Best of IFA 2025: Editors’ Top Picks

IFA in Berlin is the home of what’s next, where ambitious ideas meet the world’s needs. The show floor this year served up a crisp mishmash — mobile innovation, creator tools, smarter charging, home robotics and high-brightness projection. From hands-on demos and deep-dive briefings, here are the standout products that received our Best of IFA 2025 Awards.

Lenovo Legion Go Gen 2: The right way to do an OLED handheld

Lenovo\’s second-gen Windows handheld switches to an OLED panel with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 1000 and a 144Hz VRR display, which is designed to keep motion crisp, while also boosting color and contrast. Moving from 1600p to 1200p is a smart decision for actual frame rates on AMD’s new Ryzen Z2 platform, and a 74Wh battery (larger by about 50% than the old model’s) is supposed to translate to longer sessions. Hall-effect sticks, impressive ergonomics and up to 32GB RAM/2TB can probably be enough to consider this a genuine Steam Deck opponent for folk who want PC freedom without desktop limitations.

TCL NXTPAPER 60 Ultra: eye comfort and 120Hz

NXTPAPER 4.0 adds hardware-level blue light filtering, a matte finish and flicker-free brightness to a 7.2-inch, 120Hz display with a one-tap Ink Mode for distraction-free reading. With a Dimensity 7400, 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage, the phone doubles down on your long-session comfort without sacrificing the speed they need. Eye-comfort claims do matter: organizations including the Vision Council continue to emphasize digital eye strain, and TCL’s hybrid e-paper approach feels as if it was designed for commuters to and binge readers.

Galaxy S25 FE: battery-first fan edition

The latest Fan Edition goes all in on endurance, jumping to a 4,900mAh cell and 45W wired charging that the company claims hits 65% in about 30 minutes. Longevity gets a boost courtesy of a 6.7-inch OLED sporting 120Hz VRR, an Exynos 2400 and a bigger vapor chamber as the thermal system, and seven years of software support. And with the now-standard 50MP main/12MP ultrawide/8MP 3x telephoto trio and a higher-res 12MP selfie camera, this “budget flagship” appears built for users that value time in years, not quarters.

DJI Mic 3: creator audio grows up

The transmitters weigh in at only 16g now, but battery life goes up to 10 hours with another 18 from the case—good news for run-and-gun crews.
The system can work with up to four transmitters and eight receivers, increases range to 300 meters with auto 2.4/5GHz hopping, and brings 32-bit float with adaptive gain, noise reduction on board and 32GB storage. The flexibility-to-weight ratio makes it hard to beat for multi-talent podcasts and multi-cam shoots.

Anker Prime 3‑in‑1: fastest Qi2 on a dock

The wait is over, and Qi2, the Wireless Power Consortium’s enhanced, magnet-studded standard, is delivering actual speed improvements. Anker’s 3‑in‑1 Prime Wireless Charging Station delivers Qi2 up to 25W 2 to compatible phones as it cools down with a thermoelectric module designed to keep temps under 36°C — a crucial factor as increased heat speeds up battery wear, according to pit testing in numerous labs. An status display and two accessory pads transform the dock into a clean, high-speed charging station.

eufy MarsWalker + Omni S2 g: multiplayer floor independancy

Instead of begging a vaccuum to climb, eufy installs its Omni S2 into the MarsWalker carrier, which lifts the bot up or down stairs with four articulating arms and a track drive — nifty engineering for split-level homes. The S2 itself brags 30,000Pa suction, a HydroJet 2.0 mop and 15N pressure and CleanMind AI mapping. With a 12‑in‑1 base that deals with both dust and wastewater, this combination aims for the dreamland of no‑intervention, whole‑home cleaning.

Baseus EnerGeek GT01: outlet‑to‑pocket power

Promoted as a miniature two-piece Qi2 charger and 10,000mAh bank, EnerGeek’s GT01 snaps onto a wall to serve as a hands-free magnetic stand, and then detaches into a 15W Qi2 or 45W USB‑C power bank that you can take anywhere to keep your devices charged. While docked, you can charge via both the Qi2 pad and USB‑C ports simultaneously, and a small LCD display indicates remaining capacity and estimated hours. It’s a neat consolidation play for travelers who don’t want to juggle bricks and pucks.

Antigravity A1: 360° flight, 8K capture

Based upon a pair of ultra‑wide lenses, the A1 captures 360‑degree video up to 8K/60, algorithmically removes itself from the scene. Though it’s just 249g, barely a hair above the weight requirement for registration in many areas, it also provides OAS (obstacle avoidance system) and RTH for a safer flight. Vision goggles separate framing from flight direction — pilots fly straight ahead while reframing with head movement — and creators can fine-tune shots later with tricks such as Tiny Planet. It’s a new look for storytelling in the sky.

Midea SpaceMaster: the wheels off capacity

Midea’s SpaceMaster Refrigerator packs in an incredible 443L despite having a standard footprint thanks to thinner-wall construction — we’re talking vacuum insulation panels and lightweight composites — that increases the internal volume on offer. An oversized produce drawer, a 130L freezer and modular “Infinite Shelves” also help to stow that weekly shop. The matching dishwasher (16 place settings) and high-capacity washer-dryer reinforce a theme we encounter again and again in home tech, that smarter packaging can lead to actual living-space wins.

XGIMI Horizon 20 Max: cinema that’s stunning even in daylight

Boasting 5,700 ISO lumens, the Horizon 20 Max is a play to put an end to the “dance of the projector for a windowless room.” (Sony’s) tripe-laser RGB light light engine and a new “X-Master Red Ring Lens” are used to boost brightness, along with a focus on color accuracy. It also covers off Dolby Vision, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode, and features optical zoom, lens shift and Google TV. XGIMI also claims 1ms input lag and 240Hz support — overkill for movies, but catnip for competitive players.

Why these winners matter

It’s clear across the board: real gains come from better materials, smarter power management and design that puts the user first. From WPC’s Qi2 standard to VESA’s OLED HDR performance guidelines and aviation guidance from organizations such as EASA, the best products marry engineering with emerging standards. If this is the bar at which IFA sets us, the next 12 months of iteration of devices will come faster, brighter, quieter and just a lot easier to live with.
