Unlock More Fun and Showcase the Real You #Y33s @Vivomobile_SA #ClearerShotUnlockMoreFun #vivoSA

Hi Friends, 

Living in today’s rapidly evolving world may feel more stressful and less fun than it previously was. The numerous restraints can make it seem like we have lost the ability to express ourselves. Here is where Vivo's brand new Y33s makes all the difference in helping us to exhibit our individual outlook in life. The latest addition to the Vivo Y-series – reputed for its ultra-clear images, trendy appearances, and stellar entertaining user experience – the Y33s rides on the earlier successful launches of both the V21 5G and Y21s, Y21s armed with an ultimate photography experience to capture every valuable moment in life. From young students to self-employed individuals, and to general employees, life is no longer mundane and much more fun with vivid pictures to look back on, with taking clearer shots never being easier than with the Y33s.

A good photo needs to be ultra-clear, high in definition and focus, and with a sharp capture to adapt to any and every setting. This is where Vivo's Y33s cuts the edge with a 50MP Ultra Clear Main Camera. Regardless of whether it is zoom in, crop, or still, the 50MP main rear camera sensor captures all of life’s memorable moments effortlessly with pristine clarity. The in-built Electronic Imaging Stabilization (EIS) Ultra Stable Video feature, Eye Autofocus and Super HDR function also eliminate the worry of photos coming out blurry or with wrong focuses!

While the exceptional 50MP Ultra Clear Main Camera serves as the centrepiece photography feature of the Y33s, the smartphone also comes armed with a wide range of camera functions tailored to every occasion. The 16MP Front Camera has a unique portrait algorithm, Super Night Selfie noise-cancelling technology, and Smart Screen Flash to make taking selfies in any setting breezy, even in low-light environments. Add another layer of customization through specially designed filters with the unique 2MP Bokeh camera to enhance filter effects and help capture that special moment. It works in tandem with the other cameras, ensuring that you will always have the right focus at the right time while everything else becomes unimportant. Be spoiled for choice with not one, but four sets of Stylish Night Filters designed exclusively for Vivo.

Special moments do not necessarily feature people, sometimes an image of a place can invoke memories or feelings that we treasure. Here is where a phone with a macro or wide-angle lens makes all the difference. vivo’s Y33s also has a 2MP macro lens to capture more details, as part of its configuration. This advantage will give you a more flexible platform to improve your photography skills, no matter where you are starting from.

Combined, the Y33s features a fearsome repertoire of cameras suitable for every occasion and environment, ensuring that the photos you take will always be on point every time. Speaking about perfection in photography and leading-edge technology, nothing comes as close as Vivo's Y33s.

From zoom to video, to anti-shake, and autofocus, the Y33s is the perfect phone for whichever camera and imaging needs you may require. On top of the stellar photography functions, it also comes with a convenient Side Fingerprint function to unlock the phone in one seamless motion. Its mega storage (4GB +128GB) is able to store up to 32,000 images, and over 6,000 songs, all of the best quality. Not to forget, the extended RAM of 4GB + 1GB will allow you to toggle between your favourite apps smoothly with minimal disruptions, so you don’t have to worry about laggy apps on your phone anymore. Imagine all these functions projected onto the 6.58-inch 1080P Ultra Clear Display of the Y33s, can life get any brighter and more vivid?

Coupled with its powerful performance of 5000mAh Large Battery and 18W Fast Charge, and 8mm Trendy Sleek Design, be prepared to wow your friends with this next new talk of the town. Pick from either the Midday Dream or Mirror Black, two eye-catching and trendy colour designs that will let you be the centre of attention no matter where you are. Unlock more fun, unlock greater companions, and unlock vivid memories with stronger connections through the Y33s; there is no better way to express and showcase yourself than this. The Vivo Y33s will be available in all Vodacom and MTN stores this November, with prices starting from the RRP of R5999 also available on postpaid deals from R299 and R329 on both 24 and 36-month options. Head over to your nearest store or our website for more information!

A Stylish and Sleek #Y33s With An Innovative Camera @Vivomobile_SA #ClearerShotUnlockMoreFun #vivoSA

Hi Friends, 

Complete Camera Package for Photography Enthusiasts and Selfie Lovers

Y33s is Vivo's upcoming and highly-anticipated launch that’s got everyone excited. Let’s start with the obvious reason why - Y33s will feature a camera setup that's perfect for phone photography enthusiasts. The new 50MP main rear camera sensor redefines high-definition photography.

Whether you zoom in or crop, you will be able to capture all of life’s best moments effortlessly. In addition to the 50MP primary camera, the Y33s will feature a 16MP front camera that selfie lovers will rave about. Capture selfies in HD and appears radiant all day long with Vivo's very own portrait algorithm.

Furthermore, when night falls, the Super Night Selfie noise-cancelling technology and Smart Screen Flash will light up your face against a background that’s rich in detail for clear and natural results. The Y33s even sports a 2MP Bokeh camera and a 2MP Super Macro camera for you to take portraits with greater depth.

The Y33s enables you to snap amazing photos of the vivid night scene like an expert thanks to a Super Night Mode with four sets of Stylish Night Filters created by pros. Record all of life's finest moments with ease and flawless clarity on your Y33s. Day or night, you’ll be able to capture all of life’s best moments effortlessly and get pristine clarity on your Y33s. To complete the camera package, the Y33s camera setup includes EIS Ultra Stable Video, Eye Autofocus, and Super HDR.

Powerful Battery and Fast Charging for Endless Entertainment

The Y33s is backed by a large 4GB + 128GB storage and powered by a massive 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. Users will be able to use the phone for endless movies, games, and fun. If you need to charge your phone throughout the day, you can juice it up in a shorter period of time. The Y33s even enables you to power others with a reverse charging function that transforms your phone into a mobile power bank - another feature that will leave your friends and family in awe.

Ultra Clear Display Packed into a Slim 8mm Body

The phone will come with a 6.58-inch 1080P Ultra Clear Display that delivers a great viewing experience with bright colours and vivid details. For the stylish user, the phone fares extremely well in the looks department. With an 8mm razor-thin body, the Y33s is sleek and fits snugly into any fashionista’s pocket. Standing at a mere 182g, you’ll have the added perk of not having to worry about the Y33s weighing your stylish clothes down.

Trendy Colors for the Fashionista in You

To cater to the preferences and tastes of different consumers, Vivo has made the Y33s available in two distinct (but equally trendy) colours. Midday Dream sees a back cover that adopts the masked AG process to achieve two textures. With a unique orange and blue colour gradient, the Midday Dream colour variant catches the light at every turn and is perfect for dreamers out there looking to add a splash of colours to your outfit. The phone is further coated with a liquid crystal coating that adds smoothness and keeps your phone away from fingerprints.

Those who’d prefer to accessorize their outfit with a more classy and elegant phone could go with the Mirror Black option which sports an elegant shade of black with a premium glossy sheen.

The message here is clear: with the Y33s, you’ll not have to rely on phone cases to make your smartphone look sleek and stylish - it does all that on its own. The Y33s is trendy and exciting. With it, you’ll not only be able to bedazzle your favourite outfit and wow your friends and family - you’ll get a well-rounded phone that’s packed with a great camera and performance punches that will leave you greatly impressed.

A Retro Portable Fun Begins With Instax Mini 40 @InstaxA #InstaxMini40 #ProductReview

Hi Friends, 

Fujifilm keeps launching these amazing portable cameras under the brand name Instax and with time the fun factor is becoming higher and higher across all age groups. I became an instant fan of their latest launched Instax Mini40 camera as soon as I saw it in my hands for the first time. I received a little later as I was not able to post the review of the earlier version and in the last quarter of 2021, I intend to clean my slate for all the pending blog posts as I make my way into completing the 9 Years of The Life's Way. 

The best part about any Instax Camera is its one-button operation and Instax Mini40 lives up to the expectations of the consumers and fans alike. There is a single button that brings the lens to action and a subsequent pull of the lens enables the selfie mode. 

Selfie mode is easy to operate as you can see yourself in the mirror provided on the body of the camera. There is also a macro mode which enables a close-up range of 30-50cm and is quite handy to use and operate. 

The Instax Camera mini40 itself looks premium and weighs around 330 grams. You need to insert AA sized batteries to enjoy the camera along with the normal Instax mini Films pack (10 sheets). The film ejection is automatic just like any other Instax camera and miniLink printer. The smaller compact body is in black colour in a leather-look along with premium silver accents on the borders. 

Some of the technical details in the mini40 lens are a focal length of 60mm, a real viewfinder with a target spot and automatic exposure control from Lv 5.0 to 14.5 (ISO 800). The film takes around 90 seconds to develop and after 300 seconds of non-operation it automatically switches off. The shooting range is 0.3m and beyond with 0.3 to 0.5m is for selfies. The programmed shutter speed is from 1/2 to 1/250 seconds and slow synchros for low light conditions. There is a constant firing flash (automatic light adjustment) with recycle time: 6.5 seconds or less (when using new batteries), Effective flash range: 0.3m - 2.7m. 

I have observed is that the photo quality in this new camera is much better than any other Instax camera I have used so far. The Instax website never tells the megapixels they put in their lens as compared to the other cameras in the market but I am sure these cameras are not even 5Megapixels. I have used 5MP Panasonic Hybrid camera FZ5 which used to take awesome images and all my London, Singapore and other images till 2013 are from that camera. 

The configuration is almost similar to a funkier mini11 camera so if you want to take on a retro look then buy mini40 else if you want to bring colours into your hands buy the mini11 which is a little cheaper than mini40. There are only 2 buttons on mini40 for ease of operation and point and shoot - one button is to click the picture and another one is to enable the lens and switch on the camera. A little push on the lens switches off the camera. It can be used by the kids also and I took to my son's school and gave a personal photograph to all his teachers using the same. They were really happy as they glued the same on the school walls instantly. 

Overall Instax Mini40 is something that is portable, makes heads turn by its retro looks, ease of operation, battery-powered, same Instax film used in other versions of the Instax series cameras, accessories to make it all fun with your family and friends. The retail price of Instax Mini40 is around R1399 at takealot retailer. I am sure there will be some Black Fridays sale coming up in this festive season. Also, don't forget to follow Instax as they have an annual sale where you can buy films and other accessories at the cheapest prices. 

Cheers!!!

The Incredible @SamsungSA Bespoke Refrigerator Challenge Is Here #MySamsungBespokeChallenge #BespokeFridge

Hi Friends, 

Passionate design enthusiasts are ready to rise to the enthralling challenge of transforming living paces

In a class of its own, the Samsung Bespoke Refrigerator range brings a kaleidoscope of colour, innovation, and unparalleled customisation to life. This November the exciting Samsung Bespoke Challenge will take this exceptional range into an exciting new competition. Featuring three influencers, three spaces and two weeks to create a one-of-kind living space, South Africans can look forward to experiencing an integrated living space design challenge like no other.

@naqiyah_mayat

The Samsung Bespoke Refrigerator Challenge kicks off on 11 November at the Design Quarter in Johannesburg, where an exhibition will be set up with well-known influencers, who will go on a unique design journey, creating kitchen/living spaces that reflect Samsung’s vision for customised and connected homes. This includes Naqiyah Mayat, Shelley Mokoena and Cassandra Twala, who will be joined by celebrated Interior Designer, Donald Nxumalo as a commentator keeping an eye on the influencers’ design progress.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the Samsung Bespoke Challenge as a mentor. I look forward to being a part of moving South African design talent forward, as well as the possibility of inspiring innovative thinking in the contestants, and those watching the challenge unfold,” says, Donald Nxumalo, Interior Designer.

@shelleymokoena

The influencers will need to complete the Bespoke Home Challenge:

• Design the kitchen/living space with the Bespoke Colours.
• The third week is all about the big reveal, where the spaces will be opened to the public to vote for their favourite space.

The challenge is inspired by a time when our homes have become multifunctional. Living rooms are now doubling as gyms, movie theatres, and versatile offices. From the way we use our rooms to the materials we use in our interior design, so many things have changed inside our homes. Samsung has a vision for a new kind of home – a Bespoke Home – in which appliances are beautifully designed, flexible to fit every lifestyle and seamlessly connected for maximum convenience. The recent launch of the Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator is a captivating example of this. What sets this refrigerator apart from every other appliance is that it has a customisable and interchangeable front panel design, modularity that allows you to choose and add the optimal storage configurations to suit your needs, and a sleek, modern look that fits seamlessly into any kitchen. This refrigerator will be one of the innovations the influencers can use to bring their vision to life.

@cassandratwala

“Design Quarter celebrates all aspects of design and craftsmanship. The Samsung Bespoke Challenge adds to our unconventional shopping experience, not available at any other mall in Joburg. This partnership is important to us, to remind Joburg of our design and lifestyle focused offering, ahead of extensive renovations and repositioning in 2022,” says, Wesley Scott, marketing Manager at Design Quarter.

The Samsung Bespoke Challenge, which includes Jo-Ann Strauss as MC can be viewed at Design Quarter and online. The winner will be announced virtually, and we’ll soon see who will walk away with Samsung Home products and partner prizes.

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Nov 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends, 

November 2020 was the time when I decided that I will have to make a future in South Africa where I got VISA rather than looking for a new destination where VISA is not available for me. I got myself working on getting the best rest before it all begins once again. I started searching for a new project in South Africa which I only got in Feb 2021. 

1. #TheLifesWay Youtube Channel Crossed 500 Subscribers #500subs @Youtube #SouthAfrica - November 2020 I was very busy on my Youtube Channel as I was planning content and putting it on my channel and sharing it with the world. I also got my first 500 subscribers during this time and still in the next year I am still at 831 subscribers so the growth has been really really slow. I have to push a lot of content which I have done as I crossed 200 videos to date and will continue to shoot more and more of them in Mystery Unboxings and Historical Tech playlists. 

2. KORAI - Artisans in Beauty Brings the Best Luxury Beauty Treatments #KoraiSA - Korai is one of the best SPA and Luxurious beauty treatment lounges and I can vouch for that. I did my pedicure for the first time ever with them and my feet and nails looked so great for the next 5-6 months or so. It's a must-visit centre for the ultra-modern millennials and anyone looking after their lifestyle perfectly well. 

3. @Vivomobile_SA Partners With @TurnUpMusicZA #vivoIconSeries #vivoX50PRO - Vivo Mobiles in South Africa launched their X50 Pro smartphone which is a camera smartphone with Gimbal stabilisation built into it. I took the same to Kruger National Park and was so happy with its performance. Some photographers took it to music artists and performers and created some great looks with colourful backgrounds clicking all the photos using this smartphone. Currently, Vivo has launched X70 Pro in the market but I have not got hold of the same so far. 

4. Introducing the Best Entry-level SmartPhone #HUAWEIPsmart2021 @HuaweiZA - Huawei launched their entry-level smartphone named P Smart 2021 with good camera features and great overall performance. Suddenly the value market segment started to look so awesome in terms of design and aesthetics of the smartphone that no one will be able to tell if this phone is just around R6000. 

Thanks to the rAge Expo online experience last year but for the first time I didn't win a single contest and got no goodies from the online edition of the rAge expo despite participating in all the contests. I think luck has a big role to play in this regard as sometimes you win in a single tweet and sometimes you never win despite promoting all your content. 

Cheers!!!
