Hello fabulous ladies!
How’s your weekend? Mine got soooo effin fabulous, and my apology because that kind of fabulousness was chosen to be kept personal (*wink *wink)
But there is one fabulous thing that I couldn’t help sharing. And I know, especially for those smartphone photographers, Instagrammers, and most bloggers like me will surely like.
For a fashion and lifestyle blogger like me, having a reliable camera is a must. Three years ago, I’ve bought my sassy red Nikon D3100 and became my best ever reliable camera (and still it is and I love it!).
My blogging life becomes more motivating, though I admit I haven’t played yet all the special functions of my D3100 but then I will soon!
****
But like they always said, the only constant in this real world is CHANGE, and there are times you have to be open for it (or you will end up like remains of the past enclosed in a glass).
I remember about 6-months ago, I was crossing the street from Market Market mall to Serendra when my eyes got caught with this signboard of two of my favorite humans on earth: Scarlett Johansson and Henry Cavill – both sporting the newest Huawei P9 smartphone. I admit that I find their ad so chic and sexy (in my definition) which I thought “Damn I wish to have that phone!” I knew instantly that I like it – it’s like LOVE or lust???) at first sight! LOL
My thoughts might find you super funny – yeah even my friends really laugh about my thought, but that’s how I describe the things I want.
But hey, who on Earth would find these two creatures not beautiful?!!! Whoever suggested getting these two is a genius!
But in this situation, am not an impulsive buyer (Allelujah!)
I’ve decided to think about it for weeks and if the feelings are still the same (or more intense) then I will grab it.
*****
Then a huge surprise came in. After two months of slightly ignoring my desire for that smartphone, Huawei Philippines sent me a Huawei P9 unit in a gold case, the exact unit that I’ve been lusting! Woooraayy!
I got soooo effin excited I almost orgasm, LOL
And who wouldn’t??? It’s an effin FREE PHONE FROM A HUGE MOBILE COMPANY!
And it’s the exact phone that I am wishing for, for months, duh.
I might not (yet) see Scarlett Johansson and Henry Cavill in flesh, but at least now we have something in common. And that is something special for me.
Scarlett Johansson attends Huawei P9 Fans Club Party event in Guangdong, China
Another thing that I love about my Huawei P9 (aside from their brand ambassadors) is the fact that Huawei P9 has an incredible camera lens that captures beautiful photos, to some point that D3100 had to enjoy its days-off, LOL.
In a historic pairing, Huawei and Leica have joined together to create a stunning dual-lens camera in a smartphone, offering more light and better clarity for amazing photos and videos.
Last month during Huawei’s Fan Club Party in Guangdong, China – Scarlett shared her liking for Huawei P9.
As the ambassador of Huawei P9, Scarlett said that whilst she doesn't consider herself a great photographer, P9's excellent camera gives her greater confidence to capture every moment -- and that's a special thing.
And I agree with her! I’m no professional photographer either, and I love my Huawei!
Scarlett said that her favorite feature of the Huawei P9 is the "incredible camera", saying that she loves taking photos of her daughter (two-year-old Rose Dorothy Dauriac). She also praised that the phone, featuring an excellent quality camera, allows users to see the world through a different lens.
In addition, she described her partnership with the Huawei team as a "great experience" and said that working with a technology company for the first time had opened up a lot of new opportunities. She also highlighted her appreciation for the opportunity to work with Man of Steel star Henry Cavill and influential fashion photographer Mario Testino in the accompanying advertising campaign for the Huawei P9.
Huawei announced that Huawei P9 has reached 9 million in sales. It has been well received and loved by consumers around the world, some of whom are Scarlett's fans.
YES INCLUDING MOI!
The event ended after a selfie with her fans and Scarlett mentioned that, as she did not participate in any social media, it was wonderful to come together with her fans in person and was touched by the love from her Chinese fans for her and her films.
So how did I sport my inner sassy Scarlett Johansson using my new phone?
Just like Scarlett’s I’m using my Huawei P9 to capture those fun and exciting moments of my recent blogging life. It’s convenient and not heavy (unlike when I used to bring my Nikon D3100), and captures totally clear images and videos in just a few touches.
See some of my captured random photos below! These are raw photos and no edit necessary :D
My own version of (lazy) still life. Little sums up of what I like - I like colorful things, scribbling and writing, drinking tea (oh TWG!), crocheting, veggies (yup I can eat those bell pepper-like candies), and lipsticks!
Whenever I visit the UNIQLO Store, I can't help but snapped a photo of myself. You can't blame me - their wide mirrors are sooo tempting!
See how crisp those images are? No edit necessary, only the right focus and perfectly and maximizing the light available from the background. Definitely looks like captures by a DSLR, right?
Even the night photos are so fucking good! A total lifesaver for non-professional photographers!
Huawei P9 lenses capture photos so clear even my whiter face with facial creams on is perfectly clear!!!
You may also check my first ever light photography using Huawei P9!
The Huawei P9 is the first smartphone from the collaboration between Huawei and the global iconic camera brand Leica, resulting in a stunning dual-lens camera in a smartphone, which sets a new benchmark in smartphone camera technology, with more light and better clarity, to capture brilliant color and striking black and white images in true Leica style.
Images from the ground-breaking dual-lens camera are brought to life on a 5.2 inch full HD display. The P9 is powered by Huawei's latest Kirin 955 chipset and runs Android Marshmallow 6.0.
Well even my favorite fashion blogger/influencer Heidi Nazarudin likes Huawei P9!
The Huawei P9 family fuses cool, sleek design and precision detail with state-of-the-art technology to change the way we see the world. It continues Huawei's legacy of premium mobile devices that have set the industry standard for elegance and performance.
And I think Huawei is doing its job in perfection!
"Huawei's passion for pushing boundaries of innovation, matched with our proven expertise in camera and lens engineering, has made for a beautiful collaboration in creation of the P9." - Oliver Kaltner, CEO of Leica Camera AG.
What can you say about Huawei P9? Have you also tried (or bought!) this phone? Share your thoughts here :D
This is so cool! So glad you hada great week, love! Have another great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kasey! Great weekend and great phone :D
DeleteI have the iPhone 6. It's funny because I just dug out my camera from one of the boxes from when we moved. I feel like, unless you have a REALLY good camera and you specialize in photography, the camera is becoming an obsolete thing due to the amazing capabilities of our phones!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I think I'm using my phone not for sending messages but most for photography :D
DeleteMakes me happy you had a great week (: Cheers! Love the last photo you look great love the Christmas Tree it's pretty.

ReplyDeleteThank you! Keep on exploring my page :)
DeleteI hadn't heard of this phone yet, but the pictures look great! I know Leica makes great camera lenses so having that in a phone sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree. When Huawei partnered with Leica, its quality status pumps up, and makes a good quality of photographs, and no need for any editing.
DeleteLooks like a great phone, and it's so cool that it came to you in such a timely way! Your photos are beautiful, as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brandi!

ReplyDeleteYes Jessica and that's why am happy with this phone!
DeleteA great phone with a great camera is a must now. There are so many moments that people can capture in their lives. A great phone with a great camera will make those memories lasts forever.
ReplyDeleteand smartphone is much lighter that DSLR. :)
DeleteI love taking snapshots and it would be nice to have a phone that's as handy as the P9. I think it's a great phone with lots of cool features.
ReplyDeleteYou are right Elizabeth. Recently Huawei just released its newest model called Huawei P10 and they are kinda cooolll!!
DeleteScarlett is such a nice actress and it's great that she chose to endorse such a cool phone. It takes quality pictures and it's perfect for bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI agree Carol. Very handy and capture perfect photos :)
DeleteI think this is awesome. I've been thinking about replacing my phone and this fits the bill. I always look for a smartphone with a good camera in case I can't bring my camera with me on a trip.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my DSLR was been sitting at home for many months. I'm still using it during indoor photography or when I travel overseas.. but when am having a stroll, I bring my Huawei P9 instead.

DeleteI am glad you had a great weekend. I am a Samsung girl myself but love testing out technology.
ReplyDeleteI never tried Samsung because it is too hyped and too expensive :)
