vivo V70 delivers smooth gaming at up to 120fps


As mobile gaming  becomes a bigger part of everyday entertainment, smartphone performance is increasingly measured by how well a device can sustain smooth gameplay, manage heat and maintain battery life during extended sessions. The vivo V70 is designed to meet these demands through a combination of high-refresh visuals, thermal management and long-lasting power.


High-refresh OLED display delivers smooth visuals in fast-paced games


The vivo V70 features a 6.59-inch 1.5K Ultra Clear OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, enabling fluid visuals and responsive touch interactions during graphics-intensive gameplay.

This becomes especially evident in competitive titles such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, where fast reaction times and smooth animations can affect in-game performance. 

During testing, the vivo V70 maintained a consistent 90 to 120 frames per second (fps) with graphics settings pushed near maximum, including Ultra map quality, Standard model quality, High effects quality, Super high frame rate, and HD resolution. The result was smooth character movement and stable visual performance during team fights and skill-heavy encounters.

In first-person shooters such as Call of Duty: Mobile, where quick camera movement and rapid aiming are critical, the vivo V70 sustained 60 to 90 fps with Very High graphic quality and Max frame rate enabled, supporting fluid motion during multiplayer matches.



The display also reaches peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits, helping maintain visibility even under direct sunlight. 

Vapor Chamber liquid cooling helps maintain stable gaming performance 

Long gaming sessions often lead to thermal buildup, which can trigger performance throttling and frame drops. To address this, the vivo V70 incorporates a 4,200mm² vapor chamber liquid cooling system that efficiently dissipates heat from key internal components. 

This cooling system helps maintain frame stability during extended sessions of both MLBB and CODM, reducing the likelihood of sudden lag or stuttering during prolonged play.

The device also includes Ultra Game Mode, which minimizes interruptions, optimizes network connectivity and allocates system resources to gameplay, helping sustain a more consistent gaming experience.

Large battery and fast charging support longer play sessions

Power endurance remains critical for gamers who spend extended periods in matches or ranked sessions. The vivo V70 is equipped with a 6500mAh BlueVolt battery, designed to support long hours of gaming, streaming and daily multitasking.
When power runs low, 90W FlashCharge helps reduce downtime by quickly replenishing battery levels. The device also supports Bypass Charging, which powers the system directly during gameplay rather than routing energy through the battery, helping reduce heat buildup when charging while gaming.

Benchmark results reinforce real-world performance

The vivo V70 tested was the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, powered by a Snapdragon mobile platform.

In AnTuTu Benchmark v11 testing, the device recorded a score of 1,434,017, placing it in gaming flagship territory.

For stress testing, the phone was set to a 120Hz refresh rate and subjected to both Wild Life Extreme and standard Wild Life benchmark loops over 20 minutes. The device achieved 65.4% stability, retaining nearly two-thirds of peak graphics performance under continuous load, while surface temperatures peaked at approximately 42 to 43 degrees Celsius.





These benchmark and in-game results indicate that the vivo V70 is capable of delivering sustained high-frame-rate performance across both MOBA and FPS titles without significant thermal compromise.

The vivo V70 is now available nationwide through vivo stores and official online channels, including vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop at a starting price of Php 35,999. Learn more about its full features on the vivo website.

Here’s what 1600mm zoom looks like on the vivo X300 FE

 


In everyday life, moments unfold quickly, often unnoticed. A flower by the roadside, a bird perched at a distance, striking piece of public art between buildings. These are scenes people pass by without realizing how much detail they actually hold.

With the vivo X300 FE, users can capture everyday moments with clarity and ease. Even better when paired with the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, unlocking up to 1600mm zoom, bringing distant subjects into striking, detailed focus.

Together, they show two ways of seeing: what you can capture normally, and what becomes visible when you extend your reach.

     
  23mm wide (without extender)                                           1600mm zoom with
                                                                            vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2

In a 1600mm zoom shot, a violinist statue becomes vividly detailed, its form and craftsmanship clearly visible even from a significant distance. In contrast, the same subject in a 23mm wide shot remains physically present in the scene but appears small and easily overlooked at normal viewing distance.

The difference in perspective highlights how distance can conceal detail, and how telephoto zoom can bring those hidden elements forward with clarity and precision.


Seeing from different perspectives

Through the vivo X300 FE, users can capture scenes from a natural 23mm (wide) perspective, along with built-in zoom capabilities for closer framing of distant subjects.

Without the telephoto extender, subjects can still be brought closer through standard zoom, but detail remains limited by distance. With the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, faraway subjects can be captured with significantly enhanced clarity and detail.

23mm wide                  Without extender                         With extender

A flower by the roadside is visible in its environment, but fine textures and subtle details are less pronounced at this distance.

With the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 at up to 1600mm zoom, textures, edges, and intricate details become significantly clearer, revealing aspects of the subject that are difficult to capture with standard smartphone zoom.


Bringing distant subjects closer and clearer

The difference becomes even more evident when capturing moving or distant subjects such as wildlife.

A bird perched far away appears even at standard zoom without the extender, but distance limits the clarity of fine details.


Without extender                                      With extender

With the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, the same subject is brought significantly closer, revealing sharper definition, texture, and detail.

This comparison highlights how the telephoto extender enhances the ability to capture distant subjects with greater precision and clarity.


The vivo X300 FE is designed for users who enjoy capturing everyday life with clarity, offering versatile imaging for both wide and telephoto perspectives.

When paired with the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, the experience expands into long-range photography that brings distant subjects significantly closer, unlocking creative possibilities that typically require dedicated professional camera equipment.

More than an accessory, the telephoto extender transforms the X300 FE into a more powerful imaging system, rewarding curiosity with greater visual reach and precision.

The vivo X300 FE and vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 are available at vivo stores nationwide, through Shopee, Lazada, the vivo e-store and the vivo official app. 

The vivo X300 FE is priced at Php 54,999. A bundled package featuring the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 is available for Php 68,998, offering extended zoom capabilities of up to 1600mm for enhanced long-range photography.

Purchases made via the vivo e-store or vivo official app come with a free vivo photography bag.


Intellegal launches verifiable AI legal research assistant for Philippine legal professionals

Technese Legaltech Inc., a legal technology company based in Makati, today announced the launch of Intellegal (intellegal.ai), an AI-powered legal research and review assistant built specifically for Philippine legal professionals.

Designed for a profession where speed matters only when it is matched by accuracy and authority, Intellegal brings together Philippine case-law search, statutory exploration, deep legal synthesis, case comparison, legal-document visualization, and contract review in a single AI-assisted workflow.

The platform is built around a clear principle: legal AI should accelerate the research process, reduce repetitive work, and make complex materials easier to navigate — while keeping every answer grounded in verifiable legal sources and leaving final judgment with the lawyer.

At the center of Intellegal are three design commitments: deep legal research at speed, verifiable legal citations, and AI augmentation rather than replacement. The platform helps users move more efficiently from legal question to source, from source to analysis, and from analysis to informed professional judgment.

Intellegal’s key modules include Case-Law Analytics, Law Explorer, Deep Synthesis, Case Contrast, Visual Digest, and Contract Review, each designed to support a different stage of Philippine legal research, analysis, and document review.


Two Core Research Engines for Philippine Legal Practice

Intellegal’s primary research capabilities are anchored in two core engines: Case-Law Analytics and Deep Synthesis.

Case-Law Analytics serves as a unified Philippine case-law search and analysis tool. It brings together tasks that are often handled separately — case retrieval, statutory matching, and legal analysis — into a single integrated workflow. Instead of moving repeatedly between search results, statutes, case texts, and research notes, users can work through relevant legal materials in one connected research environment.

Deep Synthesis allows users to ask legal questions in everyday language and receive structured, in-depth legal research reports. The system is designed to draw on Philippine legal materials, including cases and regulations, to help users work from current and relevant legal sources. Each citation generated in a Deep Synthesis report supports traceback to its original source, making the platform’s outputs checkable rather than merely persuasive.

“In the Philippines, legal work demands both speed and precision. We want lawyers to ask questions in everyday language and, in a single workflow, see the relevant cases, the laws that govern those cases, and a clear analysis they can verify. The judgment still rests with the lawyer,” said Hazel Bascon, Co-Founder of Intellegal.


Verifiable AI for Case Comparison, Visual Summaries, and Contract Review

Beyond its two core research engines, Intellegal includes a suite of specialized tools designed for practical legal workflows.

Law Explorer helps users navigate Philippine statutes and regulations alongside related case law, allowing legal professionals to move between legal provisions, authorities, and research questions within a connected workflow.

Case Contrast enables users to compare decisions across multiple dimensions, including issues in dispute, legal facts, rulings, and reasoning. Users can upload cases or import them from saved collections, then examine how decisions align, diverge, or develop across legal questions. The tool is designed to help legal professionals identify doctrinal similarities and differences more efficiently, with source-traceable outputs.

Visual Digest turns lengthy legal documents into intelligent summaries and visual structures. By combining legal-document AI summarization with contract-summary visualization, the tool helps users quickly grasp the structure, core points, and key issues of a memo, contract, case file, or other legal document.

Contract Review examines documents clause by clause against relevant Philippine law. The tool identifies potential risks using a four-level flagging system — Must Fix, Should Fix, Optional, and Missing — and can provide redlined output with tracked changes. Each finding is tied to a legal basis, helping users review, revise, and mitigate contractual risks more efficiently.

Contract Review returns a redlined document with tracked changes, each finding tied to its legal basis.


A Secure AI Legal Tool for Students, Practitioners, and Legal Teams

Intellegal is now available to users across the Philippine legal ecosystem, including law students, bar reviewees, solo practitioners, law firms, and corporate legal teams.

For law students and bar reviewees, the platform offers a faster way to understand cases, compare doctrines, and organize legal materials. For practicing lawyers, it supports research-heavy work, case preparation, document review, and legal analysis. For corporate legal teams, it provides AI-assisted legal research and contract review tools that can help streamline routine but high-stakes legal workflows.

Intellegal also places strong emphasis on data protection. User data is protected in transit and at rest through encryption. Search histories, case analyses, uploaded documents, and personal information are kept confidential and are not shared with third parties for commercial purposes. Full details are available in the platform’s privacy policy at intellegal.ai.

As legal AI becomes increasingly relevant to professional services, Intellegal positions itself not as a substitute for legal expertise, but as a verifiable AI super-assistant for the work behind legal judgment: finding sources, comparing cases, synthesizing authorities, reviewing documents, and helping legal professionals move faster without giving up control.

Technese Legaltech Inc. said Intellegal will continue to develop around the practical realities of Philippine legal practice, with a focus on making legal research and review faster, clearer, and more verifiable.

For today's dads, staying connected matters most


For many fathers today, a typical day rarely stays in one lane. A work message comes in while commuting. A quick check-in with family happens between meetings. A short break often turns into a few minutes of entertainment before the next task begins.

For today’s dads, staying connected is less about being constantly online and more about keeping life moving without missing what matters. From juggling schedules and taking important calls to stealing a few quiet minutes in between, most of it now happens on one device that has to keep up with everything at once.

As daily routines become more blended, smartphones have taken on a central role in helping manage these shifting demands. For fathers balancing work, home responsibilities, and personal time, reliability and long-lasting performance have become key considerations.

A 4D Game Vibration feature adds tactile feedback during supported gameplay, including titles such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Call of Duty: Mobile.


The smartphone features a 6.75-inch Dotch Display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, aimed at providing smoother scrolling, clearer visuals and more responsive interaction across everyday tasks like browsing, streaming and gaming.

It runs on the Snapdragon 6s Gen 2 processor, supported by Game Boost mode and memory expansion for more stable multitasking and consistent performance across multiple apps. The vivo Y31d is available starting at Php 13,999 through vivo stores nationwide and online via the vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. 

As routines continue to blend work, family and personal time, staying connected has become less of a choice and more of a daily necessity. For today’s fathers, it is what keeps everything in motion, even on the busiest days.

The Modern Classroom Runs on More Than “6-7” Tabs


For today’s students, school life no longer starts and ends in the classroom. One minute it’s notes and lectures, the next it’s research tabs, group chats, presentations, and maybe a quick “study break” scrolling session in between. Safe to say, the modern classroom now runs on more than “6”7” tabs at once. 

As classrooms become increasingly digital, students are navigating more apps, windows, and sources of information than ever before. Constantly switching between schoolwork, passion projects, online learning, and even moments to recharge, routines today often involve juggling multiple tasks all at once. Having enough screen space can make everyday multitasking feel easier and staying productive feel more manageable. 


A Bigger Space for Everyday #SchoolLife
