IFA has come and gone, and we've had a few weeks to settle in and collect our thoughts on everything that was shown off at the conference. It's not always a mobile-heavy event, but that doesn't mean you don't see companies pull out some crazy phones and gadgets to bring us back in.

We've sifted through everything for you, so sit back and check out Talk Android's favorites list from IFA 2018. And if we missed any of your favorites, drop us a comment and let us know what caught your attention!

LG G7 One

This one's tricky, because technically the LG G7 has already been on the market for a few months. But with this slight twist, LG has re-released their flagship as an Android One variant, which reminds us so much of the Google Play Edition phones that everyone's been clamoring to bring back lately.

It's close, anyway. LG isn't using the exact same hardware in the G7 One, so the processor is a notch down and there's no dual camera, but it's still one of the nicest, most high-end Android One devices we've seen so far, and it's basically a flavored version of an existing flagship.

The G7 One gets a nod for combining our love of flagship devices with stock Android, and it should definitely have Google worried for the Pixel 3.

Lenovo Yoga Chromebook

If we're being honest, Lenovo wins this for the same reason that LG did with the G7 One; they're combining a premium design and top-shelf hardware with Google-y software, and we just can't pass that up.

Typically, Chromebooks offer gimped versions of Intel's processors with low-resolution displays and clearly not enough storage. But with the Yoga Chromebook, you're getting a nice Lenovo laptop complete with their signature flipping and folding design, powerful Intel Core i5 processors, 4k screens, and spacious storage and memory options. It's not in the same category as gaming laptops, but it's aggressive and an excellent choice for power users while retaining Google's Chrome OS.

Honor Play

For anyone that read our Honor Play review right before IFA started, you probably already knew we really liked this phone. History tells us that gaming smartphones are overthought, gimmicky, and dumb devices that no one should pay attention to, but Honor actually managed to pull this one off with some serious elegance.

Sure, there are awesome features like 4D Smart Shock and 3D Surround Sound that really do create an immersive gaming experience (Fortnite when?) but even for your average user you're going to love the sleek design and stellar battery life. That solid performance won't hurt, either.

On top of that, it opens up the door for Huawei to get developers on board with its GPU Boost technology to improve gaming on Android, and that wallet-friendly price tag simply seals the deal.

Olloclip Universal Lens

The new universal lens system from Olloclip is a double-edged sword; it reminds us of how heavily iOS devices were favored just a few years ago, and how quickly Android devices are catching up to accessory makers and partners. Gadgets like this used to be designed exclusively for Apple devices, but with the rising popularity of affordable Android devices with great cameras it's just too hard for Olloclip to pass up that market.

The new universal lens system allows you to clip on a variety of Olloclip lenses to just about any Android phone or tablet, so you can snap those weird, hard-to-get shots without needing an actual, professional quality camera. There are macro and micro lenses, wide-angle and fish-eye lenses, and even some telephoto lenses.

Any Android photography enthusiast is going to want to pick this up as soon as it's available.

Qualcomm AptX Adaptive

It's easy to conflate Qualcomm with Snapdragon processors and assume that's all they do, but in reality Qualcomm has their hands in a lot of different specs and technologies that go into making your smartphone great. One of those innovations is AptX, a codec for streaming to Bluetooth devices in higher quality, and Qualcomm managed to up their game once again with AptX Adaptive at IFA this year.

It's not a physical product, but once AptX Adaptive starts to become available in smartphones and headphones you're going to notice a big improvement in your music and movies. The new protocol allows for much more adaptive streaming to your headphones, which means you'll either get a more efficiently handled stream that cuts out less, or a higher bitrate stream that simply sounds better.

Honestly, this would normally fly under the radar, but in a world where we're losing headphone jacks left and right, Qualcomm looks like a beacon in the dark with this kind of thing.
