TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and the world’s No. 1 Mini LED and ultra-large TV brand, today unveiled a new era of visual innovation and intelligent living at CES 2026. The company introduced a portfolio of world-first display technologies, AI-powered products, and intelligent solutions designed to redefine immersive entertainment, smart living, and productivity across every screen size.

Redefining the Future of Display Technology

At CES 2026, TCL demonstrated its continued leadership in display innovation with breakthroughs spanning large-format TVs, mobile devices, and wearable displays. Headlining the showcase was the global debut of SQD-Mini LED Technology, a revolutionary advancement that transforms conventional Mini LED local dimming zones into a Precise Dimming Series, enabling ultra-accurate light control across the entire screen.

By integrating TCL’s Super QLED technology with an Ultra Color Filter Panel, SQD-Mini LED delivers enhanced color performance, higher peak brightness, extended panel longevity, and a more stable global wide color gamut. The result is superior contrast, refined visual detail, and consistent performance across highlights and shadows.

Making its world debut alongside this technology is the TCL X11L, the world’s first TV powered by SQD-Mini LED. Featuring up to 100% BT.2020 all-scene wide color gamut, CSOT WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel, and native high contrast, the X11L delivers striking clarity and depth. With up to 20,736 precise dimming zones and brightness reaching 10,000 nits, HDR content appears exceptionally vivid and lifelike.

The X11L also showcases TCL’s design leadership with a sleek, nearly 2 cm-thinner profile and a Virtually ZeroBorder aesthetic. Audio performance is elevated through Audio by Bang & Olufsen, delivering a premium cinematic sound experience.

Smarter, More Immersive Viewing Experiences

TCL further expanded its display ecosystem through deeper collaborations with Google TV and Dolby. Building on last year’s debut of the first “Always On” Google TV with Gemini, TCL’s 2026 lineup introduces more intuitive interaction features, including enhanced Google Photos search, creative tools powered by Nano Banana and Veo, and smarter AI-driven engagement.

TCL also showcased Dolby Vision 2, the next generation of Dolby Vision technology, designed to enhance visual quality through content intelligence, cinematic detail, and environmental awareness. Dolby Vision 2 is expected to roll out via OTA updates to TCL’s X and C TV series in 2026.

Eye Comfort and Portable Display Innovation

In eye-care technology, TCL highlighted the NXTPAPER 70 Pro smartphone, powered by NXTPAPER 4.0, offering all-day eye comfort for modern digital lifestyles. A dedicated NXTPAPER Key allows users to seamlessly switch between three optimized viewing modes.

Expanding the NXTPAPER ecosystem, the TCL Note A1 NXTPAPER eNote tablet combines a paper-like reading and writing experience with AI-powered productivity tools, ideal for focused work and creative expression.

TCL also unveiled the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, the world’s first HDR10 AR glasses, delivering advanced display performance, exceptional clarity, and enhanced comfort for portable work and entertainment.

Powering the Next Generation of Intelligent Living

Beyond displays, TCL introduced a comprehensive range of AI-powered smart home solutions designed to bring greater intelligence, efficiency, and sustainability into everyday life. Highlights include the FreshIN 3.0 Air Conditioner, GeniusFresh Refrigerator, AmeraClassic washer and dryer series, and the TCL AI SuperDrum washer-dryer combo.

TCL’s smart locks deliver advanced biometric security and AI-enabled access, while TCL Smart Home Energy Solutions offer an integrated energy ecosystem with AI-driven power conversion, battery storage, and energy management—helping households reduce energy costs and support a low-carbon lifestyle.

AI-Enhanced Entertainment, Mobility, and Productivity

In entertainment, TCL leverages AI to elevate picture and sound quality, enable smarter interaction, and enhance content creation. The PlayCube Projector brings cinema-grade visuals to any environment, while TCL AiMe, the world’s first modular AI companion robot, introduces adaptive, lifelike interaction that adds a human dimension to smart living.

For mobility and productivity, TCL continues to expand its intelligent ecosystem across smartphones, tablets, and connectivity devices. The Human × Vehicle × Home Cross-Scenario Solution enables seamless integration between home and automotive environments. Meanwhile, the TCL 5G Mobile WiFi P50, featuring the industry’s first 5G mmWave mobile Wi-Fi with fast and wireless charging, delivers high-speed, ultra-convenient connectivity on the go.

Pioneering Partnerships for the Future Home

At CES 2026, TCL also showcased TCL NXTHOME™, a vision for the future of home living that unites smart home technology, lifestyle appliances, and premium collaborations with Bang & Olufsen, BMW Group Designworks Shanghai Studio, and Alcantara.

Reinforcing its sustainability commitment, TCL introduced ECORA™, a next-generation eco-friendly material developed with Chris Lefteri Design, made from recycled porcelain ceramics and engineered to combine high performance with responsible design.

With continued innovation across display technology, AI, and sustainable solutions, TCL is shaping a smarter, more connected future—transforming how people live, work, and interact with technology.

Stepping Up Content Creation Plate: Motorola EDGE Series


Budding Filipino filmmaker, Jo Serrano, has just released her first short film, “Boracay: Beyond The White Beach”, which viewers can watch in TECNO Mobile’s official Facebook and YouTube pages. The documentary-style film was produced in collaboration with top local director, Paul Soriano, and his team at TEN17P. Jo was named the Grand Winner of the TECNO Mobile Movie Masters Program last December, winning a Php 300,000 grant, and the opportunity to work on this movie with the boutique film company.


 

The Movie Masters Program was launched by TECNO Mobile in 2021, with a short film competition that was open to amateur Filipino filmmakers. Finalists were tasked to create original videos using the CAMON 18 Premier smartphone, highlighting moving moments from everyday life. In her winning Movie Masters entry, “Bukidnon An Eco Adventure" wherein Jo showcased raw and authentic moments that she experienced on a trip to the beautiful province of Bukidnon.

 


Making Boracay: Beyond The White Beach according to Jo Serrano, “Boracay: Beyond The White Beach” was inspired by the struggles she faced during the pandemic. The documentary-style film begins with the protagonist heading to the island of Boracay to escape. While there, she encounters locals who open up to her about their struggles, and how they cope with the pandemic.

“I came to a point in my life where my stress, anxiety, and depression caused me to nearly quit being a creator because the travel industry has been severely affected by the pandemic,” shared Jo. “It's a struggle that most of us can relate to, how the pandemic has affected us.” With this as her film’s theme, Jo aimed to show viewers that there is always hope. “I want my viewers to see that regardless of the struggles that we face during the pandemic there is always a silver lining and we all have to be steady in the face of challenges,” she said.

When asked about her process in making this film, Jo replied, “Making a documentary is a very un-expecting experience. Since you are dealing with real people and real experiences, you wouldn’t know what happens next.”

Shooting with the Movie Master CAMON 18 Premier Just like her entry to the Movie Masters Program, Jo filmed “Boracay: most of the scenes were shot using a CAMON 18 Premier smartphone. Jo considers CAMON 18 Premier a good starting camera for anyone who is interested in filmmaking but does not have the budget for expensive gear. Jo said, “Its in-body gimbal feature is a big help when you are always on the go. As a traveler you need to carry light gears with you.”

Direk Paul Soriano agrees that CAMON 18 Premier is great for budding filmmakers, calling it the perfect tool for capturing moments and telling stories. In a recent Instagram video, he shared that his favorite CAMON 18 Premier feature is the Stabilized Gimbal Camera, which allows people to capture handheld shots that look nice, crisp and stable. He also said that this smartphone is something he wishes he could have had when he was starting out years ago making home videos, short films, and music videos.

TECNO Mobile supports Filipino filmmakers


TECNO Mobile’s Movie Masters Program marked the beginning of the premium smartphone brand’s commitment to supporting the local filmmaking scene in the Philippines. Jo Serrano’s
experience is a testament to this, and she believes that the program has made a huge impact on her as an aspiring filmmaker.

“Working with a team is very different from working alone,” she said. “I learned new things working on this film. The process of shooting a film is way different from how I make vlogs. It made me a better storyteller.”

“This is my first legit short film with a team and I would like to personally thank TEN17P for helping me and assisting me throughout the making of this film,” Jo added. “Coming from a vlogging background and transitioning to the world of film has been a challenge for me, but they guided me to come up with something meaningful and inspiring for viewers to watch. I hope you
will enjoy watching and listening to the stories I've encountered during my Boracay trip.”

Through the Movie Masters Program, aspiring filmmakers were given a venue to tell their stories. In his message during the awarding ceremony, Direk Paul invited more filmmakers and creators to take advantage of opportunities like this. He said, “We have the freedom that we all want when we tell our stories. The creative freedom. It’s really just you, and the CAMON 18 Premier, and your stories. What else do you need?”

Experience #SuperSteadyShot with the Movie Master CAMON 18 TECNO Mobile continues to explore the road of technology, and its CAMON 18 Series pushes the boundaries of what it means to be a professional camera smartphone, delivering unbelievably clear images and videos with its advanced anti-shaking capabilities.

CAMON 18 Premier, dubbed the “Movie Master”, brings together the best of the CAMON series, with features like TAIVOS, Super Night Mode, and Selfie Mode, combined with a new Ultra-steady Gimbal Camera, 60X Hybrid Zoom, and even more enhanced AI features for achieving a
#SuperSteadyShot.

The CAMON 18P model also caters to video enthusiasts, with its 48MP clear and steady video camera, and 13MP 50mm pro portrait camera. Completing the series is the CAMON 18 variant, which is equipped with a 48MP multi-function triple camera, and comes in a beautiful Iris Purple colorway that is perfect for women, plus a uniquely-designed Ceramic edition.

Chris Evans for TECNO's Movie Master CAMON 18




TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile video, has partnered with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the world’s largest humanitarian network, to launch the #ForClimate challenge, injecting new vitality into IFRC’s #FacesOfClimateChange global initiative.


From September 16th to 30th, TikTok users can raise awareness of climate change by using three specially designed stickers depicting extreme weather conditions: Rainstorm, Snowstorm and Global Warming.  


In addition, TikTok users can also take part in an interactive quiz where they can test their knowledge on environmental protection and share actions they have done to help end the climate crisis. The quiz consists of 15 questions including “"Should plastic bags be banned?" “"Will you buy used goods?" and beyond.


Dr Jemilah Mahmood, IFRC’s Under Secretary General for Partnerships, said:


“TikTok’s social platform is perfect for getting a serious message across in a way that’s thrilling, inspiring, and energetic. We’re looking forward to seeing young people bring their stories to a global audience.” 


Dr. Mahmood also shared her video #ForClimate on TikTok 






#ForClimate is a global campaign and users from 100+ countries and regions, including United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Poland, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and more can participate. 


“TikTok's global community allows users to express their creative ideas through short videos. We’re thrilled to partner with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) on the #ForClimate challenge, which empowers our community to creatively show their commitment to climate change and raise awareness for the importance of protecting our planet,” said Helena Lersch, Director of Public Policy, TikTok. 


By offering a home for creative expression and an experience that is genuine, joyful, and positive, TikTok is a great platform for driving initiatives on social responsibility. There has already been a series of “TikTok for Good” campaigns such as #SaveOurOceans demonstrating how TikTok users are taking action to protect the planet. 


On 22 September, a TikTok representative will join hands with IFRC to present at the 2019 UN Climate Change Summit. Download or open the TikTok app to creatively express your support for #ForClimate.

Slay Social Events with TikTok




TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile video, has partnered with Conservation International, to launch the #SaveOurOceans challenge. Conservation International works around the world to protect oceans and marine ecosystems – and the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on them.


The challenge spotlights the critical role of the world's oceans and what we can do to protect them for future generations. 


As a platform for creativity, TikTok users can show their support for ocean conservation through their short videos and raise awareness to protect our oceans for a better future. 


From August 26 to September 9, TikTok users can apply an ocean effect that lets them virtually "clean plastic" out of the ocean. For every video uploaded with the hashtag #SaveOurOceans, TikTok will donate $2 to Conservation International to help save 3,000 square kilometers of ocean (up to $100,000). #SaveOurOceans is a global campaign and users from countries and regions including: the US, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, India, Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Turkey, MENA, South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Chile can participate.


The ocean has a message for you: http://vm.tiktok.com/YYG4eu/


Join Shailene Woodley, Chierald Tan and TikTok creators around the globe to help #SaveOurOceans:


The ocean-themed challenge comes at a time when the world is grappling with a global plastic pollution situation. The UN estimates that the ingestion of plastic kills 1 million marine birds and 100,000 marine animals each year. Scientists predict that the weight of ocean plastics will exceed the combined weight of all of the fish in the seas by 2050.





“TikTok's global community allows users to showcase and enjoy creative, everyday moments through video. We’re thrilled to partner with Conservation International on the #SaveOurOceans challenge, which empowers our community to creatively show their commitment to clean oceans and raise awareness for the importance of protecting a global resource,” said Bryan Thoensen, Head of Content Partnerships, TikTok.  


"By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans. TikTok offers an imaginative platform that has the power to both educate and inspire users to take action. That's why we are partnering with TikTok and its global communities to address one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges and together, inspire a creative, call to action around protecting our oceans for a better future," said Conservation International Chief Marketing Officer Anastasia Khoo.

Save the Oceans with TikTok


Networking giant Cisco has sent 550 pink slips this weekend to employees of FLIP Video, the most popular hand held video camera in the US. I own a couple of these and I am also shocked about this decision by John Chambers and his men but this is apparently the only thing they can do in this situation. The Flip hasn't been selling well in the US Market since a lot of competitors also ventured into the same gadget. The price difference is huge with Flip pegged at under 200 dollars and the profit from it wasn't as it was expected to be. Though I have been a huge Flip Ultra user these past few years, I thought they were stable and can provide after sales support. They didn't concentrate on providing so and the technical issues of each unit were piling up. The forum was their only channel and things like these can't be manually fixed. They usually throw it out if it is broken. Not a good investment even for a cheap camera.

As for where those employees will go, no one knows but since it did perform poorly this year I hope their decision to move the UMI into enterprise would bear something good. A lot of UMI users already know how expensive the unit is and with that bundled with Verizon or whatnot for connections it'll be hard to recuperate from the losses the already incurred. If money from this project would not increase this year. UMI might be the next one to say goodbye.

In the meantime.. here's John Chambers calling ducks inside the office... LOL

Cisco Gives Up FLIP Video, Sends UMI to Enterprise

Cisco gave in and announced a new version of it's consumer grade UMI teleconference device. It was supposed to only cater to high end individuals but with dwindling sales and a great competitor by the name of LOGITECH the immediately released a 720p version, got their rates lower and made it work on lower bandwidth requirements. This has startled the network gurus of PC world and Engadget these past few days and they were all praises. Imagine how this would end up on people's living room in the next few years. The promos for partner Internet connection giants were also tempting prompting a great response from consumers in the US. They also had this service work across platforms such as their business grade teleconference services and Google.



People who have sampled this UMI technology just saw their favorite NBA superstars and did you see their reaction? Yeah it was like the person they were talking to was in the same room. This is the actual selling point of the UMI system and if they can deliver this pretty soon with no glitches it would earn the much needed money they invested in it making every Cisco shareholder happy.... your thoughts?!

Cisco Cuts UMI HD Video Conference Prices



It looks like CISCO came out with the latest thing to hit the SOHO market and the called it UMI (pronounced as YOU + ME) which is intended for teleconferencing and reuniting families in their own home. This probably was intended for high end consumers but if all the connections would be upgraded as specified in their specs (which calls for 3.5MBPS) it would be a huge opportunity to see people in HD quality video. Using the TV as a medium in this case was smart and people can send and receive video calls like what we do with web conference technologies. It definitely would be great for home use but the not quite so good news is you have to shell out $599 plus $25 per month in order to get one by November. It is so special since most of them have thought they'll wait for talks between CISCO and SKYPE in the beginning; but since John Chambers announced its release this week... it looks like this promising technology will be at homes in the coming months. I expect this to be a little cheaper just like any console or device that depreciates once more people have it. Tie ups from Verizon FIOS customers and Geek Squad will also make this easier to handle if they customers need help (for tech support).

As for rumors that CISCO buying out SKYPE in this particular field, that maybe still in the works because this technology wouldn't be too far behind to be enjoyed by ordinary people at home. The best thing about it is that SKYPE is free. SKYPE just got their software revved up making the video clearer and the software lighter for the ordinary PC/laptop to handle.

This package includes a camera, TV set-top box and a remote control. You guys in the US better order now at http://umi.cisco.com. I have it on my Christmas wish list now! =)

UMI - You and ME





I think I need to learn a couple of tricks in video editing. I have been a fan of a couple of Filipino videographers and I haven't tapped this side of my brain since last year. I always did a video right after a photoshoot but I guess I was too busy. It's a very complicated field and I need to know the basics. I might consider enrolling in video editing classes when my weekends free up around late this year.

That and the Spanish languages lesson that I'm planning to also take hahah. I've got a lot of things on my list.

Video editing is like a package with photography and since I have been serious about fashion I have to take matters in my own hands and get me some of these lessons too. Catching up is going to be hard but I need it so bad that I am willing to pay for it. If Adobe would not be able to perform well to the specifications of my laptop, I'll get another one just so I could get better at it.

Who knows?! I might get my own studio soon with all the lights and strobes that I'm wishing for today. If I get to have this as my business then so be it. I'll have to concentrate on the least priced things to buy first. The high ticket items will follow soon. Strobes are going to be one of them. I hear Tay Hua has some which are affordable, I'm probably going to check that out and the quality. Ask around Phipho and DPP.

Video Editing: Need to Learn More



I need a couple of files and music tracks so I could start editing my videos. I also need some templates and action files for PHOTOSHOP. The ones I saw on line were all being sold for a fee and I haven't been surfing that much to find the perfect treatments I have to do with the photos and videos I have right now. I stumbled upon a download forum called RAPIDSHARELIST.NET and it looks very promising. Now I have everything I need in one roof and even have other people to interact and ask when I need to do some effects but have problems with the software I downloaded. The latest music I enjoy is also linked there and I'm sure I would find the right song for my projects in no time!

There are a lot more communities that have some of the features that they have but this one is really complete. If I had to choose between paid and the free downloads that are available on that site, I'll choose this one and you know it!

I am actually downloading console games right now as we speak. This is just awesome!
