Stay at OPPO 5G hotel for $150
SWITCHING off while on holiday is a thing of the past, according to the tech gurus behind Australia’s smartest hotel.
Following the unveiling of the 5G network and OPPO’s Reno 5G smartphone, the Chinese smartphone giant has unveiled a ‘world first’ portable 5G-powered smart hotel.
Making its debut at Splendour in The Grass in Byron Bay, the hotel — complete with its own high-end gaming suite, smart mirror and voice-controlled Home Hub — is showcasing its use of real-world 5G applications to Aussies across the country.
Michael Tran, managing director at OPPO Australia, says 5G will revolutionise the way we use our smartphones and connected devices.
“Like any new technology, it’s about evolution”, he added. “We can expect to see more new applications utilising the power of AR, VR, AI, as well as a greater focus on mobile gaming to provide new, exciting innovations.”
The OPPO 5G Hotel has turned a 40sq m shipping container into a one-bedroom suite. At the centre of the smart hotel sits the OPPO Reno 5G smartphone, taking place as the control centre of the accommodation, powering everything from the lighting to entertainment.
Now based at the Gold Coast’s HOTA, the futuristic experience will remain there until the end of August, with further locations to be announced as it makes its way down the northern New South Wales coast towards Sydney. You can book a stay for $150 a night.
