Zepeto lets you create a 3D character version of yourself
Everyone is obsessed with it!
Cute avatars have taken over social media! Everyone is posting their 3D characters using Zepeto, the newest online craze.
To put it simply, Zepeto is an app that allows you to create a 3D version of yourself. You can stylize and make your own emoji. It’s like a combination of Snapchat’s Bitmoji, Samsung’s AR Emoji, and Apple’s Memoji.
The app uses facial recognition technology to generate avatars. All users have to do is take a selfie or pull up an existing photo and upload it. (Pro tip: Use your best front-facing selfie to achieve a closer replica of yourself.)
When your avatar is generated, you can customize it to match your look in real life. After the character creation, you can dress up and decorate your home. It’s just like The Sims! You can also search for your friends through a unique code, since this app is originally a social media platform.
There’s also a feature called “Photo Booth,” which is the main reason why you’re seeing Zepeto all over social media. It allows you to take a photo of your 3D character on your own or with a group of friends. You can even customize it by adding a realistic background. If you’re into meeting people online, you can head over to the “Street” and greet other “Zepetos.”
The app allows your avatars to earn coins to splurge on fashion and home decorations by watching an ad or playing Flying Ghost, a carbon copy of Flappy Bird.
New features are on the way, but for the meantime, we can take all the photos we want and share them with everyone.
The app is currently ranked #1 on iOS. It’s available on both the App Store and Play Store.

Bad Bunny sounds off ahead of Apple Music Super Bowl LX
Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show press conference
Bad Bunny is stepping into Super Bowl LX with momentum and conviction. At the official Apple Music Halftime Show press conference, the Puerto Rican superstar previewed what fans can expect from his performance at Levi’s Stadium on February 8.
“I just want people to have fun. It’s gonna be a huge party. I want to bring that to the stage, a lot of my culture,” he said, adding that audiences don’t need to learn Spanish to enjoy the show. “There’s no better dance than the one that comes from the heart.”
Bad Bunny will perform at the half of the tiff between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. He confirmed that he will be with special guests.
But for the Grammy award winner for his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, the real presence will be his family, friends, and the Latino community worldwide.
“Everyone who’s stopped me on the street, they only wish good things on me. I know the world is gonna be happy this Sunday,” he emphasized.
As for how he’s feeling heading into the performance, he admitted the whirlwind of touring, Grammys, and rehearsals has been overwhelming.
“There’s a lot of gratitude. I’m excited about this performance, but I’m more excited about the people—my family, my friends, the culture. That’s what’s making this show so special.”
Sports, he added, have always been part of his life. “I grew up watching sports, playing sports very bad, but I do love sports. It’s one of my favorite combinations—sports and music.”
Interestingly, it’s sort of a full circle moment for him at the Super Bowl. In 2020, he shared the stage with Shakira, and five years later, he is headlining his own halftime show.
“It’s not like I said, ‘I wanna come back here by myself.’ I’m never looking for my biggest achievement. My biggest pleasure is to just create, have fun, and connect with people.”

What a day at Masungi GeoReserve taught me about a smartphone’s durability
Captured through the lens of the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G!
Xiaomi Philippines brought the Redmi Note 15 Series to Masungi GeoReserve to see how it holds up when the terrain is uneven.
Through the REDMI Titan Quest, we were brought into limestone paths and forest trails where dust settles fast and footing rarely stays predictable.
The day started with uneven ground beneath my feet and a phone that stayed out of my pocket. At Masungi GeoReserve, there was no reason to baby anything.
I spent the morning hiking and climbing, stopping only when something felt worth capturing using the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G.
Wide frames captured the scale of Masungi’s rock formations and open viewpoints.
Closer shots focused on textures, stone, and other details along the path. The 200-megapixel AI-powered camera system made it easy to move between 1x and 4x focal ranges as the light shifted throughout the day.
Power also never became a concern. With a 6,500mAh battery and 100W HyperCharge technology, the REDMI Note 15 Pro+ 5G kept up through hours of being outdoors.
Really ‘Titan Tough’
Durability showed itself early. Dirt clung to the device, and there were small knocks along the way that felt normal for a trail like this. Nothing cracked, of course.
A Titan Tough Durability Station later reinforced what the hike already proved; that dust and water resistance, and drop protection matter most in activities like this.
Designed for days like this, the REDMI Titan Structure, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2, and fiberglass back panels create a phone that feels ready for impact.
The Pro+ variant I’ve been carrying also supports drop resistance of up to 2.5 meters, which feels reassuring.
The Titan Quest builds on earlier REDMI Titan Lab durability tests, where toughness was measured under controlled conditions. On the trail, those results felt tangible.
Availability
The REDMI Note 15 Series is available through Xiaomi’s official stores on Shopee and Lazada. Select models come with bundled accessories, gift sets, and digital perks such as three months of Spotify Premium and a three-month 100 GB cloud storage plan.
The series includes Xiaomi Philippines’ No. 1 protection package, covering a four-year battery warranty, two-year liquid damage and exterior protection, and a two-year standard warranty.

Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 premieres in April
The animated series is set between seasons two and three.
Stranger Things is over. After years of success, the long-running series finally reached its definitive conclusion. But if you thought Netflix would easily let its biggest cash cow go, then you’d be mistaken. Barely a month after the final episode, the franchise is back with an animated spinoff called Stranger Things: Tales from ’85.
The animated series, which oddly features a new cast to voice the characters, is not a continuation of the concluded story. Rather, it’s a midquel set during the winter between the second and third seasons. Despite closing off a gate to the Upside Down, Eleven and the gang discover that some monsters are still lurking around in their world.
Because we already know what happens up until the very end, there’s hardly any tension. That said, and based on the show’s subtitle, the animated series might be a creature-of-the-week adventure. However, Eric Robles, who will run the series, says that saving Hawkins is still a major plot point.
The Duffer Brothers, who will be executive producers, says that it was a challenge to feature monsters after the events of the main show’s second season. The show will still have a substantial story, though.
For now, we’ll have a bit of a reprieve from everything Stranger Things (or time to catch up with everything, if you prefer). Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 will premiere on April 23.
