OPPO’s brand new Flagship Store opened its doors in Shanghai with an innovative “humanistic design concept”. The store aims to create a space that’s “fun, friendly and relaxed” for customers to explore, and symbolizes the elevation of the brand to a new level.

Alen, Vice President of OPPO, said: “Retail stores, especially the flagship stores, are the main channel for us to communicate with customers. This Flagship Store expresses our latest ideas on upgrading our retail store experience and elevating our brand. We have chosen our Shanghai Flagship Store as a breakthrough for a better customer experience. ”

Creating a free, friendly and fun space based on a “humanistic design concept”

Design is one of the core talents of OPPO, helping it to create a series of high-quality products beloved by customers. Its new Flagship Store extends its “emphasis on design” from products to retail stores.

Challenging the traditional technology industry focus on sales, this new Flagship Store aims to offer what customers truly need, while being a fun and relaxing space for exploration. This shows the “humanistic design concept” OPPO emphasizes – being people-oriented and experience first.

Except for the product display area, 60% of the space is for customers to explore and mingle with friends. The “big stones” randomly placed in-store are particularly attractive resting areas. Customers can communicate with others; take photos and experience products around them casually, free from restraint and boundaries. Six light-emitting bars provide gentle light from all angles, allowing for clear and natural photos while a mirrored ceiling brings amazing light effect that creates a dreamy yet real space. These seemingly casual designs bring customers into a place where they can enjoy themselves.

To create a “friendly” atmosphere between the brand and customers, the OPPO brand and color intersperse with other designs, avoiding an oppressive feeling. Customized tables and benches provide room for friends to experience products and engage in intimate communication.

OPPO’s new flagship store makes a bold attempt in breaking from an overtly “technological feeling” and offers a place where one can have fun. For example, a giant 8m whale “swims” in the store. This mysterious yet powerful piece of art combines OPPO’s ideas with young people’s imagination.

“Humanistic design concept” is also integrated into the daily operation of the store. Focusing on “experience first”, the staff in the store only provide solutions and services when customers need them, reducing the “purchase pressure”. The store regularly holds workshops about products and photography to better talk to and listen to customer thoughts. It also provides a wide range of peripheral and third-party products for customers, to create a one-stop digital life experience.

Sebuah lagi kumpulan muncul untuk mewarnai industri seni tempatan. Kumpulan baru yang dianggotai anak-anak muda ini bergelar U9. Kumpulan U9 ditubuhkan pada pertengahan tahun 2017. Ia di anggotai oleh Hairul sebagai vokalis , Naqib sebagai pemain bass, Syed Ahmad sebagai pemain gitar utama , Dann sebagai pemain gitar ke 2 dan Aiman sebagai pemain dram.

Menurut Hairul selaku vokalis , Bukan Milikku merupakan sebuah lagu yang cukup sinonim dengan jiwa remaja . Tidak hanya itu, single ini boleh diterjemahkan sebagai 100 peratus berkait ruang lingkup kehidupan personal dan karier seninya. Selain itu apa yang lebih menarik kumpulan ini merupakan pelajar di sekolah Seni Malaysia Kuala Lumpur serta aktif dengan acara seni yang lain seperti lakonan dan teater. Lagu ini telah diterima baik dengan tontonan di laman Youtube hampir 116,000 sejak dilancarkan hampir 3 minggu.

Menurut Hairul lagi, cabaran mereka di usia yang muda sekitar 11-15 tahun ialah mereka datang dari negeri berbeza dan selalu berjauhan menjadikan agak sukar bagi mereka untuk mengimbangi masa atas faktor lokasi,pelajaran dan karier dalam muzik. Mereka berharap pergorbanan mereka dapat memberi impak yang positif serta diterima oleh pendengar muzik tanah air,

“Kami memilih lagu ini sebagai lagu pertama kami kerana kebanyakan orang mengalami kisah cinta yang rumit. Tidak semua orang akn mendapat balasan cinta dari gadis yang dicintai mereka. Ia adalah sebuah lagu yg sedih tentang seorang lelaki yang tidak dibalas cintanya tetapi dia memilih untuk meyimpan perasaan untuk gadis tersebut dari jauh sahaja. Ia juga menjelaskan bahawa cinta adalah bukan untuk dimiliki tetapi untuk dihargai,” jelas Hairul lagi.

“Kelainan single ini jika dibandingkan dengan lagu-lagu masa kini ialah keindahan melodi melakolik dan digarap liriknya yang matang. Tidak hanya itu, saya turut menekankan aspek vokal secara total. Begitupun, kalau didengari semula, susunan muzik untuk lagu ini lebih moden dan bercitarasa alaf ini ,” kata Hairul yang cukup ternantikan penggambaran video muzik yang akan dibuat dalam waktu terdekat ini.

Menyambung bicara, pembikinan dan proses di belakang tabir untuk single ini memakan masa selama dua bulan sebelum ia siap sepenuhnya.

“Sejujurnya, komposer lagu ini merupakan seorang individu yang kreatif dan memiliki citarasa tinggi dalam setiap naskhah dihasilkan olehnya. Lebih menarik, dia sanggup bereksperimen sehingga mengeluarkan aneka versi demo Bukan Milikikku sebelum saya membuat keputusan untuk memilih yang terbaik.”

“Harapan saya agar single ini bakal meraih tumpuan peminat sekali gus dapat memberi sokongan terhadap sumbangan kecil hasil seni saya bersama komposer ini. Tidak ketinggalan, saya sentiasa berambisi tinggi untuk terus menghadirkan lagu-lagu berkonsep unik bagi lebih mewarnai kanvas bidang hiburan tempatan.”

Samsung Malaysia Electronics has announced that Bixby’s voice capabilities are now available in Mandarin Chinese. This gives existing Malaysian users of the Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note8 devices an additional option to experience Samsung’s intelligent interface in their own comfortable language.

KM Liew, Head of Samsung Malaysia Electronics’ IT & Mobile division, said that Samsung’s move to introduce the new language within Bixby is due to strong interests from the large Mandarin Chinese-speaking community in Malaysia.

“We at Samsung believe this is a significant step forward in allowing our consumers do and achieve things in a more comfortable and convenient way, as Mandarin is the mother tongue and first language of many Malaysians. We are confident that now, many more users of these devices will be able to fully experience Bixby as it was meant to be experienced,” said Mr Liew.

Prior to this, other language options that were supported by Bixby were US English and Korean. The introduction of Bixby in Mandarin Chinese will allow Malaysian consumers more flexibility, contextual awareness and cognitive tolerance in interacting with their Samsung devices for a superior and seamless experience. For example, users can say “dă kāi xiàng jī (打开相机)” and Bixby will do the honours of opening up the camera app.

With the introduction of its new language capability, Mandarin Chinese will now be integrated into Bixby Home, Reminder and Vision, as well as selected native apps by Samsung, Bixby Lab and other third parties. Via Mandarin Chinese, existing Malaysian users will be able to smoothly switch from voice command, to touch, to text, and back to voice in their own comfortable language.

As Samsung is constantly looking to meet industry demands, Bixby will be continually improved with updates and added features, according to consolidated feedback from the Samsung consumer community. Not only that, its natural language-understanding ability allows Bixby to continuously improve its interpretations of regional dialects, giving users the option to interact with Bixby in even more Chinese dialects in time.

Bixby’s availability on the Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note8 is just the beginning. As the Bixby ecosystem grows, it will connect across devices, apps and services as an intelligent interface, and open up new experiences and scenarios to ensure convenience.

The Projector and Laneway Festival Singapore present On The Road, a Michael Winterbottom rockumentary on indie rock band Wolf Alice as it promotes its debut studio album, My Love Is Cool, for the last time on a frenetic 16-date UK and Ireland tour.

Winterbottom blurs fact and fiction in his signature auteur style: Two invented crew members, Estelle and Joe start talking…and a spark kindles. They and the romance that ensues serve as conduits to convey life on tour. The part-music documentary, part-love story is an endearingly honest attestation to the realities of an indie band on the promotional route in this age stripped of 1990s music excesses.

Viewers will get information about the tour, the recording of the live shows, life backstage, the band’s interaction with the media. They should not expect matching leather anything or scenes of hedonistic living. Hummus and Doritos, however, do appear occasionally in this carefully-crafted, rich gem.

For one night only, On The Road will be screened exclusively:

The Projector
8.30pm, 11 January 2018

The Laneway Party will follow at The Intermission Bar.
