Double down on AI 

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series doubles down on AI. It comes additions and refinements to Galaxy AI along with other improvements in hardware and performance

Circle to Search

Some of the more notable ones include an expanded Circle to Search function. It now anticipates what action you might take with your selection and opens an Edge Panel to help you decide. There’s even two additional two icons: one for finding out the music in your surroundings and another for AI Translate. 

Now Brief & Now Bar

However, perhaps the most pronounced addition is Now Brief and Now Bar. Now Brief is essentially a smart, “human-like” AI Assistant. Through the Now Bar on the lock screen, it can display your schedule, offer restaurant recommendations, suggest new music, and many, many more. 

The Now Bar is on the bottom part of the lockscreen to help minimize your overall interaction with the phone and get things done by simply issuing a voice command. 

This will work across Google apps, Galaxy native apps, and select third party apps. 

Content Creation things

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series adds a 50MP Ultra Wide camera that offers four times better detail than its predecessor. 

Meanwhile, you get key additions to your content creation suite with features like Nightography Video that denoises the videos you capture in night and low light shooting conditions. 

There’s also Audio Eraser that offers you granular control on the volume of your video. You can adjust the volume levels of Speaker, Music, Wind, Nature, and Crowd.

In addition, you also have Galaxy Log and Virtual Aperture for improved color correction and shot composition. 

More content-adjacent AI things are improved Generative Edits (Magic Erase, etc), and a more accurate Portrait Studio. 

Hardware and Performance

The entire Galaxy S25 line is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC that’s especially tuned for Galaxy. 

As for hardware changes, the Galaxy S25 series is slimmer and lighter compared to the Galaxy S24 series. The corners and edges have also been rounded for a better grip. For durability, there’s improved titanium and Corning Gorilla Armor 2. 

Colorways 

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Series come in various color options: 

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: 

Titanium Silverblue, Titanium Whitesilver, Titanium Gray, Titanium Black. With online exclusives being the following: Titanium Blackgold, Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Jadegreen. 

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 share the following color options: 

Navy, Icyblue, Mint, and Silver Shadow. Online exclusives are: Blueblack, Coralred, and Pinkgold.

Comes with double rewards points and 0% installment deals!

Published

on

Apple season is officially here, and you can now secure the all-new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max across all Beyond the Box physical stores and online channels.

As usual, Beyond the Box is stepping up the launch experience with serious perks, full pricing transparency, and flexible payment options.

PhP 22,000 in guaranteed freebies

Pre-ordering either the iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max gets you PhP 22,000 worth of premium gear. Beyond the Box breaks down the exact SRP for every item so you know the precise value you are taking home.

The bundle features the Momax iPhone 18 Pro Gift Set valued at PhP 2,670, the Momax 1-Vibe Bottle Magnetic Wireless Speaker Flask worth PhP 3,490, and the Bellroy Lite Tech Kit valued at PhP 3,190.

You also get the Function 101 MagSafe Ring Stand and Grip Holder priced at PhP 990, the Urbanista Malibu Solar-Powered Bluetooth Speaker worth PhP 8,990, and an exclusive Native Union Tote Bag valued at PhP 1,790 as an unboxing incentive.

Earn double tech bites points

Every pre-order earns Double Tech Bites Loyalty Points. Standard rates give you 1 point for every PhP 300 spent, meaning a PhP 100,000 purchase nets you over 600 points once you pick up your unit.

You can redeem these points on your next accessory upgrade or spend them at any restaurant under the Tasteless Food Group.

0% installments & “Lower-Than-Cash” promo deals

Upgrading is made easier with flexible financing. You can spread payments across 24 to 36 months at 0% interest via partner credit cards. Select payment terms also offer exclusive promotional rates that actually come out lower than the cash price.

If you are still deciding on color or storage, you can reserve a unit with a PhP 5,000 downpayment. To guarantee your stock allocation, simply settle the remaining balance on or before October 16.

Given high demand for specific colors and capacities, securing your order early is strongly recommended. Pre-orders are live today at all physical Beyond the Box stores nationwide and through their official online channels.

Ford Philippines brings back its annual Truck Month this September, pairing special financing and cash savings with extended service coverage across the updated Ranger and Everest lineups.

The month-long program shifts the focus toward long-term ownership peace of mind. This ensures drivers feel supported well beyond the showroom floor.

Comprehensive coverage for every journey

For drivers who view their truck or SUV as an essential partner for travel and daily routines, maintenance clarity brings genuine confidence.

Select variants in the lineup now include Ford’s 5-Star Care Package, bundling a five-year warranty, five-year scheduled service plan, and five-year roadside assistance.

Flagship performance models built for challenging roads, including the Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6, Ranger Wildtrak X 3.0L V6, and Ranger Wildtrak 3.0L V6, pair this complete service coverage with PhP 20,000 in cash savings. On another note, the Raptor 3.0L V6 also offers a PhP 150,000 all-in downpayment option.

Versatile family vehicles receive identical long-term backing, with the Everest Platinum 3.0L V6, Everest Wildtrak 2.0L, Everest Sport+ 2.0L, and Everest Active 2.0L all bundling the five-year care plan. Meanwhile, the Everest Wildtrak 2.0L Turbo includes an additional PhP 20,000 cash discount.

Financing designed around daily routines

Flexibility plays a central role in fitting a vehicle into personal budgets and busy lifestyles.

For the first time, the practical Ranger XLS 4×2 introduces access to the 5-Star Care Package, allowing buyers to select between long-term maintenance coverage, a PhP 50,000 cash discount, or a PhP 49,000 all-in downpayment.

Drivers drawn to the Ranger Sport 4×2 can opt for a PhP 59,000 all-in downpayment or zero percent interest financing. By providing multiple ownership paths, Ford aligns purchase incentive options directly with driver priorities, prioritizing lasting value throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.

Bringing the experience to dealerships and malls

The Truck Month celebration extends further with the Super September event, taking place from September 16 to 20 across nationwide dealerships and key shopping centers.

Customers who reserve any Ford vehicle during this five-day showcase receive an extra PhP 20,000 in cash savings on top of ongoing Truck Month offers.
