Boots on the ground
Just to reiterate, T3 is attending IFA 2025 in force to bring you all the latest announcements on smart home and consumer tech products, such as smart appliances and televisions. There might even be a new phone and tablet, or two.
We'll be updating this live hub with all our content over the next few days, so come back often if you want to keep up to date with the show and launches. We expect tomorrow (Thursday) to be particularly busy.
Now this is ReMarkable...
As part of IFA, E Ink tablet brand ReMarkable has introduced a full-colour, highly-pocketable version of its digital notebook.
The ReMarkable Paper Pro Move has a Kindle Colorsoft style display, but also comes with a stylus to enable you to take notes on its paper-like display. It can even convert your handwritten notes into text, to make them simple to send as an email or message.
Available to order now, it is priced at £399 / $449 for a standard model, or £439 / $499 for a Marker Plus variant.
Peek-a-boo!
LG always uses IFA as a platform to introduce cunning new devices and appliances, and this year's is no exception.
It's already announced a new robot vacuum cleaner and mop that hides away in furniture when not in use. And even more cunning is that chest of drawers is actually its cleaning station, so it can deposit dirt and dirty water out of sight too.
Acer goes early with big announcements
Although the press day of IFA 2025 doesn't technically start until tomorrow (4 September), some companies have already made some big announcements. That includes Acer, with several new laptops and gaming devices that are coming in the next few months and early 2026.
For starters, there's an amazing-looking OLED gaming monitor with a jaw-dropping 720Hz refresh rate. The Acer Predator X27U F8 will start at $1,300 / £1,045 and be available next year.
You can also read about the 18-inch Predator Helios 18P AI gaming laptop, plus the Acer Swift Air 16 – which weighs under 1kg and looks to be a MacBook Air alternative with some serious chops.
Dolby Vision 2
Just yesterday we heard the groundbreaking news that Dolby has released a new version of its HDR technology. Dolby Vision 2 is likely to appear in new TVs across the board, and some are likely to be on display at IFA.
HiSense has already confirmed that its new models being shown at IFA are using the MediaTek Pentonic 800 processor running the "Miravision" Pro PQ Engine. The Pentonic 800 is the first chip that has been confirmed to support Dolby Vision 2.
Pre IFA events start now
Good morning from Germany. T3's tech team are already on the ground ahead of the pre-IFA announcements that start today. Many of the biggest manufacturers are holding keynote events in the run up to the show here in Berlin, so they can beat the rush to the show. Keep your eyes peeled today, as we'll publish the news as it breaks.
