How Honor Magic6 Pro's AI Integration Makes it theNo.1 Smartphone in China


HONOR, the eminent global provider of smart devices, clinched the top spot among leading smartphone brands in the latest study conducted by the International Data Corporation (IDC). According to Antonio Wang, Vice President at IDC, HONOR secured a remarkable 17% share in the charts, with a staggering Year-over-Year (YoY) shipments surge of 123.3% in Quarter 1, 2024.

The recent debut of the HONOR Magic6 Pro in China witnessed First Quarter shipments surpassing the combined shipments of its predecessors in the initial two quarters. This achievement is attributed to its cutting-edge AI functionalities. Excitingly, the HONOR Magic6 Pro is set to hit the Philippines market on May 8.

"Being part of a prestigious and competitive global technology company like HONOR, it's truly an honor for us. We're excited about the challenge ahead and fully committed to bringing technological breakthroughs and innovation to the Philippines. We aim to achieve significant milestones in this dynamic market,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines.

Moreover, HONOR’s overseas market has gained significant growth during the past year with a 200% growth rate. By Q1 2024, HONOR has entered more than 100 markets and ranked Top 5 in many markets including Europe, Midde East, Latin America and Malaysia.

An HONOR Smartphone Produced Every 28.5 Seconds

HONOR consistently dedicates over 10% of its annual income to Research and Development (R&D), with this commitment growing each year. In the realm of AI exploration alone, HONOR has invested upwards of 10 billion CNY.

At present, HONOR boasts world-class R&D and innovation capabilities, sustained by a team of over 8000 R&D professionals spread across 7 R&D centers and over 100 innovative laboratories. The pace of innovation is evident in the company's submission of over 300 new patent applications monthly.

Notably, HONOR has achieved an impressive 85% automation rate in its intelligent production line. This level of efficiency enables the manufacturing of a smartphone every 28.5 seconds, showcasing the brand's commitment to cutting-edge technology and streamlined production processes.

With a theoretical capacity of 3579mAh/g for a pure silicon-based anode, this technology surpasses graphite by a remarkable tenfold. This development, akin to advancements seen in companies like Tesla, promises exceptional battery life and consistent performance.

Through the utilization of advanced materials boasting a 50% improvement in crystal density, the Magic6 Pro achieves a shock absorption capability up to ten times greater than before. This enhancement ensures unparalleled durability, securing the device against accidental drops and impacts.

Responding to the surge in popularity of "sportography" and the escalating importance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), smartphone manufacturers are doubling down on efforts to enhance capture speed and image clarity. With this, HONOR has taken proactive strides to spearhead camera innovation in the industry, with the HONOR Magic Series boasting a distinctive AI falcon camera system.

Sunshine Cruz is the Face of Thiocell Glutathione Lozenge


At 47 and a hands-on single mother to three daughters, one can wonder how celebrity mom Sunshine Cruz maintains her ageless glow. The secret is out!

On Tuesday, April 30, Sunshine was formally introduced as the face of international glutathione lozenge brand, Thiocell.

"I've been using it for three months already and it's very effective. It's not a secret anymore." Sunshine shared to the member of the press.

During the event, Sunshine proudly shared that she's been using Thiocell for three months already not just as a whitening supplement but also to prevent the harmful effect of sun and light exposure that causes early skin aging.

"Baka kasi may magtatanong sa inyo bakit kailangan ko pang magpaputi eh maputi na ako. Ang iniisip kase ng mga tao ang gluta ay nagpapaputi lang. But for me, bilang artista, kailangan may glow ang skin. Ang Thiocell Glutathione kase also serves as an anti-aging product. So it really helps me kasi, siyempre, 'pag artists tayo ay exposed sa sun kaya nagiging dull ang skin at nag-e-age ang skin. But with Thiocell, I observed na since nag-take ako, it really improved my skin na nago-glow." the actress said.

Thiocell Glutathione Lozenge is the first and only glutathione in lozenge form that allows glutathione to be absorbed by the body quickly, safely, and effectively as reported in the International Journal of Dermatology. As the Chief Operating Officer of Brady Pharma Inc. Tenambhat Krishnamurthy Rameash proudly said, there are a lot of benefits in taking Thiocell including the reduction in melanin levels in as early as two weeks.

"Technically, from a dermatologist's point of view, we can see the reduction in melanin in as little as two weeks," he explained. "The moment you start taking Thiocell from zero to 14 days, there will be a significant reduction of melanin levels in the body. Meanwhile, for the naked eye, a minimum of two months is what we need to use it and see visible effects."

Thiocell Glutathione Lozenge is available at local drugstores Mercury Drug, Watsons, and RosePharmacy. And also for sale on online shopping platforms Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop.

Lasagna-on-Demand, Physical Comedy, Emotional Stakes – Filmmakers Reveals What to Expect from "The Garfield Movie" Starring Chris Pratt


After nearly 50 years of comic strip stardom (thanks to creator Jim Davis!) and hilarious TV specials, Garfield is back on the big screen in The Garfield Movie, an animated film that brings together everything that audiences love about the famous orange tabby – plus a few things they never knew.

You know Garfield loves lasagna and hates Mondays, but he’s never had this kind of adventure until now,” says Chris Pratt, who voices everyone’s favorite curmudgeonly housecat as he takes on a big, hilarious cat-out-of-water adventure in the all-new, all-animated movie.

In The Garfield Movie, Garfield, the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie (voiced by Harvey GuillĂ©n) are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist. The voice cast includes Hannah Waddingham, Ving Rhames, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong and Snoop Dogg.

Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/HnGusjY49-A

Says producer Andrew Kosove, “The Garfield Movie is really a film for the entire family. There are emotional stakes and characters you care about – and of course hijinks and physical comedy.”

To show those emotional stakes, it was necessary for the cynical cat to show some kind of growth (and not just around the middle). “Garfield’s snark and cynicism is funny and effective in a three-panel comic,” notes producer Broderick Johnson. “In a movie, one has to have that character have some degree of growth in spite of himself. You have to root for him.”

For director Mark Dindal (The Emperor’s New Groove, Chicken Little) and his team, the process began with research into what makes Garfield Garfield – and finding the places where the character can grow and change. With many thousands of Garfield strips that have entertained millions for decades, the task may have seemed daunting, but fortunately, it was easier than ever to go back and find those classic Garfield gags.

When we started to make the movie, we had access to a database that had all of the comic strips archived,” Dindal recalls. “You could put in a keyword like ‘Garfield eating lasagna’ or ‘Garfield hugs Odie’ and it would bring up all of these terrific comic strips that we could reference. That was a huge resource for us, to find ideas that would connect to the comic strips that the fans would relate to.”

And in this movie, Garfield gets into trouble like never before. “This movie is about an indoor cat – a lazy, pampered, self-centered indoor cat – who is forced out of his comfort zone into a crazy adventure in the outside world,” says producer John Cohen.He’s totally ill-equipped to survive without the creature comforts of hot meals-on-demand, his La-Z-Boy chair, blanket, and remote control. There was so much opportunity for comedy in this fish-out-of-water scenario, especially with an arrogant character who’s stuck in his ways and thinks he knows better than anyone else. We had a ton of fun imagining endless possibilities for the laziest cat in the world at the center of a heist movie.”

Join Garfield and his friends on their crazy adventure when The Garfield Movie, from Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International, opens in cinemas May 29.
