Lepro Introduces AI Lighting Pro Series at IFA 2025

Lepro used the stage at IFA 2025 in Berlin to debut its AI Lighting Pro series, a lineup that puts an integrated AI microphone directly into each light. This means no external speakers, hubs, or complicated setup, just a simple “Hey Lepro” to control lamps, strips, and neon ropes with natural voice commands.

The series includes four products: the TB1-Pro AI table lamp, S1-Pro AI strip lights, N1-Pro AI neon rope light, and OE1-Pro AI floor lamp. All models feature Wi-Fi connectivity, modern designs, and the ability to generate lighting scenes based on moods, activities, or even spur-of-the-moment inspiration.

Voice-Controlled Lighting Without the Extras

At the center of the experience is the built-in AI Mic. Instead of relying on a smart speaker, users can issue commands directly to the light itself. Basic actions such as on/off, dimming, or color changes are executed instantly. For more creative control, Lepro’s LightGPM engine acts as an AI lighting designer, interpreting natural language prompts like “I’m doing yoga” or “set a home party vibe” and creating tailored lighting scenes. The AI adapts and improves these effects over time based on user feedback.

Compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant is included, making it easy to fold the lights into existing smart home routines.

A Look at Each Product

  • TB1-Pro AI Table Lamp – Features three independently adjustable rings, allowing users to reshape the lamp’s form for both function and style.
  • S1-Pro AI Strip Light – Flexible LED strips designed for entertainment areas and accent lighting.
  • N1-Pro AI Neon Rope Light – A diffused, bendable rope that delivers a continuous glow, perfect for creative wall art or gaming setups.
  • OE1-Pro AI Floor Lamp – A slim design with dual lighting modes: vibrant RGB for atmosphere or warm 2700K white light for reading.

All four support multi-zone RGBIC lighting with DIY effects, tunable white lighting (on select models), and advanced music sync through Lepro’s LightBeats feature. With LightBeats, lights pulse and animate in real time to match the rhythm and mood of any track.

Introducing LightGPM 4

Alongside the new hardware, Lepro announced LightGPM 4, the latest version of its AI-powered lighting engine. This upgrade adds themed scene generation, letting users request lighting based on movies, games, or creative prompts, and a new Photo-to-Light function. Uploading a photo of a room or an image with a specific theme allows the system to create a custom lighting setup that reflects the colors and style of the picture.

Lepro stressed its privacy safeguards during the announcement. Voice commands are anonymized and processed in real time, while uploaded photos are analyzed but not stored. Users can delete their data at any point within the Lepro app.

Availability

The AI Lighting Pro series will launch first in North America later in 2025, with wider availability to follow. LightGPM 4 is already being rolled out across Lepro’s lineup, providing a more personalized and intuitive lighting experience.

DREO Brings Next-Gen Comfort Tech and Expanded Product Lines to IFA 2025

DREO is back at IFA 2025 with an expanded lineup and a pair of new technologies aimed at making home comfort smarter, faster, and more efficient. Known as the top-selling tower fan brand on Amazon across the US, UK, and Germany, and holding the same position for heaters in the US and UK, the company is using Berlin’s biggest tech stage to underline its rapid growth in Europe.

Heating That Covers Every Corner

The spotlight is on two “firsts” in the climate-control category. Leading the charge is the Whole Room Heater 714S, which launches this September. It debuts DREO’s Advanced 3D Whole Room Heating, using 90° horizontal and 60° vertical oscillation to evenly spread warmth throughout a space. Powered by the brand’s Hyperamics tech, it reaches optimal heat in just two seconds, a welcome change for anyone tired of cold corners and chilly waits.

Coming in 2026 is the TurboPoly Fan 765S, equipped with Gyro-Sync Control & Full-Room 3D Airflow Technology. This feature doesn’t spin air around aimlessly so much as it actively directs airflow to where it’s needed, while refreshing an entire room’s air in under a minute. Think of it as climate control with GPS-level precision.

Expanding the Lineup

Alongside these new technologies, DREO is broadening its range with three fresh product categories:

  • Whole-Room Heaters: Headlined by the Heater 714S, built for even distribution instead of hot spots.
  • Outdoor Tower Fans: The 711S pairs TurboWind airflow with extra-wide 150° oscillation, helping patios and gardens stay cool when the temperature spikes.
  • Evaporative Coolers: Available as the stand-mounted 765S and countertop 516S, both models add ultrasonic cooling mist and a quiet brushless motor to the mix.

Each category speaks to DREO’s goal of delivering comfort solutions for both indoor and outdoor living.

UK Growth and Retail Push

The UK has been a major success story for DREO. After two straight years topping Amazon’s fan and heater charts and a nearly 70% revenue increase from 2023 to 2024, the company rolled out its winter 2025 range in August. The lineup, anchored by the Whole Room Heater 714S, has already made waves, supported by a UK media launch and a retail presence expanding into Argos, Costco UK, and more.

Beyond Britain, DREO plans to establish itself in over 400 German offline retail locations by 2026 and is targeting growth across Ukraine, Romania, and the Baltic States. It’s an aggressive retail strategy that shifts the company from online dominance to full omnichannel availability.

ECOVACS Introduces DEEBOT X11 OMNICYCLONE at IFA 2025

ECOVACS Introduces DEEBOT X11 OMNICYCLONE at IFA 2025

ECOVACS has taken the wraps off its latest flagship robot vacuum at IFA 2025 in Berlin. The new DEEBOT X11 OMNICYCLONE combines fast-charging tech, advanced AI, and improved cleaning hardware in an effort to make daily floor care less of a chore. Available now in the U.S. and Canada, the $1,499.99 robot ($1,999.99 in Canada) is the company’s most ambitious DEEBOT yet.

Charging Without the Wait

One of the standout features is PowerBoost GaN fast charging, which lets the X11 top off its battery during short pit stops—like mop rinses—so it rarely needs to pause for long. Paired with ECOVACS’ upgraded BLAST suction system, the robot is built to handle large spaces without losing steam. That should be welcome news for homeowners with bigger floorplans or busy households that generate mess faster than a robot can recharge.

Smarter Scrubbing and Suction

The X11 introduces OZMO Roller 2.0, a reinforced mop head designed to break down dried spills and greasy messes that usually require elbow grease. Corners and baseboards also get more attention this time thanks to TruEdge 3.0 Extreme Edge Cleaning, which flexes up to 15mm into edges for precision cleaning without scuffing walls. Meanwhile, a refined motor design keeps suction strong but quiet enough to avoid sounding like an airport runway mid-vacuum.

No More Bags, No More Fuss

The redesigned OMNI Station ditches disposable dust bags in favor of a PureCyclone 2.0 system, which uses a multi-stage cyclone to separate debris. This means less clogging, no extra consumables to buy, and a more eco-friendly approach to robot upkeep. For households tired of swapping bags and dealing with suction loss, this may be one of the most practical upgrades in the lineup.

AI That Actually Helps

At the center of the X11’s intelligence is AGENT YIKO, the company’s most advanced on-device AI assistant yet. Rather than relying on scripted commands, it adapts to household routines over time and responds naturally to voice prompts. For those invested in broader ecosystems, the robot is Matter-compatible, making it easy to start or stop cleaning with Apple Home or Google Home controls.

Built to Handle the Bumps

The X11 debuts a new TruePass Adaptive 4WD Climbing System, which relies on mechanical levers to tackle thresholds and rugs up to 4cm tall. Instead of second-guessing with sensors, it mechanically adjusts as needed, reducing the chances of the robot getting stuck mid-transition.

The ECOVACS DEEBOT X11 OMNICYCLONE robot vacuum is shown at its charging station, featuring a sleek design with a prominent transparent dust chamber and illuminated elements.

Hot Water and Dual Cleaning Modes

ECOVACS tucked in a few more tricks, including 167°F water mop washing to sanitize while lifting grime and a dual-fluid cleaning system that switches between standard and heavy-duty solutions depending on the mess. Sticky kitchen spills, greasy footprints, or just everyday dust all get different treatment without manual swaps.

Pricing and Availability

The DEEBOT X11 OMNICYCLONE is available now for $1,499.99 in the U.S. and $1,999.99 in Canada through ECOVACS.com and Amazon, with BestBuy.com and Target.com availability in the U.S. rolling out in the coming weeks.

Customizable Lighting for Every Occasion

The Party Lights+ system is a highlight of the Sound Tower series, transforming any gathering into a true audio-visual experience. With five mood presets and six lighting patterns, users can easily set the perfect atmosphere. The revamped Samsung Sound Tower App allows seamless control over these features, making it easy to sync the lighting with the beat of the music. The lighting system includes track lights, ring lights, line lights, crystal lights, and handle lights, providing a 360-degree effect that adds visual flair to any event.

Built for Performance and Portability

Both the ST50F and ST40F models are designed with the user in mind, offering up to 18 hours of battery life and IPX4 water resistance for worry-free outdoor use. The Grip & Roll design, featuring integrated handles and wheels, makes these speakers easy to transport, whether moving them from room to room or taking them on the go. The ST50F model includes a telescopic handle and wheels for even greater mobility.

Additional Features for Enhanced Entertainment

For those looking to take their gatherings up a notch, the Sound Tower series includes DJ Booth and Karaoke modes, along with a guitar input, turning any space into a live stage. This combination of powerful sound and dynamic lighting ensures a truly party-ready experience.

  • Shift Keyboard Case – Designed for professionals, it offers multiple stand angles (20°–75° landscape, 20° drawing, 70° portrait) and long battery life—up to 195 days on the 13-inch model.
  • Flex Keyboard Case – A lighter, more portable option for students and casual users. It includes a stable triangular stand, integrated pencil holder, and up to 60 days of battery life with daily use.

Tougher iPhone Protection on the Horizon

Looking ahead to Apple’s next iPhones, ESR previewed its Cyber Tough Magnetic Case and UltraFit Armorite® Pro Screen Protector. The case combines reinforced Air Guard corners, dual-layer camera protection, and a built-in stand, while the screen protector uses Corning’s Accessory Glass with a new anti-reflective coating that cuts glare by half.

ESR at IFA

Tim Wu, ESR’s CEO, framed the launches around the company’s broader mission: “Tech Made Easier is not just our mission, it’s our commitment. With these launches at IFA, we’re empowering users everywhere with smart, versatile, no-compromise solutions for charging, protection, and productivity.”

TECNO Showcases Slim Smartphone, AI-Powered Laptops, and Expanding AIoT Ecosystem

TECNO used its stage at IFA ShowStoppers 2025 in Berlin to spotlight a lineup that blends sleek hardware with AI-driven features. The brand officially introduced its ultra-thin TECNO Slim smartphone, expanded its AIoT product family, and confirmed laptop availability in more European markets, including Spain and France.

TECNO Slim: Thin but Tough

The spotlight product, TECNO Slim, arrives as the world’s slimmest 3D-curved smartphone, measuring just 5.93mm for the 4G version and 5.95mm for 5G. The device was first shown earlier this year at Mobile World Congress as a concept, where it earned recognition as one of our Best of MWC. Its transition from concept to market-ready product underscores TECNO’s ability to push design boundaries without cutting corners on functionality.

Despite its slender frame, Slim packs a 5,160mAh battery with 45W fast charging, a 144Hz 1.5K AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, and military-grade shock resistance. On the software side, built-in AI features like Circle to Search, AI writing tools, and real-time translation give it everyday practicality. It’s not just about being thin. It’s about being thin and useful.

MEGABOOK S14: Lightest 14-inch OLED AI Laptop

Paired with the Slim is the MEGABOOK S14 laptop, weighing only 899 grams. Offered with Snapdragon X Elite or Intel Core Ultra 9 processors, the notebook is built for on-device AI, enabling tools such as AI Meeting Assistant, AI-powered presentation building, and AI Gallery organization. TECNO positions it as a productivity companion that balances performance with extreme portability—something road warriors and backpack minimalists will likely appreciate.
