Lenovo announced its most powerful and bulky laptops at IFA, including the high-end Thinkpad P16 Gen 3 with top-tier specs, a lighter but still powerful Thinkpad P1 Gen 8, and the Legion Pro 7 gaming laptop, along with new gaming OLED monitors, catering to professional and gaming users.
Philips Hue announced a new lineup of smart home products including motion-sensing bulbs, a high-resolution doorbell with a fisheye camera, and new light strips, along with a more affordable Essential bulb line and a new Bridge Pro hub with increased capacity and motion detection features, all supporting the Matter protocol for easier integration.
Leaked images suggest Lenovo's upcoming concept laptop, 'Project Pivo,' features a rotating display that switches between landscape and portrait modes, potentially useful for coding and mobile web viewing. The company is also expected to showcase other products like the Legion Go 2, tablets, and Motorola phones at the upcoming IFA tradeshow.
The smart home industry is still struggling with interoperability issues, despite the development of the Matter standard by major players like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung. Matter aims to provide a common language for connected devices to communicate locally without relying on a cloud connection. However, a year after its first public demonstration, Matter has yet to deliver on its promise of seamless integration across different devices and platforms. As the IFA tech trade show approaches, there is hope for more connected and less fragmented smart home solutions. The industry needs to provide a more compelling reason for consumers to adopt smart home technology beyond novelty, focusing on essential and practical applications.
Images of Philips Hue's rumored home security cameras have surfaced online, revealing at least two of the four speculated camera models that have received regulatory approval from the FCC. The cameras come in black and white variants, with a battery-operated version being taller than the wired one. The cameras are expected to support Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee standards, indicating integration with the wider Hue ecosystem. Pricing details are yet to be confirmed, but previous reports suggest a retail price of around €199.95 ($218) for the wired version and €249.95 ($272) for the battery-powered variant. Philips may officially unveil the cameras at the IFA consumer electronics trade show.
