WE did it. We recorded our first Facebook Live session for the site, which is somewhat weird considering we’ve done a whole bunch of other sessions for other websites and brands. And for our first episode, we turn to the Xiaomi Mi 6, the OPPO F3, and the Vivo V5s, with emphasis on the first smartphone.
We even talked a bit about the (very real) possibility of Xiaomi officially making a return to the Philippines and answered the rumors surrounding it (jump to 2:10). We also went through the process of installing the international version of the MIUI software onto any Xiaomi device running the Chinese software (9:55).
To close the session, we compared two of the most popular selfie-centric smartphone on the local market today (35:00) and decided on a winner. Overall, it’s a pretty packed episode, so make sure to tune in by clicking on the video below.

Now REVU's Reviews Editor, Monch balances his obsession with specs with a "quality over quantity" mindset, usually fueled by coffee, photography, videography, video games, basketball, and the occasional deadline chase.
