Steve Wozniak Surprisingly Appears at DREAME NEXT: Dreame Unveils Two Smartphones with 10+ Industry Breakthroughs

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreame Technology today officially launched two smartphones at the Connect Next segment of DREAME NEXT in San Francisco: the AURORA NEX flagship smartphone and the AURORA LUX luxury smartphone. Together, the two devices introduce more than 10 breakthroughs across modular hardware design, proprietary software, imaging, and communications.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak joined Dreame's Chang Xinwei for a conversation on the next decade of mobile phones — exploring how breakthrough engineering and a relentless pursuit of excellence define the future of the industry. As Wozniak put it, "Look at what you got today. How can you make it better? Improve it, improve it, keep taking steps towards the eventual great future." Counterpoint's general manager Jeff Fieldhack also participated, examining AURORA's market positioning from a technology and industry trends perspective.

AURORA NEX is built around a modular hardware architecture that allows users to physically reconfigure their device. Detachable modules include a stabilized action camera, a telephoto unit for low-light distance shooting, a satellite communications module for off-grid connectivity and emergency communication, and a smart module that operates independently to learn and adapt to user behavior. The approach is a departure from the fixed-hardware model that has defined smartphone design for over a decade. Powering the device is AURORA AIOS 1.0, a proprietary operating system designed around proactive service rather than passive response. The system operates with a traditional UI underneath and a native intelligent mode that adapts to user habits and initiates actions without prompting, supports multimodal interaction spanning touch, voice, and vision, and coordinates multiple intelligent agents to handle complex tasks end-to-end.

On the imaging side, AURORA delivers full-focal-range 200-megapixel capture, full-focal-range Lofic technology, 3D spatial modeling, 8K 60fps uncropped video recording, and 14-bit RAW multi-frame compositing, an imaging pipeline designed for both professional output and computational photography across all focal lengths. Communications capabilities are equally ambitious. Dreame has achieved wide-temperature frequency stability from -25°C to 40°C through a proprietary temperature-compensation algorithm that holds frequency deviation within 10ppm, completed RF front-end development covering global carrier frequencies in a single architecture, and achieved uninterrupted satellite voice calling with search and handshake latency reduced to under 10 seconds, 70 percent faster than the industry average.

The AURORA LUX takes the line into luxury territory. Each device is finished using techniques borrowed from fine jewelry and traditional craft, including hand-applied detailing, three-dimensional engraving, and methods drawn from centuries-old artisan traditions. The LUX is available across five design collections, each with a distinct visual identity.

Dreame started with motors and algorithms. AURORA is what happens when that same engineering discipline meets a device people carry every day. Dreame did not enter the smartphone market to follow. It entered because its solid technology foundation made it possible to build something that doesn't exist yet.

DREAME NEXT runs through April 30 at the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco.

Steve Wozniak Surprisingly Appears at DREAME NEXT: Dreame Unveils Two Smartphones with 10+ Industry Breakthroughs

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreame Technology, a global high-end technology company, today unveiled its full personal care product lineup at the Self Next segment of DREAME NEXT in San Francisco, staged as a luxury runway-style event featuring live styling showcases and men's grooming demonstrations. The launch comes as the company reports a 1,230 percent year-on-year increase in North American personal care revenue, marking what is positioned as a breakthrough into the high-end personal care market.

Joined by industry pioneers, Dreame introduced what described as the next era of personal styling technology: an intelligent companion that senses you, understands you and serves you. The Self Next lineup spans hair care, skincare, hair removal, men's grooming, and oral care, each category anchored by proprietary technology developed in-house.

Dreame's hair dryer range is built around the principle that drying should improve hair health. The Miracle Pro uses micron-scale serum automization technology to infuse hair care oils directly into airflow during drying, while dual-band red light therapy promotes scalp health. The Pilot model features smart scalp protection for high-speed drying without heat damage. Additional models include the Airstyle Pro HI for multi-function styling and the Aero Straight Pro, which combines blow-drying and straightening in a single device.

In skincare, the Chrona Pro Max utilizes five high-precision light spectra (630nm, 850nm, 465nm, 530nm, and 1070nm) to enhance skin texture and firmness across the face and neck, featuring integrated zone-specific cooling for added comfort. Complementing this, in hair removal, Dreame's hair removal system employs intelligent skin-tone recognition with four specialized modes and an expanded 5.4 cm² treatment window. With a 35J energy output targeting the hair follicle, it completes a full-body session in six minutes while maintaining a 15°C surface temperature for a gentle, soothing experience.

For men's grooming, Dreame introduced the S9 Pro electric shaver, which adopts a suspended bionic robotic arm for intelligent skin-care and a premium smart active water-separation cleaning system, representing two standout technological breakthroughs in the industry. The T3 salon-grade trimmer rounds out the grooming lineup. In oral care,NB01 features a button-free design, 72,000 vibrations per minute and 98.32% plaque removal proven by third-party tests. And the X1000 is our next flagship. Unlike NB01's auto convenience, it equips the toothbrush with smart perception; the design is conceptual and subject to change.

Dreame chose a runway format over a conventional product demonstration, using live styling and grooming showcases to position its personal care lineup alongside luxury and fashion. The approach reflects a broader move upmarket in the category, one that appears to be landing: North American personal care revenue grew 1,230 percent year-on-year.

"Personal care is where technology meets something deeply personal," said Chang Xinwei, Global President of Dreame Technology. "Every product in this lineup started with an engineering problem. The result is a range that performs at a professional level but is designed for daily use at home."

DREAME NEXT runs through April 30 at the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco.
