Infinix has officially announced the upcoming NOTE 60 Series, marking a major first for the brand as Shin Yuna of ITZY has been named its global brand ambassador. The move also introduces the NOTE 60 Pro and points to a shift in how Infinix is positioning itself moving forward.Infinix has been growing steadily in the budget and midrange space, but this move feels more intentional. The brand’s “Joy Tech, Beyond Limits” direction becomes clearer with Shin Yuna joining in, adding personality and making it easier to connect with users beyond just specs. Infinix smartphones have always focused on big features, but this time, there’s more attention on how those features actually translate into everyday use."I am so excited to reach out to my fans in a new way as Infinix's Global Brand Ambassador. I've always believed that life should be filled with joy and the courage to show the world who you truly are. It's been amazing to see how Infinix shares that same energy. I'm looking forward to this journey and can't wait to show everyone the special stories we create together!Brand partnerships like this can sometimes feel surface-level, but this one lines up with what Infinix is trying to do. Brand partnerships can sometimes come across as surface-level, but this one aligns with where Infinix is headed. Shin Yuna represents a younger, global audience that’s always creating and sharing, exactly how smartphones are used today.The NOTE 60 Series is one of Infinix’s more ambitious releases yet. It brings a Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm, with design input from Pininfarina and audio tuned by JBL. On paper, it’s a clear step forward. The real test is how it performs day to day, especially how smooth it runs, how reliable the camera is, and how long the battery lasts.From experience, Infinix phones usually focus on features you notice right away—big batteries, bright screens, and bold designs. If the NOTE 60 Series improves how everything works together, it could be more reliable for daily use.

Philips Evnia 27M2N6501L QD-OLED Gaming Monitor Built for Yakuza Fans
Philips is putting more focus on gaming with its Evnia lineup, and this collaboration with SEGA feels more intentional than most. Instead of just listing specs, the goal here is clear—pair a capable OLED monitor with a game that actually shows what it can do.The highlight is the Evnia 27M2N6501L, a QD-OLED gaming monitor built for contrast-heavy scenes and fast gameplay. Alongside it, there’s also the Evnia 49M2C8900 for those who prefer a wider, more immersive setup.Designed Around Real GameplayThe partnership with SEGA centers on titles like Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties, which rely heavily on lighting and atmosphere.If you’ve played Yakuza, you’ll know how much of the experience comes from neon-lit streets and darker environments. On a standard display, those scenes can lose depth. Here, blacks look deeper, highlights pop more, and small details are easier to notice, especially at night scenes where contrast really matters.What the QD-OLED Panel BringsThe 27M2N6501L uses a QD-OLED panel, combining OLED’s self-lit pixels with Quantum Dot color. In actual use, the difference shows up in how scenes are rendered rather than just numbers on paper.Dark areas don’t look flat, and colors don’t feel overdone. Even when you’re not sitting directly in front of the screen, the image stays consistent. It’s the kind of upgrade you notice more during story-driven games, where lighting and detail carry the experience.Smoothness That Matches the VisualsThe monitor runs at a 240Hz refresh rate with G-Sync support, and that shows immediately when you start moving around in-game. Camera motion feels smoother, and fast scenes are easier to track.If you’re coming from a 60Hz or even 120Hz display, the jump is noticeable. Aiming feels more responsive, and there’s less blur when things get hectic. It’s not just for competitive games either—even open-world movement feels cleaner.Philips also added in-game tools like Smart Crosshair and Shadow Boost. They’re simple, but useful. In darker areas, especially in games like Yakuza, they help make enemies and details easier to spot without needing to tweak settings manually.Extra Features That Actually HelpInstead of overloading the monitor with features you’ll never use, Philips kept things practical. The SmartImage game mode includes tweaks like ShadowBoost and Smart Sniper, which can give a slight edge depending on what you’re playing. Connectivity is straightforward with DisplayPort 1.4, so it works well with modern GPUs and consoles without any setup issues.Comfort for Longer SessionsFor longer sessions, the small things start to matter more. The Evnia monitors include Flicker-Free tech and Low Blue Light mode, which help reduce eye strain over time.The stand is fully adjustable, so it’s easy to get a comfortable viewing angle. There’s also MultiView support if you’re running multiple devices at once, which can be useful for streaming setups or multitasking.Promo Details in the PhilippinesPhilips is also running a local promo tied to this launch. From March 23, 2026 to June 30, 2026, buyers of selected Evnia monitors can receive a free Kiwami Code Game or a Philips tablecloth, depending on the model.Higher-end OLED models like the 27M2N6501L and 49M2C8900 come bundled with the game, while more affordable models fall under the table cloth giveaway.Pricing starts at ₱8,780 and goes up to ₱65,500 depending on the model you choose. Registration is required through the promo website, along with proof of purchase and product details for verification.-Subscribe to our social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and YouTube. to receive the latest news and updates.
