GadgetMatch in BLACKPINK’s area thanks to A Galaxy Event
Samsung gave attendees a wonderful treat!
People flipped when Samsung showcased the Galaxy A80 and its rotating camera at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand during A Galaxy Event. Then, the audience absolutely lost it when popular K-Pop girl group BLACKPINK showed up on stage to perform.
Our man on the ground, Rodneil, was pretty excited about the event. However, we’re not sure if he had his priorities straight.

BLACKPINK in your Galaxy
Folks around the Impact Arena were well aware that BLACKPINK was in the area. There were some BLACKPINK merch sellers stationed at a mall near the arena ready to dole out to Blinks that had cash to burn.
The event carried on as expected.
Alright! We’re now inside Impact Arena for the #GalaxyA #SamsungEvent
We’re expecting the Galaxy A70 and A80 today.
Also, in case you didn’t know, #BLACKPINK is in this area 👀#GadgetMatchLIVE pic.twitter.com/xyTCkqJ8xZ

Loving the Galaxy A80’s ultra wide angle! I like the color accuracy but I hope they tone down the distortion. Still, it’s a pretty phone that can take beautiful photos 😍

Then shrieks were heard all over the arena as soon as BLACKPINK hit the stage.

BLACKPINK’s members talked about their favorite Galaxy A phones after their performance but our guy on the ground was too busy taking photos to take notes. #priorities
On the sideline of the event, we spotted a BLACKPINK edition of the Galaxy A70. It’s only available in select countries, though. But maybe if you hound Samsung Mobile enough, they’ll bring it to your area too.
What did you think of the Galaxy A80’s rotating camera? Should Rodneil get a date with Jennie? (Yes.) Where else should Samsung bring the Galaxy A70 BLACKPINK Edition? Let us know through our social media channels!

‘Dewing Things Alone’ is the wallpaper for rainy season
Sometimes, you just gotta love the rain
![](https://149367133.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/gadgetmatch-wallpapers-angelikah-gustilo-dewing-things-alone-02.jpg)
Changing your wallpapers to suit the weather is perfectly valid behavior. If you’re in the mood to switch your wallpaper this rainy season, here’s one for you.
Angelikah Gustilo, the Philippine-based artist behind our well-loved Pride wallpapers, came up with yet another wallpaper to match your emotions.
Entitled “Dewing Things Alone”, this set of wallpapers evokes a feeling of comfort and being at home. It captures that serenity and peace you enjoy as the rain pours, living in the comfort of yourself and connecting on a mundane yet meaningful level.
To Gustilo, rainy days have always been a source of comfort as an only child. The rainy season gave her books which transported her to places, and hot drinks that made her warm and giddy — enough to ponder and look out of the windows and imagine what awaits when the storm is over.
These wallpapers are her own take on loving the rainy season, and she hopes there are people who can relate to her love for the rain.

GadgetMatch’s wallpaper ‘Fluid’ is a coming out story
GadgetMatch’s wallpaper for Pride Month embraces being queer
![](https://149367133.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/gadgetmatch-20210611-pride-wallpaper-angelikah-gustilo-fluid-02.jpg)
Happy Pride Month from the GadgetMatch team!
Continuing our celebration with the LGBTQ+ community, we have one more wallpaper to share.
Introducing Fluid, the artwork explores the concept of one’s sexuality — forever changing, forever molding, and forever discovering. The rainbow pattern is speckled with grain, suggesting noise as the obstacles in the journey to self-love and self-discovery.
On another note, the words “Let Me Be Perfectly Queer” are a nod to allowing yourself to embrace your authentic self without reservations. It’s choosing to let go of painful moments — and memories — that forced you to stay silent.
Fluid reminds us to allow ourselves to grow in the love we feel, even if it’s scary and different. The artwork is designed by Philippine-based artist, Angelikah Gustilo, who is also behind No Different, the wallpaper we released previously.
“In the last semester of my third year in University, I took a class by Alfred Marasigan and Hidde van der Wall titled Art of the Queer. The course allowed me to be less afraid of my own self-exploration journey, and I’m grateful to be able to showcase these simple pieces that are the gems of wisdom I took away from the class,” said Gustilo.
Download Fluid and set it as your wallpaper for your phone, tablet, or your laptop!

GadgetMatch’s wallpaper ‘No Different’ celebrates love and queer people
It’s all about embracing individuality
![](https://149367133.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/gadgetmatch-20210603-pride-wallpaper-angelikah-gustilo-geometry-02.jpg)
Happy Pride Month from the GadgetMatch team!
As part of celebrating love, freedom, and the LGBTQ+ community, we’ve asked an artist to create an artwork that depicts Pride.
Angelikah Gustilo, an artist based in the Philippines, came up with No Different. To Gustilo, No Different presents queer people as people — capable of loving despite the difference in orientation.
Through geometric shapes, Gustilo presented that being queer isn’t dictated by a certain look, or a certain manner you carry yourself. It’s being different; deviating from what the majority of society thinks is normal. The larger rectangle represents the space where everyone exists, regardless of their orientation.
Download No Different and set it as your wallpaper for your phone, tablet, or your laptop!
