Europe’s premier consumer electronics showcase, IFA, never fails to deliver groundbreaking innovations, and this year’s event was no exception. From smart home enhancements to wearable tech and automated cleaning solutions, the show floor was packed with products ready to transform daily life. Here are seven standout gadgets from IFA 2025 that are already available or coming soon.
Philips Hue MotionAware via Bridge Pro brings a new layer of intelligence to smart lighting. The newly introduced Hue Bridge Pro features a processor five times faster than its predecessor and supports up to 150 lights. Its standout feature is MotionAware, which allows groups of Hue lights to function as motion sensors by detecting changes in wireless signals. This innovation works with most existing Hue products, excluding first-gen and portable models, making it a practical upgrade for many smart homes.
Rokid Smart Glasses are positioning themselves as a serious rival to Meta in the AR wearable space. These glasses integrate augmented reality with AI capabilities, offering real-time translation across 89 languages, object recognition, and navigation. Weighing just 1.7 ounces, they’re designed for all-day comfort without sacrificing functionality. A built-in 12MP camera and integrated audio round out the package, which is currently available through Kickstarter with a planned retail price of $599.
The Ecovacs X11 Omnicyclone redefines what a robot vacuum can do. It boasts the longest runtime in its class and is the first premium model to eliminate disposable dustbags. Instead, it uses a reusable plastic canister, reducing long-term waste and cost. With a 6,400mAh battery and GaN charging technology, it can quickly recharge while washing its mop, refilling water, and emptying dust. Its voice assistant and improved edge-cleaning technology make it one of the smartest and most capable robots on the market.
Eufy’s Marswalker addresses a common frustration for multi-story homeowners: moving robot vacuums between floors. This innovative accessory uses rubber tracks to carry compatible Eufy robot vacuums up and down stairs, adapting to various step designs and surfaces. Currently designed to work with the Omni S2 and S1 models, Eufy aims to expand compatibility to additional models in the future. Pricing and availability are still to be announced.
For households that go through batteries quickly, the Olight Ostation 2 offers an elegant and eco-friendly solution. This charging station automatically recharges both AA and AAA batteries without requiring precise alignment, users simply drop them into the slots. It holds up to 12 batteries and includes overcharge protection, releasing each battery into a sorted tray once fully charged. It’s a convenient way to reduce waste and keep devices powered.
Govee TV Backlight 3 Pro enhances home entertainment with a triple-camera system that accurately mirrors on-screen colors in real time. The responsiveness and brightness of the LEDs create an immersive viewing experience, syncing seamlessly with the action on screen. While pricing has not yet been announced, Govee confirms the product will be available in the coming weeks.
Rounding out the list is Roborock’s expansion into robot mowers, including the RockMow Z1, S1, and RockNeo Q1. These models bring the same autonomous convenience to lawn care that Roborock is known for in vacuuming. The flagship Z1 model can mow up to 54,000 square feet per day. Although US availability is expected in early 2026, these mowers represent a significant step forward in outdoor robotics.
