Featuring Unique, Color-changing Door Panels, the Innovative ‘MoodUP’ Fridge Revolutionizes the User Experience
BERLIN, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its groundbreaking MoodUP refrigerator with color-changing LED door panels at IFA 2022. Following up the recent launch of LG’s ‘always-evolving’ upgradable appliances, and the introduction of the ultra-elegant LG Objet Collection, the new fridge serves as yet another example of the company’s ability to respond to – and create – new trends in the home appliance space. The unique MoodUP, equipped with LG’s advanced refrigeration and smart technologies for better food freshness and enhanced convenience, also delivers a completely new kitchen experience, allowing users to choose a wide range of vibrant colors to its LED doors and play music via its built-in speaker as per their personal tastes and moods.
With its innovative LED door panels, LG’s MoodUP refrigerator presents unrivaled interior design flexibility and a new way to create a stylish, integrated kitchen. Through the LG ThinQ app, users can choose from 22 colors for the upper door panel and 19 colors for the lower, giving them the ability to change the look of the fridge and their kitchen environment. Users can also customize the panels’ appearance and refresh the mood by applying various, evocative color themes including Season, Place, Mood and Pop. Using the tones and hues of nature, Season represents different times of year, while Mood elicits a feeling of wellbeing through the use of soft, soothing colors.
In addition to its stunning, changeable colors, LG’s new refrigerator provides excellent sound via a built-in Bluetooth speaker that can be easily connected to a smartphone, tablet or laptop. Users can match their mood – or the fridge’s current color or theme – with songs from their favorite music streaming apps, or from the Music Collection playlist on the ThinQ app. What’s more, when the speaker is playing audio, the MoodUP’s LED panels can change colors in sync with the music, adding a sense of liveliness and fun to users’ time in the kitchen.
LG’s revolutionary, new fridge also boasts user-friendly features, such as convenient and colorful notifications. When the refrigerator’s door sensor detects that the fridge compartment has been left open for too long, the panel on the door left open blinks repeatedly; letting users know that the door needs closing and helping to prevent cold air loss and unnecessary energy consumption. And when the MoodUP’s motion sensors detect that someone is approaching, both panels blink in welcome. The fridge even makes things easier at night time, its freezer door glowing brighter to help midnight snackers find and open the door.
With its LED door panels switched off, the MoodUP refrigerator offers a combination of Lux Gray and Lux White for a more traditional look in the kitchen. The chic, timeless finish harmonizes with any décor and evokes the natural, subtle contrast of different colored stones.
LG’s game-changing, new fridge also applies the company’s own On-Device AI chip for smart home appliances. Integrating advanced AI, the module enables the MoodUP to improve and extend the user experience with features such as upgraded voice recognition and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
“We at LG have always found exciting, new ways to move the customer experience forward and we are proud to do it again with the brand-new MoodUP refrigerator,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “Bringing color, music and convenience to the kitchen, and incorporating LG’s cutting-edge technologies and innovative design features, this unique refrigerator demonstrates our continuing commitment to delivering a better life at home.”
Visitors to IFA 2022 (September 2-6) can experience all of LG’s latest innovations, including the MoodUP refrigerator, at the company’s booth in Hall 18, Messe Berlin.

Featuring improved sports features, enhanced 24-hour health management, industry-leading GPS technology and refined designs, the new Amazfit smartwatches are Smart Fitness Made Easy.
BERLIN, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Amazfit, a leading global smart wearables brand of Zepp Health (NYSE: ZEPP), has launched the fourth generation of its GTR and GTS series at IFA 2022 in Berlin. The new watches feature the industry-leading circularly-polarized GPS antenna technology that enables high-precision positioning[1], advanced sports features, and large HD AMOLED displays – all packed into stylish designs.
AMAZFIT GTR 4 AND GTS 4
Featuring upgraded sports and health features, the Amazfit GTR 4 and GTS 4 smartwatches are designed to inspire a professional and active lifestyle. The watches aim to help users stay healthy and track their daily activities and performance.
ADVANCED SPORTS FEATURES
The brand-new Amazfit watches are embedded with 150+ sports modes and advanced fitness features, allowing sports enthusiasts to track data for all kinds of activities. The new series also automatically recognises eight sports modes and integrates a new advanced Track Run mode and newly added Golf Swing mode. Meanwhile, users can sync their workout data to Strava, and adidas Running soon, thanks to a new partnership between Amazfit and adidas Runtastic.
The watches are the perfect gym companions, with smart recognition of 15 strength training exercises (increasing to 25 after firmware update) allowing them to automatically count the user’s reps, sets and rest time. Personalised templates for interval training[2] for 10 different sports can also be created directly on the watch display, and the brand’s self-developed PeakBeats Workout Status Algorithm will provide performance data like VO₂ Max after any workout is completed.
UNMATCHED NAVIGATION
Both GTR 4 and GTS 4 devices are the industry’s first smartwatches to include dual-band circularly-polarised GPS antenna technology, bringing high positioning signal strength even in complex environments.
The newly upgraded GPS technology supports five satellite systems, and allows wearers to track their movements in real-time. In a future firmware update, the technology will support six satellite systems. The watches will also soon support importing route files from the Zepp App, which can be navigated in real-time, directly on the watch.
ENHANCED HEALTH TRACKING AND MANAGEMENT
The new self-developed BioTracker 4.0 PPG optical sensor is enhanced to 2LED and collects 33% more data than the previous generation. When combined with the watches’ upgraded heart rate tracking algorithm, potential signal interference caused by arm movement during exercise is greatly reduced, resulting in heart rate tracking almost on-par with heart rate belts.
These Amazfit devices can monitor heart rate, blood-oxygen saturation and stress levels 24/7, and can quickly test these three metrics – plus breathing rate – in only 45 seconds with a single touch, thanks to the One-tap Measuring function.
The watches also provide a large number of additional health features, including improved sleep monitoring. Users now can create their own Sleep Schedule according to their sleep habits, and the device will identify sleep based on this. So users with night shifts will now be able to monitor their total sleep and sleep stages even during daytime with a sleep schedule set.
POWERFUL BATTERY AND SMART ASSISTANCE
The Amazfit GTR 4 can last for ultra-long 14 days with typical usage. Meanwhile, the Amazfit GTS 4 also packs a powerful battery that can last over one whole week with typical usage, into its super slim body.
These Amazfit watches have the Alexa Voice Assistant[3] built-in for online voice commands, as well as music storage and stand-alone music playback hands-free workouts. It also features a built-in speaker and the ability to broadcast real-time sports mode data like heart rate, workout duration and distance, and even hydration reminders via the speaker or the user’s Bluetooth headphones.
REFINED DESIGN
The fourth generation of the Amazfit GTR and GTS series comes in various colour palettes, bringing style, texture and compactness.
The Amazfit GTR 4 blends a high-end design that includes an industry-leading anti-glare glass bezel cover, metallic middle frame, and sports car-inspired classic crown – making it the perfect companion for those who want to look stylish at the office. The smartwatch also boasts more than 200 watch faces with matching always-on designs, including 30+ animated and four new interactive watch faces.

The extended array of downloadable mini apps has also added “Baby Records”, which allows users to record their baby’s sleep and feeding times, plus two brand-new downloadable games, along with the GoPro and Home Connect third-party apps.

QINGDAO, China, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Hisense has joined forces with FIFA, through its Football for Schools programme, to help increase environmental awareness among children in South Africa.
Football for Schools, a global programme to make football more accessible and fun to children by incorporating football into education, was launched in South Africa on 24 August at an event in Johannesburg.
In recent years, climate change has affected South Africa, which has affected people’s lives, and caused the loss of many green football pitches. In response, FIFA has collaborated with Hisense around the South Africa launch, hoping to bring the joy of football to children while helping build a greener and environmentally friendly future for the next generation.
Hisense organized an educational workshop that included an interactive session with children, coaches, and FIFA ambassadors. The customized session provided children with more practical eco-friendly knowledge and tips through engaging games. In a fun question and answer session, Hisense shared tips on saving the disappearing pitches to raise children’s environmental protection awareness and inspire them to save more green pitches. The event ended with participants, including children and FIFA Legend Yaya Touré, creating the environmental painting “My Dream Pitch”.
Hisense also donated high-tech devices to provide a more enjoyable educational experience, such as Hisense’s eye-friendly tablet, a Hisense 100-inch Laser TV, and Interactive Digital Boards.
FIFA legend Portia Modise was present to support the Football for Schools project.
“Raising awareness, particularly among children, is a key to tackling climate change and environmental issues in the future,” said Fatimata Sidibe, Director of Football for Schools. “Football is an ideal way to do this, and this initiative in South Africa, which combines enjoyment with education, is a clear example of how football can play a role in improving society and empowering children.”
“At Hisense, we are committed to the concept of establishing a more sustainable and better living environment for all through our initiatives and technology,” said Wei Liu, General Manager of Hisense South Africa & Vice President of Hisense Middle East & Africa. “Through this collaboration with FIFA and Hisense, we successfully raised global environmental awareness and underlined the impact of climate change on everyday life through fun activities that engage kids together and create a greener future.”
Over the years, Hisense has extensively focused on ESG sustainable development concepts to build a better world. Through this cooperation with FIFA, Hisense further enhanced children’s well-being and society´s sustainable development.
Football for Schools (F4S), launched in 2019, is an ambitious programme that aims to contribute to children’s education, development, and empowerment worldwide. It seeks to make football more accessible to boys and girls worldwide by incorporating football activities into the education system in partnership with relevant authorities.
CAIRO, Sept. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — During the Solar Show MENA 2022, Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage system supplier for renewables, for the first time brought its comprehensive solar plus storage solutions to the MENA region, which, matched with Sungrow’s mature post-service network, and deep partnership with trusted players in MENA’s renewable energy industry, will help solidify its leading position in this market. The contracting and delivery of several flagship projects also bear a strong testimonial to Sungrow’s brand competitiveness in the MENA region.

In addition, the SG320HX has been successfully applied in Jubail 3A Independent Water Plant’s (IWP)45.75 MW PV project, which will begin commissioning in Q4 2022.
This desirable region for utility-scale solar projects also creates great potential for Energy Storage System’s applications. Hence, Sungrow launches the innovative Liquid-Cooled ESS-PowerTitan, which safeguards the plant’s safety and reliability with innovative liquid-cooled technologies while lowering LCOS with highly-integrated design and cluster-level energy management. Moreover, driven by the recent unstable and expensive power supply in some MENA countries, Sungrow also presented its residential and C&I solutions including the SH6.0RS and SBR096 batteries, SG110CX and more to satisfy the urgent demand of the regional local communities to power life and business.
Sungrow’s market-leading position is also testified by its supply and delivery of several unprecedented projects in MENA. It supplied the 500MW Ibri II project in Oman, the 800MW AI Kharsaah project in Qatar, the 900MW DEWA V project in the UAE, and the 1.612GW project in KSA, all contributing to the accomplishment of 6GW+ installation by far. “Since Sungrow’s MENA branch was established, we have taken the initiative in supplying several landmark and game-changing projects. As the market expands and intensifies, we are proactively strategizing this region’s residential and C&I markets and offering a comprehensive portfolio to satisfy various demands. Moreover, the local team based in Dubai is active in holding channel meetings, seminars, and other exchanges with influential players in this region to strengthen our brand awareness,” stated Alvin Shi, Managing Director of Sungrow’s MENA Region.
