The first day of the IFA GPC 2018 comprises a series of power briefs by industry leaders and analysts on the latest trends and products in consumer electronics and home appliances. Here is a rundown on what transpired in those proceedings.
Day 1 of the IFA GPC 2018 kicks off with the MC, Dave Graveline, handing the mic over to Jens Heithecker, Executive Director (IFA) & EVP (Messe Berlin Group), for the opening address.

tech4xmas 2017 gift list: With the premiere of “The Last Jedi”, this Poe Dameron-inspired shaver (S$219) is an apt gift for the ardent Star Wars fan who wants everything in his life to be associated with the movie series. And as a wet and dry electric shaver, it gives a really close shave with its cutting-edge rotary technology.
The three shave heads flex in 8 different directions to catch 20% more hair with every pass.
Design and appearance wise the glossy SW6700/14 is based on the X-wing fighter that Poe Dameron pilots in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
I like the scratched metal finishing and red stripes.
This Poe Dameron-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW6700/14 is part of a trio of Star Wars themed limited edition shavers that Philips is selling in Singapore as part of a global collaboration with the movie franchise.
The other two models are the BB-8-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW5700/07 (S$149) and the Stormtrooper-inspired Philips Star Wars Shaver SW170/04 (S$109).
These shavers are only available in Singapore until 31 December, 2017 with the SW6700/14 available exclusively at Best Denki.
Adding a nice touch is the red X-wing symbol that flickers during use.
Trying out the shaver, I found the Reflex Action system on the shaver provided a speedy close shave.
As it is moved over the skin, the shaver’s eight-directional ContourDetect flex heads automatically recalibrates to the curves of my neck and face.
Throughout the shave, I didn’t feel any pulling or tugging – because of the shaver’s V-Track Precision Pro technology, which uses 72 self-sharpening V-shaped blades cutting at 151,000 times per minute.
According to Philips, this technology positions each hair in the best cutting position, even on a three-day stubble (mine was a two-day old stubble) for a shave 30% closer to the skin and in fewer strokes, cutting up to 20% more hair compared to Philips predecessor shaver models.

Hwee Seng Electronics launches in Singapore 6 models of air purifiers from AirFree. The air purifiers reduce ozone concentrations and destroy 99% of airborne allergens by burning microorganisms at the high temperature of a ceramic core.
The Lotus air purifier from AirFree, capable of covering 60 square metres of indoor space.
The purifiers are maintenance free as they do not use filters – as opposed to most HEPA-filter based air purifiers.
The heated air from the hot ceramic core is released back into the room through the top of the air purifier and cool air is sucked in through the air vents at the bottom of the air purifier because of convection currents.
The BabyAir air purifier from AirFree, able to cover 21 square metres in the baby’s room.
As a result, the AirFree purifiers do not use a motor like in most purifiers that suck air through a HEPA filter.
