Acer today announced a broad expansion of its consumer product portfolio during its next@acer global press conference at IFA. It included various additions to its Iconia X and Iconia A series tablets, a pair of elegant monitors from amadana, the high-performance Acer CE270U Z OLED display, and the Acer Connect T36 Wi-Fi 7 Dual-Band Mesh Router – all designed to elevate how people work, learn, and stay connected.


Acer Iconia X Series Tablets

The Iconia X series tablets are crafted to support both productivity and entertainment, powered by Android, vivid displays, and AI-enabled features that enhance everyday experiences.

The Acer Iconia X12 (X12-21M) features a vibrant 12.6-inch WQXGA (2560x1600) AMOLED display, 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 nits peak brightness, and a smooth 60 Hz refresh rate, producing striking visuals and responsive touch with in-cell technology. Housed in a remarkably lightweight profile weighing just 500 g and covered in a matte black finish, it invokes a premium style and feel. The device runs on a MediaTek Helio G99 processor with 8 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB expandable storage (up to 1 TB via microSD slot) and offers up to 16 hours1 of battery life.

Capturing precious moments as they appear, even in low-light conditions, is made easy on its 13 MP rear camera with flash technology. Video calls and selfies also appear true-to-life with the 5 MP front camera. Quad stereo speakers round out the audio and communication experiences, while dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS tracking, and a USB PD 2.0 Type-C port ensure reliable connectivity.


The Iconia X12 tablet is also available with optional accessories - a stylus pen for on-the-spot note-taking and creativity, a detachable keyboard offering seamless typing and navigation, and a magnetic kickstand that props up the tablet for hands-free use and versatile viewing angles.

The Acer Iconia X14 (X14-M1N)’s large viewing canvas is a 14-inch FHD (1200x1920) OLED display with wide viewing angles and a refined ZeroFrame design. Its processor features a built-in NPU, paired with up to 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage, expandable up to 1 TB. The device integrates new AI features for avid tablet users, such as “AI Smart Sensing” for gesture-based control and posture tips, “AI Super Resolution”, which automatically upscales video quality, and “Smile Camera” that instantly snaps shots when a smile or an “OK” gesture is detected. Plus, its 8 MP rear camera with flash and 5 MP front camera deliver sharp photos and selfies.

Reliable battery life and connectivity are supported by up to 10 hours1 of battery life, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and a USB Type-C 2.0 port, and is housed in a durable Iron Gray chassis with a built-in kickstand.

Acer Iconia A Series Tablets

Joining the new lineup are the Iconia A16 (A16-M1N) and Iconia A14 (A14-M1N) tablets, which offer a great balance of performance, vibrant displays, long battery life, and AI-powered features for work and media consumption.

Both run on Android 15 and come equipped with up to 8 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of expandable UFS 3.1 storage. Powered by processors with built-in NPUs, these tablets bring AI capabilities directly to the device, enabling smarter and more intuitive interactions, with AI Smart Sensing, AI Super Resolution, and Smile Camera.

The devices feature 16- and 14-inch FHD resolution (1200x1920) IPS displays, with ZeroFrame designs and wide viewing angles to provide immersive experiences. They also integrate a tripod-style kickstand directly into the tablet’s design, eliminating the need for additional accessories and allowing the devices to be propped up when needed. They also feature 8 MP rear cameras with flash, 5 MP front cameras, and offer up to 10 hours of use. With dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4, users can enjoy faster downloads, lower latency, and more stable connections—even in crowded networks.

Additionally, the Iconia X and Iconia A series tablets feature Acer Screen Casting, turning each device into a versatile wireless display for laptops via Wi-Fi. Whether working on creative projects, giving presentations, streaming content, or multitasking, Acer Screen Casting enables a clean, clutter-free setup across the entire lineup.

 

Debuting amadana Monitors

Acer showcased two new monitors under its amadana brand, known for its minimalist and timeless aesthetics rooted in Japanese design philosophy. These displays combine elegant craftsmanship with fluid performance, delivering a refined balance of style and visual clarity.

The amadana 16APM1QJ is an ultra-thin 15.6-inch portable monitor featuring a vivid IPS panel with wide viewing angles. Weighing just 0.65 kg and supported by a built-in stand with up to a 90°tilt and mini-HDMI and USB Type-C input signals, it’s a versatile companion for productivity and entertainment.

Its 99% color gamut range support, dual input options (HDMI and VGA), ultra-thin build and small dock for accessories make it a versatile centerpiece for any work or home setup.

The Acer CE27OU Z is a 26.5-inch OLED monitor with a stunning 2560x1440 resolution and a blazing 280 HZ refresh rate. Content creators, movie buffs, and gamers alike will appreciate its production of ultrasmooth visuals, with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro tear technology support, fast 0.03 ms response time, 1,000 nits peak brightness in HDR mode, and 99% DCI-P3 color gamut support.

Acer Medical Launches aiMed at IFA 2025: Pioneering the Future of AI Healthcare

 

Acer Medical, an Acer Group company specializing in medical imaging and AI-powered healthcare solutions, unveiled aiMed, its next-generation generative AI medical documentation system at the next@acer global press conference, ahead of IFA 2025 in Berlin. The milestone underscores Acer Medical’s expanding global footprint and its commitment to transforming healthcare through AI and digital innovation.

aiMed directly addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern healthcare —clinical documentation overload. On average, healthcare providers spend up to 25% of their working hours [1] on medical record keeping, reducing valuable time for patient care and contributing significantly to burnout.

Leveraging advanced real-time AI processing tailored specifically for healthcare purposes, aiMed converts voice dictation or typed notes into structured electronic medical records (EMRs). This ensures accuracy, completeness, and compliance with healthcare documentation standards, while streamlining the clinical workflow.

By automating this task, aiMed enhances efficiency and helps:

        Reduce the administrative workload for healthcare professionals

        Minimize documentation errors in medical records

        Maintain interoperability with hospital information systems (HIS / EMR platforms)

        Enhance patient safety and quality of care by allowing more time for physician-patient interactions

Purpose-built for healthcare environments, aiMed’s ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) function incorporates specialized medical terminology and contextual understanding. Its secure cloud-based architecture further ensures data protection.

Acer Medical also provides the VeriSee platform, an AI-assisted ophthalmology analysis platform. It can integrate multiple existing and new AI modules, allowing doctors to select and use them based on different clinical needs. The platform supports the following AI modules:

        VeriSee DR: Diabetic Retinopathy

        VeriSee AMD: Age-related Macular Degeneration

        VeriSee GLC: Glaucoma Suspect

VeriSee analyzes color retinal images and delivers results within seconds. This allows hospitals and clinics to perform rapid and accurate screening, enabling timely interventions for high-risk patients and improving preventive care outcomes. The VeriSee solutions is now deployed in over 500 clinics and hospitals across 14 international markets.

Acer Medical is committed to driving innovation that enhances healthcare efficiency, reduces the burden on medical professionals, and improves patient outcomes worldwide. By combining generative AI for medical documentation with AI-powered screening tools, the company aims to redefine digital healthcare and accelerate the global adoption of smart, sustainable medical solutions.

 

HUAWEI Launches FreeBuds SE 4 ANC: Powerful Noise Cancellation Made Accessible

 

HUAWEI is leveling up everyday listening with the launch of the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC, making powerful noise cancellation more accessible to everyone.

Building on the success of the previous HUAWEI FreeBuds SE Series, the new HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC marks the most significant upgrade yet. With the introduction of a powerful three-level Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature delivering up to 50 dB noise reduction and an impressive 50-hour long battery life, it represents the biggest leap from its predecessor, the FreeBuds SE 3.

Keep Distractions Out In Every Setting with Smart Active Noise Cancellation

With up to 50 dB noise cancellation depth, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC adapts to users’ environment with three Active Noise Cancellation modes tailored to different listening environments. Ultra Mode blocks out the loudest distractions, perfect when riding packed trains or buses, or studying in a noisy dorm. General Mode offers a balance of comfort and noise reduction for moderately noisy spaces like cafés or open offices, and malls. Cozy Mode reduces subtle background hum for quieter settings, such as home study sessions and late library research.

When users need to stay aware, Awareness Mode lets ambient sound in so they can catch important campus announcements, hear approaching vehicles while crossing the street, or respond quickly when a colleague calls their name during a team project.

For conversations, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC ensures users' voices are heard clearly in every setting. Call performance has been enhanced with a leap from a single-mic setup to a triple-mic call noise cancellation system with wind noise resistance up to 5 m/s, keeping calls crystal-clear and professional, whether taking a work meeting during a windy outdoor walk or joining an online class while commuting.

Touch-gesture controls allow volume adjustments, track changes, and playback management without reaching for a screen. The HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC helps users stay focused on tasks while enjoying music or podcasts and conveniently switch between music quickly when working out or jogging with no interruptions.

 

Beat Low-Battery Anxiety with Long Lasting Power and a 10-Minute Quick Charge

 

The HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC keeps the music and calls going with up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 50 hours total when paired with its charging case[1] making it a significant upgrade from the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 3’s 42 hours. Even if listening to music for 7 hours a day, it won’t need charging for an entire week of busy commutes, back-to-back classes, or long workdays without the hassle of constantly looking for a charger.

 

When rushing to school or the office and the ANC earbuds are dead on battery, a quick 10-minute charge gives up to 4 hours of listening[2], enough to power through a morning commute, a study session, or a workout. In just minutes, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC is ready to keep users' day filled with music, calls, and connection for hours.

 

Take On All-Day Activities with Quality Tested Comfort, Connection and Durability

 

Based on insights from over 10,000 ear canal samples, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC is shaped to provide a secure, ergonomic fit. It has refined the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE Series original open-fit design into a new in-ear design. Each earbud weighs only 4.3g which makes it lighter than an A4 paper, offering a pressure-free feel that stays comfortable from morning classes to late-night work sessions. It comes with three sizes of soft silicone tips, which ensure a personalized seal that not only improves comfort but also boosts noise cancellation to help users stay immersed in their listening.

 

Thumbnail preview for the linked URL.

 

With Bluetooth 5.4 the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC ensures a stable, low-latency connection for smooth listening and calling across different environments. Its broad compatibility with HarmonyOS, Android, and iOS means it works seamlessly with the devices users already own, whether pairing it with a laptop for a video call or a smartphone for music.

 

These noise cancellation earbuds are SGS-certified, meaning they were internationally tested and passed 26 stringent durability tests. It also has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, making them sweat resistant for intense gym workouts or enjoying a jog outside. Created with a classic minimalist design available in Black or White, the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC fits seamlessly into any look from a casual hoodie to a crisp office outfit for workdays, or compact travel gear for a weekend getaway.

 

HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC: The Best Noise Cancelling Earbuds with 50-Hour Battery Life Under PHP 2,000

 

The HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC is a major leap for the series, bringing powerful upgrades like superior noise cancellation, all-week battery life, and dependable quality together in one compact device. These ANC earbuds have everything needed for daily focus, comfort, and ease, setting a new standard as the best earbuds with noise cancellation you can get under PHP 2,000.

 

Stay tuned for the HUAWEI FreeBuds SE 4 ANC, available starting September 8, 2025 at 8:00 PM exclusive on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, and the HUAWEI Online Store.
