Globe boosts smartphone use in PH with affordable mobile browsing plans

6:28 AM

Vernon Joseph Go

Smartphone use in the Philippines is on a steady rise on the back of more low-priced internet-enabled mobile devices, giving more Filipinos access to internet surfing on their mobile phones.

According to a report from research firm GfK Philippines, the average price of smartphones in Philippines has dropped 23% from last year’s USD317 or roughly P13,000 to USD244 or a little over P10,000 this year. “Rising demand for smartphones is largely triggered by efforts of device manufacturers who are offering more affordable smartphones, as well as retailers who have started offering 0% interest programs of up to 24 months on top of other promos when selling smartphone devices,” noted Benny Villanueva, general manager of GfK Philippines.

Riding the growth of smartphone use in the Philippines, Globe Telecom launched Globe PowerSurf plans, which are mobile browsing plans that use megabytes or MBs, a unit that measures data in internet-related transactions. Mobile surfing activities such as sending e-mails, downloading an application, posting on social networking sites, uploading photos or streaming videos all require a certain amount of data. 1MB is equivalent to 1,024 kilobytes (KB).

For example, activities that do not include downloading of any image, video or sound such as Facebook posts and likes, tweets, and e-mail without attachments consume up to 100 KB. Web page views and photo uploads and downloads are within the 100 KB to 500 KB range, while YouTube video streaming, application, games and music downloads generate more than 1MB.

Through Globe PowerSurf MB, subscribers get bulk Megabytes (MB) of mobile data, consumable per KB. Using Globe PowerSurf MB plans, subscribers use their allotted MBs for mobile internet activities, where MBs are consumed based on actual data from a specific activity. This type of charging is better than default charging where subscribers are charged P5.00 for every 15 minutes of online time. Using MBs in mobile surfing does not look at the time spent online, but on the activity performed or site visited, making it more affordable to surf on the mobile phone, thus giving users the worry-free mobile surfing experience.

“Most Filipinos buy smartphones and miss out on a lot of its features by limiting its use to texting or calling. A lot of smartphone users tend to use data via WiFi only due to fear of high data charges. This is why Globe introduced their PowerSurf MB plans. PowerSurf MB is best for smartphone users who always want to be connected and online without having to worry about high data charges, since charging is not based on time spent online, but on what they do and the sites they go to when connected to mobile internet,” said Jenny Granada-Echevarria, Head of Globe Mobile Data Services.

“Now that smartphone prices have dropped, it is fitting to offer mobile internet plans that give more value for money. Through this lineup of data plans, we also hope to empower smartphone owners to maximize their phone and enjoy the full features of its apps, especially now that surfing on mobile has become easier on the pocket with Globe PowerSurf MB plans,” she added.

Prepaid subscribers can choose from the following affordable PowerSurf plans: 20MB for P15 valid for 1 day, 50MB for P30 also valid for 1 day, and 100MB for P50 valid for 3 days. Prepaid and Postpaid subscribers looking for plans with higher MB allocation and longer validity can avail of the following 30-day PowerSurf MB variants: 50MB for only P99, 300 MB for only P299, and 1GB for only P499.

To subscribe to a Globe PowerSurf MB plan, text Powersurf to 8888 or dial *143# for free. Learn more about Globe PowerSurf MB plans by visiting http://surf.globe.com.ph.

Globe readies for mobile data explosion

New 4G network to harness smartphone capabilities

Globe Telecom expects smartphone penetration and mobile browsing in the Philippines will continue to rise, fuelled by the growing availability and affordability of more smartphone models in the market, as well as the popularity of internet browsing and social networking among Filipinos.

A report by research firm GfK Asia showed that the Philippines posted the highest growth for the region’s smartphone market, making-up nearly 30% of all mobile phones purchased in the Philippines in the first quarter of 2012. Smartphone volume growth in the country expanded by 203% during the previous quarter, triple the original figure during the same period in 2011.

Smartphone usage in the country has been on the uptrend, buoyed by the introduction of entry level smartphone models by device manufacturers as well as China-made OEM (original equipment manufacturer) brands at retail prices that are already at or even below the USD100 price point, the same level several years ago when the country’s mobile penetration significantly increased.

For Globe alone, about 19% of its subscriber base own smartphones, or almost 6 million as of end-2011. Globe also cited that the growing preference for smartphones will increase the use of mobile internet within the next three years driven by the availability of data plans ranging from prepaid daily variants to unlimited postpaid plans. Social networking, the use of mobile applications (apps), and mainstream adoption of e-mail have also been significantly contributing to the growth of mobile internet in the country.

“There is great opportunity in the market today as the current set-up of telco networks in the Philippines is not yet ideal for smartphones. Smartphones hinge their performance on the network infrastructure it runs on. We want to give our customers the best network that enriches their mobile internet experience so network quality is important. You may have the widest coverage, but consumers today need a network with the capacity and resiliency to handle growing demand for mobile data use,” said Cu.

Globe is fast-tracking the roll-out of its network modernization program which carries the 4G HSPA+ and LTE-ready network, compatible with many of the smartphones and other mobile devices set to launch in the Philippine market. The re-planning of the network is engineered to maximize the capacity and capabilities of smartphones to deliver unparalleled user experience, from seamless streaming of high-definition videos to receiving real time e-mail on their devices, on top of the essential mobile services such as instantaneous SMS transmissions and exceptional quality of calls.

Globe has already doubled its activated sites for HSPA+ from last year. More key activations will be done in the coming months, not only in NCR but also in North Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Globe is also geared to deploy LTE this year.

Sony Ericsson’s Christmas in 3D promo showcases new 3D camera technology! Sony Ericsson has introduced 3D Sweep Panorama camera technology in its new line of Xperia™ Android handsets. The recently launched Xperia™ ray and Xperia™ active are the first handsets in the Philippines featuring 3D Sweep Panorama technology from Sony Cyber-shot™. These Xperia handsets and more are the highlights of Sony Ericsson’s Christmas in 3D promo.

The technology allows users to take multi-angle images to enjoy 3D-like pictures on these Xperia™ smartphones. Unlike other 3D still cameras that need two lenses, 3D Sweep Panorama technology achieves the same effect with a single lens. The fully three-dimensional, panoramic image can also be enjoyed on a compatible 3D TV.

To best experience Sony Cyber-shot™ 3D camera technology, Sony Ericsson has launched the Christmas in 3D promo. Buyers of Sony Ericsson handsets from concept shops and participating dealers from now until December 31, 2011 will have a chance to win over P1 million worth of prizes in three Sony 3D showcases.

Buyers get a number of raffle tickets depending on their purchased handset model. Purchase of the Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo V, Xperia™ pro and Xperia™ arc S entitles the buyer to as much as three raffle tickets.

Each Sony 3D showcase to be won includes a Sony Playstation™ 3, 1.2-m Full HD 3D Sony Bravia LCD TV, four Sony 3D glasses, P25,000 worth of Sony 3D Blu-Ray and Sony Playstation™ titles and a Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc smartphone.

3D Sweep Panorama will also be available in current Xperia™ handset models such as Xperia mini, Xperia ™ mini pro and the Xperia arc via a software upgrade and in upcoming models such as Xperia ™ neo V, Xperia™ pro and Xperia™ arc S.

“We believe in bringing the most entertaining user experience to consumers and this 3D camera technology offered on the new Xperia™ smartphones is a wonderfully entertaining feature. Capturing panoramic 3D images this holiday season will be a new way of making things more memorable for our consumers,” said Dennis Manzano, Sony Ericsson General Manager.

Other award-winning Sony technologies featured in Xperia™ smartphones are the Sony Mobile BRAVIA® Engine and Sony Exmor-R™ sensor for mobile. The Mobile BRAVIA® Engine brings infinitely sharper, more vivid pictures to the phone’s display, similar to Sony’s world-class BRAVIA™ line. The Exmor-R™ sensor, featured in Sony Cyber-shots and Handycams, lets users shoot bright stills and videos even in low-light conditions.

For better audio, the new line of Xperia™ smartphones offer Sony’s xLOUD audio technology which enhances and improves volume in the loudspeaker during playback.

For consumers to experience more, Sony Ericsson has also launched its 3D Expo in SM Cyberzones. Visitors are treated to Xperia™ product demonstrations, mobile games, the 3D imaging and viewing experience and the sound technology of Sony xLOUD audio. The Sony Ericsson 3D Expo will be held in SM Cebu Cyberzone on November 11-13, before moving to other SM Cyberzones across the country.
