OPINION : The IFA consumer electronics show is back and this bell ringer that time of the year when the summer caper are twist down as stigma make the announcements that will see them through until the end of the year .
What do we await to see at the show ? There ’s stuff we can mull over on and others that we ca n’t , but IFA 2022 looks like it could be an interesting show , especially if you ’re concerned in picking up sound and home cinema - related products in the tally - up to Christmas .
Technically some of the brands mentioned are n’t actuallyatIFA and perhaps it ’s just me , but I ’m a little surprised there are n’t many unexampled products that have n’t already been beleaguer or leak . Perhaps there ’s a surprisal or two in the offing , but nevertheless , I ’m excited IFA is back on the menu .
Here’s what we’re expecting at IFA 2022
After a delicate launching earlier in the year for its 2022 range , Philips tends to launch its hero OLED – most potential the OLED907 and OLED937 – in September . The TVs were actually leak out earlier in the twelvemonth with the OLED907 expected to be available in 48- , 55- and 65 - inch sizes . From leaked images , the OLED907 looks to have an integrated soundbar at the bottom , while the OLED937 continues with the Bowers & Wilkins sound system withAtmos support . I mistrust they ’ll both feature the new OLED ex-wife jury from LG , would n’t have a bun in the oven price to be announce at the issue .
It ’s been geezerhood since Sennheiser set in motion its monumental , but undoubtedly impressiveAmbeo Soundbar . However , food market conditions have been changing as small , Atmos - enable bars have been hitting the market . Sennheiser has had a few high profile launch in 2022 with theMomentum True Wireless 3andMomentum 4 Wirelessheadphones , and the first moment is that they ’ll be revealing a summary , less expensive edition of the Ambeo soundbar . I ’m very interested in seeing what audio recording wizardry it has conjured up this time because the Ambeo is thebest Atmos soundbaron the grocery store right now .
Japanese audio brand Audio Technica is list as one of the shower , and according to the endorsement on its website , new turntables and earphone are on the way , though I ca n’t say much more about that .
Bang & Olufsen will be opening up their door in Berlin ( from 1st to 3rd September ) for people to see The Sound Bar , the Danish company ’s latest home movie theater offer . We liked theBeosound Stage , so we ’re interested to see what innovation the steel will be lend with The Sound Bar .
Qualcomm bigged up itsSnapdragon Soundecosystem back in early 2021 , so it ’s taken some time for the ecosystem to build up but it ’s almost at a point where products are about to launch with funding for the engineering . Snapdragon Sound andaptXLossless are expected to be further detail at the show , and I ’d be concerned to try how well aptX Lossless fares after listening to theNuraTrue Proearlier this year .
Toshiba will be there , in all probability present its newfangled TVs , and XGIMI will be record off its current mountain chain of projectors ( you may read about their previous one in theHorizon Pro ) .
Urbanista will be at IFA but we ’re not expecting any previously unheralded products at the outcome after the reveal of thePhoenix true wireless in August . Elsewhere , while LG and Samsung are at the event , we think their focus will be on other domain such as sustainability and plate life , and we are n’t expecting anything from Panasonic which is just about to institute its new OLED to the market .
We do n’t expect any news show from the likes of Bose and Sony at the event , both brands have skipped the effect in late years to focus on their own promulgation .
If there ’s anything to take from IFA ahead of the event , it ’s that it feel as if it ’s business as usual . That ’s a serious matter , especially after the last few days , but I ’d also like a sprinkle of something truly young and different . There ’s an excitement about these eccentric of tech shows that feels diminish because of the pandemic , and if they are to continue , they ’re going to need to be back with a kick to capture people ’s aid . rent ’s see what IFA has to offer .
