Fans gathered, eager to see some of the Philippines' biggest music stars, including SB19, KZ Tandingan, TJ Monterde, Darren Espanto, DWTA, Calein, DJ Siangyoo, and Enchanted Kingdom's own P-Pop group, SMS.

Xiaomi fans captured exciting moments and showed off their best poses throughout the amusement park leading up to the All-Star Summer Concert.

Throughout the park, activity zones and interactive booths provided fans with opportunities to create and capture lasting memories. Attendees also had the chance to enjoy Enchanted Kingdom's most popular attractions, resulting in playful and engaging moments, perfect for capturing with the Redmi Note 14 Series.

A Night of Musical Magic

SB19, the P-Pop sensation, undoubtedly stole the show, igniting the crowd with their signature dynamic choreography and chart-topping hits. Their set included songs from their newest EP, Simula at Wakas.

SB19 kicked off their performance with an electrifying rendition of "DAM," followed by a deeply moving performance of "Time," which they performed live on stage for the first time. To cap off their set, they surprised the audience with their latest track, "Dungka!"

But the fun didn't stop with the music. Xiaomi kept the energy high with games and raffles. SB19 engaged the crowd with a fun guessing game, challenging them to decipher images and emojis representing the iconic features of the Redmi Note 14. The audience also enjoyed a Q&A session with the P-Pop group. Adding to the excitement, SB19 drew the names of three lucky winners, who each took home a brand-new Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G in Sand Gold.

Beyond the Concert Stage

The Xiaomi All-Star Summer Concert was more than just a musical extravaganza; it was a holistic celebration of Xiaomi's connection with its Filipino fans.

Xiaomi designed a full-day immersive experience for attendees, starting with a passport-based adventure across the park. Fans were tasked with exploring every corner of Enchanted Kingdom to complete various challenges. These challenges included capturing a fun group photo with fellow Xiaomi enthusiasts while riding the Grand Carousel, filming a dance video in front of the Anchors Away ride, and recording their best reactions after getting soaked on the Rio Grande Rapids. Attendees also got to experience Enchanted Kingdom's latest thrill ride, the EKlipse, where they struck their best "All-Star" poses while spinning up and down.

According to Tomi Adrias, Xiaomi Philippines Head of Marketing, "There’s no better way to commemorate 15 great years of making innovation accessible to all our Xiaomi fans by paying back their loyalty with a grand celebration like the Xiaomi All Star Summer Concert. We look forward to many more exciting years of innovations and a complete digital lifestyle for the Philippines."

Xiaomi fans reveled in the magical summer party and Enchanted Kingdom's rides.

The event was meticulously crafted to deliver an unforgettable experience that highlighted Xiaomi's user-friendly devices and dynamic brand, reflecting its core values of connection, creativity, and cutting-edge technology. It was a powerful demonstration of Xiaomi's gratitude for the unwavering support of the Filipino community over the years.

DJI Flip Philippines Price and Review: Foldable, Lightweight, and Budget-Friendly Drone
The DJI Flip foldable, lightweight drone is now available in the Philippines, priced at PHP 22,890 with the DJI RC-N3 Controller, PHP 32,890 with the DJI RC 2 Controller, and PHP 40,890 for the DJI Flip Fly More Combo with the DJI RC 2 Controller. This image shows the DJI Flip Fly More Combo complete retail package, not including the sling-type carry bag.
- Product: DJI Flip Drone
- Review Focus: Lightweight design, usability, image quality, automated features.
- Key Competitor Mentioned: DJI Neo (Flip positioned as better for serious creators under 250g).
Hotshot tech company DJI continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the consumer drone market, and their latest offering, the DJI Flip, is generating significant buzz.

Pitched as "lightweight done right," this drone aims to strike a balance between portability, ease of use, and image quality, especially appealing to vloggers and content creators on the move.

Based on consumer reviews and the product's popularity in the market, the Flip has become another hit for DJI. However, is it the right drone for you?

Well, let me present eight compelling reasons why the DJI Flip might deserve a spot in your content creation tech arsenal, especially if you are budget-conscious vlogger or you want to always travel light when shooting videos.

Offhand, I'd say that this drone isn't just about shedding grams; it's about providing a powerful creative tool that you can take virtually anywhere without the usual regulatory hassles associated with heavier drones in many regions. Let's dive into what makes the DJI Flip stand out.
1. Ultra-Lightweight & Compact Design

First and foremost, the DJI Flip tips the scales at under 250 grams. This is a crucial threshold in many countries, often meaning fewer registration requirements and restrictions on where you can fly.

This is how small DLI Flip looks when it is folded

Beyond the regulatory advantages, this featherlight design, combined with its compact form factor, makes the Flip incredibly portable. Tossing it into a backpack or even a large pocket becomes feasible.

So compact and so light!

The Fly More kit even includes a small, convenient shoulder bag, emphasizing its travel-friendly nature. Whether you're hiking, traveling, or just capturing everyday moments, the Flip's low weight and size mean you're more likely to have it with you when inspiration strikes. The enclosed rotors also add a layer of safety and durability.

This portability doesn't feel like a cheap compromise; it feels intentional, designed for creators who are constantly on the move and need a reliable aerial camera that won't weigh them down.

2. Impressive Image Quality Sensor

Despite its small size, the Flip doesn't skimp on the sensor. It houses a Type 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, which is quite large for this weight class. This sensor utilizes a 48-megapixel Quad Bayer design, allowing for high-resolution stills and enabling features like pixel binning for potentially better low-light performance in standard resolution modes.

Furthermore, it incorporates Dual ISO Fusion technology, which helps manage dynamic range, capturing more detail in both the highlights and shadows of challenging lighting conditions. For casual users wanting great shots without fuss, and even for more serious creators needing quality footage, this sensor provides a solid foundation. Compatibility with third-party ND filters (Neutral Density) further enhances its versatility for shooting in bright conditions.

3. Advanced Video Capabilities

The DJI Flip offers great video specifications support, including the ability to record crisp 4K video at up to 60 frames per second (4K/60p). This allows for smooth motion capture and the flexibility to create slow-motion effects in post-production when shooting at higher frame rates.

Crucially for creators serious about post-processing, the Flip includes DJI's D-Log M color profile. Shooting in D-Log M captures a flatter image with wider dynamic range and more color information, providing significantly more flexibility for color grading and matching footage with other cameras. This elevates the Flip beyond a simple point-and-shoot drone into a more capable filmmaking tool.

4. RAW Photo Support

For photographers who demand the utmost in image quality and editing flexibility, the inclusion of RAW photo support is a major plus. Unlike standard JPEG files which compress image data, RAW files (typically in DNG format for DJI drones) capture the unprocessed data directly from the sensor.

This means you have far greater control over parameters like white balance, exposure, highlights, shadows, and colors during the editing process using software like Adobe Lightroom or Capture One. While JPEGs are convenient for quick sharing, RAW unlocks the sensor's full potential for those willing to spend time editing.

5. Useful Automated Shot Features

DJI is renowned for its intelligent flight modes, and the Flip benefits from this expertise. It includes automated shot features designed to help users, especially vloggers or solo creators, capture cinematic-looking footage with ease. These pre-programmed flight paths (like Dronie, Rocket, Circle, Helix) handle the complex drone movements automatically, allowing the user to focus on framing the shot.

While manual exposure isn't available during these preset shots (a potential limitation for pros), their ease of use makes capturing dynamic aerial sequences accessible to a broader audience. It even attempts to record audio via your connected phone, filtering propeller noise, though the effectiveness of the "Pure" mode was questioned in the review.

6. Solid Battery Life & Efficient Charging

Drone flights are always limited by battery life, but the DJI Flip offers solid performance for its class. To be specific, it offers around 30 minutes of flight time from a fully charged battery pack.

DJI Flip Battery Pack can be attached or removed conveniently and easily to the body of the drone

Perhaps more importantly, the Fly More kit addresses battery management efficiently with its included quad-battery charger. This allows users to charge multiple batteries sequentially or potentially simultaneously (depending on the specific charger design), minimizing downtime between flights and ensuring you have enough power for extended shooting sessions.

7. Intuitive RC2 Remote Option

While you can often fly DJI drones with just your smartphone, pairing the Flip with the optional DJI RC 2 remote controller is highlighted as a positive. This controller features physical sticks for more precise flight control, dedicated buttons for functions like starting/stopping recording, and includes a built-in screen.

The RC2 Remote has a large screen and an intuitive design. It's worth getting, in my opinion.

The RC 2 is intuitive, providing a more reliable connection and a better overall piloting experience compared to relying solely on a phone's Wi-Fi connection and touch controls. For anyone serious about getting smooth shots or flying with confidence, investing in the RC 2 bundle is likely worthwhile.

8. Great Value Proposition

Considering its feature-set, which includes its sub-250g weight, robust image and video quality, RAW support, D-Log profile, automated features, and solid battery system – the DJI Flip appears to offer excellent value. The review concludes it successfully balances size, price, and performance.

Personally, I believe that DJI Flip is a better option than the DJI Neo for "serious creators" who still need to stay under the 250g limit, hitting a sweet spot for prosumers, vloggers, and enthusiasts who demand quality without the bulk or regulatory hurdles of larger drones. It delivers capable performance where it counts.

DJI Flip Variant Prices in the Philippines

In the Philippines, here are the prices for the main DJI Flip configurations available from DJI Philippines itself as well as official distributors like Altitude Digital (altitude.ph) as of late April 2025 (prices exclude optional insurance plans and may change):
- DJI Flip (DJI RC-N3 Controller): PHP 22,890
- DJI Flip (DJI RC 2 Controller): PHP 32,890
- DJI Flip Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2 Controller): PHP 40,890
The RC-N3 controller requires you to use your smartphone as the screen, while the RC 2 has a built-in screen. The Fly More Combo typically includes extra batteries, a charging hub, spare propellers, and a carrying bag, offering better value for frequent flyers. Always check the retailer's site for the most current pricing and bundle contents.

Stellar Option Despite Some Limitations
To wrap up, the DJI Flip emerges as a highly compelling option in the lightweight drone category. It addresses the needs of travelers, vloggers, and even serious content creators looking for a portable yet powerful aerial imaging tool.

While it might face challenges in high winds due to its low weight and has minor limitations like the lack of manual exposure in automated modes, its strengths in portability, image quality, intelligent features, and attractive pricing make it a drone worth serious consideration.

You can do so much more with DJI Flip versus DJI Neo. However, of course, if you need something more powerful for videos, go for the Minis which are also more expensive. I think the DJI Flip sits nicely between the Neo and the Mini, which makes it very attractive for money budget-conscious content creators.

If you need high-quality aerial shots without the weight and hassle, the DJI Flip presents strong arguments for becoming your next go-to drone.

eSIM to SUV: Cebuano Breadwinner Wins Toyota Land Cruiser ZX in Smart Holideals Promo
Jimboy Nuiñez, a hardworking breadwinner from Cebu, sees his Land Cruiser ZX win as a life-changing reward — a symbol of comfort, opportunity, and family adventures, made possible by Smart’s Holideals promo.
- Grand Prize Twist: Jimboy Nuiñez expected a smartphone, but drove away with a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser ZX.
- Loyal Subscriber Story: He’s been with Smart since 2017, stepping up as a provider for his family as the eldest of five.
- Bigger Than Data: Smart’s Holideals goes beyond connectivity with meaningful rewards and unforgettable moments.
When I read about how Jimboy Nuiñez, a 29-year-old from Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, joined the Smart Holideals promo hoping to win a smartphone, I smiled. He didn’t win just any phone — instead, he walked away with a brand-new Toyota Land Cruiser ZX. This story feels like something straight out of a feel-good movie, only it's 100% real and rooted in one Filipino's dedication, family love, and a bit of good luck.

From eSIM to SUV

Like many Filipinos excited by year-end deals, Jimboy had just activated a new Smart eSIM when he decided to try his luck with Holideals. He wasn’t chasing anything huge — a smartphone would’ve been enough. So when the call came that he had won the grand prize, his first instinct was suspicion.

“I signed up for the promo right after getting a new Smart eSIM. I didn't even realize the grand prize was a car,” shared Jimboy Nuiñez, adding, “When I received the call informing me of my prize, I initially thought it was a scam. It took a while for the news to sink in, and I'm so glad I answered that call!”

A Life-Changing Win

For Jimboy, who serves as the breadwinner for his family and the eldest among five siblings, winning a vehicle of this magnitude was more than just luck — it was a dream turned reality. The Land Cruiser ZX is a serious upgrade that represents comfort, opportunity, and newfound freedom for the whole family.

“I'm incredibly grateful to Smart. And I'm excited for my family's adventures with this car,” said Jimboy Nuiñez. For someone who takes responsibility seriously, this car is more than metal and wheels — it’s a symbol of hard work being rewarded.

Smart's Holideals: Rewards with Real Impact

Smart’s Holideals promo ran from November to January, touching the lives of thousands. Aside from the grand prize, participants won daily data perks, weekly raffles for high-end devices like the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Samsung Galaxy S24, and ZTE Blade A75 5G, along with vouchers from Viu and Foodpanda.

“At Smart, we strive to go beyond providing exceptional network experiences. We are committed to giving back to our loyal subscribers with meaningful rewards and experiences. This promo reflects our dedication to putting our customers first,” explained Alexis B. Winters, AVP and Head of Smart Customer Development Group VisMin.

Jimboy’s story highlights what makes Smart’s efforts truly impactful — it’s not just about offering great network service, but also finding ways to elevate lives. As Smart continues to innovate and reward its subscribers, stories like this remind us that sometimes, signing up for a promo can lead to a life-changing ride.
