Acer introduced the EP130K, an ePaper monitor aimed at professionals and readers who spend long hours in front of screens. It offers up to 3,200 x 2,400 resolution with a 60Hz refresh rate, switchable color and black-and-white modes, touch and stylus support, and can hold an image without drawing power. The device connects and charges via a single USB-C cable, though Acer has not disclosed its screen size or internal chipset.
Acer unveiled a fourth-generation Vero 16 laptop at IFA 2026, building on last year's sustainability-focused redesign by making the chassis and internal components easier to remove, repair and upgrade.

Oukitel is debuting two rugged smartphones ahead of IFA 2026: the WP600, a gaming-focused device with a Dimensity 8300 chip, dual-fan cooling, RGB lighting and a 10,000mAh battery, and the WP70 Ultra, which the company calls the slimmest rugged phone with a 16,000mAh silicon-carbon battery despite still measuring 16.4mm thick. Both phones carry heavy-duty durability certifications like IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H, continuing Oukitel's focus on tough builds and oversized batteries.
Dell introduced the Dell 14S at IFA 2026, a student-focused laptop offered in four colors—beige, pink, blue, and green—with configurations starting at 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, scalable to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB SSD. Positioned below the XPS 13, it includes HDMI, a headphone jack, a 1080p webcam with Windows Hello, and up to 23 hours of claimed battery life, running on Intel Core 5 or Core 7 chips rather than newer Panther Lake processors.
TP-Link unveiled its first consumer Wi-Fi 8 router, the Archer 8 Ultra BN19000, at IFA 2026, with pre-orders opening September 30. The tri-band router promises 19Gbps aggregate speeds, 18 antennas, and coverage for a 3,600-square-foot home, alongside a mesh sibling called Deco 8 Ultra rated up to 22Gbps for larger properties. TP-Link plans additional Wi-Fi 8 models in early-to-mid 2027, but has not confirmed whether any of these devices will reach the US market.

Plaud, a major player in AI note-taking hardware, has introduced the Plaud One, a pair of earbuds that embed its agentic AI software directly into headphones. The device can record conversations and phone calls via a built-in eSIM with 4G LTE, then transcribe them and generate summaries, follow-ups, or reports, integrating with tools like Gmail, Slack, and Notion. The product will be shown publicly for the first time at IFA 2026 in Berlin.
TECNO's bezel-less concept phone, first teased weeks ago, got its first hands-on demonstration from Marques Brownlee ahead of its planned IFA 2026 debut. The device uses internal display stacking so its metal frame sits slightly above the screen, hiding the bezel but creating a raised edge that can interfere with Android's edge gestures. It also packs a 144Hz display, triple rear cameras, a 6,000mAh battery, and a holographic lenticular back panel.
