BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense, a leading brand in global consumer electronics and home appliances, is showcasing its vision of “Companion Living” at IFA 2026 under the theme “Innovating a Brighter Life,” bringing AI into everyday experiences through its V AIOS and AI Companion Suite.

At the center is V AIOS, the next evolution of VIDAA OS, built around four core AI capabilities: Sense, Think, Communicate and Execute. Together, these capabilities enable V AIOS to sense people, devices, and their surroundings, understand context and intent, communicate naturally across people and devices, and coordinate content, devices and services to take action on the user’s behalf. The result is a more intuitive and human-centered foundation for intelligent living.

Building on this AI foundation, the AI Companion Suite brings intelligence into three everyday areas: Cooking, Laundry, and Air & Energy. In the kitchen, intelligence comes together across the space to make cooking feel effortless. By understanding individual food preferences, available ingredients and context, the kitchen can coordinate the refrigerator, oven and other appliances to recommend what to make and guide the cooking process—transforming what’s in the fridge into a dinner made just for you.

In laundry, the same intelligence helps take the guesswork out of garment care, recognizing fabrics and coordinating washing and drying for the way each item should be treated. In the living space, the UR9 serves as a gateway to the connected home, bringing together comfort and energy management to adapt airflow and the home environment around people and conditions.

Together, these innovations demonstrate how AI can move beyond individual smart devices to become a more proactive, personalized and effortless part of everyday life.

Beyond the home, Hisense also announced its partnership with UEFA EURO 2028, marking its fourth consecutive UEFA European Championship partnership, following its collaborations around the 2016, 2020 and 2024 tournaments. From everyday living to global sporting moments, Hisense continues to bring its vision of “Innovating a Brighter Life” to life through technology that brings people closer.

About Hisense

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and the world’s No.1 Mini LED and ultra-large¹ TV brand, today unveiled its vision for an AI Inspired Life at IFA 2026 with the TCL Inspiration Habitat.

Drawing on its technology leadership across displays of all sizes, home appliances and intelligent living solutions, TCL is showing how AI can deliver fully integrated experiences across different parts of everyday life rather than remaining siloed to individual products. From cinematic displays to handheld screens, from air conditioning and laundry to home access and family companionship, the Inspiration Habitat brings these technologies together into experiences that respond more naturally to people, their needs and the spaces around them.

Inspire Your Vision: Expanding How We Experience the World

As the primary access point for AI, the screen is where TCL’s vision for an AI Inspired Life begins. At IFA 2026, TCL is showcasing its extended portfolio of display technologies, spanning from large home theater TVs to smartphones, tablets and wearable devices that together cover more of the ways people watch, work and connect.

At the center is the TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED TV. Representing the pinnacle of TCL’s Mini LED display technology across QD-Mini LED, RGB-Mini LED, and SQD-Mini LED, the X11L is powered by a Super Mini LED Backlight, a Super QLED layer, and the WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel, delivering up to 20,736 precise dimming zones, 10,000 nits of HDR brightness, and up to 100% BT.2020 color gamut coverage. Together with Audio by Bang & Olufsen, the TCL X11L sets a new benchmark for Mini LED picture and sound in the home.

TCL’s display expertise is also on full show with the TCL X3A OLED⁺ Gaming Monitor, which brings high contrast and dual-mode ultra-high refresh rates to gaming. The TCL Digital Signage TMN Series carries TCL’s display capabilities into professional settings. For equally epic audio, the flagship TCL Q95K Soundbar creates a more immersive home cinema environment through an 11.1.4-channel acoustic architecture and audio tuning with Bang & Olufsen. Alongside major hardware innovations, TCL also recently rolled out Gemini for Google TV™ in more countries and languages, including European markets such as the UK, France, Italy and Spain. Gemini transforms content discovery on the big-screen through a smarter AI companion experience, and making it conversational and effortless.

On smaller and more personal screens, TCL, a globally recognized smartphone brand, continues to develop different display technologies designed around different ways of seeing. Making its first appearance at IFA 2026, the TCL P80 Series Smartphone is led by the TCL P80 Ultra, which combines a class-leading 50MP 3x periscope telephoto camera, a bright 1.5K display capable of reaching 3,200 nits, and a slim, lightweight design built for everyday use. The P80 Ultra and P80 Pro also feature the next generation of TCL’s exclusive NXTPAPER technology, helping to improve eye comfort whether reading, viewing content outdoors or in low-light, or using the device for extended time periods. For tablet users, the TCL TAB A1 Plus NXTPAPER brings this paper-like viewing experience to a 12.2-inch display, while on the other end of the portable display spectrum, RayNeo GT Max AR Glasses and RayNeo iO Smart Glasses explore new forms of wearable viewing and everyday AI interaction, and TCL Tbot extends children’s smartwatches from outdoor safety guardians to interactive desktop companions.

Beyond the product demos, TCL has also brought together a series of industry and technical experts to explore the future of big-screen entertainment at home. With perspectives from Hollywood colorist Natasha Leonnet, Google TV’s Product Lead Fahad Durrani, and tech creator Adam Butcher, the discussions delve into how the trend towards larger home TV sizes is making weaknesses in picture quality harder to hide, and how AI is turning the TV from a passive display into a highly personalized entertainment hub, with the next level of immersion hinging on how well display technology, creative intent and intelligent interaction work together.

Inspire Your Comfort: Making Everyday Intelligence Effortless

In the home, some of the most useful applications of AI are the ones that work behind the scenes. In the case of the TCL FreshIN 3.0 Ultra Air Conditioner, fresh-air technology is combined with an upgraded T-AI big data model that adjusts compressor frequency for greater efficiency, delivering up to 37% additional energy savings on top of its inverter performance. Smart Voice Control also enables fast, hands-free operation without relying on an internet connection, while real-time air-quality monitoring makes indoor conditions easier for users to understand.

For laundry, the TCL AI SuperDrum Laundry Tower P9 Ultra uses Generative AI Wash to sense load size, fabric type, and dirt level before automatically adjusting water, temperature, detergent dosage and cycle time to perform the optimal wash. When the cycle is complete, the tower’s triple-inverter heat pump supports efficient low-temperature drying for a more eco-friendly wash. The TCL Free Built-in Refrigerator takes a different approach to convenience, combining flexible food storage and humidity control with a flush built-in design created for modern kitchens.

Beyond home appliances, TCL is also using AI to help homeowners better manage and secure their home. The TCL K11D Pro Dual-Screen AI Smart Lock adds AI-powered interaction and visitor monitoring so that homeowners can safely unlock their door remotely, and the D2 Pro Matter Palm Vein Smart Lock enables touchless access for ultra convenience without sacrificing security.

Inspire Your Living: A Home That Adapts to You

As homes become more connected, the next step in smart living will come not from simply adding more smart devices but by making those technologies work together more intuitively while blending seamlessly into the home environment.

The upgraded TCL NXTHOME™ brings smart displays, home appliances and intelligent design into a more complete living environment. Inspired by the rhythm of the seasons, the experience combines TCL technology with perspectives from Bang & Olufsen, Roche Bobois, Castelli Milano 1938, Chris Lefteri Design and WGSN, exploring how future homes can become more responsive without feeling dominated by technology.

TCL’s AiMe Family Companion Robot meanwhile brings natural multimodal interaction, lifelike motion and evolving content into family life, encouraging children’s exploration, self-expression and positive habits while supporting parents in everyday routines. For smart home energy, the SunPower Origin Back Contact Solar Panel combines back-contact and shingled-cell solar technologies into one panel to improve efficiency and long-term performance for residential use.

Inspire Your Passion: Technology for the Moments We Share

Alongside the extensive lineup of products and technologies, TCL is also showing how technology has the power to inspire by connecting people with the things they care about most. With the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup taking place in Berlin during IFA, TCL is using its role as a FIBA Global Partner to bring the energy and excitement of the tournament into the Inspiration Habitat through a series of basketball experiences and fan interactions. Through its partnership with FIBA and other sports organizations worldwide, TCL is bringing the AI Inspired Life beyond the home into the moments that people share.

This IFA, discover TCL’s vision for an AI Inspired Life at the Inspiration Habitat, where intelligence goes beyond just connected products to encompass true smart living as a natural part of how people enjoy life in the home and beyond.

HONG KONG, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PhotonPay, the next-generation financial operating system, today announced the launch of its local account capability in South Africa, enabling businesses to collect South African Rand (ZAR) through local payment networks and manage those funds through a unified global platform.

South Africa continues to strengthen its position as a digital and commercial hub in Africa. At the beginning of 2025, the country had 50.8 million internet users, with internet penetration reaching 78.9%.¹ Its digital economy is also creating new opportunities for international businesses, with the U.S. International Trade Administration noting continued growth in e-commerce and mobile commerce in its 2026 market assessment.²

At the same time, South Africa has a highly developed domestic payments infrastructure, with multiple payment rails serving different transaction needs. The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has been advancing the country’s payments ecosystem toward faster, more interoperable digital payments. PayShap, launched in 2023, had processed approximately 260 million transactions worth ZAR 215 billion by March 2025.³

For global businesses entering the market, however, accepting local payments can still be operationally complex. Customers may prefer familiar domestic payment methods, while businesses need to manage local collections, reconciliation and fund movement alongside their existing global payment operations.

PhotonPay’s new ZAR local account capability is designed to address these challenges by giving businesses a more direct way to collect from customers in South Africa while keeping their funds within a unified global financial operating system.

Collect in ZAR Through Local Payment Networks

With PhotonPay’s South Africa local account, businesses can receive ZAR-denominated local transfers through major domestic payment networks, including RTGS, RTC, PayShap, EFT and ACH.

Instead of requiring customers to navigate an international wire process, businesses can provide local account details for ZAR payments. This allows South African customers to pay through familiar domestic banking channels, helping businesses reduce payment friction and create a more seamless local payment experience.

The capability is designed to support a range of business models, including cross-border e-commerce, developer platforms and B2B trade, where reliable local collection can directly affect payment completion, cash-flow management and day-to-day operations.

For businesses, the benefits extend beyond simply receiving payments:

• A more local payment experience: Customers can pay in ZAR through familiar domestic banking channels, without having to initiate an international transfer.
• Faster access to funds: Local collections support T+0 to T+1 crediting, helping businesses reduce the time funds remain in transit and improve cash-flow visibility.
• Built-in compliance and risk controls: PhotonPay applies transaction-level compliance and risk management based on business context, transaction activity, fund flows and relevant supporting documentation, helping businesses manage local collections within a controlled operating framework.

The launch in South Africa marks another step in PhotonPay’s expansion across emerging markets, helping businesses meet local payment needs while managing their global operations. Looking ahead, PhotonPay will continue expanding its local capabilities across key markets, giving businesses more efficient ways to collect, move and manage funds as they grow globally.

About PhotonPay

PhotonPay is a stablecoin-powered financial operating system built for global infrastructure. Designed for modern enterprises, PhotonPay enables businesses to send, receive, convert, and settle funds across both fiat and stablecoin rails through a single, compliance-first integration, spanning 200+ countries and territories.
