IFA 2026 Closes With 6.78-Inch Bezel-Less Phone and 2-Bot Roomba Duo

Summary

  • Berlin’s IFA 2026 wrapped up after a week of launches led by Tecno’s 6.78-inch Bezelless concept phone and iRobot’s Roomba Duo, a two-robot cleaning system.
  • Tecno’s concept tucks a 144Hz OLED panel under the frame to nearly erase visible bezels, pairing the design with a Dimensity 7400e chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and a 6,000mAh battery.
  • iRobot’s Duo combines a large flagship robovac with a smaller Roomba Plus 757 stored on top, letting the main unit handle heavy vacuuming and steam-mopping while the sidekick reaches tight spaces.
  • Other notable reveals included Lenovo’s 14-to-17-inch roll-out laptop concept, TCL’s 6.83-inch Nxtpaper phone, and Oukitel’s solar-lid laptop that can charge at up to 10W.
  • The show’s broader lineup underscored IFA’s focus on experimental form factors, smarter home devices and premium hardware stretching from $349.99 sleepbuds to a $5,999 ultra-short-throw projector.
