realme has spent the last few years focusing on its budget and midrange offerings. This mainly had to do with the smartphone company’s internal rebrand. But finally, after a two-year hiatus, realme is back with another flagship killer. The realme GT 6 is confirmed for a June 20, 2024 global launch.

In addition to its global release, realme’s close-to-premium segment challenger is also confirmed for a Philippine launch on the same day at 4PM (GMT+8). The GT 6 is the latest entry to realme’s product line that debuted in March 2021.

Consumers may tune in to the realme GT 6 launch on June 20 at realme’s official YouTube and Facebook pages.

Flagship killer

There aren’t much details yet except for realme’s teaser poster which showcases what certainly looks like a humanoid hand holding the realme GT 6. That gives everyone a hint that the device is tailor-made for today’s AI era.

Users can expect improvements in image quality, user interaction, and productivity with realme’s latest product. Design wise, it has a silver metallic finish and sports a triangular camera setup similar to the brand’s C series.

For comparison, the realme GT 5 had a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, a 6.74-inch AMOLED 144Hz HDR10+ display, and up to 16GB and 512GB of RAM and storage, respectively. It also had 150W of fast charging.

It’s been years since realme introduced a GT series handset in the country in the realme GT 2 Pro. It had a worthy overall packaging consisting of smooth performance, immersive display and audio, and capable cameras. The Philippine market also enjoyed the realme GT Neo 3.

After that, realme focused on its number series and C series to give customers more affordable options. But finally, the market is getting another higher-end option.

And yes, according to a leaked photo, it does look like a Motorola phone, especially with the rear camera design. After all, Lenovo does own Motorola, so the similarities make sense.

In terms of hardware, it’s unknown which piece of hardware will come to the new phone. Since it’s a gaming phone, you can expect some beefy specs for all your gaming needs. Besides that, it’s confirmed that the device will also feature a heavy heaping of AI to help the performance along.

Now, in a Weibo post, Lenovo has confirmed that the new Legion Y70 is coming in May. That said, it will be a China-exclusive release for now. The brand ahs not confirmed whether the phone will arrive in international markets after the initial launch.

Godzilla Minus Zero trailer teases the kaiju’s arrival in New York

The movie premieres in November.

Published

Godzilla Minus One was one of my favorite movies in 2023. Only the second live-action Godzilla in the ongoing Reiwa era, Minus One reintroduced the Japanese version of the legendary kaiju to contrast the blockbuster approach of the American Legendary Pictures franchise. Now, the award-winning movie is getting a sequel: Godzilla Minus Zero.

Set as a direct sequel to the 2023 film, Godzilla Minus Zero takes place in 1949, a few years after the events of the past movie. As the end of the last film portends, the eponymous monster survives the catastrophic attack against it. But as to how it survived and what it’s targeting next, we’ll just have to wait and see.

In a newly released teaser trailer, Minus Zero will once again feature the return of the previous film’s Koichi and Noriko. The latter of which is still sporting the scars of surviving Godzilla’s attack on Ginza. Koichi, however, finds himself back in the cockpit of a fighter plane to unknown purposes.

That’s not all. Godzilla is apparently ditching the Pacific Ocean for the Atlantic. In a brief scene that will surely become iconic as time goes by, the kaiju traipses gingerly but menacingly past the Statue of Liberty.

Thankfully, it’s not a long wait before we find out what the world’s favorite kaiju is up to this time. Godzilla Minus Zero will premiere in Japanese cinemas on November 3 and American cinemas on November 6.
