IFA is Europe's big consumer tech show. Every year we head over to Berlin to check out everything in person. This year, we're also honoring the standouts with our Best of IFA award. This year, five products really caught our eye.
In no particular order, here are our five Best of IFA award recipients for 2016:
Samsung Gear S3
The Gear S3 sees Samsung's wearable mature into a complete and compelling product. The design and features have been refined to near perfection. The wearable is attractive, powerful, and smart all at the same time.
Check out the details and our hands-on.
Hasselblad True Zoom Moto Mod
Hasselblad and Motorola both played a role in the first moon landing back in 1969. The companies saw fit to partner on this module, which compliments the Moto Z Play Droid. It brings 10x optical zoom to Motorola's smartphone in a compact and useful add-on.
Check out the details and our hands-on.
Sony Xperia XZ
The Xperia ZX sees Sony mix just the right set of ingredients to bake its best smartphone. Sony put a lot of effort into the ZX's 23-megapixel camera, which promises to outshoot the competition. Toss in the capable selfie cam, swift processor, and rapid charging, and Sony has finally found its champion.

ZTE Axon 7 mini
