This was revealed by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan onstage, leaving the audience spellbound. This was not the end of it! Seconds after the launch of the phone, an exclusive Community Experience Zone was launched in the Main event area – giving guests a hands-on experience of the phone! The zone was fabricated along the periphery of the event area, covered under a Kabuki during the main event flow. The whopping 330 feet wide experience zone was revealed with the drop of the Kabuki – making it the largest Kabuki reveal ever, to be seen in India!   The Community Experience Zone was segmented into two Phone Display areas, a Bluetooth Display area, Sound PODs, Gaming Zone and The Avenger Zone – each of which was conceptualized and designed to highlight the specific feature in consideration. 

The Phone Display area provided for a seamless crowd movement through the zone, giving adequate hands-on experience to every individual. The Bluetooth Zone had the wireless Bluetooth headsets on display, for guests to wear and experience the same. The design of the Bluetooth Display was inspired by sound waves and took a circular form, making it very distinct to its offering.

The design for the PODs had a futuristic touch to it, not only aiding to the sound experience but also reconfirming the exceptional technology that OnePlus 6 was sporting.  

The Avenger Zone showcased life-size limited edition figurines of the Avenger Infinity Wars series, which sent waves of excitement through the community.
