Collectively known as the Q3 series, DTC’s newest dual SIM devices merges performance, swank and transportability. The series is spearheaded by DTC’s first octa core device, the GT21 Neptune, which mounts the lauded Mediatek M6592 processor – the first true octa core mobile processor released worldwide. The said processor lowers power consumption while maximizing speed and storage space, making multitasking and gaming speedier on the road.

“DTC has been a relatively quiet mobile device brand since our founding in 2011, especially when it came to mass marketing,” said General Manager Ferdinand Buensalida, Jr. “But as years passed, it also became obvious to us that to better the lives of Filipino mobile users, we need influencers who can help us articulate our goal. We have chosen to partner with five of the best Philippine athletes for their agility, creativity, dedication and charisma, all values that we share as a company.”

The all-star roster includes Rain
or Shine’s Ryan
Araña, Air 21’s Simon Atkins, Talk ‘N Text’s Rommel Niño “KG”
Canaleta, and multi-awarded PBA All-Star honorees Gary David from the Meralco Bolts and Willie
Miller from Redbull. The five were first introduced in a closed-door media event in May. This is the first time they are unveiled to the public.
