TECNO won two Global Product Technology Innovation Awards at IFA 2026 in Berlin, recognizing the TECNO Modular Phone and the Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro) mini gaming PC. The awards were given by IDG, IFA, and the German Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK).
The TECNO TAURUS took home the Miniaturized Gaming PC Technology Innovation Gold Award for its Italian-designed chassis and compact form factor. The TECNO Modular Phone received the Ultra-Slim Magnetic Modular Technology Innovation Gold Award for its thin build and magnetic modular system.
The Global Product Technology Innovation Awards were established in 2014 to recognize products that set benchmarks in the consumer electronics industry through smart technology and user-focused design.
TECNO Modular Phone
The TECNO Modular Phone measures 4.9mm thick, which makes it the slimmest modular smartphone currently available. It runs on the brand’s Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, a system that pairs a magnetic array with pogo-pin connectors to let users attach up to ten different modules depending on their needs.
The phone itself carries a 3,000 to 4,000mAh battery, while each module draws its own power once attached, letting users snap modules on or off without needing to charge through a port. Its portless unibody design also carries an IP rating for dust and water resistance. TECNO says the device is set to enter mass production soon, positioning it as a base device for running AI assistants without the space constraints of a typical smartphone chassis.
The TECNO Modular Phone has picked up more than 20 mentions from outlets including CNET, Android Authority, Yanko Design, and The Verge. CNET and Yanko Design listed it among their picks for Best of MWC 2026, while The Verge named it Best Mobile Tech at the same event.
Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro)
The Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS (MEGA MINI G1 Pro) is built on a roughly 6.36-liter vertical chassis with a transparent side panel, developed in partnership with the Italian design house. Inside, it runs on an Intel Core i9-13900HK processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU rated at 614 AI TOPS, a 145W TGP, and DLSS 4 support.
A water-cooling system is built in to help the PC maintain clock speeds under sustained load. The chassis also carries 15 ports, including OCuLink and USB4, along with WiFi 6E connectivity. Yanko Design previously named the TAURUS part of its Best of MWC selections.
