regardless of your budget or your needs as a consumer, there's an HONOR smartphone for you.

Also, the most durable HONOR phone line across the board.HONOR X9 Series is the best-selling phone line of HONOR in the Philippines. As the number increases, you generally get better performance, display quality, and camera systems. X Series Price Overview Model Approx. Price (PHP) Approx. Price (USD) HONOR X5 ₱4,000 – ₱5,000 $70 – $90 HONOR X6 ₱4,500 – ₱6,000 $80 – $105 HONOR X7 ₱8,000 – ₱10,000 $140 – $180 HONOR X8 ₱12,000 – ₱14,000 $215 – $250 HONOR X9 (5G) ₱15,000 – ₱18,000 $270 – $320 The X Series represents HONOR’s strongest value tier in the Philippine market. HONOR N Series Camera-focused midrange with premium appeal Positioned above the X Series, the HONOR N Series delivers stronger photography performance and more refined hardware while staying below flagship pricing.HONOR 90 5G and HONOR 400 5G are part of the company's N Series.

If HONOR introduces a Power Series in the Philippine market, it could strategically bridge the gap between the X-Series and the N-Series, targeting budget-conscious heavy gamers and power users. HONOR Philippines has yet to disclose its plans about the release and availability of HONOR Power 2 in our country. Will they bring this model here? Only time will tell. Based on global trends, a Power Series could: • Emphasize battery endurance and efficiency • Offer near-flagship processors despite having a midrange price point • Target gamers and heavy users who don't really require the best imaging features • Deliver sustained performance for running resource-intensive apps and games at an accessible price Potential Power Series Positioning Series Estimated Price (PHP) Estimated Price (USD) HONOR Power Series (Projected) ₱22,000 – ₱23,000 $385 – $390 This would position it between the N Series and the Magic Series — creating a performance-focused alternative without full flagship pricing. A Well-Balanced Line-up HONOR’s smartphone lineup in the Philippines is now clearly structured: • X Series – Practical and budget-friendly (₱4K–₱18K / $70–$320) • N Series – Camera-driven upper midrange (₱23K–₱32K / $390–$570) • Magic Series – True flagship innovation (₱55K–₱65K / $980–$1,160) • Magic V Series – Foldable ultra-premium devices (₱85K–₱95K / $1,520–$1,700) At the official launch of HONOR X9d 5G in the Philippines held at Grand Hyatt Manila on January 9, 2026. Each lineup serves a specific user type, making it easier to align your budget with your priorities — whether that’s battery life, camera performance, or cutting-edge design. If a Power Series officially joins the portfolio, it could become one of the most interesting additions yet, especially for mobile gamers — strengthening HONOR’s ecosystem and giving consumers even more compelling choices in one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic smartphone markets.

POCO M8 Pro 5G Review : Punching Above Its Price Point in Performance
POCO M8 Pro 5G combines style, gaming performance, durability, and 100W fast charging at an accessible price A performance-first phone made for gamers and power users The POCO M8 Pro 5G is built around stable graphics performance, thermal efficiency, and long gaming sessions, while still delivering capable cameras and a rugged, everyday-ready design. Premium durability and display at a midrange price With IP68 and IP69K protection, SGS-certified structural strength, and a large 120Hz AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision, it offers features rarely seen together at this price level. Strong value proposition in the Philippines Officially launched online on January 8, 2026, the POCO M8 Pro 5G starts at PHP 16,999, positioning it as one of the most compelling gaming-focused smartphones in the midrange segment. POCO has built its reputation on offering smartphones that punch above their price point, and the POCO M8 Pro 5G stays true to that identity. This phone is clearly made for users who live on their devices, whether that means gaming for hours, streaming content on the go, or relying on their phone as a daily workhorse.What sets the M8 Pro 5G apart is how it balances performance, durability, and style. It is not just a gaming phone with flashy specs, nor is it simply a rugged device meant to survive accidents. Instead, it combines both worlds, adding capable cameras and a polished display that makes it feel more premium than its price suggests. From the moment you pick it up, the M8 Pro 5G feels like a device made for people who actually use their phones hard. Long gaming sessions, heavy multitasking, constant mobile data use, and the occasional accidental drop are all part of its design brief. Yet, it still manages to feel polished enough for daily work, content creation, and entertainment. Price and Availability in the Philippines The POCO M8 Pro 5G officially arrived in the Philippine market through an online launch on January 8, 2026. Official SRPs: 8GB RAM + 256GB storage: PHP 16,999 12GB RAM + 512GB storage: PHP 19,999 At these prices, POCO delivers hardware that rivals or even outclasses devices that cost several thousand pesos more. The inclusion of a large AMOLED display, a high-capacity battery, fast charging, and a Snapdragon 7-series chipset makes the M8 Pro 5G especially appealing to budget-conscious gamers who still want premium features. Offering this phone model at these prices, POCO is clearly targeting Filipino students, young professionals, heavy users, and mobile gamers who want long-term value when purchasing a new phone while not overspending. Quick Unboxing and Package Contents Inside the box, POCO includes everything needed to get started right away: POCO M8 Pro 5G handset 100W fast charging adapter USB Type-C cable SIM ejector tool Matte Grey protective case User manuals and warranty card The inclusion of a full-powered 100W charger is especially important for a phone with a large battery. Users do not need to invest in third-party accessories to experience fast charging, which immediately adds to the overall value of the package. Design The POCO M8 Pro 5G prioritizes durability without sacrificing visual appeal. It measures 163.3 x 78.3 x 8.3 mm and weighs 206 grams, giving it a solid, confidence-inspiring feel. The front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, a material usually reserved for higher-end devices. The back uses fiber-reinforced plastic that resists bending and cracking better than traditional plastic panels. Combined with its IP68 and IP69K water and dust resistance, the phone is well-suited for unpredictable daily environments. For gamers and heavy users, this kind of build quality means fewer worries about heat, accidental drops, or exposure to dust and moisture during long sessions or outdoor use. Display The display is one of the POCO M8 Pro 5G’s standout features, especially for gaming and media consumption. It sports a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1280 x 2772 pixels and a pixel density of around 447 ppi. Support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision results in deeper blacks, vibrant colors, and improved contrast, which enhances both games and video content. The 120Hz refresh rate makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games and everyday navigation, delivering smoother animations and quicker response to touch inputs. Brightness levels reach up to 1800 nits in high brightness mode and peak at 3200 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even under direct sunlight. For mobile gamers who play outdoors or during commutes, this means fewer compromises in visibility and immersion. The 3840Hz PWM dimming also helps reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions or late-night use, making extended screen time more comfortable. Imaging Performance Rear Cameras: The POCO M8 Pro 5G features a dual rear camera system led by a 50-megapixel main sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, optical image stabilization, and dual pixel PDAF. Daylight shots are sharp, with accurate colors and good dynamic range. OIS plays a crucial role in maintaining clarity, especially in low-light scenes or indoor environments. This allows users to capture cleaner photos without needing multiple attempts. The 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera offers a 120-degree field of view, making it useful for landscapes, architecture, and group photos. While it does not match the main camera in detail, it provides consistent results that are more than adequate for casual photography and social media sharing. Front Camera: The 32-megapixel front camera delivers detailed selfies with natural skin tones. HDR support helps balance challenging lighting conditions, making it reliable for outdoor selfies, video calls, and content creation. Video Recording Video recording is handled competently across all cameras. The main rear camera supports up to 4K at 30fps, while 1080p recording is available at 30fps and 60fps. The ultra-wide camera records up to 1080p, and the front camera also supports 1080p at higher frame rates. Optical image stabilization helps keep handheld footage steady, which is particularly useful for casual vlogging or recording gaming-related content. AI Features Running Android 15 with HyperOS 2, the POCO M8 Pro 5G benefits from intelligent system optimizations. AI-assisted camera processing improves scene detection and color balance, while background performance management helps keep the phone responsive during heavy use. These features operate quietly in the background, reducing the need for manual tweaking and allowing users to focus on gaming, media, or productivity. Internal Hardware At the core of the POCO M8 Pro 5G is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, built on an efficient 4nm process. This SoC features an octa-core CPU configuration with Cortex-A720 performance cores and Cortex-A520 efficiency cores, offering a solid balance between raw power and energy efficiency. The Adreno 810 GPU is a key component for gaming. It delivers strong graphical performance, stable frame rates, and improved thermal behavior compared to older midrange GPUs. This translates to smoother gameplay and fewer performance dips during extended sessions. The phone is available with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, allowing users to keep multiple apps and games running without frequent reloads. Storage options of 256GB and 512GB use UFS 2.2 technology, ensuring faster app launches and quicker game loading times. While there is no microSD card expansion, the generous internal storage options reduce the need for external storage solutions. Software HyperOS 2 brings a clean and responsive interface that complements the phone’s hardware. Animations feel fluid, especially on the 120Hz display, and multitasking is smooth even with several apps running in the background. POCO’s promise of up to four major Android updates adds long-term value, ensuring that the phone remains secure and compatible with future apps and games. Gaming Performance Gaming is where the POCO M8 Pro 5G truly defines itself. The combination of the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and Adreno 810 GPU allows the phone to handle modern mobile games with ease. Titles like Mobile Legends Bang Bang run smoothly at high graphics settings, maintaining stable frame rates even during intense team fights. The large AMOLED display enhances visibility, while the 120Hz refresh rate ensures responsive controls and smooth animations. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support add another layer of immersion, making sound effects and in-game audio more engaging. Thermal management is effective, preventing excessive heat buildup during long gaming sessions. For gamers who play daily, this consistency matters more than peak benchmark numbers. Privacy and Security Features Security options include an under-display optical fingerprint scanner, facial recognition, and traditional pattern or passcode unlock methods. The fingerprint scanner is fast and accurate, allowing quick access even during gaming breaks or multitasking. These options provide flexibility and convenience without compromising security. Battery and Charging Speed The POCO M8 Pro 5G is equipped with a large 6500mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is a major advantage for gamers and heavy users. Extended gaming sessions, streaming, and social media use are easily handled without constant charging anxiety. Even with intensive use, the phone can comfortably last a full day, and lighter users may stretch it into a second day. When it is time to recharge, the included 100W fast charging adapter can bring the battery to 100 percent in around 40 minutes. There is also 22.5W wired reverse charging, allowing the phone to power accessories or help charge another device when needed. Verdict Pros: - Excellent gaming performance with stable graphics - Large AMOLED display with high refresh rate and brightness - Durable build with IP68 and IP69K protection - Massive battery with extremely fast charging- Handsome, eye-catching design - Strong value for money Cons: - No microSD card expansion - Slightly heavy compared to slimmer competitors Recommendation The POCO M8 Pro 5G is a strong recommendation for mobile gamers, heavy users, and anyone who wants a phone that can keep up with demanding daily use.
