Cool telephones and devices able to launch from IFA 2026

IFA in Berlin is Europe’s largest tech convention, and which means a big selection of devices and gizmos see the sunshine of day on the present. Some are wacky ideas, however many are ready-to-roll merchandise set to enter the market.

This group sticks to classes we already know, but they every provide one thing completely different and distinctive in how they do what they do. Plus, most, if not all, can be out there to Canadians sooner or later.

RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro

Ulefone’s adventure-focused RugOne sub-brand takes a leaping try with the Xsnap 7 Pro as a rugged Android telephone constructed with an motion digital camera that totally detaches from the physique. Weighing 39 grams, it sits in its dock flush with the rear panel and pulls free by grabbing onto the lens cowl. The magnet on the again can connect to a helmet, chest, bike, or different mounts through equipment RugOne will make out there to assist the telephone. Given the energy of the magnet, it might additionally connect to metallic surfaces by itself. And for the reason that mounting system is identical as GoPro’s, there’s extra flexibility on prime of that.

The indifferent module information as much as 2.7K video at 30fps with a 133-degree discipline of view through a 1/2.7-inch sensor, and may run for as much as 40 minutes per cost. The Xsnap 7 Pro itself has IP68 and IP69K mud and water resistance, however RugOne says the indifferent digital camera can submerge down to 5 metres with out a case.

The telephone itself is huge and heavy to accommodate all this, weighing 477 grams with a thickness on par with a telephone utilizing a rugged case. But that’s additionally why it has an enormous 9,300mAh battery to additionally double as a charging financial institution for the module, rated for about 20 recharges. The remainder of the digital camera array carries a greater 50-megapixel principal digital camera utilizing an even bigger 1/1.57-inch Samsung Isocell GN9 sensor, and in a uncommon case, a 64MP infrared night-vision digital camera supposed for true darkness. RugOne is releasing a world variant that may work in Canada (although no service assist, in fact), beginning on Kickstarter first at an early-bird value of €799 (about C$1,283.71), with retail availability deliberate for October at US$999 (roughly C$1,381.62).

Xiaomi 18 Fold

I couldn’t get hands-on time with the Xiaomi 18 Fold, however now that Apple has launched its personal foldable, their respective kind elements bear similarities. It’s a passport-style design the corporate calls its first “mid-fold” telephone system — mainly, one thing between a full book-style foldable and a compact flip telephone. It pairs a 7.58-inch interior AMOLED show with a 5.38-inch outer display, each operating at 120Hz, and at 219g, is significantly lighter than each Apple and Samsung’s passport foldables.

It runs on the corporate’s personal XRING O3 chip, a 3-nanometer in-house processor fairly than a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, paired with what Xiaomi says is the world’s first implementation of CXMT LPDDR6 RAM. The rear digital camera array features a 200-megapixel principal sensor alongside a 50-megapixel ultrawide — and crucially — a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, all tuned with Leica’s color science.

The 6,000mAh battery can be significantly greater than what Apple and Samsung are equipping, and it helps 67W wired charging to cost up quicker than each. The telephone is launching in China first for roughly US$1,640 (about C$2,268.12) in colors that additionally principally resemble what Apple has carried out. Global availability, whereas trying possible, is unconfirmed right now.

TCL P80 Ultra

TCL’s Nxtpaper display expertise has been getting higher with nearly each iteration, and the P80 Ultra marks the primary time the corporate is implementing it in an AMOLED display when it was beforehand restricted to LCD panels. The 6.83-inch, 1.5K display reduces blue gentle output, provides round polarization so the show stays seen via polarized sun shades, and hits a claimed 3,200 nits of peak brightness at 120Hz. As with any Nxtpaper telephone lately, the devoted key on the facet switches display modes from full color to ink paper or Max Ink mode.

This features a new nano-matrix anti-glare therapy tuned particularly for AMOLED optics, which TCL says is the primary anti-glare layer ever utilized to a smartphone AMOLED panel. At the identical time, deeper blacks and extra vibrant colors even have a visible affect, and supporting 100% DCI-P3 color gamut now not forces a compromise when viewing pictures or video.

It’s clearly not a flagship-level system given the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Elite chipset inside, together with 8GB of RAM, as much as 512GB of storage, and a 5,800mAh battery supporting 45W charging. TCL guarantees 4 main Android OS upgrades and 7 years of safety patches, which isn’t all that frequent for a mid-range Android telephone. It’s received some first rate sturdiness with IP68 mud and water resistance. Now out in Europe for €549 (about C$882.05), TCL hasn’t introduced availability or pricing in North America but.

Lexar Muse

Lexar made the Muse into what it calls “the world’s thinnest portable SSD”, measuring simply 3.8mm at its thickest level, tapering to about 1mm on the edges. It’s so skinny that it’s corresponding to a debit or bank card. That’s why it comes with a pretend leather-based sleeve with MagSafe on the again to sit down flush on the iPhone or any Android system supporting it in a technique or one other. It connects to the telephone via a proprietary magnetic connection system known as SnapLink, made up of pogo pins and neodymium magnets on one finish and USB-C on the opposite. For that latter cause, this solely works with iPhones within the 15 collection or later.

The drive has a learn pace of as much as 1,050MB/s and write pace as much as 1,000MB/s — respectable for the scale, however not class-leading. On prime of exterior storage, you should use it to report Apple ProRes 4K video at as much as 120fps on to the drive for top bitrate seize on the go. Lexar additionally emphasizes compatibility with iPad, Mac, and different USB-C gadgets. In explicit, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra helps Log recording, together with for its personal APV codec, on to an exterior drive, so this could work the identical manner.

The Muse will ship in 512GB and 1TB capacities beginning in This autumn 2026, although no value has been confirmed but.

Hohem Eyepic

Hohem is taking what it is aware of about digital camera and telephone gimbals and going into pocket gimbals with the Eyepic, a 2-in-1 mannequin that differs from what Insta360 has carried out with the Luna Ultra. In this case, the digital camera itself magnetically detaches from the physique, successfully turning it right into a hands-free motion digital camera that may clip or mount onto varied equipment. When indifferent, the digital camera module itself is waterproof all the way down to 10 metres.

One of the standout options is native vertical video seize, which means that as a substitute of cropping a horizontal body for social platforms, the two.51-inch touchscreen and digital camera bodily rotate collectively, recording true vertical 4K at as much as 60fps with none decision loss. The deal with nonetheless gives a 1080p reside view and doubles as a distant management from as much as 10 metres away. We don’t know pricing but, however Hohem says it’s seeking to undercut DJI and Insta360, although this can be a single-camera gimbal fairly than the twin setups the Osmo Pocket 4P and Luna Ultra have, so there’s no telephoto functionality within the Eyepic.

It’s additionally not clear but what the sensor dimension, battery life, or inner storage scenario can be till nearer to launch in Q1 2027. At this level, CES 2027 in Las Vegas will in all probability reveal all lacking particulars.

Dreame Leaptic Cube

Dreame making an motion digital camera is an odd pivot for a corporation recognized for robotic vacuums and lawnmowers. The Leaptic Cube was first unveiled at CES 2026 however is now a full-fledged system prepared for launch in October. The digital camera’s magnetic modular design lets the roughly 56-gram lens unit shoot by itself or snap onto a separate base with a 2.27-inch touchscreen for reside view and on-device controls. What’s new is a 3rd magnetic battery pack launched in Berlin that pushes whole runtime to about 210 minutes. On its personal, the removable digital camera module itself can final round 110 minutes and recharge to 80% in roughly 19 minutes.

The principal promoting level to face out from different motion cams is stacking items collectively, despite the fact that the removable design itself isn’t actually a brand new factor. Water resistance reaches 10 metres naked and 60 metres with an elective dive case, although the case solely covers the digital camera module itself. On decision, Dreame is positioning the Leaptic Cube in opposition to rivals just like the DJI Osmo Nano and Insta360 Go Ultra, which prime out at 4K, by pushing to 8K at 30fps from a 1/1.3-inch sensor, alongside a voice assistant known as Moko that may begin recording or change modes hands-free. As of now, a U.Okay. launch will begin at £349 (about C$652.19) for the 64GB configuration, with U.S. estimates at $439.99 to $459.99 relying on storage. Global availability is coming, together with Canada, however with out a confirmed timeline in This autumn.

PexarBolt Dock

Pexar is a sub-brand from Lexar, and the PexarBolt Ultra TBT5 Dock is the “world’s first” Thunderbolt 5 dock constructed with its personal touch-control dashboard. With at least 22 whole ports, it seems to be like nearly something can plug into it as a central hub. That consists of CFexpress Type B, SD UHS-II, and microSD UHS-II card readers, an inner PCIe Gen 4 M.2 NVMe slot for user-installed storage, a 10GbE community port, and twin Thunderbolt 5 connections supporting both twin 8K shows at 60Hz or triple 4K displays at 144Hz.

A function known as Bandwidth Boost gives as much as 120Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth. When it kicks in, it shifts the reallocation with as much as 120Gbps flowing out to the shows, with 40Gbps reserved for the return course. That’s why the dock can push its higher-end show configurations, be they twin 8K displays or triple 4K shows, with out operating into bandwidth ceilings {that a} flat 80Gbps break up couldn’t deal with.

A few caveats might apply right here, like how refresh charges above 60Hz may want Display Stream Compression (DSC) assist on each the graphics card and the show to really hit these numbers. Colour depth might drop at increased resolutions or refresh charges when bandwidth will get tight. In that regard, Bandwidth Boost capabilities extra as a workflow function for shows particularly, not one thing that hurries up normal file transfers or storage entry.

A 5-inch touchscreen controls loads of this with real-time data on each related system, together with switch exercise, storage standing, per-port energy readings, and cooling-fan behaviour. The rotary dial subsequent to the display gives partial management however is extra for navigating settings and approving or rejecting AI agent actions, like Claude Code Integration, for instance.

Early-bird Kickstarter pricing begins at US$479 (roughly C$662.46), rising to US$649 (about C$897.57) in retail after the marketing campaign.

Ugreen HomeAgent

Another firm, Ugreen, can be taking an opportunity by getting into a brand new class. Known far more for its chargers and NAS (network-attached storage) {hardware}, the corporate is entering into good house ecosystems with what it calls HomeAgent. The HA100 collection combines community storage, security-camera recording, home-automation management, and on-device AI processing in a single hub, explicitly avoiding cloud dependency for duties like analyzing footage or responding to voice instructions via its Uliya voice assistant.

The entry-level HA100 mannequin makes use of a Rockchip RK3588 chipset rated at 26 TOPS of native AI efficiency with 16GB of reminiscence, whereas the higher-end HA100 Pro steps as much as 32GB of reminiscence and 205 TOPS, and the fully-loaded MasterAgent MA100 mannequin makes use of Nvidia’s Jetson Thor T5000 {hardware}. These are NAS gadgets that double as hubs, letting you speak to Uliya immediately via it or the app to manage good house gadgets. I received to see this in motion at a launch occasion in Foxborough, MA, at Gillette Stadium previous to IFA.

The system helps Matter, Thread, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi for third-party system integration, together with new Ugreen SynCare safety cameras using AI options that routinely determine individuals, animals, autos, or packages. These gadgets gained’t come low cost, even with the Kickstarter marketing campaign concerned, as pre-orders for the HA100 are set at US$899 for the super-early-bird, $1,799 afterward, shifting as much as $2,999/$5,999 for the HA100 Pro, and $9,999/$19,999.

Ugreen additionally expanded its MagFlow charging line alongside this launch with what it calls the world’s first liquid-cooled Qi2 25W magnetic energy financial institution, positioned as a companion accent to the HomeAgent ecosystem fairly than a part of the hub lineup itself.

Anker EufyMake Printer

This EufyMake Fabric Printer nonetheless doesn’t have an official identify, nevertheless it’s coming in Q1 2027 and bringing garment printing into properties and small studios. The desktop machine combines Direct-to-Garment (DTG) and Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing in a single unit, bringing it all the way down to desktop dimension, all managed from an app. DTG embeds ink immediately into pure fibres like cotton for a tender, breathable print, whereas DTF prints onto a movie first, then heat-presses it onto the garment, extending compatibility to polyester, leather-based, and oddly-shaped objects like hats and sneakers. A built-in digital camera scans every garment earlier than printing to detect gentle versus darkish cloth and routinely modify how a lot white underbase ink will get utilized, with out requiring guide enter.

Anker can be positioning the printer as a less expensive embroidery workaround, operating designs via a singular single-colour embroidery machine for texture, then layering color on prime through DTG to approximate multicolour embroidery at a fraction of the price. The firm says it can use odourless, water-based inks rated for 50 wash cycles with out seen fading, and the software program will assist frequent file codecs, plus AI-driven model filters that may convert pictures into watercolour or oil-painting results.

What’s fascinating is there are presently no safeguards stopping customers from printing copyrighted materials or offensive content material, a difficulty Anker reps say they’re nonetheless working via. Without pricing, it’s onerous to know what it may cost, however entry-level skilled DTG machines presently begin round $10,000 CAD, which is the hole Anker is making an attempt to shut.
