BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 3, 2026--

The announcements bring together Lenovo’s “one personal AI, multiple devices” approach with enterprise technology that helps organizations turn data into insights and value. They span personal AI across PCs, smartphones, tablets, and wearables; creator and consumer devices that adapt to different ways of working and expressing ideas; and business technology built for AI-enabled productivity, collaboration, security, and scale.

Lenovo also demonstrated how design and form factor remain central to making technology more useful: from high-performance local AI systems and pen-first tablets to colorful consumer laptops, flexible business devices, and concepts that rethink mobility and workspace.

Major announcements include:

“AI is changing the relationship between people and technology. People don't wake up thinking about apps, they think about what they want to accomplish," said Luca Rossi, President of Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo. "We're showing how Hybrid AI can help make that shift real by bringing intelligence together across devices, the edge, and the cloud, so it can work in the right place at the right time. Across our new Lenovo and Motorola portfolio, we're building the foundations for one personal AI that can move with people, while helping businesses put AI to work where their data already lives.”

One Personal AI, Multiple Devices

Lenovo & Motorola Qira is expanding across more devices, apps, and markets, bringing Lenovo’s personal ambient intelligence to a broader device ecosystem. Eligible Lenovo PCs with 16GB of memory gain support, broadening access beyond higher-memory configurations. Eligible edge, razr and signature devices will also gain Motorola Qira as they receive the Android 17 upgrade, and the new moto watch ultra will be the first wearable to support Motorola Qira 1*.
