TECNO’s Modular Phone and TAURUS win gold at IFA 2026, recognising breakthroughs in mobile and gaming technology
From a 4.9mm modular smartphone to an ultra-compact water-cooled gaming PC, TECNO is challenging conventional ideas about how much technology can be packed into a device. At IFA 2026, the global AI-driven innovative technology brand received two IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Awards for the TECNO Modular Phone and Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI […]
TECNO, a global AI-driven innovative technology brand, has been honored with two IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Awards at the IFA 2026 event. The TECNO Modular Phone and the Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro) received the Ultra-Slim Magnetic Modular Technology Innovation Gold Award and the Miniaturised Gaming PC Technology Innovation Gold Award, respectively.
These recognitions highlight TECNO's commitment to solving complex engineering challenges through innovative device architecture, modularity, performance, and design.
The TECNO Modular Phone, just 4.9mm thick, is the world's slimmest modular smartphone, challenging the traditional trade-off between slimness and expandability. Its proprietary Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, which combines a precision magnetic array with pogo-pin connectors, enables a modular ecosystem of ten high-performance modules that can be attached according to user needs.
The phone features a 3000-4000mAh battery, a portless unibody design for IP rating for dust and water resistance, and serves as a physical gateway for personal AI assistants. The device has earned over 20 accolades from leading technology and design media and is set to enter mass production soon.
In the realm of personal computing, TECNO's innovation extends with the Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro), a compact water-cooled gaming PC at approximately 6.36 litres. The device's vertical chassis and panoramic transparent window combine a compact footprint with a bold aesthetic. Powered by an Intel® Core i9-13900HK and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 5060, TAURUS delivers 614 AI TOPS, 145W TGP, and DLSS 4.
Its integrated water-cooling system supports sustained peak frequencies under load, while 15 ports and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity provide expandability for gaming and AI-focused workloads. The design was previously recognized with a Yanko Design Best of MWC award.
