The nomadic life of travel bloggers requires them to have multi-purpose, durable and portable devices that would help them document and share their pursuits to the public but won’t drag them as they go from one place to another.
While smartphones address portability and mobility, they are usually not powerful enough to support a travel blogger’s content creation needs. While tablets, on the other hand, are packed with great features, they occupy a lot more space in the backpack.
Travel blogger Trisha Velarmino of “P.S. I’m On My Way” knows these pains all too well. Reason why she’s thankful there’s a mobile device that solves the challenges of living a jet-setting lifestyle.
Lenovo PHAB Plus, which doubles as a smartphone and a tablet, solves Velarmino’s dilemma of having to carry different gadgets while in transit. She no longer has to bring her bulky laptop along, as the phablet fulfills her speed and productivity requirements in a snap.
Equipped with an octa-core Qualcomm processor, the Lenovo PHAB Plus allows her to create and edit blog posts easily on the go. The phablet’s big screen makes it easy for the travel blogger to review blog entries, answer e-mails, and browse the Internet to learn more about tourist attractions she’d like to visit. It’s also smaller than the average tablet, which make it easy to fit into Velarmino’s hand carry luggage.
Thanks to its 3500mAh battery, Velarmino can enjoy a standby time of up to 20 days and a talk time of up to 24 hours. This means she won’t have to worry about her gadget “dying” on her as with the case of her smartphones whenever she needs to post an important social media update or take a selfie during her travels.
Speaking of selfies, Velarmino uses the Lenovo PHAB Plus’ 13MP rear camera along with its 5MP front camera, which feature a Panorama Selfie function along with dual-LED flash, to make her travel photos look as natural as possible. In fact, she used the phablet’s camera to capture images during her recent press trip to Indonesia.
At 0.49 lbs., the svelte phablet is a joy to carry for Velarmino, who is a fan of packing light. Featuring a brilliant 6.8” full HD screen, the Lenovo PHAB Plus also doubles as her mobile entertainment hub as she streams movies from Netflix during long train journeys and bus rides. Its 4G LTE fast connectivity allows her to stay connected to her readers when she travels from country to country, while the phablet’s dual-sim functionality make it convenient for Velarmino to communicate with people back home.
