November 11, 2011 was a special day mainly due to the rare 3 number combination: 11-11-11. However, there’s one more thing that made that day cool. You know what it is? Well, when I got an invite via email saying that Smart, HTC and Beats will introduce new HTC smartphones in Republiq club, Resorts World, I already knew then that it would be an awesome and uber duper fun party. Smart has been known to throw crazy fun parties. So this time around, I wouldn’t wanna miss it!
Republiq was booked from 6-10PM exclusively for the Smart-HTC event. Boy, I was really excited! I wanted to know more about the new HTC smartphones because I heard that they are part of a new line to feature Beats Audio technology to deliver studio quality audio. That explains why the launch was held at the most popular party place in the Metro today.
Before the event started, we took a look at the gallery where they featured Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. I was drooling but I knew I won’t be able to purchase one for myself as the price range is between Php10,000 to Php 30,000. I can’t afford them at the moment. However, I’m sure that some of you who are willing to shell out money to get the best audio quality would not hesitate to get a pair. They certainly looked awesome! I wish I was able to try them out though.
While waiting for the big reveal of the new HTC smartphones, we posed for the camera. Barely Toast was the official photographer for the event. I knew the company takes awesome pictures so we had Barely Toast take our pictures. I loved the pictures! <3
Smart and HTC started the show by introducing their companies and explaining how they entered into the partnership. They also showed some videos of the Black Eyed Peas and what we can expect with the Beats Audio technology.
They didn’t just simply unveil the new HTC smartphones. They did it with style! Smart and HTC invited DJs and dancers to visually show us what to expect with the new HTC Sensation XE and HTC Sensation XL. Both HTC smartphones will feature the Beats Audio Technology.
Let me share the information that Smart and HTC gave to us about the new HTC smartphones during the launch. Enjoy and start planning your expenses as you might want to get a handset for yourself. Do note that the phones are available in the Philippines through Smart Communications Wireless Centers and through HTC authorized retailers.
