Kenyan tech brand TECNO has achieved two IFA Global Product Technology Innovation Awards at IFA 2026 for its products: the TECNO Modular Phone and the Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS. The awards, established in 2014 by IDG, IFA, and DIHK, celebrate excellence across the global consumer electronics industry. TECNO's products were recognized for their innovative designs and technologies.
The TECNO Modular Phone was honored with the Ultra Slim Magnetic Modular Technology Innovation Gold Award. This phone is the world's slimmest modular smartphone, measuring just 4.9mm in thickness. It features a proprietary Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology that allows for a flexible ecosystem of ten high-performance modules. The phone's design and technology have earned over 20 accolades from leading media outlets.
The Tonino Lamborghini TECNO TAURUS took the Miniaturized Gaming PC Technology Innovation Gold Award. This mini PC is one of the world's smallest water-cooling gaming PCs, measuring around 6.36 liters. It features a vertical chassis with a panoramic transparent window and combines Italian design with high-performance engineering. The device is powered by an Intel Core i9 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card.
The TECNO Modular Phone is set to enter mass production soon, which is expected to excite Kenyan buyers who currently rely on local phone dealers for their TECNO devices. The phone's design addresses the conflict between rising AI computing demands and limited device space. It also features a portless unibody with an IP rating for dust and water resistance.
The Global Product Technology Innovation Awards recognize products that set new industry benchmarks and drive innovation through intelligent technology and user-centric design. TECNO's awards demonstrate its sustained breakthroughs in product innovation and industry-leading craftsmanship in design excellence. The brand is known for pushing design boundaries beyond its familiar Camon, Spark, and POVA phones.

These concept devices feature revolutionary designs, such as a 0mm screen bezel and a convertible laptop design. While they are not yet available for purchase, they may influence future TECNO products.
