BERLIN – From folding phones to solar-powered speakers and watches that track your body temperature around the clock, innovation abounds at IFA 2023. 

IFA technically kicks off today in Berlin, but it seems like Lenovo may have won the thing outright. I’ve given the company plenty of credit in the past for its willingness to try new things in this oft-staid world of consumer electronics, and it’s really come out of the gates swinging.

BERLIN—IFA 2023 has garnered some exciting innovations for the smart home.

If you asked me back in January 2023 what my most anticipated show of the year was, the answer was easy: Babylon Berlin season 4. There were several reasons it was at the top of my list, from the way the show built a glorious and grounded mystery in its previous seasons to the way it traced the crumbling Weimar Republic. Annoyingly, it was also my most anticipated show of 2022, and 2021 before that.

Lenovo Legion Go was launched during the IFA (Internationale FunkAusstellung Berlin) 2023 in Berlin on Friday (September 1) as the company's first Windows gaming handheld device. It features an 8.8-inch QHD+ display with up to 144Hz refresh rate and is powered by the new AMD Ryzen Z1 series of processors. The handheld gaming console runs on Windows 11 Home with Legion Space software on top. It comes with Hall Effect joysticks for improved responsiveness and accuracy during gaming sessions. The Lenovo Legion Go will compete with the likes of Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch, and Asus ROG Ally (Review).

BERLIN—At IFA 2023, Honor presented its latest folding phone, the Honor Magic V2, which the company says is the thinnest and lightest book-style smartphone. The Magic V2 is just 0.39 inches (9.9mm) thick when folded and weighs 8.15 ounces with the vegan-leather-backed version or 8.36 ounces with the glass-backed one. For reference, the Google Pixel Fold comes in at 0.5 inches (12.7mm) folded and 10 ounces, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is 0.53 inches (13.5mm) when closed and weighs 8.92 ounces. The Magic V2 is also lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro Max (8.47 ounces) and just 0.08 inches thicker than that slab phone.

BERLIN—Roborock makes some of the best robot vacuums, and now the brand has its sights set on disrupting the large home appliances market. 

Following its previous report with leaked images of the device, Windows Central has now shared detailed specifications and release date for the Lenovo Legion GO Steam Deck/Nintendo Switch-inspired PC portable.

The Dornier Do X was the biggest, heaviest, and most powerful flying boat in the world when it launched in 1929. It was also magnificent, weird, brashly ambitious, deeply flawed, and inevitably doomed—and, for those and unrelated reasons, my favorite plane of all time. We'll never be able to fly in one in real life (they're all long gone) but now we can get a sense of what it was like in Microsoft Flight Simulator, which just added the great flying boat as a new Local Legend.

There were previous reports that Lenovo may be preparing to release a handheld PC gaming device that will compete with the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally. A recent article from Windows Report goes more in-depth regarding the rumored handheld device, while also revealing that there could be AR goggles to accompany it.

Unveiled earlier this year, Neo Berlin 2087 turned a few heads with its futuristic setting and its promise of a story-driven first and third-person action RPG shooter, and developer Elysium Game Studio has returned with another look at the game with a new trailer released at Gamescom.

Neo Berlin 2087 is kind of an odd duck, dropping out of the clear blue sky on PlayStation's YouTube channel one day looking like Unreal Engine 5's first bargain bin inhabitant. Well, we got another trailer, again on PlayStation's channel and ostensibly for Gamescom (despite ONL still being a few days away), and the title is starting to look more promising, if familiar.

LAS VEGAS–A successful hack of a Tesla Model 3’s electronics yielded an unusual real-world benefit: warmer backsides in the back seat. 

Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC agreed Tuesday on a multibillion-dollar deal to build a plant in Germany, part of a push to put Europe at the centre of the global semiconductor industry.

Tesla has been locking certain features for vehicle owners behind a paywall. Dumb as it sounds to have to deal with in-car purchases after you've already paid for the car outright, Tesla isn't the only car manufacturer doing this, but its owners are asked to pay extra for things like faster acceleration and heated rear car seats. And there are inevitably those who have been searching for a backdoor—and find one, they have. 

Worldcoin will expand its operations to sign up more users globally and aims to allow other organisations to use its iris-scanning and identity-verifying technology, a senior manager for the company behind the project told Reuters.

One of the best mission types in Hitman World of Assassination is Elusive Targets. The Drop is a new Elusive Target featuring DJ Dimitri Vegas, whom Agent 47 has been contracted to assassinate. Unlike past missions, this one has only been teased, with a release window months away.
