The Best of IFA 2017

The IFA trade show in Berlin is Europe's version of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Every September electronics manufacturers all over the world come to Germany to show off their latest devices. It's the biggest source of major industry announcements of the fall, and we've been on the ground to cover it.

IFA takes place at Messe Berlin, a sprawling convention center with 25 separate halls scattered across multiple buildings. It's a labyrinthine schlep through hundreds of booths and displays showing off the newest appliances, hardware, phones, smart home tech, and wearables.

PCMag analysts Matthew Buzzi, Ajay Kumar, and Victoria Song spent the week in Berlin to survey the tech landscape as it shifts and evolves. And they came up with a handful of top picks from the show.

Remember, IFA is just the start. We're heading into autumn, and that means a lengthy holiday season with plenty of buildup to the shopping frenzy of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the holiday month after. Then, after the New Year, we head to Las Vegas for CES to keep you on the cutting-edge of technology for 2018.
