TCL has been expanding its sports partnerships globally as a way of providing retail partners and consumers with a high-end sports and entertainment experience across its product lineup.

This partnership with the German Men’s National Football Team is the brand’s way of becoming more involved in a range of European competitive sports leagues.
“We are absolutely thrilled to join the national team family to support. We are living in the mobile era, and we do almost everything on the go. However, when we sit in front of the TV together with friends and family to watch our national team, we want to see it on a big screen TV. TCL invites you to the world of immersive viewing experiences like you feel that you are in the stadium together with the national team. Enjoy the best immersive moment with TCL’s new super big-inch TV series with the industry-leading 144Hz ultra-fast panel refresh rate panels to capture every speedy moment of the national team’s game. All the goal moments can be better reproduced with a bigger TV screen,” said Carlos Li, General Manager of TCL Industries Europe Business Group in a press release.
Dreo Launches Smart Humidifier Series
Smart home appliance brand Dreo launched a line of smart humidifiers that promote a healthy living environment. The Dreo Humidifier Series contains three humidifiers powered by proprietary Mistwave technology, with features like a smart control and monitoring system, accurate humidity detection, and a range of enhanced safety features.
Mistwave generates 2.4MHz of ultrasonic waves for high-frequency water atomization, enabling the humidifier to emit a fine mist that avoids the formation of wet patches, thereby reducing the risk of mold growth in the home. The humidity chip in Dreo’s humidifiers offers precise and reliable humidity detection. The smart humidifiers deliver real-time, 24-hour, and 30-day humidity reports for users. Users can also set up to ten different humidifying schedules, which remain functional with or without an internet connection. Dreo’s humidifiers feature NTC+fuse double protection, water shortage protection, boil dry protection and overheat protection to ensure the humidifiers are safe and reliable for everyday use.
Each model in the series comes with features that will enhance every living environment. The HM713S has cool and warm mist functions with a PTC heater as the heating element. The HM512S features a demineralization cartridge that effectively absorbs calcium and magnesium ion minerals in water. The H-Type Ion Exchange Technique inhibits the generation of scale and reduces the generation of white powder, promoting a clean and healthy humidification. Finally, the HM311S has a wide mist design that makes humidification more efficient for all spaces.
