This event showcases the latest and greatest innovations in consumer electronics. The show includes everything from cutting-edge smartphones to futuristic smart home gadgets. IFA never fails to impress.
Here are some of the coolest smart gadgets unveiled at IFA, which are not only great gifts, but they are shaping the future of technology.
Samsung's JetBot 90 AI+
Samsung's JetBot 90 AI+ was certainly one of the most eye-catching exhibits at IFA. This is not your father’s Roomba, but an intelligent robot vacuum cleaner that takes smart cleaning to a whole new level.

Using advanced AI and sensors to navigate your home efficiently, it avoids obstacles and adjusts its cleaning patterns based on the room's layout. It's an impressive addition to the world of home automation with its powerful cleaning capabilities and large dustbin.
Spatial Reality Display
The Spatial Reality Display introduced by Sony is nothing short of mind-blowing. This 3D display creates realistic, high-resolution 3D objects that seemingly float in the air.
This is a real game-changer for professionals in industries like design, architecture, and gaming. The technology has the potential to revolutionize how we interact with digital content.
Philips’ Hue Gradient Lightstrip
The new Gradient Lightstrip by Philips has impressively expanded its Hue smart lighting range.

It's a fantastic example of how smart lighting can transform your living space and enhance your movie and gaming nights.
Bose QuietComfort 45 Headphones
Bose’s new QuietComfort 45 headphones at IFA deliver the signature noise-cancelling technology that Bose is known for. These wireless headphones are comfortable for long listening sessions and offer exceptional sound quality and improved noise cancellation. They are a must-have for music lovers and frequent travellers.
LG's Rollable OLED TV
This one is astounding! LG unveiled its rollable OLED TV. It's a marvel of engineering that can magically disappear when you don't need it. With the press of a button, the TV screen rolls up and disappears into its base, saving space and offering a sleek, minimalist look when not in use. This innovation heralds a new era of flexible displays. It also opens exciting possibilities for interior design.

It selectively darkens only the sections of the visor where glare is present, providing enhanced visibility and safety while driving.
TCL Wearable Display
TCL showcased an upgrade to its NXTWEAR S wearable display glasses that offers a personal cinematic experience. These glasses provide an immersive viewing experience with a large virtual screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Samsung Jet Bot worth it?
Reviewer David Ludlow on ‘Trusted Reviews’ likes the $800 device, but said “A super-power robot vacuum cleaner with excellent navigation and automatic object detection and avoidance, the Samsung JetBot AI+ makes light work of any spill. In my tests, I found it able to clean as well as a regular vacuum cleaner on all surfaces. Excellent filtration and automatic emptying confirm this as one of the best robots available, but it is expensive, particularly for a model that can’t mop.”
How much is LG rollable OLED TV?
LG's home entertainment marketing manager, Tony Brown said, “It's $129,999 so it's not for everyone but it is a cutting-edge demonstration of what you can do with OLED technology," he said. The TV features an "ultra-thin flexible" OLED screen which makes it possible to roll into the cabinet.
Nope! Little Timmy gets a ball, bat and baseball glove this year.
Which is better Braun or Bamix hand blender?
The website ‘Rtings.com' goes with Braun: “The Braun MultiQuick 9 is better than the Bamix Mono M133. The Braun makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients, which is important for silky soups with broccoli or kale. Its detachable blending arm makes it easier to clean by hand, the arm is dishwasher-safe.”
What is the resolution of TCL Nxtwear?
These TCL wearable display glasses offer a crisp and clear cinema-like feeling delivered by 47 pixels-per-degree resolution and dual 1080p Sony FHD Micro OLED panels while stereo speakers bring ultra-rich sound.
