IFA 2025 highlights: The biggest announcements so far

Table of Contents

It's all eyes on Berlin for the next few days as tech brands debut their latest, fanciest, and most AI-laden gadgets at IFA 2025. Similar to what we see at CES in Las Vegas, some products are awesome, some are totally creepy, and others leave us wondering who would ever need such a thing. Tons of big hitters are in attendance for IFA 2025 like Samsung, Anker, Acer, Hisense, LG, and hundreds more.

The show runs through Sept. 9, so check back as we continue to update this page with the best IFA 2025 products. Below are standouts from the show as we head into the weekend.

The Eufy MarsWalker is coming for your stairs

Tech shows are no strangers to robot vacuum innovations, and IFA 2025 is following suit. Your multi-story home will love the Eufy MarsWalker. To specify, the MarsWalker refers to the transport that'll take the Eufy RoboVac Omni S2 up and down the stairs.

The RoboVac drives itself into the MarsWalker, nestling in for a safe journey up the stairs to continue on its mission of cleaning up crumbs. This is in contrast to the Dreame X50 Ultra, which is basically really good at getting over major two-inch thresholds but can't actually climb stairs, while the MarsWalker glides over them. Plus, it's capable of ascending and descending straight, L-shaped, and U-shaped staircases.

Color us impressed considering it wasn't all that long ago that robot vacuums tumbled down the stairs and left themselves lifelessly upside-down. Eufy hasn't released official launch dates yet, but says we can expect the Eufy RobotVac Omni S2 in January of 2026 with a price tag of $1,599 and the MarsWalker to follow in spring of 2026 with no pricing as of yet.

Soundcore's Nebula X1 Pro is a one-stop entertainment system

Anker makes tons of projectors under the Nebula brand name, which has now joined the brand's Soundcore umbrella. In testing, I loved the super portable Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser mini projector, and it came with me to Japan, fitting neatly into my 15-pound backpack. At IFA 2025, Anker introduced the incredibly not-portable Nebula X1 Pro projector, which is so massive, it comes on wheels.

To call this a projector is a bit of an undersell since it comes packed with other features and Soundcore mentions it’s a “mobile theater station.” As a projector, the Nebula X1 Pro gives off a 4K display with 3,500 ANSI lumens. By comparison, the portable Nebula Capsule that I love maxes out at 300 lumens.

Projectors are notorious for coming with terrible onboard speakers, but the Nebula X1 Pro aims to break that stereotype by incorporating Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. To give off the surround-sound vibe, Soundcore uses a 7.1.4 speaker layout which equates to seven surround channels, one subwoofer, and four overhead height channels.

There’s no onboard battery on the X1 Pro, and instead, you’ll need to plug it in via the 6.6-foot retractable power cable. Given that the top of the projector’s housing opens with storage space for two microphones, the Nebula X1 Pro could be the ultimate party system, serving as a projector, speaker, and karaoke machine. 

Soundcore will launch the Nebula X1 Pro on Kickstarter on Sept. 23, and says it’ll cost somewhere between $4,000 and $5,000. However, you can snag a massive discount before Sept. 9 by placing a preorder deposit. Head to the Nebua X1 Pro’s product page, navigate to the upper right, and hit “claim your offer now.” A $100 deposit earns you a spot in the first-tier early bird section, getting the projector for a total of $2,499 once it goes live on Kickstarter. Soundcore says the first deliveries of the Nebula X1 Pro are slated for November with priority shipping. With any luck, the projector will arrive before holiday parties in December.

The Samsung Sound Tower wants a party invitation

Party speakers are having a spotlight moment, and we're all invited. The JBL Party Box 520 was a star at a Mashable wedding over the summer and brands are taking note of their popularity. At IFA 2025, Samsung literally packed the party by introducing the Sound Tower ST50F and Sound Tower ST40F.

Indoor or outdoor parties are in for a treat with either of the new Samsung Sound Towers. The ST50F comes with 25mm dual dome tweeters, dual 6.5-inch woofers, and a battery that can last for up to 18 hours. It's a big one, so it's equipped with a telescopic handle, wheels, and an IPX4 water resistance rating. The smaller Sound Tower ST40F gets up to 12 hours of battery life with 5.25-inch dual woofers and 20mm dual dome tweeters.

With the Samsung Sound Tower App, partiers can set the LED lights to sync with the music's rhythm. The app also has customizable mood lighting that sets off various effects, movements, and color schemes, according to Samsung.

Both models are on the books to come out later in September, and the Sound Tower ST50F will come with a price of $699.99, while the smaller Sound Tower ST40F comes in at $499.99.

Make an at-home art studio with the EufyMake E1 UV Printer

Who needs a 3D printer when you can get a UV printer? The EufyMake E1 UV Printer allows you to print on nearly anything, and you can do so with 3D texture. Stick your face on every mug in your home, make your own art pieces, gift everyone personalized stickers for Christmas 2025, and never wear a bland, blank T-shirt ever again. You could even launch your own Etsy shop. These are just a few ideas you can create with the EufyMake E1 UV Printer, which is set to debut for customers in December 2025, but Eufy mentions preorders could begin shipping as early as October.

You can already preorder the EufyMake E1 UV Printer, and all bundles are at least $200 off. The basic bundle is listed at $2,499, but you can preorder it for $2,299 with promo code WS24e1basicbundle.

Bluetti's sodium-powered Pioneer Na portable power station

Portable power stations are truly some of the best innovations we've seen in years, revolutionizing the camping experience as well as offering a way to stay on-grid during a power outage. Bluetti has been a leader in the industry, and the brand will debut the Pioneer Na at IFA 2025 on Sept. 6. Instead of the industry-standard lithium-ion phosphate battery (which we often see as LiFePO4), the Pioneer Na will use a sodium-ion battery, and that means it'll be ready to go in low temperatures.

That could be awesome if you live in a cold climate that gets coated in snow, ice, and negative temperatures in a winter that lasts for seemingly half of the year. The Pioneer Na portable power station comes with 900Wh of battery capacity with 1,500W of continuous power. We're waiting on word from Bluetti about pricing, but the brand has said it'll be available for purchase in mid-October.

Become the star of the neighborhood with the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism

Govee seriously showed up prepared to wow at IFA 2025. The brand debuted several new smart lighting options, and a highlight is the new Prism model of the permanent outdoor lights. They'll come with a triple-color lighting effect for a more dynamic display. Govee mentions the adjustable brightness ranges from 6500K to 2700K, so there are options for super bright displays to chill, warm lighting. The Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism come with the brand's LuminBlend color management system, giving users the option to choose from an astonishing 16 million color options.

The lights are designed to never come down, working in a temperature range between -30 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Govee says they'll get 50,000 hours of life, which equates to 4,166 days, should you have the lights on for 12 hours each day.

Govee has the Permanent Outdoor Lights Prism listed with a release date of Sept. 22 for an undisclosed price. They'll also land at Amazon on launch day.

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro that rivals the Apple Watch Ultra 3

Garmin is coming in hot with a new flagship smartwatch — the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro. It's a total coincidence that it goes on sale on Sept. 8, just one day before we anticipate the announcement of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 at the brand's annual launch event.

Garmin has designed the Fenix 8 Pro for serious athletes. Not only does it come with the standard 24/7 fitness tracking, it has an LED flashlight, a mix of satellite and cellular connectivity, and the ability to send a signal to Garmin’s Response Center should you require help. It can also get up to 15 days of battery life and you can leave family with the ability to follow your location thanks to Garmin's Livetrack location sharing technology.

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro comes in two versions — an AMOLED display and an upgraded micoLED. The AMOLED is available in a 47mm and 51mm size with prices starting at $1,199.99. The microLED is available in just the 51mm size with a price of $1,999.99.

The Acemate Robot is an always-available tennis mate

Sometimes AI is atrocious, but other times, it's pretty rad. Tennis players who struggle to find friends with a similar schedule can now play with the rally-master Acemate Robot. The Acemate rolls around the court, catching balls in its hopper and then serving balls back at up to 80 miles per hour and eight meters high. Combined, this allows for a single-player tennis practice that mimics what it'd be like with a fellow player.

Since the Acemate is using cameras to catch and serve balls back, it's also capturing swing techniques, accuracy, and more. After your tennis lesson is over, you can review footage and stats like ball speed, spin, and landing points. The Acemate is already in production after a successful Kickstarter campaign, and units should begin shipping in November. Preorders get a major $900 discount. There's also a pickleball version if tennis isn't your thing.

Acer's first Chromebook with an NPU — the Acer Plus Spin 514

Acer's first go at a Chromebook with NPU means it packs in the AI features. Mashable Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel spent some time with the new Acer Plus Spin 514 and wrote, "Based on my few hours with the Spin 514 so far, I think it's a great pick for early AI adopters, but also just anyone who wants a solid budget 2-in-1 laptop with a premium design and good amount of power for the price."

Sure, it has tons of AI features, but Henschel noted it's simply a nice budget 2-in-1 laptop that could work great for a wide range of laptop users. The price points land on the higher end for a Chromebook, but it comes with a premium feel, according to Henschel. It can also move into a tent mode or lie flat in tablet mode. While we haven't tested the battery life yet, Acer's press release says it can get up to 17 hours of web browsing on a single charge, which would put it well above the minimum Mashable likes to see in Chromebooks.
