Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Hisense used IFA 2026 to unveil V AIOS, a new operating system designed to link televisions, mobile devices and home appliances into a single AI-driven ecosystem, while also confirming it will remain an official partner of the UEFA European Championship through 2028.

V AIOS turns household devices into an AI ecosystem

V AIOS builds on Hisense's existing VIDAA OS and ConnectLife platforms, aiming to connect TVs, phones and appliances so they respond to household habits rather than requiring manual control. The system uses edge AI to process data locally, with Hisense emphasizing privacy and transparency in how it handles user information.

Paired with a new AI Companion Suite, the platform can suggest recipes based on ingredients on hand and automatically select matching oven settings, adjust laundry programs for different fabric types, or regulate room climate according to individual preferences.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Hypershell unveiled Halo, its flagship full-leg exoskeleton, at IFA 2026, marking the first consumer exoskeleton to coordinate four motorized hip and knee joints as a single system. The first 200 units, sold as the Origin Edition with a unique serial number, are available for pre-order starting at 2,299 EUR, with sales and phased deliveries beginning in November across the United States, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom and China.

The frame moves with the body instead of against it. A continuous carbon-fiber structure runs from hip to lower leg, letting the four motorized joints share propulsion, weight support, descent control and landing cushioning. An adaptive Fish-Spine joint lets the hip motor track natural hip movement rather than a fixed axis, giving Halo up to 198 degrees of lateral range and 167 degrees of front-to-back motion.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Hypershell has launched Halo, a leg exoskeleton priced from 2,299 EUR, at IFA 2026, targeting hikers and outdoor users who need powered support across mixed terrain.

Four motors work as one coordinated system

Halo is built on what Hypershell calls its Unified Architecture, a continuous carbon-fiber frame running from hip to lower leg that links four motorized hip and knee joints into a single system. CEO Kelvin Sun said the company redesigned the entire lower-body power system rather than simply adding motorized knees to an existing hip exoskeleton.

The HyperDrive Pro motor system delivers up to 1,490W of peak power across the leg. Each knee power unit weighs only 170 grams, using a magnesium-alloy housing to keep total weight down.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- TCL introduced the TAB A1 tablet series at IFA 2026, offering four models split across two screen sizes and two viewing experiences for shoppers who read, stream, study or work on the go.

Four models split by size and screen type

The lineup includes the TCL TAB A1, TCL TAB A1 NXTPAPER, TCL TAB A1 Plus and TCL TAB A1 Plus NXTPAPER. TCL structured the range around two choices: screen size and display technology.

The 11-inch models are built for portability, with a 6.2mm thin design, 2.1K resolution and refresh rates up to 90Hz. The larger 12.2-inch Plus models step up to 2.4K resolution, a 3:2 aspect ratio and refresh rates up to 120Hz, giving users more room for movies, documents and split-screen multitasking.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Hisense unveiled its "Companion Living" concept at IFA 2026, introducing an AI system called V AIOS that aims to coordinate kitchen, laundry and climate appliances automatically for users.

V AIOS builds on four core AI capabilities

V AIOS, the next evolution of Hisense's VIDAA OS, is structured around four functions: Sense, Think, Communicate and Execute. The system is designed to detect people, devices and surroundings, interpret context and intent, communicate across devices, and coordinate actions on the user's behalf.

The AI Companion Suite targets three daily routines

Built on top of V AIOS, the AI Companion Suite focuses on Cooking, Laundry, and Air & Energy. In the kitchen, the system is meant to link the refrigerator, oven and other appliances to recommend recipes based on available ingredients and individual food preferences, then guide the cooking process.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- Edifier is marking its 30th anniversary at IFA 2026 with a full lineup of new headphones, speakers and studio monitors under the banner "Complete Audio Solutions for Every Listening Scenario."

The XR6 studio monitor targets home and professional creators

The XR6 is a professional active studio monitor with an integrated room acoustic calibration system, combining onboard DSP with dedicated PC software. It uses a full aluminum enclosure and a three-way acoustic design aimed at reducing distortion and cabinet resonance for accurate sound reproduction.

Düsseldorf – September 08, 2026 -- HONOR has expanded its tablet lineup with three new models: the HONOR Pad 20, HONOR Pad 20 Pro, and HONOR Pad X9 Max, targeting everyone from students to power users.

The Pad 20 packs a 12.1-inch 3K display with eye-comfort tech

The HONOR Pad 20 features a 12.1-inch, 3K display at 292 ppi with up to 120 Hz refresh rate and 700 nits peak brightness, running MagicOS 10 in a 6.29 mm all-metal body starting at 525 grams. The device includes AI Defocus Eye Comfort, which the company says improved transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees across more than 2,000 tested scenarios, alongside a circadian night display, hardware-level blue light filtering, and motion-sickness relief rated 89 percent effective for on-the-go use.

Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- DJI has launched the Osmo 360 II, a new 360-degree camera featuring an 8K/60fps 1-inch HDR sensor, priced from 589 EUR in France starting today.

A new sensor doubles brightness range for day and night shooting

The camera's square HDR sensor increases sensor utilization by 25%, extending 360-degree dynamic range to 14.5 stops -- double the previous brightness range, according to DJI. A new AI SuperNight 2.0 noise-reduction algorithm targets sharper low-light footage, while 2.4 μm pixels and a high-performance chip aim to eliminate motion blur during fast action, DJI said.

Stockholm – September 08, 2026 -- Slovenian motocross rider Jan Pancar has clinched the 2026 Italian Prestige 24MX MX1 championship, winning the opening moto at the final round in Castiglione del Lago to seal the title.

FlowWash technology cleans the mop with 60°C water in real time

The system combines a flattened roller mop offering nearly seven times more floor contact than traditional designs, a 16-nozzle system that continuously flushes the mop with 60°C hot water, and 12N of downward cleaning pressure. An integrated scraper removes dirt and wastewater as the robot works.
