Where aesthetics and function meet

-

MANILA, Philippines - In less than 20 years, the cell phone has gone from being a rare, expensive tool of the business elite, to the ubiquitous essential for people of all ages. Today, owning and using a mobile has become a part of social culture, with new models and styles being launched left and right.

But perhaps due to the variety of phones now available, shopping for one has suddenly grown more complicated. Options have certainly paved the way for prices to become lower, although usually at the expense of must-have features that users want. High-end mobile phones on the other hand, carry both sleek aesthetics and a comprehensive slew of additional features but have price-points that turn away even the most savvy technophiles. Plus, it’s been a while since the mobile phone was just used as just a phone — these days, a single unit can serve as a communication tool for calling and texting, a camera, a digital music player and a portable storage device, among other things.

In short, while it’s a great time to choose the perfect phone to fit your lifestyle, it’s also tough to actually pick one out — and this is where Verzio, a pioneering Singapore-based brand comes in to help.

At a time when the tech-savvy are compelled to not only have the top mobile features in the palm of their hand but to carry two cell phones at any given time as well, Verzio’s collection of dual-SIM capable phones present exceptional value. The brand was the first to introduce the world to the first 3G dual-SIM mobile, Duplii — and coming on the heels of its success, Verzio is now launching a new generation of mobility and convenience with the Duplii Exec. Not all dual-SIM mobiles have the dual-connection capability; this unprecedented feature exclusive to this particular model means the Duplii Exec is powered by two separate branded processors — Qualcomm and NXP. And with its simultaneous dual-connecting, dual-active and dual-standby feature, users are now accessible via two separate network numbers while only using a single, mobile device.

In essence, the Duplii Exec functions like two separate cell phones within one unit, allowing you to conduct calls or send text messages on one line, while the other works as your Internet connection simultaneously — a feature that underscores mobility for users. Complementary to this are a comprehensive collection of phone features which include 3G capability, dual tri-band frequency, front and rear cameras, video calling function, PC synchronization, Bluetooth and USB data transfers, internal wireless modem capability, video recording and player, music player, FM radio feature and additional T-Flash extended memory slot, all encased within a sleek black compact casing that can easily slide into your back pocket.

For a slimmer, dual-SIM mobile phone option, here’s your first look at the Skii. Combining a multi-touch panel, handwriting recognition, drag and drop touchscreen capability, built-in 2GB and T-Flash memory, the Skii offers an impressive roster of phone features conveniently housed within a 1cm thin casing, making it probably the slimmest dual-SIM phone in the market today. True to Verzio’s trademarked multi-tasking mobile capabilities, its dual-SIM feature also allows the Skii to operate two separate networks for optimum connectivity and mobile ease with the added built-in convenience of an anti-theft mobile tracker functionality.
