📱 REVIEW : Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus Battery Case From Lazada.

Since my built-in battery juice capacity on my Samsung S8 plus is just 3500 mah, with all day long usage, while the 4G is turned on – it won’t last that long. In addition, my phone is already two years old since I bought it via Globe Post Paid Plan courtesy of my friend; I must say that the battery capacity is really deprecating.

Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

And so, I decided to purchase this battery juice plus it is also a case. It sounds like hitting two birds in one stone. I’ve been checking a lot of kinds like this based on price, features, brand, and availability until I ended buying through Lazada.  For the amount of PHP770 plus a delivery fee of PHP50 – not bad for an additional 5000mah on the top of my existing 3500mah on my phone.

How fast I got the Item? :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good Side: 
1. It charges simultaneously - the phone and the battery case.
2. The matt finish is elegant looking.
3. The 5000mah, I tried to test if it is really an accurate capacity inline with what they advertised. It is true, I was able to charge twice my phone.

Bad

1. After a month of usage, it started to show the scratches and it became cheaper when it comes to aesthetics.
2. If you connect the USB to your PC or any devices - it won't read and you need to remove the battery case. This is cumbersome in my end especially if I have to transfer my videos to my PC to edit my vlogs. In addition, if you keep removing the case, it will just result in damage - both phone and the case which I personally experience.
3. There no specific brand, it is a generic product.

FINAL THOUGHT:

I didn't regret buying this product, aside from the issue about the ease of use when transferring the files to my PC, everything is fine, the price that I paid is worth for the service that I got. Until now, I am still using it.

Though I consider buying another one - featuring Quick-charge sync-through technology, the battery case allows me to sync my computer without having to remove the case. Simultaneously charge my Samsung s8+ and battery case together with my original

🏐 I’m Possible – A Unity Game and Outreach Program for Deaf Awareness Month.

A Deaf Awareness event is a massive help for us – hearing - to fully understand the shortcomings of the deaf. “Deaf Awareness Month is a national month of celebrating deafness. It is observed annually throughout the month of November” said the teacher from Integrity Deaf Crusaders. From the combined effort of Juan Umbrella – a BPO employee engagement team and its volunteers; I was able to join and celebrate equality and inclusion.

“I’m Possible” is an outreach program and a unity game held at Philippine School for the Deaf on November 16, 2019.  PSD is located at 2620 F.B. Harrison St, Pasay, 1702 Metro Manila. It is a half-day sports event between the volunteers from Juan Umbrella versus the varsity player from the said school – PSD.



The event starts at 8AM with a parade of the players and the proponents of the program. Next in line is the parade of colors, doxology and flag ceremony. The hype of Zumba opened the energy of everyone, followed by volleyball, basketball and equality game – LGBT versus PSD.

The awarding of the winning teams and the most valuable players are the most awaited part of the event. Aside from the medals and trophies, Juan umbrella donated balls and goods. The event ended at 12:00 Noon with free lunch.

Undeniably, one thing that I have learned from the event; They Might can't Hear Us, But They Can Feel Us and Mostly, they can play fairly with us.

📦 Xiaomi Mi Box S - Amazing Android TV Box with Built-in Chromecast, UltraHD and Google Assistant.

As a birthday gift to myself, I bought another Android TV Box for my weekend entertainment. I purchased the Xiaomi Mi Box S. I knew that you guys are aware that I just got the EVPAD 3S last two weeks ago. Yes, but the highlight of it – just the live TV streaming but the android apps feature is not actually Google Certified. There is a huge difference between the two.

The Bluetooth Remote is full of simplicity and ergonomics.

OVERALL: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I must say that - this is the best item that I got for this year 2019 because I can use it every weekend and weekdays streaming videos online - Movies, Series and Vlogs.

Price ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Since I purchased this in their listing at Lazada storefront – Xiaomi’s Official Store, I only got this item for the amount of PHP 2,090.00 with an additional delivery fee of PHP 50.00. In comparison, it is quite higher if you’re going to buy at their physical store at malls – it is amounting to PHP 3,500.00.

With its feature, Built-in Chromecast; no need for me to buy a separate Chromecast that is ranging from PHP 5,000 (the original one). I can easily cast whatever videos from my laptop and phone towards the TV with no lag.

NETFLIX CERTIFIED: ⭐

Xiaomi Mi Box S is certified by Google, meaning, this product – all games and apps that can be downloaded in google playstore , you can maximize the full potential of it.  In addition, Mi Box S is claiming that they are Netflix-Certified. This means that this product can stream 4K (3840 x 2160) UltraHD. We can verify if the product is a Netflix certified if you can see the 4K wording below the title of the movie. (See screenshot below).

I already checked mine but it is not available. It only shows HD. I called Netflix Customer Service twice to verify if my gadget -MI BOX S is a Netflix certified but there is no way for them to verify. Maybe I will just figure this out, maybe there is a problem with the HDMI cable compatibility. I don’t know! But it is kinda frustrating as I need to go back my Hisense TV just to stream UltraHD.

(erratum)- After 30 mins of publishing this blog, I already figured out why it is not streaming 4K. It was because I plugged in the HDMI cable to a wrong HDMI portal.
