The public has officially gained access to IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany, marking the culmination of a week filled with industry announcements. As Europe’s premier consumer technology event kicks into high gear, attendees and observers are presented with a diverse array of innovative gadgets and significant upgrades.
Among the most notable reveals is a smartphone concept from Tecno that aims to eliminate screen bezels entirely. The device features a 6.78-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate, with the edges of the screen tucked away to maximize the viewing area.
In the home automation sector, a new robotic vacuum cleaner has drawn attention for its ability to clean spaces it cannot physically squeeze into itself. The unit is accompanied by a smaller sidekick device designed to navigate tight areas, addressing a common limitation in traditional robot vacuums.
For those looking to track all developments from the event, The Verge is providing comprehensive coverage of the announcements made during IFA 2026.

Bezel-less phones keep getting bigger. Does anyone actually prefer the look over a simple black border?
Wow, a separate robot for tight spots? That sounds like overkill for a dusty corner.
