Anker has used IFA 2026 to reveal a new generation of locally powered smart-home products, advanced eufy robots and charging gear designed to actively protect device batteries. The announcements arrive alongside Anker’s decision to gradually bring eufy, soundcore, SOLIX and eufyMake together under the Anker name, creating one brand across its growing hardware ecosystem.

Anker MindBase

MindBase brings Anker’s vision for the central brain of the smart home to market, combining device connectivity, local AI processing and expandable storage in one hub. Its EasyOmni Link platform connects Anker products and Matter-compatible devices from other brands, with support for Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Home Assistant.

The MindBase is set to become the hub of your smarthome

TrueSmart AI agents can manage areas such as security and network-attached storage, while EverSafe Memory provides up to 48TB of expandable local storage. Processing can occur at home and continue without an internet connection, helping to keep sensitive household data out of the cloud.

Anker MindBase Security Kit

The first complete system powered by MindBase will be the MindBase Security Kit. Anker says its locally operated AI can assess identity, behaviour, location and intent while filtering up to 99 per cent of unnecessary security alerts.

The system includes the TrackLight Cam S1, combining an automatic tracking light with a 4K telephoto camera, and the Video Doorbell S4, which provides a panoramic 180-degree view.

Smart Security Shield uses dual radar to detect approaching strangers, while DSKey technology can recognise friends and family from as far as 30 metres away. MindBase will also support many existing eufy security products, with HomeBase S380 users able to transfer their existing footage to the new hub.

Anker eufy NVR Security System E50

The eufy NVR Security System E50 combines a fixed 2K camera with a motorised 4K PTZ lens.

The NVR system supports AI tracking and operates over PoE

It offers 360-degree AI tracking, automatic framing and reliable continuous recording over PoE. Red-and-blue warning lights provide an additional visible deterrent when suspicious activity is detected.

Anker eufy Robot Vacuum Omni E35

The Omni E35 pairs a substantial 35,000Pa of suction with Anker’s HydroJet 2.0 roller-mopping system, which continuously cleans the mop using fresh water.

The Omni E35

An extending mop and side brush help it reach walls and corners, while the robot can cross obstacles up to 30mm high. Its all-in-one station washes the mop with hot water, empties collected dust and automatically refills detergent. The E35 has also earned certifications relating to bacterial removal, allergy-friendly cleaning and performance in homes with infants.

Anker eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15 Gen 2

The second-generation E15 delivers automated lawn care without requiring boundary wires or an external RTK positioning station.

Its TrueVision camera system maps the lawn in real time and recognises more than 500 types of obstacles. Hardware and software improvements extend its coverage to approximately 1,000 square metres per charge, around 25 per cent more than the original model. It can also communicate with compatible eufy security cameras, allowing the mower to pause if another device detects nearby activity.

Anker eufy Robot Lawn Mower S2 Max

Designed for larger and more challenging properties, the S2 Max is Anker’s first robot mower developed entirely in-house.

The Mower S2 Max has great capabilities across varied terrain

Its vision-based navigation creates a live 3D map without boundary wires or RTK. An extending cutting arm trims closer to lawn edges, while all-wheel drive allows the mower to tackle slopes of up to 80 per cent, or approximately 38 degrees.

Anker claims the S2 Max can map and mow areas covering as much as 15,000 square metres, making it particularly interesting for larger Australian and New Zealand properties.

Anker MagGo Power Bank Pro 2

The 10,000mAh MagGo Power Bank Pro 2 tackles one of the biggest problems with fast wireless charging: heat.

Delivery of 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging will keep even the most power hungry phones and users topped up

It is Anker’s first magnetic power bank with a built-in cooling fan, using dual air ducts and graphene heat distribution to remain below 36 degrees Celsius while charging. Its 25W Qi2.2 wireless output can take an iPhone 17 Pro to 50 per cent in 25 minutes.

The power bank itself can recover 80 per cent of its capacity in 52 minutes. A smart display shows battery level, power output, temperature and estimated charging time, while a 45W USB-C connection can power devices such as a MacBook Air.

Anker Laptop Charger Pro

The 100W Laptop Charger Pro goes beyond simply delivering power by identifying the connected laptop and adjusting its charging behaviour. Anker claims full compatibility with Macs and support for more than 90 per cent of Windows laptops after installing its desktop application.

100W power delivery to devices means this can power even top end hardware

Care Mode applies a device-specific charging curve and an 80 per cent limit intended to reduce battery degradation. Anker says this could extend battery lifespan by more than 40 per cent. The accompanying software also provides firmware updates and monthly battery-health reports.

Despite its 100W output, the charger is significantly (around 38%) smaller than Apple’s 96W adaptor, and includes a foldable plug for easier travel.

Anker MagStand Charging Station

The MagStand Charging Station combines three charging options in one compact bedside device: a 25W magnetic wireless pad, a retractable USB-C cable and a concealed USB-C port. Active cooling helps maintain charging speeds and control device temperature. Anker says its magnetic pad can charge an iPhone 17 Pro to 50 per cent in as little as 22 minutes.

An overnight Care Mode manages charging so the battery finishes closer to the user’s alarm, rather than sitting at full capacity for hours. Its display shows charging speed, temperature and remaining time, while app connectivity adds personalised screensavers.

Pricing and Availability

The eufy NVR Security System E50 is available in Australia now.

The MagGo Power Bank Pro 2, Laptop Charger Pro, MagStand Charging Station and Omni E35 robot vacuum are expected to launch during the fourth quarter of 2026.

The MindBase Security Kit will arrive locally in 2027, while the E15 Gen 2 robot mower is planned for the first half of the year. The S2 Max is expected around the middle of 2027. Unfortunately, Australian pricing for the new products has not yet been announced and will be confirmed closer to their respective launches.

Conclusion

Anker’s IFA 2026 lineup shows a company moving beyond isolated gadgets towards technology that can understand and manage how it is being used.

MindBase brings that approach into the home through local processing, expandable storage and connections between security and robotic devices. Its charging products apply a similar philosophy, using active cooling and tailored charging profiles to balance speed against long-term battery health.

Many of these products remain months away, and Australian pricing will ultimately shape their appeal. Even so, Anker’s combination of private local AI, increasingly autonomous eufy hardware and more intelligent charging makes this one of its most ambitious IFA showcases yet.
