30 of the best gadgets we’ve used at CES 2026

Beatbot Sora 70

You’ll likely have heard of robot vacuums and even robot lawn mowers, but Beatbot is a global leader in the world of robot pool cleaners. While the AquaSense 2 Ultra won a Best in Show award at last year’s CES, this year Beatbot has unveiled its latest model with the Sora 70.

Designed to deliver “everyday pool care through strong hardware performance”, the Sora 70 is equipped with JetPulse Water Surface Cleaning, a dual-flow jet system that guides debris towards the suction inlet and into the mighty six-litre tank.

The Sora 70 is also fitted with an industry-first floating system coined Smart Surface Parking, which adjusts buoyancy by drawing in air and expelling water to allow the robot to rise smoothly to the surface when it’s finished cleaning. 

Although Beatbot has promised the Sora 70 offers “all-round value”, it’s yet to reveal the RRP yet and just states that the Sora 70 pool cleaner will be available in Spring 2026.

DuRoBo Krono

First unveiled back at IFA 2025, DuRoBo has finally announced the release date for its highly anticipated Krono tablet. In case you missed it, the DuRoBo Krono is a three-in-one e-ink tablet that works as an e-reader, AI-powered note taker and audio player.

At 6.13-inches, the Krono is a similar size to many of the best smartphones and runs on Android so you can download your most-used apps such as Spotify, Kindle and even WhatsApp. 

DuRoBo has revealed that the Krono will retail at $279.99 / €279.99 and will begin shipping in late January.

Shure MV88 USB-C

Content creators who want to enhance their audio but without needing to deal with complicated setups or installations will certainly appreciate the Shure MV88 USB-C. Compatible with both iPhone and Android, the MV88 microphone connects via the USB-C port and can start recording instantly. 

Despite being easy to set up, the MV88 is equipped with plenty of tools to ensure your audio sounds great at all times. There’s Shure’s Auto Level Mode which automatically adjusts the microphone gain in real-time and Real-Time Denoiser to remove unwanted sounds from your recording.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Plus

Qualcomm unveiled the latest addition to its Snapdragon X series, the Snapdragon X2 Plus chip, which is designed to deliver “lightning-fast performance and fluid multitasking” especially in “ultra-portable Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs”. 

With a 3rd Gen Qualcomm Oryon CPU that promises up to 35% faster single-core performance while using 43% less power than its predecessor and Hexagon NPU that delivers 80 TOPS of AI performance, the X2 Plus is aimed at professionals, creators and everyday users who want power but without splurging for the privilege. 

Segway Muxi

Muxi, pronounced “moo-shee”, is Segway’s latest e-bike that’s not only packed with features to ensure safer cycling, but has a “retro cool meets modern” short-tail design that offers something different.

Otherwise, Muxi is fitted with Hill Start Assist to prevent rollback when starting on an incline, Hill Descent Control and Traction Control System to modulate power too. In addition, the Muxi benefits from Segway’s Intelligent Ride System which includes the likes of Apple Find My support, real-time health and fitness data app syncing, an intelligent lighting system and much more.

The Muxi will be available from March 2026 with a starting price of $1699.99.

Hisense X-Zone Master Washer Dryer

If you’re fed up with constantly needing to tackle your ever-growing pile of laundry, then the Hisense X-Zone Master Dryer is here to help. Hailed as the “world’s first scalable washer-dryer platform”, the X-Zone is fitted with a high-capacity main drum alongside two mini drums (or “modules”).

That means the X-Zone allows you to wash a larger load in the main drum while separating smaller loads into the additional modules, all at the same time. The idea behind the design is to prevent households from mixing delicate fabrics while reducing the wait time between each cycle. 

Not only that but the main drum is equipped with Hisense’s heat pump hybrid drying system too while the smaller modules rely on fresh-air condensation to gently but efficiently dry delicate fabrics.

Sylvox Frameless Pro 75” Outdoor TV

Sylvox has introduced the world’s “first ultra-narrow bezel television” for outdoor use at CES. Said to be up to 90% thinner than standard outdoor models, the Frameless Pro boasts a 4K UHD resolution, anti-glare panels and up to 2000 nits brightness too – making it perfect for immersive viewing outdoors. The Frameless Pro also runs on the Google TV Platform so you have access to all your favourite streaming apps and Google Assistant voice control via the included remote.

If the thought of an outdoor television worries you, then fear not as the Frameless Pro is equipped with an IP56 dust and water resistance rating and supports temperatures from -30°C to 50°C. 

The Frameless Outdoor TV Series is available via the Sylvox website and selected retail partners, including Amazon, Walmart and Target.

Plaud AI Plaud NotePin S

Known for its range of AI-powered note-taking devices, which are especially useful during meetings or when tackling the countless booths of CES, Plaud AI has introduced its most wearable and portable device yet. 

The NotePin S is a pill-shaped AI note tracker which can be worn as a necklace, wristband, clip or pin. By just pressing the button at its front, you can instantly start capturing audio with its dual high-fidelity microphones and AI speech enhancement.

Once your meeting is finished, the NotePin S will automatically process and transcribe the notes for you, plus give the ability to add extra details and export them to your email. 

Building on the success of the M60, Edifier has unveiled the new M90 speaker that promises to bridge the gap between desktop audio, TVs, streaming platforms and gaming consoles. 

With a four-inch mid-low driver, silk-done tweeter and up to 1000dB SPL, the M90 speaker also integrates HDMI eARC to bring high-bandwidth audio.

Dreame LEAPTIC Cube

Although Dreame is known for its range of robot vacuums and hard floor cleaners, the brand has taken the surprising leap into action cameras. 

With an 8K sensor, AI stabilisation and up to a whopping 220 minutes of battery life (when paired with the external battery dock), although the Leaptic Cube might sound similar to some of the best action cameras currently on the market, Dreame is targeting the camera at creators who want smarter automation with higher resolution.

Pricing and availability is still unconfirmed, so we’ll have to hang tight to see how the Dreame Leaptic Cube really performs.

XREAL 1S

Xreal has unveiled the new 1S which is the brand’s most “accessible pair of premium AR glasses yet”. Despite its entry-level price of $449, the Xreal 1S is fitted with plenty of premium technologies including Sound by Bose, Full HD resolution and up to 700 nits brightness, all inside a lightweight (82g) frame.

Powering the Xreal 1S glasses is the Xreal X1 spatial computing chip which offers you access to native 3DoF tracking, anchored screens and ultrawide virtual displays. Plus the 1S supports the Xreal Eye camera add-on for 6Dof spatial anchoring, POC capture and more.

Narwal Flow 2

Considering the Narwal Flow achieved a 4.5-star rating from us, the Narwal Flow 2 always had a lot to live up to. Fortunately, Narwhal claims the Flow 2 is its “most advanced robotic mop ever”, thanks to AI vision that “catches the unseen” and its real-time self-cleaning ability too.

If your home features hard floors, then the Narwal Flow 2 appears to be a brilliant appliance.

GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro

While there are appliances available that promise to make nugget ice at home, they’re usually slow and incredibly noisy. That’s where the GoveeLife Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro comes in.

Equipped with a 96W compressor and DC motor, the Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro can produce ice in as little as six minutes and delivers up to 60 pounds of ice per day. Not only that, but thanks to its stainless steel evaporator, nugget ice is denser, rounder and sports a better texture than its competitors. 

GoveeLife has also introduced its patented AI NoiseGuard technology which promises to “virtually eliminate” the noise that’s become synonymous with nugget ice makers.

Fortunately you won’t have to wait long for the Smart Nugget Ice Maker Pro, as it’s set to launch on January 15th at $499.99

SwitchBot AI Mind Clip

Not convinced by the Plaud AI NotePin S? SwitchBot has introduced its own AI-powered note taker that’s designed to record, transcribe and even translate conversations and meetings without you needing to lift a finger.

Hailed as a “second brain”, the AI Mind Clip is designed to continuously capture everyday moments and transform them into structured summaries, actionable to-dos and even a searchable personal knowledge base.

However, SwitchBot has said that this will be fueled by a cloud AI service subscription and, at the time of writing, is yet to reveal any further details on this.

GlocalMe RoamPlug

If you’re heading off on holiday soon, then you’d be hard-pressed to find a more convenient travel adapter than the Glocal RoamPlug. Not only is it a universal adapter that covers over 150 countries, but it doubles up as a Wi-Fi hotspot too. 

Thanks to Cloud SIM technology, you won’t even need a local physical SIM as the device can authenticate and select the strongest mobile networks available. Available now at around £70, if you’re a digital nomad or a frequent traveller who’s always looking for ways to streamline your suitcase, then the RoamPlug is one for you.

UGREEN NASync iDX Series

UGreen revealed two additions to its NASync line-up with two new network-attached storage systems: iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro. Both promise to deliver “lightning-fast data transfers, intelligent file management and enterprise-grade security” and work as an alternative to relying on the cloud. 

While both are powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and support up to 64GB memory and up to 196TB of scalable storage, the iDX6011 Pro benefits from expanded computer capabilities and pro-grade GPU acceleration via an OCuLink port. The OCuLink port, UGreen explains, enables “high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity for external GPUs”.

Pre-orders are available now, ahead of the Kickstarter campaign which will launch in March 2026. 

Laifen Wave Pro Electric Toothbrush

Lifestyle brand Laifen has revealed the “world’s first oscillation and vibration technology toothbrush” that promises a dentist-level clean in the comfort of your own home. With up to 66,000 vibrations per minute and 60-degree oscillation motions, you’ll benefit from a deep clean that’s still gentle on gums too. 

You can choose between different intensity-levels and cleaning modes, including Daily and Deep Clean settings, while the Smart Pressure Sensor will alert you if you’re brushing too hard.

Unlike other electric toothbrushes, the Wave Pro boasts up to a whopping 70 days of battery life, making it perfect for taking trips. Plus, with the accompanying Laifen app, you’ll receive a personalised brushing report which offers smart guidance and personalised advice to keep your whole mouth healthy.

Satechi Thunderbolt 5 CubeDock

Okay, we’ll admit it looks remarkably similar to the Mac Studio, but the Satechi Thunderbolt 5 Cube Dock is actually a seriously powerful hub that’s designed for those who want a clutter-free way to stay connected. 

The CubeDock is designed to do everything from keep your laptop charged, power multi-displays in up to 8K and expand storage too, all through a Thunderbolt 5 connection. It’s currently available to pre-order at $399.99, with shipping expected by the end of March.

HP ZBook Fury G1i

As its name suggests, the HP ZBook Fury G1i is a laptop for those who demand uninterrupted and impressive power. Running on Intel Core Ultra 9, up to Nvidia RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell GPU and a three-fan thermal design, the Fury G1i promises to accelerate everything from AI tasks to complex workloads with ease. 

This means you can run the likes of 3D modelling, VFX and language models without fear of interruption or lag.

Despite its sheer power, the ZBook Fury is portable and housed in an upgradable chassis too.

TCL X11L Series SQD-Mini LED

After a decade of research, TCL has unveiled its most advanced Mini LED technology to date with the X11L Series SQD-Mini LED. 

Promising richer colours, stronger contrast control and, with TCL’s Deep Colour System, improved colour filtration, the SQD Mini-LED series is undoubtedly an exciting line-up. However, with a starting price of an eye-watering $6999.99, it’s certainly marketed at those seeking a high-end home theatre set-up.

LG OLED evo W6

LG has revived the Wallpaper TV with the OLED evo W6. At just 9mm thick and equipped with seriously impressive screen technologies, the OLED evo W6 is designed to pair a sleek yet minimalist aesthetic with stunning picture quality.

Hailed by LG as being its “best innovation”, the OLED evo W6 is the first of its kind to feature both Reflection Free Premium certification and Hyper Radiant Color Technology which boosts brightness, colour accuracy and contrast.

Behind the OLED evo W6 is LG’s AI Processor which is designed to balance clarity and texture more carefully than before. Not only that, but the W6 benefits from LG’s latest gaming features too, supporting 4K streaming at up to 165Hz.

Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Ultra

Headlined by the Galaxy Book 6 Ultra, Samsung’s new Galaxy Book 6 series promises to mark a “new era in PC innovation”. Alongside the Book 6 series, the Ultra is the first to sport Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, so you can expect better power efficiency, faster performance and AI prowess too. 

Not only that, but the 16-inch Ultra boasts up to 30 hours of battery life, a stunning Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and Galaxy AI tools. 

Samsung 130-inch Micro RGB TV (R95H model) 

Not only does the Samsung Micro RGB (R95H) cover 100% of BT.2020 colour gamut area for the “most true-to-life UHD color ever in a consumer TV” but it does so with an enormous 130-inch display. 

In fact, its combination of innovations make it the world’s first TV to earn an IMAX large-screen certification. Sure, a 130-inch display might not suit most households, but it certainly marks a new standard for premium home entertainment set-ups.

Dangbei S8 Max Ultra

Although currently just a concept and not yet confirmed for commercial release, the Dangbei S8 Max Ultra is an exciting prospect.

Said to deliver 6,200 ISO lumens, support Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and feature lens shift technology to simplify setup, the S8 Max Ultra could really shake up the projector industry. 

Roborock Saros 20

The Roborock Saros 20 promises to alleviate the typical pain points that come with even the best robot vacuums and mops. Not only does it sport an ultra-thin design that’s under 8cm to slide seamlessly under low-lying spaces, but its AdaptiLift Chassis means it can climb up to 4.5 + 4cm-high thresholds with ease.

That means the Saros 20 can travel freely throughout various rooms, without you needing to worry about it getting stuck.

Otherwise, the Saros 20 is fitted with AI obstacle detection, floor detection and auto-lift when the mop is attached to prevent carpets from getting wet and a powerful 35000Pa suction too.

Wybot C3

The Wynot C3 is one of the standout pool cleaners we’ve spotted on the show floor at CES 2026 – and there are a lot of them filling the halls.

This particular model features a dual brushless pump design, can deliver suction power up to 140w, and there are 18 advanced sensors inside – including Lidar. These ensure that the C3 can accurately map the floor of a pool, even its contours, ensuring an efficient and accurate clean.

DDPAI Z90 Master

This is a flagship 3-channel dash cam with impressive 4K front and rear recording. It uses dual Sony STARVIS 2 sensors, Triple HDR, and AI portrait optimisation for improved clarity in various situations. The result? A dash cam that can give the driver a full view of everything happening both inside and outside of the car.

Elsewhere, there’s 4G connectivity for remote live view and alerts, and 128GB storage. The system also offers 24/7 parking monitoring with radar, quick wake-up and smart voice control.

AWOL Aetherion Max

The halls of CES are filled with projectors of all shapes and sizes. This ultra-short-throw model is a standout, able to produce 4K images up to 200 inches with an impressive 1ms latency.

The Max can deliver 2600 ISO lumens, has 6,000:1 native contrast, VRR and ALLM. You’ll also find AWOL’s PixelLock tech onboard, which helps eliminate pixel shift and colour separation to give the image improved sharpness.

Better Mobile Xperience (BMX) SolidSafe Air

On first glance, this might look like any number of MagSafe-style magnetic battery packs on the market, however the tech inside is quite different.

While traditional lithium batteries used in the vast majority of portable battery packs rely on fully liquid electrolytes, which can increase the risk of swelling, semi solid-state chemistry – like the type used here – “dramatically reduces liquid content and adds more stable solid-phase materials.” The result is a slick battery pack, available in a few sizes, which has the potential to be much in certain instances.

Botslab Window Camera W101

This clever device, designed to stick on windows, can record video from two directions – giving you a simultaneous view of both the inside and outside. There are two 4MP cameras, 10x zoom and real-time human detection.

We particularly like the privacy cap, which can cover up the interior sensor. It’s cheap (likely around $49) and doesn’t require any monthly subscriptions.
