Hisense U8Q (2025, UK)

Mini-LED · VIDAA · 55, 65, 75, 85″

Built-in far-field microphone

Has mic

This model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.

The UK manual for the U8Q shows a built-in microphone on the TV with an on/off switch, and says that once Hands-Free mode is on you can say "Alexa" or "Hey VIDAA". But the product information sheets for all four U8QTUK sizes say "Voice recognition sensor available: No". Where the maker's own specifications and the EU product information sheet differ, this site follows the maker's specifications.
