IFA 2024: all the key gear from Europe’s biggest tech show
IFA is back in Berlin for another year - here's all the very latest tech from the show
IFA is Europe’s biggest annual consumer technology expo. As usual it’s taking place at the massive Messe Berlin fairground in Germany where plenty of new smart home tech, kitchen appliances, PC, hi-fi, headphones and home theater gear have already been revealed.
The show is now in full swing and thousands of consumers are piling through the doors – yes, you can go yourself. The Stuff team were in Berlin, covering the cream of the announcements from some of the world’s biggest brands. Most of the new product announcements happened in the couple of days before the show. You can check out our pick of the announcements below.
- We’ve also chosen our Stuff IFA Awards 2024 as well where we’ve rewarded the cream of the crop from the show floor!
The Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (that’s IFA to you and me) has been running since way back in 1924, making it one of the world’s oldest trade shows. Nowadays it’s used as a platform for launching many of the biggest consumer tech products.
The show has had a return to form after a lean post-pandemic period, although it’s fair to say that it’s missing some key home entertainment exhibitors such as Sony and Philips that used to rent out an entire hall each. Yes, a whole hall – there are a huge 26 halls at the huge venue covering some 160,000 square metres.
Check out the best of the new product announcements so far below!
