I woke up this morning in Andalusia to this and enjoyed it to the max because I knew the rest of my day will be spent in the Power Briefings for the IFA Global Press Conference. Breathe in. Breathe out. Ok. Breakfast time. Then into the fray we go.
The day kicked off with our yearly host David Graveline, and his dulcet voice. And then Philips kicked things off with a few announcements.
This coming IFA in Berlin, Philips is coming out with a device for Snoring Relief.
My wife will be the first to buy this… for me.
Also cool, Philips is launching the S7000 shaver at IFA. For men with sensitive skin. Me! Me!
China’s TCL was next. I didn’t know that TCL is the market leader in 55-inch tv panel production. They plan to be the same for 65 and 75-inch panels.
Yes to cheaper large-screen TVs.
Chinese appliance company Haier showed why they acquired the Candy Group to grow in Europe.
Haier’s data shows that 65% of users use the quick program mode for laundry. So they added NINE quick programs to their new washing machine and an app that allows you to determine which mode to use with just a photo of your laundry.
German TV manufacturer Metz introduces itself to a younger generation not familiar with their brand, Metz Blue.
Metz is now owned by Chinese company Skyworth. And Skyworth is “one of the brands that is number one in China”. That elicited a laugh because there are many brands in China that claim to be number one in one way or another. Meanwhile, Metz Classic, the high-end brand, will enter China for the first time.
Safera, the fire prevention company showed the three common things people forget when cooking. And is introducing a sensor that can work with your stove for fire safety.
Hisense gorenge, the result of Hisense of China buying gorenge, the major appliance manufacturer from Slovenia, is launching an 8K ULED TV at IFA this year.
The home appliance and tv market seems to be seeing a lot of new innovations this year.
Ok. Time for lunch.
