These stores are state-of-the art experience zone for Android devices, services and accessories. The concept for the design of the stores is provided by Google. But Google has not shared any revenue with Spice Mobility for opening these stores. Earlier, it was reported in the media that Google and Spice will be jointly opening these stores.

The new AndroidLand store is different from other flagships stores of leading companies for five reasons:

Fun and open design – Under one roof, the customers will find all the latest Android devices of leading Intrnational and domestic brands. The store is designed in such a way that inspires customers to discover the fun world of Android. Customers are encouraged to interact with the displays and devices and to take photographs with the Android robots.

Android choice showcase – A wide variety of live Android smartphones and tablets are available that customers can play with along with a selection of accessories.

Google Play Zone – An exclusive area showcasing the most popular apps and games from Google Play. Customers can choose to search and download multiple applications from Google Play on the spot.

Free Wi-Fi – Free Wi-Fi in store for visitors to browse the Internet from the live units.

Mr. Dilip Modi, Group CEO, Spice Global, informed us that they have plan to open 50 stores across India in one year. When we posed a question whether these new exclusive AndroidLand store will give competition to their existing Spice Mobile store, he informed us that they have also plan to introduce AndroidLand experience in mini format in their existing stores and gradually, they may convert all of their existing stores to AndroidLand format of stores depending upon the success of new format of stores.

The AndroidLand store opened today in Noida attracted lot of media attention, and we were there to cover the event.
