Xiaomi introduced the 18 Fold at IFA 2026, a passport-sized folding phone. This device is notable for being the first Xiaomi flagship to feature an in-house processor, the XRing O3 chip, instead of Qualcomm or MediaTek.
The Xiaomi 18 Fold is shorter than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 and includes a triple-camera setup on the rear. The camera bar indicates a focal range of 17mm-80mm, suggesting approximately 3.5x optical zoom capabilities. Full specifications are expected at its September 7 launch.
Tecno presented its Next-Gen Bezelless Concept Phone at IFA, featuring a display that extends to all edges without bezels. This design aims for an immersive user experience, and initial hands-on impressions noted no false touches despite the edge-to-edge screen.
Tecno stated this is a concept device and not yet in mass production. The phone also incorporates a 3D flowery effect on its rear panel that does not require special glasses for viewing.
Motorola unveiled a Swarovski Edition of its Razr 2026 at IFA. This limited-edition model features a quilted back in Pantone meteorite color, adorned with 35 hand-positioned Swarovski crystals and an additional 32-facet crystal on the hinge.
While the standard Razr 2026 retails for $800, the Swarovski Edition is priced at 1,000 euros, which is approximately $1,160.
