TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and the world’s No.1 Mini LED and ultra-large TV brand, will present its latest innovations across entertainment, mobile and home appliances at IFA 2026.

Under the theme “AI Inspired Life,” TCL’s Inspiration Habitat in Hall 21A at Messe Berlin brings together its newest products and shows how they form part of a connected technology ecosystem.

“‘AI Inspired Life’ is about making technology more useful, personal and intuitive in the moments that matter,” said Stefan Streit, Chief Marketing Officer at TCL Europe. “At IFA 2026, we’re showing how AI can make everyday life simpler, smarter and more connected. For us, it’s not about AI for the sake of AI, but about creating experiences that genuinely help people watch, communicate and live better, while making advanced technology more accessible to everyone.”

Mobile Expertise for More Personal Experiences

Building mobile phones is hardwired into TCL’s DNA. With decades of experience in the global communications market, TCL has developed capabilities across mobile R&D, display and imaging technology, manufacturing and worldwide business operations. 

The new TCL P80 Series brings this expertise together across three clearly differentiated models. The TCL P80 Ultra and TCL P80 Pro are the first smartphones worldwide to feature NXTPAPER AMOLED, combining the vivid color and deep contrast of AMOLED with NXTPAPER technologies designed to reduce glare and blue-light exposure.

Leading the series, the TCL P80 Ultra is built for people who want more freedom when capturing distant moments. Its standout feature is a 50MP 3× periscope telephoto camera with optical and electronic image stabilization, making it easier to zoom in on faraway subjects while keeping images sharp and steady.

Selected packages also provide access to a 30-day Lingokids Premium trial Accessories, configurations and bundle contents vary by market.

TCL is extending its connected-device portfolio with the new TCL Kids Watch K5, designed as a simpler first connected watch for children and families who want to stay in touch without introducing a full smartphone experience. Its core features include 4G communication, video calling, location tracking, safe zones, School Mode and SOS support in a compact, lightweight design. A removable protective bumper case and selected interchangeable straps provide additional ways to personalize the watch.

TCL is also previewing TCL Tbot K5, a conceptual AI desktop companion designed to support children when their watch is off the wrist, including during charging. Envisioned to encourage healthy routines, guided discovery and calm bedtime habits, Tbot reflects TCL’s ongoing work in human-centered AI, sensing technology and connectivity, with parental choice and control at its core.

The established TCL MOVETIME MT48 complements the K5 as the more advanced option in TCL’s kids smartwatch portfolio, with high-precision GPS supported by L1+L5 dual-frequency positioning, alongside communication, safety and routine-management features.

Previously introduced at MWC 2026, TCL CrystalClip will also be showcased as part of TCL’s connected ecosystem. Its lightweight open-ear, clip-on design supports music and calls while allowing listeners to remain more aware of their surroundings. A special edition featuring a detachable accessory adorned with crystals by Swarovski® brings a more expressive, jewelry-inspired feel to the wearable design.

TCL’s latest eye-wear innovations, the RayNeo iO Smart Glasses, integrate a powerful AI Assistant into everyday glasses that are just 0.6mm thick. Alongside, the RayNeo GT Max AR Glasses are the world’s first Dolby Vision certified AR glasses, featuring an ultra-wide field of view with vivid colors and lifelike visuals.

TCL’s wider Mini LED portfolio also includes the RM9L and RM7L RGB-Mini LED TVs. RGB Precise Dimming technology uses individually controlled red, green and blue light sources to support more precise light and color control.

 

Bringing Cinema-Scale Sound to Living Rooms

Alongside its television portfolio, TCL is unveiling the flagship TCL Q95K Soundbar at IFA. Its 11.1.4-channel configuration uses 22 drivers across a soundbar, wireless subwoofer and rear speakers to place compatible Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content around the viewer. Audio by Bang & Olufsen provides custom tuning, while B&O beamforming technology directs sound more precisely to improve dialogue clarity and separate voices, music and effects. AI Sonic-Adaptation analyzes the listening environment and adjusts the audio to help create a more balanced experience across different room layouts.

The EISA-awarded TCL A65K soundbar is created for modern living spaces. At just 50mm slim, it sits discreetly beneath the television while delivering a fuller, clearer sound experience. 

The Z100 Wireless Free Sound Speaker demonstrates how an immersive sound experience doesn’t need to be full of cables.  Designed to work with compatible TCL televisions featuring Dolby Atmos FlexConnect [Z100-01], each 1.1.1-channel speaker delivers 170W peak power, and can be positioned where it works best in the room.

More Ways to Work and Play

Intelligence That Adapts Around the Home

Across refrigeration, laundry and air conditioning, TCL’s latest home appliances are designed to make everyday life a little easier: from flexible storage and smaller spaces to busy household routines and creating a healthier, more energy-efficient home environment.

Making its IFA 2026 debut, the TCL Dual Cooling Refrigerator uses separate cooling circuits for the refrigerator and freezer, helping prevent odor transfer and keep food tasting fresh. Its AI-powered Convertible Zone adjusts from 5°C to −20°C, providing flexible refrigerator or freezer space, while an automatic ice maker and inner water dispenser add extra convenience.

For kitchens where space is tight, the TCL Mega Space® SE Series Refrigerator uses VIP Thin-Wall Technology to maximize storage inside a counter-depth design that fits neatly with existing cabinets.

The TCL Flexi Series Refrigerator is all about adaptable storage, with reversible and foldable glass shelves to accommodate different foods and containers, and a flexible bottle rack and door storage that can be rearranged to suit household needs. 

TCL’s laundry range focuses on effective cleaning, fabric care, and energy efficiency. The TCL P5 Super Drum® Series features a 540mm Super Drum, six Bionic Lifters, jetBubble™ technology and autoStain Removal™ to tackle tough stains while protecting fabrics.

The TCL P9 AI SuperDrum® Ultra Tower brings washing and heat-pump drying together in a vertical space-saving design. Its AI Wash feature detects load size, fabric type and dirt level before adjusting water, temperature, detergent dosage, and wash time automatically.

For a more comfortable home, TCL FreshIN 3.0 combines QuadruPuri four-layer filtration with real-time air-quality monitoring, while T-AI Energy-Saving technology is designed to optimize performance and energy use.

TCL VoxIN adds hands-free control to cooling, with offline voice commands for adjusting temperature, operating modes and airflow without an internet connection. Its Gentle Breeze feature delivers cooling without direct wind. 

Beyond the home, TCL also offers commercial air conditioning solutions and Air-to-Water (ATW) tri-generation heat pump systems. The full portfolio focuses on durable, energy-efficient systems that deliver healthier air across a wide range of businesses such as offices, hotels, restaurants, and retailers.

One Connected Inspiration Habitat for Everyday Life

Bringing all these categories together, the upgraded TCL NXTHOME™ takes visitors on an immersive journey through the home with “Seasonal Resonance,” inspired by the changing seasons. Building on TCL’s Inspire Nature Aesthetics, changing colors, moods and signature patterns flow across smart displays, appliances, interiors and furnishings.

From entertainment and communication to climate, food care and laundry, the Inspiration Habitat shows how technology can fit more naturally into everyday life, rather than feeling like a collection of separate products. It brings TCL’s wider innovation story to life in one connected space, designed around people, their homes and the way their routines change.

Visitors can experience TCL’s latest innovations at the TCL IFA 2026 booth in Hall 21A, Messe Berlin, Germany, from September 4 to 8, 2026.
