Pia Wurtzbach, the renowned fashion icon and philanthropist, and TECNO Mobile’s newest brand ambassador, shares her insights on adaptability and embracing change in an exclusive interview with Vogue Philippines. Her journey mirrors the seamless functionality of TECNO’s latest foldable smartphones, the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G and V Fold2 5G. Wurtzbach’s life, filled with international travel for fashion weeks, brand collaborations, and philanthropic work, has taught her the importance of adaptability and intentionality, both in packing her suitcase and navigating life’s twists and turns. The “folding” and “flipping” of her life experiences directly reflect the design and capabilities of TECNO’s new devices, which smoothly adapt to different settings and purposes. Her 2015 Miss Universe win serves as a pivotal “flip” moment, shifting her focus from personal achievements to advocacy work, including initiatives focusing on HIV awareness and mental health. This transformation parallels the versatility of the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G, featuring a 6.9-inch AMOLED main screen and a 3.64-inch cover display, along with impressive specs like the MTK D8020 processor, 16GB RAM (expandable to 24GB), and 256GB storage. The phone’s advanced camera features, including a 50MP main camera, 32MP front camera with eye-tracking autofocus, and RAW HDR algorithms, perfectly cater to her lifestyle where she is constantly producing content. The ability to seamlessly transition between various roles reflects Wurtzbach’s multifaceted career, from modeling to content creation and philanthropy. The move from Manila to New York after her Miss Universe victory represents a metaphorical “folding” experience, symbolizing letting go of past versions of herself to embrace new chapters. This echoes the functionality of the TECNO PHANTOM V Fold2 5G, which combines a 7.85-inch AMOLED main display with a 6.42-inch sub-screen for versatile productivity and entertainment. The device boasts impressive features like the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ processor, a 5-lens camera system with a 50MP main camera, and a 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging. The interview highlights the connection between Wurtzbach’s journey and TECNO’s commitment to creating devices that seamlessly integrate into users’ dynamic lives. Wurtzbach’s perspective emphasizes the transformative potential of embracing change and actively shaping one’s life, much like the adaptability offered by TECNO’s innovative foldable phones. The PHANTOM V Flip2 5G is available in Travertine Green and Moondust Grey. For more details, visit TECNO’s website and follow them on Instagram.
