Personal Mobility
When you think about personal mobility, you probably think about cars. What we think about is all of the new smart and electric bikes and scooters that have been debuting at CES over the past few years. This year, there are more than a few of these types of products being unveiled.
NAVEE has debuted an electric golf cart and a new electric scooter with a design inspired by supercars
Electric scooters are one of the types of personal mobility devices that have been around the longest, and in recent years, they’ve gained more and more popularity among people looking for an easy solution to getting around faster without having to drive. This week at CES 2026, NAVEE has debuted a new supercar-inspired electric scooter and an electric push golf cart. The UT5 Ultra X is its latest scooter with a top speed of 43mph, and the capability to reach 12mph in 1.98 seconds. In other words, it’s pretty fast for a scooter.
Segway announces new e-bikes and its first-ever electric dirt bike
Segway was once the biggest name in personal mobility, but it’s branched out from those self-balancing machines over the years and into electric scooters and bikes. While these aren’t Segway’s first electric bikes, it did announce two new models at CES 2026, alongside an electric dirt bike that’s coming later this year. In addition, it announced a couple of safety accessories for the bikes, including a rearview radar that can help keep riders safe on the road.
TV and Home Entertainment
For many, the TV is the focal point of the home. The centerpiece, if you will. At least when it comes to entertainment. There are already some pretty impressive announcements surrounding TVs and related home entertainment products, and you’ll find all of that here. From TVs with massive displays to new features and technology that are pushing the segment forward.
Kilpsch debuts trio of new home speakers with Onkyo sound and Dolby Atmos support
Home speakers that are designed to be plugged in for power and connected with cables to your entertainment system aren’t usually as simple and quick to get up and running, but that’s about to change with the new speakers that were announced by Klipsch at CES 2026. These new speakers, the Fives II, Sevens II, and Nines II, all have the ability to connect through HDMI 2.1 and HDMIS eARC to make the setup process as quick and painless as it should be. There are also connections for optical, coaxial, analog input, and USB-C playback, so there are plenty of ways to listen to your music with these speakers.
Onkyo’s latest amplifiers let you stream music without losing high-fidelity sound
When it comes to home audio, one of the better brands out there for high-end equipment is Onkyo. It’s been around for 80 years, and the company is actually celebrating its 80th anniversary by introducing two new amplifiers at CES 2026 this week. The Muse Series Y-50 and Y-40 offer multiple connectivity options for ease of use and a simpler setup, and they have large 5.46-inch displays that you can use to look at metadata and track information about the music you’re playing.
This incredibly thin TV is built for your backyard barbecues

It comes with a peak brightness between 1,000 nits and 2,000 nits, which should be more than bright enough for outdoor scenarios.
LG unveils the world’s first Dolby Atmos FlexConnect sound system
If you like tech that lives on the bleeding-edge, then you want tokeep an eye on LG’s new sound system that it just unveiled at CES this week. It’s hailed as the world’s first sound system that supports Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, and it’s comprised of a soundbar, a subwoofer, and smaller rear and front channel speakers for a more immersive experience. The system is modular, too. So you can start with the soundbar and build out as you get more room or your needs change.
Samsung’s mega TV: The 130-inch monster that looks like a piece of art
Samsung believes in the philosophy of technology as art, and that couldn’t be more evident with its announcement of the 130-inch Micro RGB TV . This huge display sets the standard for Samsung’s offerings in the ultra-premium segment of TVs. While it will surely be costly, it’ll also drive conversation and make for some impressive movie nights.
LG’s new Wallpaper TV blends a thin design with completely wireless entertainment
Samsung isn’t the only brand that thinks of technology as art. Enter the new Wallpaper TV from LG, a TV so thin that it’s as thin as a standard pencil eraser. It’s also completely wireless, with everything that you’d want to connect to the TV directly being connected to the Zero Connect Box instead. Allowing the placement of the TV to be just about anywhere.
AWOL Vision unveils its most advanced projectors ever
TVs are a fantastic choice for home entertainment, but if you want to take things to the next level, a projector is a great way to go. AWOL Vision has been a leader in the consumer projector market of late, and its most advanced projectors ever were announced at CES 2026. Advancements include Diamond-Like Carbon-coated lenses for a light transmittance that gets boosted to 99.97%, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced certifications, and much more.
TCL launches the brightest TV ever made
Brightness can be an overlooked specification when it comes to TVs, but it’s an important factor when choosing one for your home, because it can greatly impact the visual experience. That is, unless the TV is brighter than anything that could cause this kind of negative impact. This week at CES 2026, TCL introduced the X11L TV , a TV with a peak brightness of a whopping 10,000 nits.
XGIMI wants to bring stories to life with its new Titan Noir Max projector
Those who are in the market for a projector definitely shouldn’t overlook the XGIMI Titan Noir Max , a projector that XGIMI claims can bring stories to life with the implementation of its new and improved Dynamic IRIS system, which it says takes contrast and turns it into a part of the narrative of whatever you’re watching.
LG Display introduces TV panels with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits
LG Display is the part of LG that makes all the display tech, and this year it has announced a new panel tech that reaches a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. This new tech also has an integrated coating that helps reduce light reflection to 0.3%, resulting in the ability to maintain that deep contrast and high visibility even when there’s a ton of light in the room.
Samsung is using AI to improve the TV experience across the board
Alongside its big TV announcements, Samsung also announced the Vision AI Companion , an AI feature of its new TVs that can bring together the different elements of a TV experience for a more well-rounded experience overall. Samsung is calling this a full entertainment companion that can guide users on what to watch, what to eat, and what to listen to for the best experience possible.
TCL is launching a new soundbar with sound by Bang & Olufsen
TCL continues to embody the very essence of affordable premium when it comes to home entertainment, and while the TCL X11L TV is a good representation of that, so is the company’s newly announced soundbar that has sound by Bang & Olufsen. It features 460W of total power, while also being coupled with a 6.5-inch subwoofer to ensure that you still get that booming bass that pairs so well with big blockbuster movies.
Hisense makes RGB MiniLED more affordable
Hisense, like TCL, is another leader in the affordable TV segment that often brings consumers more advanced and exciting features that are typically reserved for TVs that cost more. The same goes for TV panel technology. Hisense continues this trend by introducing the RGB MiniLED technology to its smaller TV options . Once reserved for its massive 116-inch TV that was announced last year, Hisense is now bringing it to its 55-inch models. It also plans to use these panels on TVs all the way up to 100 inches.
Wearables
CES is always ripe with new wearables from earbuds to headphones to smartwatches, and now that includes other emerging product categories like smart glasses. There have already been quite a few new wearables announced, and there will no doubt be more as the week carries on. If you find excitement and delight in the announcement of new wearable products that you can add to your collection, then this is the place to be.
Infinix AI Glasses Pro are perfect for travelers
Infinix is getting in on the smart glasses trend with the AI Glasses Pro , a pair of smart glasses that might be perfect for travelers and professionals who work abroad often enough. They have the capability to translate 169 different languages and in many different regional dialects, making these an invaluable part of any traveler’s kit if you need help navigating a language from somewhere you’re going. To top things off, these glasses have camera sensors for first-person-view image capture and more.
Razer is making a wearable AI headset
Razer isn’t exactly shy when it comes to trying new products out, but one area where it has stayed away from until now is wearable AI.

You can ask the AI questions and make requests, and the headset plays those responses back to you in the headset in real-time.

So you could easily translate stuff you see in another language hands-free.
Get the best of both worlds with Soundcore’s new open earbuds that also feature noise cancellation
Usually, with true wireless earbuds, you have to pick a pair that either has active noise cancellation or you need to pick an open ear style that allows you to be more situationally aware. Not with Soundcore’s new open earbuds, which actually feature both. The Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro also supports LDAC and Hi-Res audio, so you get great sound clarity for your music.
These earbuds translate up to 43 different languages
If you spend time traveling for any reason, or you live in a multi-cultural city where a lot of different languages are spoken, then you probably have a need for a device like these new earbuds from Timekettle . They can translate up to 43 different languages, and Timekettle claims it all happens in real time. They can also detect language pairs and context, making it simpler to talk to people in not just different languages, but also gather the context of what’s being said, so you don’t misunderstand something.
Xreal teams up with ASUS ROG to launch the coolest smart glasses around for gamers
CES isn’t entirely about gaming, but there’s always a lot of gaming-related products announced every year.

Slide these on, sit back, and enjoy gaming on a massive 171-inch screen that has a 240Hz refresh rate.
Rokid’s AI smart glasses are ultra-light for all-day comfort

A pair of smart glasses that come with an ultra-light design to promote all-day comfort. Because why would you want to wear a pair of glasses that aren’t going to be comfortable?

If the ASUS ROG Xreal R1 glasses are designed for gamers, and the Xreal 1S glasses are designed for everyone else.

For Qualcomm, these chipsets should be part of its next-gen Snapdragon offerings, which means it’s possible we could see these sometime later this year.
ESR made wireless chargers that cool your phone as they charge it up
All phones need to recharge at some point, but that doesn’t make it any better when they inevitably get warm from having sat on the charger for a while. This happens with wireless chargers as well, but ESR has now come out with a new series of wireless chargers that use what it calls CryoBoost technology, and as the name suggests, it cools the phone down as it charges. Pretty nifty.

Samsung debuts foldable OLED panel with no visible crease
The worst thing about foldable, for some, is the visible crease in the display that is essentially there with every single foldable phone on the market. Samsung appears to have solved this problem with its latest foldable OLED panel technology, which it showed off at CES 2026 this week. If it truly gets rid of the visible crease, then this could help more consumers become interested in foldable smartphones.

This Qi2 charger is also an interactive robot desk companion
Interactive AI robots are seemingly becoming all the rage in one way or another. If it’s not the home robot that does your laundry, then it’s something like this Qi2 charging dock from PISEN . This thing is actually pretty cool if you aren’t weirded out by tech that talks back to you. It has several ports for charging multiple devices at once, with Qi2 support, and a rotating base, and it’s powered by AI, which allows it to respond to voice-controlled tasks. It can even shop for you and take photos.
These pocket-sized SSDs are gonna be your new best friend
If you thought ShiftCam Gear and its Planck mobile-first SSDs were the only ones in the game, you’d be wrong. Thanks to the arrival of Hohem’s new pocket-sized SSDs that made a debut at CES 2026.

For everyday portable charging solutions, nothing really beats a super-thin power pack that you can slip into your bag or, even better, snap onto the back of your phone using magnets.

Anker’s latest Nano charger comes with a mini display

Samsung wants to put Gemini in 800 million Galaxy devices this year
Samsung has its own Galaxy AI, but there are things that Gemini might do that Galaxy AI can’t. That seems like a reasonable explanation for Samsung’s push to get Gemini into 800 million Galaxy devices in 2026. Samsung isn’t pushing for Galaxy AI in 800 million more devices. It’s pushing to get the number of Galaxy devices that have Gemini up to 800 million. Still, that sounds like a lofty accomplishment.
TCL unveils a new phone and tablet
TCL mainly makes TVs, but in the past few years or so, it’s been branching out into the phone and tablet segment. This year, it brought a new phone and a new tablet to CES, and we couldn’t be more excited about the Note A1 NXTPAPER , a tablet with a NXTPAPER display.

ShiftCam Gear is launching two new mobile-first SSDs and some new iPhone camera equipment
ShiftCam Gear might not be a name you’re familiar with, but it should be.

It’s also launching some new accessories for iPhones, including a hybrid camera rig .
Smart Home

The Lymow One Plus robotic mower can cut grass and mulch
There have been a lot of robotic lawn mowers that have been announced so far at CES, but this might be the first one we’ve seen that also mulches in addition to cutting your grass. The beauty of this is that it can take whatever is sucked up and shredded and then dump it back into the lawn to act as fertilizer. Which is a pretty sweet feature that might actually save you some money on fertilizer. The Lymow One Plus Mower also has the capability detect over 20 different yard objects to reduce collisions.
Govee’s latest machine will make you nugget ice, and it’ll do so without making a bunch of noise

It makes nugget ice, as suggested, and it’s supposed to do so pretty quietly, so it doesn’t bother you or other people in the home. It looks like there’s even a magnetic scoop that you can attach to the side so it has a place to stay when you’re not using it.

This year seems to be the year of robot mowers that aren’t hampered by steep inclines and tough terrain, as Rokibot is yet another brand that says it has a robot mower that can handle almost any terrain for uninterrupted grass cutting. The Rokibot G7 AWD adapts to terrain changes to ensure it continues with the job until it’s done. This includes climbing hills, and it even supports mowing areas that are up to 2.5 acres in size.
Nothing can hide from these new Ring sensors
Smart home security cameras and smart video doorbells can be great additions to the home, but they can only capture so much. Ring’s new sensors , which were announced at CES, aim to change that by integrating AI to help tell you exactly what’s happening outside your door. This should give even more peace of mind to homeowners and make it safer around the perimeter.
This colorful little sensor is like a Tamagotchi for your plants
If you grew up in the 90s, then you probably know what a Tamagotchi is and maybe even had one of your own. Heck, even if you grew up in the early 2000s and 2010s, there’s a good chance you’ve at least heard of it. Well, enter the Senso Smart Plant Sensor , which looks a lot like a Tamagotchi for your plants. You stick the sensor in the plant, and once you do, a little creature pops up on the integrated display that you can interact with. It gives you daily insights powered by AI, and it even gives you quests to complete that are based on caring for your plant. The sensor can also track data like soil moisture, temperature, and sunlight, all in real-time.
The Sora 70 pool cleaner will skim the water’s surface for an extra-clean pool
No more having to fish out that surface debris from your pool by yourself because the Sora 70 robotic pool cleaner from Beatbot is going to handle that for you. It comes with some really cool surface skimming technology that will grab debris and suck it up from the surface. Ensuring you have a fully clean pool, and not a pool with just clean floors and walls.
Roborock’s new robot vacuum climbs stairs without your help
Robot vacuums are great. They clean your floors pretty darn good, and they do it without much effort on your part. One issue with some of them, at least for people who live in apartments or homes with more than one floor, is that they don’t climb stairs and need help getting from floor to floor. Roborock’s new robot vacuum may be the answer for those consumers, as it can actually climb stairs. That being said, it can only climb over obstacles that are 3.3 inches high. If the steps are higher than that, then you’ll still need to give it a lift. This is still very cool, though.
LEGO makes playtime smarter with Smart Play bricks
LEGO has been around for ages, but much of what it’s created has been the same style of toy for kids, just based on different popular culture. At CES 2026 this week, it announced its next major innovative leap with the Smart Play bricks . These smart bricks have embedded sensors with support for tech like NFC and wireless charging. They can also produce sound, and they contain LED lights that can react to different stuff. This same technology is also built into new LEGO figures, and the whole system essentially lets your LEGO toys play back with you. It’s a pretty neat way to envision the future of LEGO.
Mammotion’s latest pool cleaner comes with different cleaning modes

It also features dual roller brushes and a max 6,800 GPH high-flow suction.
The Vbot Companion Robotic dog is designed to mimic a real dog
Dogs are a wholesome companion that we sometimes don’t deserve, but as companions, they love us all the same. We also tend to love them, and companionship is a big reason why many people get dogs. While it’s not quite the same, the Vbot Companion Robotic Dog is an alternative to a real pet that just might give you the kind of companionship you seek. It’s capable of perceiving its surroundings and even making decisions, as it was designed to mimic a real dog and is said to have lifelike movement.
This litterbox will clean itself, so you don’t have to

NexLawn’s Navia 6000 robotic mower is built for extra-large lawns

One area of improvement that NexLawn has honed in on is a mower that can properly care for extra-large lawns.

Once it’s scanned you, it can give you metrics like your aging index, your mental health index, your body index, and more.
This toilet accessory can tell you if you’re drinking enough water
That’s a sentence I didn’t ever think I’d string together, but when it comes to CES, there’s a wide world of weird and interesting products that make their way to the showfloor. One of those is the Vivoo Smart Toilet . While it’s not actually a full toilet, it attaches to one, and it was designed to detect your hydration levels. If you were curious about how hydrated you really are and no other existing methods have really worked for you, then this might be something to consider.

GE Lighting’s new smart shades are definitely going to be on your list of must-have items if you’re trying to automate anything you can. They’re Matter-compatible, and they offer a blackout option if you like being able to block out as much light as possible. They even come with a six-month battery and a high-efficiency motor.
Cheerble caters to multi-cat homes with its new smart pet feeder
Cats can be wonderful, but when you have more than one in the home, it can sometimes be tough to ensure that all of them are eating properly. Whether some of them have specialized diets or one of them is just greedy and tries to eat all the food, it can be a constant battle. That’s where Cheerble’s new Pet Feeder Match G1 comes in handy. It uses facial recognition technology to match the face of your cat to the data it stores locally, and will only open up the feeding dome if a match is made. This can simplify feeding cats with special diets and ensure that no sneaky cats are taking food from the others.
New cordless vacuums from Bosch can tell you when your floors are thoroughly clean
These might not be robot vacuums, but Bosch’s new cordless vacuums introduced at CES 2026 are still smart thanks to the MicroClean brush and sensors. The MicroClean sensors are what really make this magic, though. After doing a pass with the vacuum, or rather as the vacuum is picking stuff up, it analyzes all the debris and particles and sends that data to the MicroClean Ring.
