Samsung has opened the world’s largest mobile experience centre at Opera House on Brigade Road in Bengaluru, India. The Opera House, which has been renovated and restored, will bring together technology, lifestyle, and innovation to offer unique experiences to people.

The experience centre of Samsung, named Samsung Opera House, will showcase various products and provide product experiences, built around Samsung’s philosophy of Discover Tomorrow Today. It also includes transformative technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Commenting on this development, H.C. Hong, President and CEO, Samsung SouthWest Asia, said:

Noida got the world’s largest mobile factory and now Bengaluru has got the world’s largest mobile experience centre. Samsung has taken a leap from ‘make in India to make for India’ and now ‘make for the world’. We have curated never seen before experiences that will excite people of all age groups alike.

It houses the entire range of Samsung electronics, from smartphones, tablets, televisions, audio equipment, and consumer electronics. A VR zone lets consumer experience the Galaxy VR devices which enables users to experience 4D Sway Chair or the Whiplash Pulsar 4D chair that makes 360 degrees three-dimensional movements.

There’s a home theater zone that lets customers watch movies, provided they book a slot ahead of time. There’ll also be a 24-feet wall that features all the mobile accessories, including cases, covers and power banks.

The company will also showcase QLED TV, Smart TVs, The Frame, and Family Hub Refrigerators. The Home Appliance zone will have a kitchen set up where a chef will provide live cooking demonstrations using Samsung smart ovens.

Samsung Opera House is aiming to become the innovations, lifestyle, entertainment and culture hub of Bengaluru with events being organized around fitness, photography, gaming, music, movies, food, stand-up comedy, technology and startups at the sprawling plaza area, round the year.

Along with this world’s largest mobile experience centre, the South Korean giant has also opened the world’s largest mobile factory in India earlier this year, located in Noida. The company currently has two manufacturing facilities, five R&D centres and one design centre in India.

Huami’s new smartwatch details, retail box and pricing leaked; Can detect heart-related problems

It is just five days and some hours before Xiaomi’s Mi Band maker, Huami launch event which is scheduled for September 17. It has now been confirmed that the product the company will launch is a smartwatch. Since the launch of the wearable device will coincide with Huami’s third anniversary we expect it to be a flagship product. The rumour mills have been kept buzzing today as some interesting details of the smartwatch have emerged. The retail box, price tag in China and a sketch of the watch also joins in leaking out.

Huami’s founder and CEO, Huang Wang is the source of the details about the device. In a Weibo post published today, the CEO disclosed that the company’s R&D team has made striking breakthroughs in 24-hour real-time monitoring of cardiac health problems such as Arrhythmia, including Atrial Fibrillation. This is achieved through AI technology and new high-precision optical sensors developed independently. Huang also hinted that Apple was going to likely announce the same feature on the Apple Watch during its launch event tonight. That perhaps explains why the feature wasn’t kept as a surprise until the launch of the product. The company would not want to be accused of copying Apple.

Further, the retail box of the smartwatch also appeared online alongside its pricing. The device comes with an all-white packaging box that has the company’s logo at the top. The name Amazfit X is also inscribed but we can’t make out the Chinese texts at the end. It is possible the device will be called Amazfit X. The leak also suggests it would come with a 1,599 yuan (~$232) price tag. At this price, we expect nothing less than a well-studded, sleek smartwatch.

Also spotted online is a ketch said to be of the Amazfit smartwatch. The sketch points to a round watch face and the absence of buttons at the side. There is just a button which may be the power button just like on the sleek Amazfit Pace. On the watch face if one of the sketches, is the microphone icon. This could mean the device would come with a built-in microphone and perhaps speaker. With such features, we could be looking at smartwatch with GSM or even LTE features among others. We expect the smartwatch to pack several other features found on high-end smartwatches.

The OnePlus 6T smartphone is coming and rumors surrounding it claim that it will be sporting a design that is very similar to the OPPO R17. Today, GizmoChina brings to you exclusive images of the black colored TPU case for the upcoming OnePlus 6T. The appearance of the case serves as another proof that the OP6T will borrow its design from the OPPO R17.

The OPPO R17 and R17 Pro smartphones were unveiled in the previous month. Both the handsets are equipped with in-screen fingerprint reader. The R17 features a vertical dual camera setup whereas the R17 is fitted with a vertical triple lens setup which includes dual cameras and a 3D TOF stereo camera for AR. The black TPU case of the OnePlus 6T shows that the rear design of the phone is quite similar to OPPO R17. The cutout for the rear camera does not seem to be big enough to accommodate to the triple lens system available on the OPPO R17 Pro. Below the cutout for the vertical dual camera setup, there is a pill-shaped cutout for the LED flash.

The right side of the case shows that the OnePlus 6T features cutouts for Alert Slider and power key. The volume rocker will stay on the left side of the OP6T. The bottom side of the case shows that it features cutouts for 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port and external speaker.

Leaked images of the retail box of the OnePlus 6T that had surfaced around a week ago shows that it will be arriving with the new waterdrop style notch. It is speculated that the OP6T could be the first phone from the company to arrive with an in-screen fingerprint scanner. There is no news available on the internals of the phone. It is likely to borrow most of its specs from the OnePlus 6 smartphone. Hence, it is rumored to arrive with AMOLED display, Snapdragon 845, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The Chinese manufacturer is also likely to debut the Bullet Wireless V2 alongside the OnePlus 6T as it recently received approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. Just as the OnePlus 5T was made official in November, the OnePlus 6T may arrive in the same month this year.
