Singtel Shop 313@Somerset takes the place of the previous Singtel flagship store which had been in Comcentre for 22 years.
The Concentre is slated for redevelopment, so it will be at least four years before the flagship store can return to the Concentre.
“We’ve reimagined the store for the younger demographic and growing community of digital natives –who can use the tools, products, and facilities on offer to express themselves creatively. For those making careers on social media, they can even build their brands or services here. When customers come to our store, it will not be just a shopping trip but an experience – a place where they can connect, collaborate and co-create,” said Anna Yip, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Singtel Singapore.
Singtel Shop 313@Somerset caters to younger millennials and Gen Zs with a CASETiFY shop and a TikTok Creator House.

The Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni boasts a powerful suction power of up to 8000Pa and a 6400mAh lithium battery.
Departing from the normal round shape of robot vacuums on the market, the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni has a square shape design with rounded corners, allowing the brush to reach further into corners (by 30mm) to clean better.
Other similarly-shaped robot vacuums on the market include the iRobot Roomba s9+ (with two square corners on one half and semi-circular shape on the other half) and the LG Hom-Bot.
Below the Ecovacs Deebot X2 Omni are two mop pads, one corner brush and the main roller brush. Photo taken at the launch of the new flagship robot vacuum mop in Singapore.
As with the flagship models of other robot vacuum brands, the docking station – called the OMNI station – auto-refills the water tank and auto-washes (with 55°C hot water) the mop cloths on the robot vacuum at intervals during cleaning.

Google Singapore had sent me both the Pixel 6 Pro and the Pixel 6 to try out prior to today’s launch, so I’ve been playing with both phones for a while now.
Both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro ship with Android 12 installed and come with 128GB storage.
Powered by Android 12, Google has given the new phones a new user interface (UI) they call “Material Me”, which provides themed UI skins and widgets that are supposed to be highly customised to your you needs.
The Google Pixel 6 Pro (S$1,299) is available in Stormy Black and Cloudy White with cases (S$49) in Stormy Sky, Soft Sage, Light Frost and Golden Glow.
The phones are powered by Google Tensor, the company’s first processor that’s basically a mobile system on a chip designed specifically around Google’s AI engine.

Huawei launched a series of new products, headlined by its folding clamshell smartphone – the P50 Pocket – a direct competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3.

- P50 Pocket
- Watch D
- Huawei Eyewear

Xiaomi 11T, together with the Xiaomi 11T Pro and a refreshed Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE, is the latest addition to the Xiaomi 11 family of flagship smartphones. Overall, you get a mid-range smartphone with flagship-level features at a reasonable price.
The Xiaomi 11T comes in 3 colors: Meteorite Gray, Moonlight White, and Celestial Blue.
The Xiaomi 11T & Xiaomi 11T Pro are the company’s first smartphones to do away with the Mi prefix and branding.
Both phones continue the product line’s focus on creators and content creation.
There are two configurations available for the Xiaomi 11T, both with 8GB RAM:
- 8GB + 256GB (S$649)
- 8GB + 128GB (S$629)
With only S$20 separating the two configurations, it’s a no-brainer to go for the version with 256GB storage.

The new Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are powered by the new Tensor chip and ships with Android 12.
