AWOL LuxVision Goes Big at IFA 2026 With 4K 120Hz, 6,000 ISO Lumens, and a 200″ Picture

AWOL Vision is using IFA 2026 to introduce the AWOL LuxVision, a flagship ultra-short-throw projector built around a combination that should interest home theater fans who want a huge picture without dedicating half the room to projector placement. LuxVision pairs 4K resolution at 120Hz with 6,000 ISO lumens, RGB triple-laser illumination, vertical optical lens shift, and a 0.18:1 throw ratio. It can project an 80″ to 200″ image, with AWOL listing a 120″ picture from just 7.5″ away. Pricing hasn’t been announced, and availability is expected around October 2026, so some important buying questions remain open.

POCO F9 Ultra Goes Big on Battery, Gaming, Cameras, and Just About Everything Else

The POCO F9 Ultra arrives with a spec sheet that suggests restraint never made it onto the meeting agenda. The POCO F9 Ultra packs an 8,050 milliamp-hour battery, a 185-hertz AMOLED display, a 200-megapixel main camera, a 5X periscope telephoto camera, 100-watt wired charging, 50-watt wireless charging, Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon processor, and even an independent subwoofer. That’s a lot of hardware for one phone, but specifications are easy. The more useful question is whether the POCO F9 Ultra turns all those numbers into a phone you’ll enjoy carrying, charging, photographing with, and living with every day.

Cuisinart Freeze Ease Pro 1.5qt Ice Cream Maker Review: Great Ice Cream, No Freezer Bowl, No Planning Ahead

The Cuisinart Freeze Ease Pro is the company’s answer to the biggest limitation of its own ice cream makers: the frozen bowl. Instead of a canister you have to plan a day ahead for, it has a built-in compressor that chills the bowl on demand. That convenience costs $379.95, roughly four times what a standard Cuisinart freezer-bowl model runs. We spent several weeks making ice cream with it, including an ice cream cake for a birthday, to find out whether the compressor earns the jump in price.
