Zoom into Imagination as OPPO launches it OPPO Reno 2 Series

OPPO Pakistan launched the new Reno2 Series at Faletti’s Hotel in Lahore. The Reno2 and Reno2 F models are the latest iteration of OPPO’s popular Reno series, coming packed with photography-enhancing features. The quad-camera setup includes 5x Hybrid Zoom allowing users to get far closer to a subject, ultra-clear night shots even under nearly-no-light condition on Ultra Dark Mode and super-stable video shooting on the go thanks to Ultra Steady Video.

“Inheriting the already rich creative spirit of the Reno Series, this latest iteration presents our users with even more creative possibilities, empowering them to discover new perspectives,” said George Long, CEO OPPO Pakistan. “Its advanced camera technology performs superbly in a range of environments and scenarios, from vast landscapes to confined alleyways, or sun-kissed beaches to dim, moonless nights.”

Advanced Camera Tech Unleashes User Creativity

The Reno2 will come equipped with four cameras that provide a full focal length imaging system; offering a 5x Hybrid Zoom, Ultra-Wide-Angle lens and more. Three lenses of varying focal lengths work to create a unique 5x Hybrid Zoom effect from the ultra-wide-angle to telephoto, fusing image technology to ensure a smooth, seamless zoom transition. The Ultra-Wide-Angle lens feature provides an impressive 116° perspective, bringing out even more different images and photo themes.

With a 48MP primary lens equipped with Optical Image Stabilization, F1.7 aperture, and a 1/2-inch sensor along with Quad Bayer technology, Reno2 can achieve better performance in low light. The Reno2 Series’ Ultra-Dark Mode covers an entire range of different night scenes via a powerful NPU, and OPPO fine-tuned algorithms. Even if light levels measure below 1 lux, it elevates your photos beyond naked eye through hardware network-optimized AI noise reduction. Software dynamic exposure adjustments also secure optimal picture brightness allowing you to reveal objects in the night with the use of a built-in NPU speeding up picture processing.

OPPO is paying more attention to Videography than before. OPPO’s industry-leading Ultra Steady Video Mode technology ups the stability of videos. It’s achieved through an IMU measuring device with a high sampling rate and a hull sensor, equipped with Electronic Image Stabilization and Optical Image Stabilization. These compensate users’ shaky shots more accurately, and together with a 60fps frame rate, enhance image stabilization, fluency, and overall image quality.

User-centric design combines practicality with style

The Reno2 is also equipped with a 6.5” AMOLED screen, 2400×1080 resolution, and a screen-to-body ratio of 93.1%, made from durable 6th Generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass. The Reno2 F features a slightly smaller 6.5’’ AMOLED screen, with 2340×1080 resolution, and a screen-to-body ratio of 91.1%, made from toughened 5th Generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass. The Reno2 comes with the improved Sunlight AMOLED Screen, which offers sufficient brightness even in bright outdoor environments while extending screen service life by 50% and reducing power consumption by 6%. The Reno2 comes with a Shark fin Pop-up Camera, which supports an ultra-clear backlit shots and all-new AI Beauty Mode while the Reno2 F features a 16MP pop-up front camera featuring an Atmosphere Light.

The Reno2 series feature seamless, one-piece curved bodies, and with three-layer stripping technology, OPPO has achieved a glossier, multi-toned look that shows off different color shades from different angles. They feature rear cameras that remain hidden under the back cover, which itself is made from durable 5th Generation Corning® Gorilla® Glass.
Cutting-edge hardware and software that delivers superb performance
The Reno2 Series is powered by ColorOS 6.1, running on the latest version of Android Pie 9.0. It provides a brand-new visual experience, including wallpaper designs that better match the phone’s exterior design.

This Reno2 series offers a complete gaming experience, with optimized features like Touch Boost 2.0, Frame Boost 2.0 and Game Space. Touch Boost 2.0 helps users avoid common pitfalls of running hardcore titles while Frame Boost 2.0 analyses the status of mobile performance so that frame rate and stability will be adjusted to prioritize a first-class gaming experience. Frame Boost 2.0 will also allocate resources to avoid the consumption of too much power and the heating of the phone. What’s more, Game Space collectively manages game apps to give users a distraction-free and more immersive gaming experience. Overall, the Reno2 Series has five-star gaming performance certification from TUV Rheinland, which tests the overall gaming performance of the phone from the screen, battery life, performance, and signal strength.

Also, OPPO has been concentrating on video content to deliver a more immersive experience together with the Reno2’s series’ high quality screen, Dolby Atmos®, and Hi-Res Audio.

The OPPO Reno2 series features fast and safe VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 technology. This uses a new VFC algorithm, significantly shortening the final 10% of charging time by doubling the trickle charging speed. VOOC Flash Charge 3.0 combines with the Reno2 series’ 4,000mAh (Typ) battery to provide users with a much longer-lasting battery.

Someone Turned a Mehran into a Pickup & It’s Fantastic!

mehran pickup concept

Creativity has no limits and there are countless examples of this. Innovation and invention go hand in hand and create the most brilliant of things.

One such example of this is the ability to come up with solutions without having to compromise on the pocket.

One man did exactly the same for a dairy business. A picture of an 800cc Mehran is going viral as some genius has turned his hatchback into a pickup truck!

The 3-decade old car has become a successful conversion for the purpose of dairy supply. As seen in the image, the b-pillar has been kept intact whereas the c-pillar has been removed, creating an open cargo space.

In the past, we have seen many more brilliant jugaars that have been done with the Suzuki Mehran. It has been turned into a sporty monster as well as a comfortable limousine too.

The possibilities are unlimited!

Christian Dior Becomes the Latest Foreign Brand to Apologise to China!

The popular French luxury brand of fragrances and accessories, Christian Dior has become the latest foreign brand to apologize to China for misrepresenting China’s territory (by not including Taiwan in a map).

Although Taiwan has been self-ruled since the 1950s, according to Beijing’s official policy, the island is still a Chinese province.

The storm created on social media by excluding Taiwan from their presentation is what forced the brand to apologize.

Somehow, anonymously, the video of the presentation was leaked and posted on the web, claiming to show a Dior employee giving a talk at a university in China and showing the map in question.

Thousands of citizens were triggered, as people complained that Dior was not respecting Chinese territorial claims.

So much hype got created around it that “Dior statement” was one of the top 10 most searched items on Weibo today.

Here is what the company’s official statement said:

 

“The company firstly deeply apologises for the incident on 16 October 2019 where a member of the Dior HR team was… giving a presentation when [the employee] made a mistake in representation and gave an incorrect explanation,”

“Dior has always respected and upheld the principle of one China, strictly upholding China’s rights and complete sovereignty, treasuring the feelings of Chinese citizens,”

Needless to say, China is a large market for luxury brands, and a negative word floating around cannot be afforded by these brands.

Mansha Pasha Criticizes Netizens for Comparing Kate Middleton to Pakistani Actresses!

Mansha Pasha

Social media is loving the Royal Couple’s Royal Visit in Pakistan.

Everyone applauded the fact that Kate Middleton’s designer kept Pakistan’s traditions and culture in mind wearing as she donned Eastern wear throughout.

However, netizens were also quick to point fingers and bash Pakistani actresses who have switched to western outfits.

Mansha Pasha called out the dual standards of social media clarifying that actors and actresses do not abandon their cultures when they wear western clothes.

She wrote:

Are Pakistani men also “abandoning their culture” and “supporting non Muslim values” when they wear jeans and a shirt since that is also a Western outfit?

When will the day come when women dont have to carry the burden of culture, religion, honor, representation?

She also added:

Neither is culture nor religion nor honor nor representation a burden. It is a gift.

But when one is killed for honor, criticised for what they wear or how they practise  religion – it becomes a yardstick by which to judge ppl, to isolate or humilate them.

mansha pasha

Mansha’s messages clarify that religion and cultures cannot change with a person’s clothing. She adds that we are too quick to judge others and leave out ourselves because we think we cannot commit any wrong-doings.

Sazgar’s BAIC D20 Hatchback Spotted on the Streets of Lahore

The famous rickshaw manufacturer Sazgar Engineering Works acquired ‘Category A- Greenfield Investment Status’ under the government’s new automotive policy.

#MeToo: Ali Zafar Must File a Response to Meesha’s Defamation Suit by Today!

ali zafar and meesha shafi
Image Source: Brandsynario

On October 11th, Ali Zafar took to his Twitter account to announce that Meesha Shafi’s case had been dismissed at the court.

Calling Shafi an opportunist who made fake allegations, Ali claimed that a precedent had been set by him and his team through this case.

He had always maintained that, due to people like Shafi, genuine cases of the #MeToo movement suffer while the fake ones benefit wrongly from it.

Ali and his wife, Ayesha Fazli also mentioned in their respective tweets that soon they will put out the evidence publicly for everyone to see and learn from.

Many of the rock star’s fans and followers began celebrating the ‘victory’.

 

However, soon after, the other side of the story emerged. The side that nobody shed any light on earlier.

It turns out that Ali Zafar has not been declared guilty in the court. Instead, the court has dismissed the case on the matter of legal jurisdiction, which means the ombudsperson does not have the jurisdiction to hear the case.

Sadly, because it was filed as a case of harassment during work, the court simply said that workplace harrassment does not apply to Meesha and Ali’s case as they weren’t working as ’employees’ of the same company.

It simply sounds like there is no sexual harassment law in place to protect women who are self employed.

However, Meesha’s defamation suit on Ali is still there, unresolved, as Ali’s lawyer did not respond to it at the hearing.

Hence, October 17th (today) is the last day for Ali and his team to file a response to it.

Social Media is Curious About Bushra Bibi’s Absence During the Royal Couple’s Pakistan Tour

royal couple meet imran khan

The nation is abuzz with excitement and chatter ever since the royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Pakistan for their official visit.

From their clothes, to their schedule to their meetings and the rickshaw they arrived in to visit the Pakistan monument , every single thing is being discussed.

On October 15th, the royal couple visited the official residence of Imran Khan.

Photos and videos of them meeting and interacting with the Prime Minister were all over social media:

However, Pakistanis cannot help but notice that Bushra Bibi is nowhere to be seen in the photos.

Considering how significant her place is, social media seems a little disappointed in not being able to see her participation in international tours and other such affairs.

Some think she is being kept away due to the fear of being criticized for her veil, while others think it is by her own choice that she remains to be unseen in these events.

 

Amidst all this criticism, many Pakistanis have spoken in favor of her.

They are of the opinion that she should be entitled to her own choice, even if there is a religious reason behind it.

Moreover, some have also pointed out that if the public expects her to show up and participate because she is the First Lady, they are wrong.

She is not the First Lady, Dr. Arif Alvi’s wife is, as he is the President of Pakistan and he WAS present alongside his wife to meet and greet the royal couple.

2. White/Beige Trousers

White trousers are literally available anywhere and everywhere. However, you can drop the white and opt for a beautiful light beige dobby-trouser with an elegant print to match the pacheri (dupatta) from Satrangi. You can even opt for the brown jacquard style trouser. If you prefer something plain yet eye-catching, then the gray/white dobby-trouser is for you.

3. Printed Dupatta

Last but not least, the final item you need for your royal look to come together is a stole or dupatta. The gorgeous emerald chiffon dupatta with gold screen-print that Kate Middleton wore is available at Bonanza Satrangi stores and online.

Are you ready to mesmerize in this enchanting look?

No Layoff of Employees Despite a Slowdown in Production: IMC

IMC

Indus Motor Company (IMC) has announced that it will not layoff its employees despite the downfall in production or sales.

An IMC spokesperson shared that the entire country is experiencing an economic downfall and markets have remained volatile due to this.

They added this has been a great struggle for many. Rupee depreciation, reduction in car financing, increase in federal excise duties (FED) and higher input costs added to the struggles.

They further shared that despite this, the company has decided not to layoff employees.

The country is going through an economic slowdown and the overall market has remained volatile. This has indeed been a great struggle.

The factors largely contributing to this include rupee depreciation, reduction in car financing, increase in federal excise duties (FED) and higher input costs. Yet, we have decided not to go for layoffs despite the hard times. We are absorbing this financial crunch.

The IMC spokesperson added that the rupee has depreciated over 31.6%. On the other hand, the Pakistani government has imposed 7% additional conveyance duties, 3% additional sales tax on imports and 2.5%-7.5% FED on various engine capacity vehicles.

Thus, a major decline has been witnessed for the past few months in many sectors especially the automotive market.
