Weâre going back to IFA in Berlin! Well, some members of the Gizmodo crew, including our consumer tech reporter, Kyle Barr, will be roaming the labyrinthine halls of the Messe Berlin to find the smartest, coolest, and weirdest consumer electronics youâll have the luxury of spending your hard-earned paychecks on in the near-ish future.
Expect the usual tech giants like Lenovo and Samsung to have a big presence. If youâve ever been to IFA (itâs open to the public), youâll know thereâs a lot to take in. Youâll definitely get your steps in, walking miles just to see a new laptop or the latest robot vacuum. IFA is not quite as expansive as CES, and even though there are attendees from all over the world, nothing compares to the sardine-packed hellscape that is Sin City every January.
Europeâs largest tech show officially runs from Sept. 5 through Sept. 9, but Gizmodo will be tackling the show in the few days right after Labor Day, when many announcements drop early. Bookmark this page and Ctrl/Cmd+R often, because weâll be updating this live blog often throughout the multi-day show.
