Before anything else, let us clarify something first: 5G is safe and does not pose a risk to your health. In case you’ve heard of the rumor that 5G sites contributed to the spread of COVID-19, well, they’re wrong and we have nothing to be afraid of. In fact, frequencies similar to 5G have been used for decades now on other things – like TV and data transmissions, but we’re all still alive!

Moving forward, we’re actually hoping that the Philippines would become more 5G-friendly and welcoming to technological advancements. Budget-friendly 5G phones are already here, just like the newly released Huawei nova 7SE 5G with 64MP 5 AI cameras, Kirin 820 5G SoC, a Huawei Punch FullView Display, and 40W SuperCharge for quick charging. This phone is quite charming, not just because of its 3D glass back design, but also due to the side-mounted power button and fingerprint sensor on the right side of the device.

Leading its camera is a 64MP lens for the main rear camera that supports ultra high-definition photos and 4K videography. The device has an ultra wide-angle lens, macro lens and bokeh lens to satisfy all of your shooting needs in any scenarios.
