vivo V27 5G to be available in more stores online
The Aura Portrait Master

To cater to a larger market, the vivo V27 5G variant will be available to purchase both via vivo’s official stores nationwide and its online shops on Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok starting April 11.
The “Aura Portrait Master” retails for PhP 24,999, and is the first smartphone for its price point that has a ring light – the Aura Light – instead of a phone flash for its camera setup.
The V27 5G has a 50MP f/1.9 Sony IMX766V sensor for its main camera. It’s flanked by an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide and a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera.
What’s great about the phone is that its Aura Light can be used both at night and in daylight. For instance, captures against the light will not be a worry when the Aura Light is turned on.
In front is a 50 MP f/2.5 wide selfie camera which is reliable for vlogs. Users can zoom in and out while recording. The camera also has an Eye Auto Focus feature.
With an immersive 6.78-inch HDR10+ screen and up to a 120Hz refresh rate, the V27 5G may also be utilized for watching high-resolution videos or for playing games seamlessly.
The phone has 12GB of base RAM, with an additional 8GB Extended RAM 3.0 technology. It also has 256GB of storage.
Best of all, the 4,600mAh battery may be charged to full in less than an hour. That’s thanks to its 66W FastCharge charger.

Filipino players will now have access to the Sigil Tablet update for Ragnarok Origin, allowing them to enjoy more power-ups and boosts during battle.
This latest feature on the beloved mobile MMORPG lets players to acquire exciting bonus effects. This is done by embedding powerful sigils onto their stone tablets, pushing character customization and enhancement to a whole new level.
Here are a few things to know about the Tablet System update:
Unlocking the Tablet System
To access the Tablet System, players must reach base level 75; once a guide quest is completed, players will unlock the system and be able to acquire free sigils.
Customizing Sigils
With the Tablet System, players can embed one active sigil, one specific class sigil, and up to four passive sigils simultaneously; some sigils take effect upon embedding, while others can be manually activated during combat.
Sigil types
Sigils are categorized into three: active, job-exclusive, and passive.
- Active sigils can be actively used in combat, granting players a diverse range of additional skills (Primal, Power, Descent of Holy Light, and Excalibur);
- Job sigils are exclusive to specific jobs, and enhance particular skills. For instance, Lord Knights can benefit from the Aura Enchantment sigil;
- Passive sigils can be activated during battles, regardless of a player’s class, to enjoy their effects during combat.
Sigil activation and upgrade
Each sigil unlocked for the first time will activate corresponding collection stats that have a permanent effect.
Unlocking and upgrading sigils will earn players collection XP, which in turn unlocks bonus stats and item rewards.
Sigil upgrade process
To increase the level of a sigil, players may utilize sigil charts. Each upgrade will grant additional stats for a stronger character.
Once the maximum level has been reached, sigil shards can be used to repair the stone tablet. Increasing the repair level unlocks stat bonuses too for further power boosts.
Acquiring sigils
Where does one acquire sigils? Sigils and sigil shards can be obtained in the Juperos Ruins, Dungeon Leaderboard rewards, and by purchasing random sigil boxes in the Nyan Berry Shop and Diamond Shop.

In the Juperos Ruins, players will assemble a five-member team to gear for an intense 10-minute battles where they will face off against three powerful boss monsters.
Each of the bosses’ revival will lead to increased difficulty, allowing players to win better rewards and scores.
