Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) 2015 includes a wide range of new and exciting tech, ranging from sleep trackers to robot vacuums, and from smartwatches to HD Blu-ray players. The yearly consumer electronics trade show is where tech giants are also showcasing new versions of everyday devices from top brands including smartphones, laptops, and televisions.
IFA 2015 features a wide array of new mobile devices from established brands. They include Sony Xperia Z5, Lenovo Phab and Phab Plus, Huawei Mate S, Acer Jade Primo, and Asus ZenFone Zoom, according to Pocket-Lint.
The Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was certainly one of the most notable mobile devices featured during Day 1 of the event. It includes the "world's first" 5.5-inch 4K resolution display.
Meanwhile, Huawei's Mate S will include Force Touch before Apple's iPhone. The sensitive touchscreen tech is already featured on the Apple Watch, though.
Samsung also unveiled its Gear S2 smartwatch. It has received high marks from tech experts due its circular shape, and looking more like a traditional watch than a computing gadget.
Alcatel introduced its 17.3-inch Xess Android tablet. It is designed to function as a multi-purpose hub for households in locations such as kitchens and living rooms.
Next, Philips' new Android-based 65-inch UHD 4K TV will be launched later in 2015. It features the company's Ambilight tech that extends the screen's image to a wall behind the unit.
Asus unveiled GX700, a new gaming laptop for its Republic of Gamers (ROG) product line. It will include an Intel K-series processor, NVIDIA graphics, and 4K resolution display, according to Engadget. The GX700 is so powerful that it will also include a water-cooling system.
Asus has also challenged Google's OnHub wireless router with its own spiky RT-AC5300. The company claims that its connections have a data capacity of 5.3 Gigabits per second (Gbps), delivering the world's fastest Wi-Fi.
Finally, Intel's "Skylake" processors are extremely speedy and efficient. The 14mm units will pave the way for a new generation of mobile PCs that are thinner and more durable.
