TECNO secured two IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Awards in Berlin for its 4.9mm Modular Smartphone and the Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS water-cooled gaming PC, highlighting engineering breakthroughs in device architecture, compact cooling, and mobile AI hardware integration.
Technology brand TECNO picked up two IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Awards at IFA 2026 in Berlin, claiming recognition for a slim modular smartphone and an ultra-compact gaming system. The Global Product Technology Innovation Awards were established in 2014 by IDG, IFA, and DIHK to celebrate excellence across the global consumer electronics industry, honoring products that set new industry benchmarks and drive innovation through intelligent technology and user-centric design. These awards once again demonstrate TECNO’s sustained breakthroughs in product innovation and industry-leading craftsmanship in design excellence.
TECNO Modular Phone Wins Ultra-Slim Gold
Measuring just 4.9mm thick, the TECNO Modular Phone took home the Ultra-Slim Magnetic Modular Technology Innovation Gold Award, praised for its ultra-slim craftsmanship and unique modular magnetic technology. The device runs on proprietary Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology that pairs a precision magnetic array with pogo-pin connectors, offering a flexible ecosystem of ten high-performance modules that respond dynamically to changing user needs. At just 4.9mm, the TECNO Modular Phone is the world’s slimmest modular smartphone, challenging the traditional trade-off between slimness and expandability.
While the host smartphone retains a 3000–4000mAh battery, attached modules draw power directly for a snap-and-go experience. The portless unibody design also achieves an IP-rating for dust and water resistance. Built to serve as the ultimate physical gateway for personal AI assistants, the technology also resolves the inherent conflict between rising AI computing demands and limited device space.
The modular handset has already accumulated over 20 accolades from leading media including CNET, Android Authority, Yanko Design, and The Verge. Outlets including CNET and Yanko Design named it among the Best of MWC 2026, while The Verge recognized it as the Best Mobile Tech at MWC 2026. TECNO confirmed that the TECNO Modular Phone is also set to enter mass production soon.
Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS Gaming PC
In the personal computing category, the Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro) took the Miniaturized Gaming PC Technology Innovation Gold Award, standing out with its Italian aesthetics and the exceptional performance in the compact body. Measuring approximately 6.36 liters, TAURUS is one of the world’s smallest water-cooling gaming PCs. Its vertical chassis with a panoramic transparent window fuses iconic Italian design with raw engineering, transcending traditional hardware to bring a luxury lifestyle into the gaming tech arena.
Underneath the compact exterior, it is powered by the Intel® Core™ i9-13900HK and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 (614 AI TOPS, 145W TGP, DLSS 4), achieving the absolute pinnacle of performance, empowering gamers with high-fidelity play and users with a high-efficiency AI workstation. The water-cooling system sustains peak frequencies under load, while 15 ports including OCuLink, USB4, and WiFi 6E deliver expandability and connectivity. The design was previously recognized with Yanko Design’s Best of MWC award, further highlighting the device’s combination of performance and distinctive design.
