Xiaomi has expanded its REDMI lineup with the budget-friendly REDMI A7 Pro. It is the first time the entry-level REDMI A series has adopted a “Pro” model.

On paper, the REDMI A7 Pro has all the practical features expected of a budget handset today.

The phone has a 6,000mAh battery for extended daily use, powering up to 49 hours of calls, 77 hours of music, or 35 hours of video playback.

The device has made sure the battery retains 80% capacity even after 1,000 charges, or about three years into usage. Xiaomi promises a 48-month like-new software experience, banking on optimizations over time.

In front is a 6.9-inch display, with up to 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 800 nits of peak brightness. This is complemented by Wet Touch Technology 2.0.

Powering the REDMI A7 Pro is a Unisoc T7250 processor. Configurations start at 4GB RAM plus 64GB internal storage.

Moreover, the device ships with Xiaomi HyperOS 3 ready out of the box. It is a first for an A series device, and also means the phone comes with Google Gemini and Circle to Search, among other handy AI features.

For its camera package, the phone comes with a 13MP main camera and an 8MP front camera. The main camera has 13% better light intake for better captures.

Other practical features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, side-mounted fingerprint-sensor, and triple TÜV Rheinland certification for eye care.

Finding a smartphone that balances performance, longevity, and price is crucial for smart spenders. Practicality matters, especially in an era where prices all seem to have risen.

Designed for long-term value, the OPPO A6s 5G enters the scene as that reliable handset that you can expect to work for years to come — a daily driver that balances giving your needs with sensible spending.

Reliability that lasts: 60-Month Fluency

A smartphone shouldn’t just feel new the day you unbox it. The OPPO A6s 5G is headlined by 60-Month Fluency Protection.

OPPO optimizes software and hardware to ensure lag associated with aging phones won’t keep up with the A6s 5G.

This is an assurance that the device will have maintained steady performance for up to five years – for everyday scrolling, gaming, and multitasking.

Complementing this is a capable MediaTek 6300 processor, plus ample memory and storage.

Users also benefit from OPPO’s features like AI LinkBoost 3.0 for network optimization and GameBoost 2.0 for smooth gaming.

All these truly make the OPPO A6s 5G a smart return on investment for practical users.

Unrivaled endurance: 7000mAh Large Battery

When it comes to staying connected, the A6s 5G sets a high bar with a massive 7000mAh battery.

This handset doesn’t just last a full day to cover essential usage; it can power through an entire weekend without ever reaching for a cable.

From commutes to documenting a busy day, to staying online 24/7, the OPPO A6s 5G endures.

When you finally run low on power, 80W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge ensures you spend more time on the move and less near a power source. It’s an impressive fast-charging speed for its class.

Rugged durability: IP69 resistance

As with previous OPPO A series releases, the physical build of the OPPO A6s 5G is designed to survive the unpredictable nature of daily life.

It has IP69 water and dust resistance to withstand sudden downpours, accidental spills, high-pressure water jets and even high-temperature environments.

Beyond software longevity, this signature ruggedness OPPO’s budget devices are known for offers the ultimate peace of mind for users.

Smart imaging for every moment

Imaging remains a core strength of the OPPO A6s 5G, which has an AI-powered camera system.

It has a 50MP main camera, designed for the “everyday photographer” – and everyday keepsakes.

The smart features work behind the scenes to optimize skin tones, balance exposure, and enhance details in various lighting conditions.

Every shot is social media-ready, with ample clarity and detail, without having to fiddle with complex settings.

OPPO A6s 5G offers

The OPPO A6s 5G is currently available nationwide in Ice White and Cappuccino Brown variants through OPPO Stores and the OPPO Online Store, starting at PHP 21,999.

As part of the launch offers, customers can get these exclusive perks when they order online from May 1 to May 21:

This feature is a collaboration between OPPO Philippines and GadgetMatch.

The viral HONOR Robot Phone, first showcased at MWC 2026, will officially be launched in Q3 2026.

HONOR confirmed this during the Cannes Film Festival’s China Night, showcasing the Robot Phone in partnership with ARRI.

It is a fitting backdrop for the upcoming phone to be showcased, providing audiences with real-world creator experiences. This is a huge leap from just demos back during MWC earlier in the year.

ARRI is one of the world’s most iconic names in cinema and professional filmmaking technology. The collaboration represents a major milestone in bringing professional cinematic imaging closer to consumers — through AI-powered mobile innovation.

The HONOR Robot Phone’s AI-powered robotic imaging capabilities include film-grade motion control. That’s in a smartphone form factor.

This positions the upcoming device as the next evolution in mobile filmmaking and AI hardware innovation.

Obviously, real-world applications include content creators opting to use the HONOR Robot Phone instead of carrying with them multiple devices, like a compact camera, gimbal stabilizer, and external microphone, to name a few.

This phone is also set to rival the likes of the latest iPhone Pro Max variants, which put premium on allowing users to create cinematic content.

Cinematic capture with motion control

At the heart of the Robot Phone is a self-developed micro motor paired with an ultra-compact 4DoF gimbal system.

The handset is also built around a 200MP sensor integrated into a stabilized gimbal camera system. A three-axis stabilization setup supports smooth motion even in dynamic scenarios.

Moreover, Super Steady Video mode enhances stability during high-movement shooting, while AI Object Tracking allows the device to intelligently follow subjects. AI SpinShot enables 90° and 180° rotational movements, creating fluid, cinematic transitions — even when shooting one-handed.

By combining stabilization, intelligent tracking, and controlled physical motion, HONOR aims to narrow the gap between smartphone video and professional-style storytelling.
