Hisense is releasing the S6 FollowMe, a 32-inch 4K smart display with wheels. Despite initial claims of autonomous movement, the device does not follow you around automatically ; it must be manually pushed. This clarifies a misunderstanding from pre-CES 2026 announcements, where the TV was described as capable of “transitioning effortlessly” between surfaces.
Key Features
The FollowMe includes:
- A 32-inch 4K screen with anti-glare coating
- Far-field microphones for voice control
- A built-in camera for video calls
- Wi-Fi 6 connectivity
- Up to 10 hours of battery life
The TV is designed for portable streaming, video conferencing, and general smart home use. However, it’s essential to understand that the “FollowMe” name refers to its physical portability, not autonomous tracking like Samsung’s Ballie or Amazon’s Astro.
Why the Confusion Matters
Hisense’s initial marketing suggested a more advanced product. The clarification is important because many tech companies are exaggerating AI capabilities, as noted in recent analyses of emerging products. The FollowMe, in contrast, is a straightforward smart display on a mobile base, similar to Samsung’s Movingstyle (priced at $1,200).
The lack of AI-driven tracking may disappoint some, but it avoids the privacy concerns and potential creepiness associated with truly autonomous displays. The FollowMe is simply a TV you move yourself, which may be preferable for users who value simplicity.
Availability
The Hisense S6 FollowMe will launch in the United States on May 1, 2026. Pricing has not yet been announced.
The FollowMe TV is a clear example of marketing hype versus reality in the smart home space. It provides functionality without the unnecessary complexity of AI-driven features.
