We spent the week testing IFA’s best (and weirdest) gadgets, ask us anything
We’ve seen everything from smart home to smartphones. What do you want to know?
I’m Dom Preston, a news editor here at The Verge , and I’ve spent the last few days roaming the trade show halls together with senior smart home reviewer Jen Tuohy, putting as much as we can to the test.
As you can probably guess, Jen’s been checking out all things smart home, from Philips Hue’s new 360-degree Liane rope lights to Anker Eufy’s ominously named MindBase smart home hub . I’ve been out and about trying to see just about everything else, ranging from bezelless concept smartphones and Motorola’s new Wear OS watch to Acer’s flipping, swiveling DualPlay Mini concept handheld .
Whether you’ve got questions about those, or any of the many, many, many other products announced at the show, drop them in the comments, and we’ll be back in a few hours to bring you the answers.
