IFA 2012 wrap-up: Galaxy Note II, 84-inch 4K TVs, Windows 8 convertibles and much more

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/01/ifa-2012-wrap-up/)

Europe's premier consumer electronics trade show has further cemented its status on the industry's radar, thanks in no small part to [Samsung](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Samsung,ifa), [Sony](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Sony,ifa) and a shocking number of [84-inch 4K TVs](http://www.engadget.com/tag/4K,ifa). Since Wednesday, we've welcomed a brand new [Galaxy Note](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/29/samsung-galaxy-note-ii/), a healthy heaping of smaller mobile phones, a few cameras (including that [Android stunner](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/29/samsung-ek-gc100-galaxy-camera-hands-on/)) and enough [laptops](http://www.engadget.com/tag/laptop,ifa) and [tablets](http://www.engadget.com/tag/tablet,ifa) to keep us computing well into the fall. From your perspective, the show ran silky smooth, though Berlin's mobile data plague continued to take its toll on our productivity, while the Messe's absolutely insane sprawl left us with a few well-worn shoes. As always, we still had a blast bringing you all the latest gear as it hit the floor, and German hospitality (and beer) made the setbacks a bit more bearable. Since there's oh so much to get through, we're sorting out our grouping of news and hands-ons from major manufacturers, followed by some smaller device makers and a few one-hit wonders -- all tidied up just past the break.
