TCL Holds Second TESDA Training Batch for HVAC Technicians
MANILA - Following the successful debut of its inaugural training initiative, the global leader in TV and air conditioning technology, TCL, is elevating its partnership with TESDA through the conduct of its second batch of training. This year’s curriculum on installing domestic refrigeration and air-conditioning units features an extended duration designed to deliver a more comprehensive and immersive learning experience. Building on the success of its first training initiative, TCL continues to champion technical education through a training program with TESDA designed to deliver a deeper and more immersive learning experience for future industry professionals. By evolving last year’s lecture-based foundation into a hybrid model, the 2026 program integrates intensive hands-on application with advanced technical theory. This strategic shift ensures that trainees develop the real-world competencies and industry readiness required to excel in the evolving HVAC landscape.“This second chapter of our training program marks a significant milestone in our mission to uplift Filipino talent. As we envisioned, this session provides aspiring technicians with the essential tools and practical experience they need to succeed in today’s competitive landscape. By focusing on real-world skills and industry-standard technology, TCL is dedicated to transforming learners into professionals who will strengthen our workforce and lead the future of the industry,” says Joseph Cernitchez, TCL Brand Manager.This initiative further solidifies the strategic partnership between TCL and TESDA. As a dedicated industry partner, TCL has utilized this program to establish vital employment pipelines, ensuring that technical training leads directly to career opportunities. By prioritizing high-level, hands-on experience, we are providing learners with the essential foundation required to successfully launch their professional HVAC careers.TESDA Center Administrator Mr. Eugene P. Agcaoili expressed, “We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to TCL for partnering with RTC-NCR to make this training possible. This collaboration is a strong example of what public-private partnerships can achieve. Creating meaningful opportunities for skills development and contributing to the growth and competitiveness of the Filipino workforce.”From Skills to SuccessThe second installment of the TCL Training Program successfully hosted twenty-five (25) motivated trainees at the dedicated TCL-TESDA Center, located within the flagship TESDA RTC-NCR facility. Over the course of three days, the curriculum was strategically divided into two key categories: lecture and hands-on training. Each session combined comprehensive technical lecture with intensive hands-on training, covering the essential pillars of installation, repair, and maintenance.The program was further enriched by the presence of the TCL Product and Service teams, who shared their deep expertise and practical insights directly with the participants. Students under TCL’s Air Conditioning Training Program gained hands-on experience as they worked on TCL split-type air conditioning units during their practical learning sessions. The training program extended beyond standard maintenance to focus on the specialized functions and technical specifications that define TCL products. A core component of the training included practical sessions on TCL’s smart technology, such as the TCL Home App and Voice Command features. By mastering these proprietary innovations, learners are better equipped to service modern, connected households that set TCL apart from other brands.TCL partner B2B dealer Firstar, led by Pika Lee, also attended the three-day training session to announce the learner profiling initiative scheduled on the final day. By the third day, the program transitioned into a formal evaluation and mini job fair, offering the learners a unique platform for professional assessment. This initiative aimed to pinpoint high-potential individuals and open doors for long-term employment. To further strengthen its enrollment-to-employment initiative, TCL connected students aspiring to become technicians or future TCL dealers with its internal team and authorized dealers, creating pathways to potential employment and business opportunities. The program culminated in a certificate awarding ceremony, marking the learners' official transition into the workforce. This certification validates their newly acquired mastery of TCL technology and serves as a direct pathway to career opportunities at different authorized service centers nationwide.“At TCL, we are dedicated to investing in the people who keep the industry moving. It’s been a privilege to support the upskilling of our Filipino technicians through this program. While this session has ended, our commitment has not — stay tuned for even more training opportunities as we continue to inspire greatness and build the future of technical excellence together,” Cernitchez exclaims.

Infinix NOTE 60 Pro vs Nothing Phone (4a) Specs Comparison – Same chip, different strengths
Let's do a specs showdown between the Infinix NOTE 60 Pro and the Nothing Phone (4a).Nothing Phone (4a) vs Infinix NOTE 60 ProThe Infinix NOTE 60 Pro and the Nothing Phone (4a) are two of the more interesting mid-range options available in the Philippines right now. They share the same processor and target a similar audience, but take very different approaches when it comes to design, cameras, and overall feature set. If you are trying to decide between the two, here is a closer look at how they stack up.Nothing Phone (4a) vs Infinix NOTE 60 Pro Specs Comparison DeviceNothing Phone (4a)Infinix NOTE 60 ProDisplay6.78-inch Flexible AMOLED, 120Hz adaptive, 1.5K 2720x1224, 387 ppi, 2160Hz PWM, 4500 nits peak6.78-inch Gorilla Glass 7i LTPS AMOLED, 144Hz, 240Hz touch sampling, 2304Hz PWM, 1.5K 2664x1208, 431 ppiCPU2.7GHz 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 octa-core2.7GHz 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 octa-coreGPUAdrenoAdrenoRAM8GB/12GB8GB/12GB LPDDR5ROM128GB/256GB256GB UFS 2.2Back Camera50MP f/1.88 Samsung GN9 w/ OIS + 8MP f/2.2 120° ultra-wide + 50MP f/2.9 3.5x periscope telephoto w/ OIS50MP f/1.59 w/ OIS + 8MP f/2.2 111.4° ultra-wide + LED flashSelfie Camera32MP f/2.213MP f/2.2Battery5,080mAh w/ 50W wired + 7.5W reverse wireless6,500mAh w/ 90W wired + 30W wireless MagChargeOSAndroid 16 w/ NothingOS 4.1Android 16 w/ XOS 16ConnectivityWiFi 6 2x2 MIMO, 5G, 4G LTE, BT 5.4, NFC, GPS (L1+L5), dual SIMWiFi 6 (a/b/g/n/ac/ax), 4G LTE, BT 5.4, NFC, GPS, FM Radio, dual SIMSensorsAccelerometer, light, orientation, proximity, gyroscope, sound, magneticAccelerometer, light, orientation, proximity, gyroscope, sound, magneticOthersIn-display fingerprint, IP64, stereo speakers, Glyph Bar (63 LEDs), linear haptic motor, OTG, USB-CIn-display fingerprint, face unlock, IP64, IR Blaster, JBL stereo speakers, Hi-Res Audio, X-axis motor, Active Matrix Display, Halo Light, AI button, health key, Stainless Steel VC Cooling, USB-CDimensions164 x 77.6 x 8.6mm162.37 x 77.17 x 7.36mm (Torino Black) / 7.45mm (other colors)Weight204.5 g201.7gPricePHP 21,990 (8GB/128GB), PHP 24,490 (8GB/256GB), PHP 28,990 (12GB/256GB)PHP 17,999 (8GB/256GB) / PHP 19,999 (12GB/256GB) Build/Design - The Infinix NOTE 60 Pro takes clear design cues from premium smartphones, featuring a slim 7.36mm profile that makes it one of the thinnest phones in this price range. Its headline design trick is the Active Matrix Display embedded on the camera hump, capable of showing notifications, charging status, Pixel Art, and even mini games. Add in the Halo Light ring for visual alerts, and the NOTE 60 Pro definitely looks more expensive than it costs.Nothing Phone (4a) and Infinix NOTE 60 Pro designIt is available in six colorways, including Mist Titanium, Deep Ocean Blue, Solar Orange, Mocha Brown, Torino Black, and Frost Silver, and it comes with Gorilla Glass 7i protection and IP64 water splash resistance.The Nothing Phone (4a) keeps things minimal and distinctive with its see-through rear design and the new Glyph Bar, a strip of 63 LEDs that lights up for calls, notifications, and charging alerts. People will notice it, just for different reasons. At 8.6mm and 204.5g, it is slightly thicker and heavier than the NOTE 60 Pro, while it also carries IP64 protection.Both phones are well-built for their price. The NOTE 60 Pro reminds me of Apple's iPhone 17, while Nothing has its unique transparent design with updated colorways.The display of both phonesDisplay - Both phones use a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and WiFi 6 connectivity, so at a glance, they share a lot of DNA. The NOTE 60 Pro has the edge in refresh rate at 144Hz versus the Phone (4a)'s 120Hz adaptive panel, and it also has a slightly higher pixel density at 431 ppi compared to 387 ppi. The NOTE 60 Pro's 2304Hz PWM dimming and 2,800Hz touch sampling rate is also a notch above the Phone (4a)'s 2160Hz and 2500Hz touch sampling rate, respectively.In an actual side-by-side comparison, the NOTE 60 Pro also appears to have a slight edge in terms of color accuracy as well.AnTuTu benchmark resultsSpecs - Here is something you do not see often in a comparison: on paper, both phones run on the exact same processor, the 2.7GHz 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4. RAM configurations are also identical across both lineups.In our benchmark test, the Nothing Phone (4a) achieved 1,144,065 points in AnTuTu, while the Infinix received a slightly lower 1,096,436 points.While these numbers showed that Nothing has an edge, these differences are barely felt in real-life usage. Both should be capable chips for your everyday tasks and gaming. Where they differ is in storage and connectivity. The NOTE 60 Pro only comes in 256GB, but it uses UFS 2.2 storage, which is a step slower than the UFS 3.1 in the Nothing Phone (4a). On battery, the NOTE 60 Pro has a clear advantage. Its 6,500mAh battery is notably larger than the Phone (4a)'s 5,080mAh, and its 90W wired and 30W wireless charging speeds are faster than Nothing's 50W wired and 7.5W reverse wireless setup.Infinix also claims up to 34 hours of nonstop video playback and six years of healthy battery life with the same self-healing technology that restores up to 1% of battery capacity every 200 charge cycles.The camerasCameras - This is where the two phones diverge significantly. The Nothing Phone (4a) has a clear camera advantage on paper and likely in practice.It sports a triple-camera setup with a 50MP Samsung GN9 main sensor with a large 1/1.57-inch sensor and OIS, plus a dedicated 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto with OIS, giving it genuine versatility across zoom ranges. Its 32MP selfie camera is also substantially better than the NOTE 60 Pro's 13MP front shooter. The Infinix NOTE 60 Pro has a dual-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.59 OIS main shooter and an 8MP ultra-wide. The wider f/1.59 aperture is a real strength for low-light main shots, and OIS helps with stability. But the lack of a telephoto lens and the weaker selfie camera are noticeable gaps compared to the Phone (4a). If cameras matter to you, the Nothing Phone (4a) wins this round comfortably.Other features - The NOTE 60 Pro is loaded with extras that feel punching above its price. It features JBL-tuned stereo speakers with Hi-Res Audio certification, an IR Blaster, a dedicated AI button, a health measurement sensor, a Stainless Steel VC Cooling System for sustained performance, and Bypass Charging for gaming without stressing the battery. It also includes an X-axis linear motor for haptic feedback. A lot to offer at PHP 17,999. The Nothing Phone (4a) counters with its Glyph Bar system and OTG support. Its GPS also uses dual-band L1+L5 for more accurate navigation, a small but appreciated detail. Both phones support WiFi 6, 5G, 4G, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and dual SIM.OS Both phones run Android 16 Operating system paired with their respective UI skins. The Infinix uses an XOS 16 featuring the GlowSpace interface. The company says it is inspired by Apple's Liquid Glass for smoother animation and optimized UI. Infinix promises up to 3 years of OS upgrades and up to 5 years of security patches.Meanwhile, Nothing uses its own design with the Nothing 4.1 as well, bringing clean aesthetics and an almost bloat-free Android experience. It also gets years of updates, but the NOTE 60 Pro has 6 years of security patchesNothing Phone (4a) Pros - Iconic Glyph Bar design with a clean see-through rear, Triple camera system including a 50MP periscope telephoto with OIS, 32MP selfie camera, faster UFS 3.1 storage, longer security patch supportInfinix NOTE 60 Pro Pros - Slimmer build at 7.36mm, Active Matrix Display, and Halo Light, 6,500mAh battery, faster 90W wired and 30W wireless charging. JBL stereo speakers, an AI button, and a health sensor, with a more affordable starting price.Our thoughtsThe Infinix NOTE 60 Pro makes a strong case for itself at PHP 17,999. It packs a bigger battery, faster charging, more unique features, and a slimmer design at a price that undercuts the Nothing Phone (4a) by a good margin.For budget-conscious buyers who want a feature-rich daily driver with serious battery stamina, it is a very hard phone to say no to.That said, the Nothing Phone (4a) justifies its higher price with a better camera system, faster storage, and cleaner software. If you shoot a lot of photos, especially with zoom or selfies, the Phone (4a) is the smarter long-term investment.What do you guys think?
