IFA 2025: we’re bringing you all the latest new gear from the world’s largest home and consumer electronics show
IFA Berlin is the world's largest event for home appliances and consumer tech with 215,000 visitors from 138 countries in 2024

IFA is one of the world’s biggest annual consumer technology expos and it’s just getting underway in Berlin, Germany. Indeed, as it welcomes in the public too, it’s by far the biggest in terms of attendance, with over 215,000 people roaming the halls last year.
As usual, it’s taking place at the massive Messe Berlin fairground where plenty of new smart home tech, kitchen appliances, PC, hi-fi, headphones and home theater gear is revealed.
You can check out the latest announcements below – our coverage this year is powered by Acer, who announced some big things yesterday. Expect most product announcements to appear by the end of today, is the press preview and trade day.
The show itself starts on Friday when thousands of consumers pile through the doors – yes, you can go yourself. The Stuff team are in Berlin right now, covering the cream of the announcements from some of the world’s biggest brands.
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 – you can check out a great brief history on Samsung’s newsroom website. Nowadays it’s used as a platform for launching many of the biggest consumer tech products.

The show has had a big return to form after a lean post-pandemic period. There are a massive 26 halls at the huge venue covering some 160,000 square metres plus other areas such as the vast CityCube arena, which is the home of Samsung during the show, boasting 8700 square metres of exhibit space. As we mentioned earlier, there were more than 215,000 visitors last year from 138 countries.
Over the next couple of days we’ll also be choosing our Stuff IFA Awards 2025 but for now check out last year’s winners here: Stuff’s IFA Awards 2024. And here are the best of the new product announcements so far!
