It has colorful green Joy-Cons and a lot of Triforce imagery. I think it looks nice. There’s a special Pro Controller and carrying case on the way, too.
They’ll all be available on October 29th, which is one week before the November 5th launch of the Ocarina of Time remake.
During its The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct today, Nintendo briefly shared a teaser for its next collaboration with Lego. The new set features Link brandishing the Master Sword while riding Epona as the horse rears up. Pricing and piece count aren’t known, but the set could arrive alongside Nintendo’s Ocarina of Time remake.
With the BrickStation Kit, Lego’s 1,911-piece replica of the original Sony PlayStation will be able to connect to a TV and play original PS1 games, as reported by Retro Dodo. When it eventually launches through Kickstarter, the upgrade will rely on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W for emulating games but you’ll have to supply your own functional controllers.
The new $79 Xteink X4 Classic is an updated version of the company’s original tiny e-reader with a larger 920mAh battery that comes at the cost of a USB-C port. Like the Xteink X3 and X4 Pro, the revamped X4 Classic now has a magnetic pogo pin connector on the back for charging and syncing.
The launch of its first foldable iPhone proves Apple still calls the shots.
Released today in China after last week’s IFA appearance, it pushes the new wide fold form factor just a touch further than Samsung did. It’s both shorter and wider, with a roughly 1.4:1 aspect ratio on both screens — about the same proportions as international paper standards or a 1.43:1 IMAX screen. Finally, a phone designed for The Odyssey.
Lenovo’s Project Swan has a screen that literally unrolls. The prototype could use better speakers and some weight balancing, but I love watching it in motion!

Fairphone’s proper US debut feels like a triumph in the middle of RAMageddon.
Remember Frore and its fan-replacing AirJet cooling tech? Sure looks like Lenovo is taking it seriously!
Following the standalone Magic Drawing Pad from 2024, XP-Pen is now launching the Android 16-based Magic Pro 13 next month to tempt creatives away from sketching on iPads. The price hasn’t been announced yet, but it features a 3096 x 2064 resolution LCD display, with 100 percent sRGB coverage, 650-nit brightness, and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.
A software update for Remarkable’s E Ink tablets introduces a new tool that can capture images of on-screen content by drawing a circle, or any shape, around what you want. The captures can be imported into your notebooks and repositioned, resized, and rotated as needed. The update also introduces improved formatting options for EPUB files and new pen stroke colors.
Sometimes, one purchase more than makes up for the annual cost of a Costco membership. HP’s OmniBook 3 is a good example of that. It has a Snapdragon X processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 1200p OLED screen, and through September 6th it costs just $449.99 ($200 off) at Costco. Seems like a capable Arm-based machine for the price that’s great for entertainment, too.

HP is adding to the impending deluge of RTX Spark computers due in October with the OmniBook X 14, OmniBook Ultra 16, and the small form factor OmniDesk. My colleague Dom saw the Ultra among other Nvidia-powered laptops at IFA, but we still don’t know any prices.
Considering HP’s specs show both OmniBooks will start with 32GB of unified memory and 1TB of storage, signs point to them being expensive.
We haven’t had the chance to try it on our own pearly whites yet, but The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy got a brief hands-on with Dyson’s new camera-equipped electric toothbrush at IFA 2026 where the company had a set of simulated teeth for taking the brush for a test drive.
Only one of them switched on, and apparently it wasn’t even meant to, so I’ve got no deep performance insights about the first laptops powered by Nvidia’s RTX Spark chip. But Dell, Lenovo, MSI, Asus, HP, and Microsoft are all on board with hardware already — hopefully we’ll get the details on them all before too long.
The Luna Pro is already out in China. We’re still waiting for a US launch, but it was on the company’s stand at IFA so I had a play. It’s single-lens, but can use the 8K sensor to capture 4K footage either landscape or portrait, and has the Ultra’s detachable display too.
Double-decker robovacs, a smartphone that eliminates the screen bezel, and another laptop with an expanding screen.
I thought the Mission 1 Pro ILS would be the thing to generate some buzz for GoPro. What I didn’t anticipate was YouTuber investment drama and getting acquired for defense consulting. Below are my impressions of the Mission 1 cameras.
Join Jen Tuohy and me as we answer your questions about everything we’ve seen at IFA so far, from smart home tech to phones, watches, laptops, and more. You can drop your questions on our dedicated AMA post right now, and we’ll be answering them from 12PM ET.

In addition to improved AI capabilities that are better at understanding and translating longer multilingual conversations, Timekettle’s new $379 W4 Plus earbuds can translate videos from YouTube, Netflix, and other platforms while you’re wearing just one of the buds. Last year’s W4 required you to wear both, with one playing the original audio while the other played the translation.
The smart ring company filed for an initial public offering on Thursday, revealing over $1.4 billion in revenue between July 2025 and June 2026, along with 5 million paid members.

Privacy screen protectors that appear black when viewed to the side aren’t new. Neither are ones that display logos or messages. But I’m tickled by the “Intimacy Shield” from Joi AI. The pitch makes its screen-dimming effect seem like a breakthrough, though I guess it gets credit for injecting some corny graphic T-shirt energy into the screen protector space.
