Europe’s biggest consumer technology trade show, IFA, is taking place from September 4–8, 2026. Companies from around the world will pack into Berlin’s massive Messe exhibition center to show off their wares. IFA sees a host of announcements across audio, TV, wearable, smartphone, and smart home brands, along with some of Europe’s biggest home appliance manufacturers. This year robotics and AI will likely be making a big splash at the German trade show.
Remember the company’s first Android phone with magnetic wireless charging? The Edge 70 Max didn’t launch in the US, and so the new 25W Moto Snap Qi2 puck won’t either, though it’s £39.99 / €39.99 (about $50) in Europe. The Android Qi2 rollout continues at glacial pace.
35 crystals have once again been “hand-positioned” in the flip phone’s body, with a larger 32-facet crystal on the hinge, all finished with a quilted, leather-inspired texture in Pantone’s “Meteorite” color. It launches September 10th for $899.99, a $100 premium over the regular Razr — but what says luxury like Swarovski-studded quilted pleather?
The autofocusing and keystone-correcting projector I enjoyed last year is now twice as bright (200 ANSI lumens) with a bump to 1080p. It supports AirPlay, Google Cast, and “an industry-first Type-C direct projection for Nintendo Switch.” The Zip Pro is notably larger, lasts up to 2.5 hours off battery, supports Bluetooth audio when its itty-bitty stereo speakers won’t do, and can be preordered for $579.99 — nearly double the cost of the original 720p model. Have a look at Aurzen’s weak-sauce AI imagery for more details.
Dyson showed off its CameraJet toothbrush in Berlin, Germany, today, at what was quite the event for a dental hygiene product.
The company’s handheld HushJet Mini Cool fan looked like a lamprey eel, but its new air purifiers are trading Dyson’s iconic bladeless rings for a design reminiscent of Dune’s sandworms. That nozzle is engineered to increase airflow and reduce noise from Dyson’s three new HushJet models that will range in price from $599 to $1,099 later this year.
At the end of my third day trawling Berlin for new tech launches, he looks about how I feel.
That’s less than half the price of other 4k 120Hz ultra-short throw projectors, but it requires a $50 preorder deposit on Xgimi’s Aura 3 Max, else the price rises to $2,399. For that you get specs like 5,700 ISO Lumens and an 8,000:1 contrast ratio for a giant, 120-inch image projected onto the wall from just eight inches away. VRR, ALLM, and a claimed input lag as low as 1ms also makes it great for gamers and sports fans who can afford to hate televisions.

They’re closed-back cans with 45mm drivers and active noise cancellation. A separate upgrade package includes a low-latency USB-C dongle and detachable boom mic, which sounds like a nice option for gamers. The Aventho Y are $150 and come in black, blue, light green, and peach.
The LumaTempo smart fish tank offers 20 different lighting modes and custom colors that you adjust using Dreame’s accompanying app. You can also use the app to manage the built-in feeder, monitor water temperatures, and view feeding history. It launches next year, but there are no details on pricing just yet.
The Leaptic Cube action camera that Dreame announced back in January will be available in the US, the company says. It’s priced to compete with Insta360’s Go Ultra, but shoots up to 8K video rather than 4K. It’s expected to ship in October, and in the meantime Dreame has a few more camera concepts it’s showing off at IFA, because of course it does.
It’s launching the RockAqua P1, which can clean up your pool floor, walls, and waterline with a suction power of up to 6,800 gallons per hour. The device has a 3.5-hour runtime for floor cleaning and will automatically return to the water’s surface when it needs a charge or has finished cleaning.
Unless you live on a sprawling, rolling estate there’s now less reason to splurge on Roborock’s top tier models. The next version of its budget-minded offering, the new RockNeo Q2, is getting an upgrade to LiDAR-based navigation so it can maneuver through tight spaces and avoid obstacles without the need for ground wires or an RTK GPS station.
After debuting in China last month, the follow-up to DJI’s first 360-degree camera will launch globally on September 15th starting at €589, but not in the US. The Osmo 360 II features the same dual 1/1.1-inch square sensors as the original but bumps 8K video capture to 60fps with a wider dynamic range to improve low-light performance.
The Oukitel RG14-P includes an integrated solar panel that supports 10W charging, which can recharge the battery to 50 percent within approximately six hours “under optimal sunlight conditions.” There’s no price, but it’s expected to launch in November with a 14th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB expandable storage, and optionally, a built-in camping light.
It must mean IFA Media Days are in full swing. I’m on my way to check out Anker’s press conference, and Dom is going to seek out something that folds somewhere in the basement of the Messe. Keep up with us all day as we track down the hottest new gadgets in Berlin ahead of the show’s official opening tomorrow!
It’s short, it’s wide, and it’s red. It’s also powered by Xiaomi’s new in-house Xring 03 chip, so it’ll be interesting to see how performance stacks up. Oh, and it’s launching in China on September 7th, which I’m sure has nothing to do with upcoming events in California.
Satechi announced a collection of color-matched MacBook Neo accessories in July, but not a replacement charger. So Belkin is making its 30W BoostCharge Compact USB-C Charger available in new citrus, blush, indigo, and silver color options later this month for $26.99 to match Apple’s budget-friendly laptop.
When folded flat it won’t be as thin as magnetic grips from OhSnap or PopSockets, but Belkin’s new Compact Magnetic Ring Stand adds a suction mount so you can stick your phone to walls, mirrors, windows, dashboards, or any smooth, flat surface that ensures a strong seal. It’s expected to launch in November for $24.99.
The Narwal V50 Cube pairs a 5.6-pound stick vac with up to 180 minutes of cleaning time (thanks to a second swappable battery) with a dock that looks inspired by Picasso’s cubism era. The dock can hold up to 100 days of debris, which is blasted with UV light to kill bacteria and reduce odors.
The Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro sport a dual-layer design that allows “the upper and lower light zones to display different colors and effects simultaneously,” according to Govee. They’ll cost $499.99 for 100 feet when they launch on September 7th.
Govee is also releasing a new version of its COB Strip Light Pro, which costs $169.99 and uses a chip-on-board design to smooth out the spotty look of standard LED strip lights. They have slightly denser LED placement than the previous version.
