After exploring all the new offerings from manufacturers, we narrowed it down to 11 of the best new products from IFA 2022. Most of these products will arrive before the end of the year and we’re already testing some of them.
TCL 6 Series Roku

Jabra Elite 5
TYLER HAYES
The latest wireless earbuds from Jabra offer everything you need. They are comfortable, deliver great sound quality and are perfect for important details. Our full Jabra Elite 5 review is already live and we love the wireless charging case, on-ear detection, fit and clear audio. While we wish the active noise canceling was a little more powerful, we still love these new earbuds. You can buy them from Jabra starting at $149.99 with free engraving.
Dreame Bot L10s Ultra
Dreame Bot
While there are many robot mops and vacuum cleaners out there, the Dreame Bot L10s Ultra stands out for its ability to automate more than your average robot cleaner. The L10s Ultra features self-moistening mop heads, plus a dock that can hold clean water, dirty water and a dust bag that can hold up to 60 days of dirt. The dock can even clean the mop heads so you don’t have to intervene between cleaning cycles. Combine this with powerful suction and 3D mapping, and it’s an eye-catching robot cleaner.

The LG OLED Flex supports 20 different curve levels for the ultimate customization. In addition, the screen supports an option to adjust the amount of screen used, so you can use the full screen in an RPG and a smaller portion in a first-person shooter where you need to see everything without moving your head. Integrated lighting adds to the immersion by synchronizing with the content or audio on the screen. The monitor also includes a new LG Game app with Twitch, YouTube and other apps, as well as a Multi-View mode that lets you put two different sources on the screen at the same time and choose which one you want to hear.

The Asus Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is expensive, but it’s one of the first true consumer foldable laptops with a massive folding screen. This 17.3-inch laptop folds in half for a compact option when you’re on the go.
