Best of IFA 2025: Top 18 Gadgets You Need to See

Berlin once again becomes the epicenter of tech innovation as IFA 2025 showcases the most exciting consumer gadgets set to define the coming year. Our team spent the week exploring every corner of the event, testing groundbreaking devices across smartphones, computing, home tech, fitness, and beyond. From razor-thin handsets to AI-powered tennis coaches, this year’s offerings blend bold design with meaningful functionality. Here are the standout products that captured our attention and earned top honors.

Tecno Slim redefines ultra-slim smartphone design without sacrificing essential features. While it doesn’t quite dethrone Samsung’s thinnest offering, its curved 5.92mm profile makes it the slimmest curved phone currently available. Both 4G and 5G models feature a vibrant 144Hz AMOLED screen with exceptional brightness, a 50MP camera, and a sizeable battery supporting fast and reverse charging. Performance is handled capably by MediaTek chipsets, but the real charm lies in its playful LED mood lighting around the camera module, which serves as both a notification indicator and a fill light.

Acer’s Swift Air 16 laptop feels almost impossibly light, tipping the scales at just 2.4 pounds despite its expansive 16-inch display. It outperforms many smaller laptops with a stunning 2800×1800 OLED panel, an AMD Ryzen AI 7 processor, 32GB of RAM, and robust connectivity options. This combination of portability and power makes it an ideal companion for professionals and creatives on the move.

Gaming enthusiasts should take note of the Lenovo Legion Go 2, a Windows handheld that improves on its predecessor with an OLED screen, refined ergonomics, and the potent AMD Ryzen Z2 chip. Its detachable controllers and versatile kickstand enhance usability, while leaked benchmarks suggest a significant performance leap over earlier models.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S11 stands out as a productivity powerhouse, especially in its 14.6-inch variant. It pairs a breathtaking Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a powerful Dimensity 9400 Plus chipset and up to 16GB of RAM. Enhanced software and DeX mode further solidify its position as a laptop alternative for on-the-go work.

For raw computing power in a compact form, the Geekom A9 Mega is in a league of its own. It boasts an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 CPU, 128GB of RAM, and integrated graphics rivaling dedicated GPUs, all housed in a sleek aluminum chassis. It handles everything from AI tasks to 4K gaming with ease.

The Acemate tennis robot brings AI-driven coaching to the court, using binocular cameras and omnidirectional wheels to track and return shots. Post-session analytics via a companion app provide detailed feedback to help players refine their skills.

Dreame’s Bionic QuadTrack Stair Climbing System transforms compatible robot vacuums into stair-conquering machines using tank-like tracks. Though not yet available or backward compatible, it promises to eliminate one of the biggest limitations in home cleaning tech.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 FE continues the Fan Edition tradition by delivering flagship-like features at a mid-range price. With a vibrant AMOLED screen, capable Exynos chipset, and robust battery life, it offers exceptional value without compromising on experience.

The Ecovacs Deebot X11 Omnicyclone stands out in the crowded robot vacuum market with its powerful suction, adaptive 4WD system, and innovative mopping capabilities. Its AI-driven navigation and quick-charge technology make it ideal for larger homes.

Audio purists will appreciate the JLab JBuds Open Headphones, which prioritize immersive, high-fidelity sound over noise cancellation. Their open-back design delivers rich bass and detailed audio while allowing ambient awareness, perfect for focused listening sessions.

We Are Rewind’s GB-001 speaker isn’t just an audio device; it’s a multifunctional hub featuring Bluetooth connectivity, cassette playback and recording, and even karaoke support. Its sound quality impresses with deep bass and crisp highs, enhanced by physical tuning dials.

Lenovo’s ThinkBook VertiFlex Concept laptop introduces a dual-hinge design that switches between horizontal and vertical orientations, offering 45% more screen space for scrolling tasks. Its smart integration with smartphones via Lenovo Smart Connect adds to its versatility.

The Antigravity A1 drone simplifies aerial filming with its 8K 360-degree camera, allowing users to frame shots after flight. Intuitive controls and immersive goggles make professional-grade footage accessible to all.

Rokid Glasses merge AR and AI into a wearable that feels genuinely useful. Features like live translation, visual overlays, and ChatGPT integration are controlled through voice or touch, offering a glimpse into the future of smart eyewear.

XGIMI’s Horizon 20 Max projector elevates home entertainment with lens shift technology, extreme brightness, and gaming-friendly specs like 240Hz refresh rates and VRR. It’s a premium option for those seeking a cinematic experience at home.

Viaim’s OpenNote earbuds excel as an AI tool without sacrificing audio quality. They offer real-time translation in 16 languages, transcription, and meeting summaries, all while delivering impressive sound through an open-ear design.

Aukey’s MagFusion Ark charger reimagines wireless charging with a modular, six-in-one design that includes portable battery orbs. Its intelligent cooling and high-speed Qi 2.2 support make it a versatile solution for multi-device households.

The Hypershell X Ultra exoskeleton supports mobility with a lightweight, powerful design that assists wearers on challenging terrain. We tested it on inclines and found it genuinely reduces physical strain, opening new possibilities for adventure and accessibility.
