Huawei’s Kirin 980 chip gives glimpse of Mate 20’s power
For many years, Europe’s biggest electronics show, IFA, was the place Huawei chose to unveil a new Mate, the biggest of its flagship phones. That’s not the case in 2018.

It’s been only two months since BlackBerry Mobile unveiled the Key2, but the veteran phone brand arrived on Thursday at IFA, Europe’s largest tech show, with a new device to add to its lineup.

If you’ve been waiting to talk to your Alexa-enabled TV without having to pick up a remote, you might want to consider moving to Europe.

It was only a stage demo — no real models to be seen on the IFA 2018 show floor — but we hope this flip-over display in Acer’s Predator Triton 900 becomes a reality sooner rather than later.

Remember when every consumer electronics company hyped 3D TV as the next big feature? Or started pushing curved TVs? Yeah, I barely do, either. That’s because those supposedly hot TV features eventually faded away. The latest TV “must have” that you actually don’t really need — at least right now — has arrived at the IFA electronics show in Berlin. …

Sony Europe’s next-generation 4K Home Cinema projectors are built for movie night and sports, but they could let PC users down. The VPL-VW870ES, VPL-VW570ES and VPL-VW270ES, which were rolled out at the IFA trade show in Berlin, have true 4K resolution, 27ms input lag and Sony’s temporal-smoothing Motionflow for movie and sports viewing. They all use Sony’s veteran SXRD technology: …

Bang and Olufsen melds some popular Bluetooth earbud features plus dust- and splash-resistance with its high-end audio smarts for the new Beoplay E6 wireless earbuds announced at IFA 2018. They can also charge via a dongle while you’re using them, which is good since they’re rated for only up to five hours of play time and it takes two hours …

Casio unveiled the newest version of its Pro Trek outdoors-focused smartwatch, improving the battery life, display features and apps capabilities. Battery performance was a weak point for last year’s model, so Casio created new software that it claims will allow a user to make the watch sip the battery life instead of chug it. Last year’s watch already included a …
