This year, the main trend of the Berlin exhibition IFA 2018 again became the notorious Internet of Things - Internet of Things, which is still implemented as the integration of all household devices into a single network. From the "Eternal Top", we note the emergence of new, more economical models of technology, as well as a further increase in the resolution of televisers - now up to 8k.
TVs
TVs showing screen resolution up to 8k (7680 × 4320) - the main hit of the season 2018. Among the first manufacturers that submitted new models are Samsung. Their TV in addition to the highest permission (which is 16 times higher than the permission of Full HD) is also characterized by excellent image scaling. The Q900R model has 8K AI Upscaling technology. It allows you to improve the quality of both images and sound to an unprecedented early level, and it is regardless of the original quality of the picture. Another bonus: Optical connection and power are connected in one low-charming cable, so that you can position external devices on the TV, without spoiling the interior.

This type of connection is the most important thing that distinguishes the model 2018. That's what it means: the power cable and the optical signal cable are connected to one small wire that connects the TV with the One Connect module, which allows you to abandon extra wires and save the aesthetics created by the designer Rooms.
Samsung also updated the previously presented line of interior TVs The Frame. In addition to the UHD resolution and Smart TV functions, it is characterized by design: putting your TV to the "picture" mode, the TV turned off will be similar to the work of art in the frame (the artists or photographs can be shown on it, but so that the feeling of the included contrasting Screen). Painting and graphics can be chosen to your taste: in a special application called "Art Shop" The Frame, more than 800 options are available.

The main novelty among video equipment at the exhibition were TVs with ultra-high screen resolution 8k
LG introduced its version of the 8K device, the world's first OLED TV with such a large resolution. The screen with 33 million pixels provides excellent resolution and reproduction of the finest shades of black.
Audio equipment
In parallel with TVs, there is a development and playback tools of high-quality video and audio. So, Panasonic has released a fundamentally new device - a UHD-Blu-ray player, reproducing records in the UHD resolution, as well as supporting a new, advanced video recorder HDR10 +, developed in conjunction with Amazon and Samsung. To play audio Panasonic offers SC-UA30 wireless audio system, which, despite compact size, provides a full-fledged sound and a powerful 300-watt sound.

Not left aside and companies traditionally engaged in sound. Thus, Hama showed the Soundbar for the Sirium 4000 home theater. As with serious techniques, the Sirium 4000 model provides the highest quality surround sound, an acoustic system with a wireless connection, and the ALEXA voice control option.

Washing clothes
Perhaps the greatest number of new products are presented in the segment of washing machines and refrigerators. And this is not surprising, all this is a complex technique, in which much can be improved. Take at least a samsung washing machine with Quick Drive technology. Technically Quick Drive is a rotational mechanism in which the drum is rotated in one direction, and the end part with the blades to another. Similar complicated nodes used to meet except at helicopters. But this design provides intense, but delicate effects on linen and increases the efficiency of the process, reducing its duration. In addition, these washing machines have an Add Wash technology: the door has a hatch for long loading both small and large things during washing.

From Italian household appliances manufacturers, we note Candy with a washing machine Rapid'Ò. This technique justifies its "rapid" name, as it allows you to produce high-class washing of any type of fabric for 39 minutes. In addition, due to the high location of the door Rapid'Ò becomes more convenient for loading and unloading linen.

Storage of products
From refrigerators in the Samsung pavilion, the Family Hub line is especially interesting (in Russia is not yet presented) and Spacemax. Spacemax are advanced two-chamber refrigerators with an inverter compressor, which, with standard sizes (width 59.5 cm, height 201 cm) have a full useful amount of 410 liters. At the same time, the extendable shelf-transformer Easy Slide is easily shifted, folds and rises for convenient storage of large dishes and high bottles. Family Hub - Futuristic Technique: acts as a center of smart home, allowing you to control the washing machine, vacuum cleaner, oven and even air conditioning using a large touch screen located on the refrigerator. Also with it, you can watch the weather, study recipes or leave electronic "stickers" for family members.

LG wants to mention primarily a new CENTUM SYSTEM refrigerator with a lower freezer. A number of technical improvements (first of all inverter linear compressor Inverter Linear Compressor) made it possible to reduce energy consumption and achieve an Energy Efficiency Class A +++ - 40. This means that the refrigerator uses 40% less electricity compared to class A +++ models. In addition, the new compressor works 25% quieter than the compressors of the previous series.

Cooking and washing dishes
Modified Samsung and the oven. The door in the Dual Cook Flex line consists of two parts, and it can be opened entirely or convert the upper part. It is very convenient with the simultaneous preparation of two different dishes: you can control the preparation of the upper dish without disturbing the process of cooking the bottom; In addition, the fragrance from the bottom section will not fall into the upper.

In the Miele Pavilion among new products - a series of dishwashers with an automatic dosing system Autodos (before that, a similar system was used in washing machines). The detergent is loaded into a special device, the PowerDisk disk installed on the inner surface of the door. One disk refill is enough for 20 washing cycles. All that is required by the user is to download and unload the car and periodically replace PowerDisk. In addition, new dishwashers can be controlled by the application and program from the mobile device.

Among the cooking panels are mentioned NEW AEG - the world's first induction cooking surface of SENSECOOK with a wireless thermospectorate. Thanks to the thermacle, the cook with an accuracy of the degree will be able to determine the temperature inside the dish prepared and achieve the optimal quality of temperature processing.

Small household appliances, as always, attended the exhibition in a large assortment, but differed in the main design. From technical innovations, you can select a compact device for preparing dishes using Su-type technology (Sous Vide - method of cooking in vacuum packaging and at a relatively low temperature) from WMF. Until now, such a technique was represented only in an embedded format.

In the future, the Internet will be in the Internet for household appliances as commonplace as, say, the control panel
Automation and smart things
Almost all major manufacturers of household appliances showed their internet options at the exhibition. For example, using the Samsung Family Hub refrigerator, users can not only send SMS messages and view electronic documents on the screen, but also use the application to select a suitable recipe based on the set of stored products. In addition, the refrigerator tracks the loading of products and the storage time and when it has expired, it will give you the message to your phone. Also, the refrigerator is equipped with an internal camcorder, and the user can, for example, look directly from the store, how many of these or other products remains.

In the Bosch Pavilion, Home Connect technology has been represented by a smart refrigerator with the identification function of products. This is no longer fantasy - the Bosch model is able to recognize 60 types of fruits and vegetables and provide recommendations for their placement and preservation.
The technique becomes smarter and at the expense of it with additional sensors and sensors that allow you to more accurately determine the environmental parameters. For example, Bosch on the stands presents digital video cameras for smart home, which can be installed for additional monitoring. In turn, companies come to the IFA exhibition for the second year in a row - manufacturers of outdoor equipment, which were not present at this exhibition, such as Busch Jaeger, Assa Abloy (door locks), Somfy (window curtains and blinds). However, it is not surprising - the integration of electrical installation products and household equipment provides the expansion of the functionality of the technique and the automation of its operation.
