Manila by night: The metro's evening charm through photos shot with a smartphone


While it is often soiled, a source of great pollution, and congested, there is still beauty in urban areas like Manila, especially during nighttime. That's when the metro comes to life and brings something that cannot be found in rural places. There's warmth in its bright lights. It's beats lure you to a fun adventure until dawn. Its cosmopolitan charm provides something for everyone to enjoy.

After more than a year of spending time indoors, many have certainly missed Manila's nightlife and all its grime and allure, things that we took for granted before but definitely meant to be remembered and captured.

Giving a glimpse of the nightlife that waits for us is OPPO Reno5 Series with its images capturing Manila by night. From the neon-lit towers to the silent streets, the brand's latest smartphone can preserve magnificent night time views in full definition. Check out some of the snapshots photographed using it.
