The 2,800 sq. ft. Samsung Experience Store revolutionises customers’ brand experience under one roof with immersive ‘retail destinations’ or ‘zones’. It features the full line-up of Samsung smartphones and tablets, displayed for customers to explore in-depth at the Smart Table product zone. Mobile devices, including the flagship Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, and Galaxy Note8, as well as a full line-up of wearables and accessories to personalise customers’ favourite Samsung devices are available at the store.
Another first in Sri Lanka, the Samsung Experience Store provides customers a truly immersive and cinematic virtual reality experience at its interactive Samsung Gear VR Zone with a VR chair operated by a hydraulics mechanism delivering lifelike experiences that mimic the movements shown in the Gear VR.
Park said the new Samsung Experience Store was benchmarked to deliver the brand’s globally renowned retail and technology experience, as well as a glimpse into Samsung’s innovative device convergence. “Samsung is excited to continue its growth trajectory at this level of innovative retail experience.
