Bang & Olufsen Beosound Theater
Beosound Theater is a new premium soundbar that blew us away in our hands-on preview, offering great audio that justifies its hefty £5590 price tag.
It’s built sustainably, with parts that can be upgraded over time, and easy-to-connect eARC, Dolby Atmos, and a 16-speaker system that impresses both music and movies.
Tivo OS
With TiVo OS, Xperi seeks to challenge the likes of Google TV and Roku as an accessible, personalized TV interface that unites on-demand and live broadcasts into one easy-to-use interface. It impressed us during our early research.
LG Flex TV
Choosing between curved and flat monitors is often a tough choice for gamers, but LG may have the answer with the LG Flex, aka the LX3.
This 42-inch display can be adjusted from a typical flat screen to a screen with a curve of up to 900R using built-in software. There are 20 levels of curvature to choose from and numerous presets that are easy to switch between.
I stared at the Flex TV on the show floor and was impressed with how smoothly it transitioned between flat and curved positions. It’s also packed with technology, including Dolby Vision HDR, 120Hz refresh rate with VRR, and 40w speakers.
Audio Technica AT-LP50BT-RW
The Audio-Technica AT-LP50BT is a very nice-looking record player that stood out on the show floor thanks to its classy design and feature-rich spec sheet.
It features easy-to-use wired and wireless connectivity along with a sleek and timeless rosewood finish.
Asus Zenbook 17 OLED Fold
The Asus Zenbook 17 OLED Fold is one of the first foldable PCs that can be used as both a clamshell laptop and a large 17-inch tablet.
When folded, the OLED Fold resembles a traditional laptop, complete with a dockable Bluetooth keyboard. Open the screen to see a huge 17 inch canvas. Even though this is a first generation product, the potential for a foldable laptop is huge.
Huawei MateBook X Pro 2022
Huawei has updated its premium notebooks with the latest version of the MateBook X Pro. It’s powered by Intel’s latest 12th Gen processors and delivers even better performance along with a slightly larger 3.1k display, improved build quality and a force-sensitive touchpad.
lenovo glass t1
The Lenovo Glasses T1 may look like standard specs, but they actually let you see your smartphone or laptop in a large virtual display, with stunning Micro OLED technology. I can’t wait to bring these into the lab and test them.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold (2022)
Lenovo has updated its amazing foldable PC. The ThinkPad X12 Fold (2022) has a bigger screen and significantly improved performance. Security is also enhanced with the addition of a fingerprint scanner and up to 32GB of RAM.
Huawei Nova 10 Pro
Huawei’s mid-range Nova line introduced several new models at IFA 2022, including this particular Nova 10 Pro model. Features here include a 120Hz OLED display, fast 100w charging, a 50MP main camera, and a Snapdragon 778G chipset. The star of the show is the dual selfie camera, which consists of a 60MP wide-angle camera with autofocus and an 8MP portrait sensor.
Honor MagicBook 14 (2022)
Honor has launched a new iteration of its ultrabooks with the MagicBook 14 (2022). The updated model offers better performance via a 12th Gen Intel chip, along with better screen quality and webcam placement.
Sennheiser Ambeo Plus
Sennheiser’s latest soundbar is smaller and sleeker than the giant Ambeo Max, but it delivers impressive Atmos sound thanks to its impressive Ambeo processing wizardry.
Considering the size, when I heard about the Ambeo Plus, I was immediately drawn to the product and it deserved its Best in Show award.
honor pad 8
The Honor Pad 8 is a very affordable new tablet. Despite being below the iPad, it packs in some impressive features like a 12-inch 2000×1200 resolution display and his Snapdragon 680 processor for exhilarating performance.
Urbanista Phoenix
Phoenix, the first pair of true wireless using ambient light, is the kind of sustainable tech we’d like to see, and hopefully we’ll see more of it in the future.ANC, It also has transparent mode, multipoint connectivity and an IPX4 rating.
Philips OLED+937
The OLED+937 aims to be the brightest OLED TV on the market, with an improved Bowers & Wilkins sound system and clever image processing for SDR and HDR content.
