First, the basics. What is DIZO? In case you missed it, DIZO is realme’s sub-brand that aims to make smart devices accessible to more people. They’re doing this by offering quality products at a more affordable price.
This list, in particular, features five devices that won’t break the bank, but will help give users a taste of that smart tech life.
DIZO GoPods D
In terms of wireless earbuds, this is about as entry level as it gets. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing though. The Dizo GoPods D has a 10mm driver with a Bass Boost+ algorithm. Most people like to measure if an earbud or headphone is good based on the bass levels it can produce. That’s certainly the schtick here as well.
Buyer’s Guide: Buy this if you’re still using a phone with a mini-USB cable. That way, you don’t have to carry a different cable or your phone and your wireless earbud.
DIZO GoPods Neo
Think of this as the USB-C version of the GoPods D. It has a similar 10mm driver with Bass Boost+. In addition though, this also has active noise cancellation for when you want to shut the world out. Inversely, it also has a transparency mode that lets you hear your surroundings even with the earbuds on.
The case has a clamshell design just like the DIZO GoPods D. It’s compact and easy to carry since you can just slide it in your pocket. They also instantly pair with any Android smartphone that has its bluetooth on. So, maybe don’t set it up around other people.
Buyer’s Guide: This one’s for those already rocking USB-C smartphones. It’s also made for people who want a taste of active noise cancellation but aren’t ready to fork out north of PhP 5,000 (around US$ 100) to experience the feature.
DIZO Buds Z
The DIZO GoPods Z deviates from the more compact design of the DIZO GoPods D and DIZO GoPods Neo. In terms of looks, it’s more in line with the AirPods Pro and Freebuds Pro that feature a tiny stem. In our experience, these are normally used as mics which make them pretty good for making calls. Even the case is reminiscent of the Freebuds Pro’s which is a circular thing with holes that house the stem.
The stem also has this special material that reflects light to create a myriad of bedazzling colors. Great if you want to make people look.
Like the DIZO GoPods, this has both active noise cancellation and transparency modes. It also claims to last for two weeks on a single charge.
Buyer’s Guide: It’s for anyone who wants something that’s lowkey flashy and also has wireless earbuds staples like bass boost and noise cancellation. Plus the stem design should really help with call clarity.
DIZO Wireless
The DIZO Wireless is the most easily distinguishable from all the audio products here. It sports a neck band design which, one could say, is the precursor to the wireless earbuds that saturate the market today. It has all the Bass Boost and noise cancellation bells and whistles one might look for on a modern smart earpiece, but this one’s designed for sporty types who like to workout.
Buyer’s Guide: If you constantly workout and want something you can wear during your sweat-it-out sessions, this is the one to buy. You won’t worry about it falling off your ears and you can just as easily not mind it as you keep fit.
DIZO Watch 2
While we’re on the topic of keeping fit, why not pair the DIZO Wireless with the DIZO Watch 2. It has an undeniable resemblance to the Apple Watch which can either be a good thing or bad thing depending on who you ask.
It has a 1.69-inch full touchscreen display that could be a little more responsive. That said, it is a PhP 1,999 smartwatch so you get what you pay for. It does the usual smartwatch things like monitor your heart rate, track your steps, measure your workouts. You know, the works.
Buyer’s guide: Another decent starting point if you want to try a smartwatch but don’t have the capacity to spend big. It’s also one of the better looking Apple Watch look-alikes out there.
DIZO Products are available on the DIZO official Lazada Store.

OBSBOT’s Meet Flip is your next best pocketable 4K webcam
Fold the Flip for further protection
Several months ago, you might remember that OBSBOT revealed the Tiny 3 series of web cameras.
Six months after, they also unveil the all-new Meet Flip. From the name itself, it’s the company’s latest foldable 4K webcam that puts hardware privacy front and center.
Foldable and pocketable
Despite weighing just 37.7 grams, the Meet Flip aims to deliver premium webcam features for all types of users. Be it remote workers, professionals, or content creators.

Undoubtedly, the biggest highlight has got to be the webcam’s folding design. Not only it’s portable, it protects your privacy too.
Closing the device physically blocks the lens, giving users a visual confirmation that the camera is no longer active. When it’s time for a meeting, simply unfold it and it’s ready to go.
That lightweight body also features a built-in mounting clip that works with laptops, monitors, and tripods. Users can mount it in landscape, portrait, or even upside-down orientations depending on their setup.
Despite that absurd amount of lightweightness, the OBSBOT Meet Flip is still able to house a 1/2-inch Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor with Quad Bayer technology. That’s something more commonly found among bigger and higher-end web cameras.
Other camera features include:
- 4K video recording / 30fps
- 1080p recording / up to 60fps
- HDR support for challenging lighting
- Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF)
- 4x digital zoom
- f/1.8 aperture with ISO 100-6400 support for low-light environments
Beyond just video calls
The OBSBOT Meet Flip isn’t just packed with serious camera hardware, it’s seriously intelligent as well.
The Meet Flip supports AI Auto Framing. This automatically keeps users centered during meetings — regardless if they are presenting alone or with a group. Gesture controls also let users activate framing or adjust zoom without touching the keyboard or mouse.
Another standout feature is AI Magic Notes which provides real-time meeting transcription and automatically generates summaries, action items, and key discussion points.
The feature works with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams through OBSBOT Center. Every webcam includes complimentary transcription of 120 minutes.
With that being mentioned, OBSBOT Center also makes users gain access to software features such as background blur, virtual backgrounds, beauty mode, and picture-in-picture overlays for presentations.
Those who want more advanced controls can enable Smart Eye Tracking, teleprompter support, and manual image adjustments.
Audio also gets an upgrade through an intelligent dual-microphone system that offers four recording modes:
- Directional Mode / solo calls
- Dual-Directional Mode / interviews
- Smart Omni Mode / group meetings
- Pure Audio Mode / unprocessed stereo recording
AI Noise Reduction and Automatic Gain Control are also available across most modes to help improve voice clarity.
OBSBOT’s Meet Flip is also compatible with mobile devices through the OBSBOT Live app and supports integrations with accessories including Elgato Stream Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, and UVC-to-NDI/HDMI adapters.
Pricing and Availability
The OBSBOT Meet Flip is available starting today for US$119 through OBSBOT’s online store, Amazon US, and select retailers worldwide. Regional pricing may vary.

CASETiFY drops Samsung Galaxy Z8 series collection
Tailored for the latest foldable devices
CASETiFY, as expected, has dropped its latest ecosystem tailored for the new Samsung Galaxy Z8 series devices.
The lineup caters to all devices under the series: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8, Z Fold8, and Z Fold8 Ultra. Accessories under the lineup range from US$ 20 to US$ 70. They are available across more than 70 CASETiFY Studio locations worldwide.
The latest collection reimagines the relationship between hardware and style, effortlessly bridging heavy-duty, military-grade protection with a modular network of magnetic add-ons and deeply personalized visuals.
Recognizing that the hinge is the most fragile component of a foldable device, CASETiFY is introducing a precision-engineered, smooth-gliding hinge protection mechanism for the very first time.
This is fortified to be incredibly tough and resilient against daily impacts for uncompromised 360-degree defense.
At the same time, CASETiFY still promises a seamless open-and-close movement each time to make the phone secure, clean, and easy to carry.
The CASETiFY Samsung Galaxy Z8 series lineup includes:
Impact Magnetic Case
The signature case introduces a breakthrough, smooth-gliding hinge cover that fully encases the device’s moving parts — minus the bulk. It is fortified with EcoShock technology and protective raised bezels.
Impact HD Screen Protector
This ultra-responsive defense layer is crafted from surface-strengthened 9H tempered glass. It features advanced anti-fingerprint and antimicrobial coatings.
Impact Camera Lens Protector
This scratch-proof tempered glass shield keeps your camera safe from every angle. It is also precision-engineered to prevent flash light haze to preserve original photo quality.
16 Personalities Print Collection
In addition, CASETiFY is giving enthusiasts a way to show who they are with the brand-new 16 Personalities Print Collection.
This typography-centered collection turns a four-letter personality personality archetype into a high-design visual manifest.
The highly collectible print collection expands far beyond the Galaxy Z8 series. It will be available across a wide selection of iPhone silhouettes and compatible lifestyle options.
CASETiFY has unveiled a new Marvel collaboration inspired by Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The collection marks the brand’s first Spider-Man release since 2023. It also arrives alongside Sony Pictures’ upcoming film, which opens later this month.
The lineup includes phone and tablet cases, MagSafe accessories, earbuds cases, watchbands, laptop sleeves, and wireless chargers. It is headlined by two premium phone cases. The Aluminium Spider-Man Mask Case costs US$84, while the 2.5D Silicone Case sells for US$78. Both are available for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Fans can also choose from five printed phone case designs: Spider-Man New Mask, Spider-Man Poster, Spider-Man Medley, Spider-Man Medley (Dark Version), and Spider-Man New Suit. CASETiFY also lets buyers personalize select phone cases and MagSafe wallets through its Custom Sticker feature.
More Spider-Man accessories
The collection goes beyond phone cases. It also includes MagSafe Grip Stands, Cardholder Stands, Wallets, a 2-in-1 Charging Stand, Earbuds Cases, Watchbands, Camera Lens Protectors, Laptop Cases and Sleeves, Tablet Cases, and Wireless Chargers. Prices start at US$24 for the Camera Lens Protector and go up to US$92 for the 2-in-1 Charging Stand.
The Marvel Spider-Man: Brand New Day x CASETiFY collection is now available through CASETiFY’s website, the Co-Lab app, and CASETiFY STUDiO stores worldwide.
