Walt Disney Southeast Asia’s first smartphone arrives in Philippine shores through Globe Telecom, making the country the first in the region to get the LTE-enabled phone.

The Philippines gets three designs of the Disney Mobile handset: Mickey Mouse (in light silver), Frozen (teal), and Disney Princess (pink).

Out of the box the device runs Android Lollipop. It sports a 5-inch HD IPS display, a 13-megapixel main camera and 5-megapixel selfie shooter.

To bring the magic of Disney right in the palm of one’s hands, the phone comes preloaded with content from Disney, including live and static wallpapers, widgets, and famous Disney songs like Do You Want to Build a Snowman and Part of Your World. Also included are premium Disney apps like Princess Story Theater, Frozen Storybook Deluxe, and Castle of Illusion.

The phone also gives users exclusive access to movie premieres, retail promotions, and a whole range of other Disney content from the Disney Philippines website.

Globe’s Disney phone is available on myStarter Plan 500, with a Php250 monthly cashout that can be charged to your bill. The subscription comes with unlimited calls and texts to Globe and Touch Mobile (TM), 300 texts to other networks, and 200MB of data plus 1GB of data for Spotify Basic. It also allows free access to Facebook and Viber.

Globe Senior Advisor for Consumer Business Dan Horan announces launch of Disney Mobile in the Philippines, the first country to get the Android smartphone in Southeast Asia.

If the myStarter Plan 500 is above your budget, you can get the phone on a cheaper plan, which starts at Php300.

In 2015, Globe and Disney entered a partnership to give the carrier access to brand properties of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars.

Cellprime is the original design manufacturer (ODM) of Disney Mobile handsets in the Philippines.

Horizon Forbidden West will get a PC version next year

Complete Edition drops on the PS5 next week

Horizon Forbidden West

Patient gamers are about to see the fruits of their waiting. If you skipped Horizon Forbidden West on the PlayStation 5, you have a new chance to grab the title and its DLC on another platform. The game, along with the Burning Shores DLC, is coming to Steam and the Epic Games Store next year.

Though the announcement of the PC version is sudden, its existence is hardly a surprise. The game’s predecessor, Horizon Zero Dawn, also came out for PC. At the time, the game was part of Sony’s initial push to bring its formerly exclusive titles to other platforms. Next year, Forbidden West continues the run after enjoying an exclusive period with the PlayStation 5.

Horizon Forbidden West also continues the story of Aloy after the events of Horizon Zero Dawn. The title takes on newer, more extreme locales. It also features new mechanical beasts to hunt and tame.

Both the Steam and the Epic Games Store pages for the game do not reveal when exactly the version will drop. They only say “2024” as the release date.

However, if you want to play both the base game and the DLC in one package, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition is dropping on the PlayStation 5 next week on October 4. Besides the game, it will also have a digital art book and the soundtrack.
