SHENZHEN, China, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025 commenced in Boao, Hainan. As a strategic partner of the event for the fourth consecutive year and a new member of the Boao Forum for Asia Board of Directors, vivo showcased its cutting-edge innovations, including the Blue Technology Matrix (BlueImage, BlueLM, BlueOS, BlueChip, BlueVolt), vivo Vision (vivo MR headset), 6G advancements, and more. vivo's upcoming flagship imaging smartphone, the vivo X200 Ultra, was honored with the title of "Official Smartphone of Boao Forum for Asia".

During the "vivo Release Moment" session held on the afternoon of March 25th at the Boao Forum, Hu Baishan, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer at vivo, and President of the vivo Central Research Institute, delivered a keynote speech titled "Humanity in the Future of Technology by vivo". In his speech, Hu stated that the mobile phone industry is a microcosm of China's technological innovation, and vivo's development reflects the progress of this sector. Hu elaborated on the company's core business philosophies applied over the past three decades, highlighting three different dimensions: long-termism, humanistic thinking and focus on collaboration and mutual achievement. To date, vivo has been the number one domestic mobile phone brand in the Chinese market in terms of market share for four consecutive years, and serves over 500 million users in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide.

Hu Baishan stated that over the past few decades, the mobile phone industry has served as an "incubator" for new industries, transforming how we live and work. Today, advancements in AI and robotics represent the pinnacle of technological achievements in the digital and physical worlds, respectively. Yet, these two worlds remain relatively independent and have not yet been perfectly integrated. The mobile phone industry with its massive consumer base, the most forward-looking technological ecosystem, and diverse application scenarios, could help bridge these two worlds. Robotics could represent the future of the mobile phone industry, blending digital connectivity with physical capabilities. Importantly, this future will continue to emphasize people-oriented values and focus on user scenarios to create ultimate experiences.

In his speech, Hu revealed that vivo has officially established the vivo Robotics Lab. By leveraging vivo's decade of "BlueTech" experience in fields like AI large learning models and imaging, together with the real-time spatial computing capabilities accumulated through vivo Vision, vivo will focus on developing two core areas, the "brain" and "eyes" of robots. At the same time, vivo will focus on the consumer market, developing robotic products for personal and home use. vivo aims to bring technology out of the laboratory and into users' everyday lives. This way, it will focus on gradual breakthroughs and continuous innovation to address real-life scenarios and solve user pain points, iterating product development along the way. vivo Vision, unveiled for the first time at the Boao Forum, marks a significant milestone in vivo's exploration of mixed reality technology. Building on this momentum, the upcoming vivo X200 Ultra, slated for release next month, will also integrate vivo's latest advancements in imaging. Looking ahead, vivo envisions a world where robotics enhances everyday life and is committed to collaborating with industry partners to bring robots to households around the globe.

BALI, Indonesia, April 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- After more than 16 years of welcoming guests to the lush highlands of Ciumbuleuit, Padma Hotel Bandung has officially entered a period of temporary closure as part of a bold and forward-looking transformation. Padma Hotels, the parent brand behind this beloved property, shared their thoughts with us on what this next chapter truly means for the hotel, for the guests, and for hospitality in Indonesia.

"This is not merely a renovation, it is a reinvention," shared Nandang Suryana, Corporate Director of Operations at Padma Hotels. "Padma Hotel Bandung has long been more than a destination. It is a place where stories unfold—morning walks in the mist, family reunions by the pool, the kind of everyday moments that stay with you. Our aim is to preserve the soul of the hotel while evolving every touchpoint to meet the desires of tomorrow's travelers."

The transformation will encompass a comprehensive expansion of guest rooms and suites, the introduction of fresh culinary experiences, enhanced wellness and recreational offerings, and architectural refinements that reflect both contemporary design and a deep reverence for the natural surroundings. A core focus of the project will also be sustainability—ensuring that the beauty of Ciumbuleuit remains untouched and celebrated.

"This evolution is part of our broader commitment across Padma Hotels to deliver thoughtful luxury rooted in place, culture, and care," Nandang continued. "As one of our flagship properties, Padma Hotel Bandung will emerge not just with a new look, but with renewed purpose."

When asked about guest sentiment, Padma Hotels acknowledged the deep emotional ties many have with the Bandung property. "We know how much this hotel means to our guests. That is exactly why this transformation is so important. We're not stepping away, we're stepping up."

During the closure period, guests are encouraged to explore other Padma Hotels destinations across Indonesia. From the breezy beachfront lifestyle at Padma Resort Legian and the spiritual calm of Padma Resort Ubud, to the urban elegance of Padma Hotel Semarang and the industrial oasis of Resinda Hotel Karawang, the signature Padma experience remains accessible across diverse landscapes.

As for what awaits upon reopening? Padma Hotels promises more than new features. "We are creating a space that feels both familiar and surprising. A place where returning guests will feel seen, new guests will feel our signature hospitality, and the whole sensation of being home far away from home," Nandang concluded.
