CES 2026 promised the latest and greatest tech, and boy, did it deliver. From stunning TVs to swanky laptops, smart scales, contorting screens, and more, this year’s innovations will leave plenty to look forward to as the year progresses.
Our dedicated – and jetlagged – team has been everywhere – from the cavernous main Vegas halls to secretive demo rooms – seeking out the very best products from the show. With that in mind, said, let’s dive into the tech that’s set to define this year. These are our CES Awards 2026…

LG W6
LG’s Wallpaper TV is back, and it remains one of the most striking pieces of consumer tech at the show. The W6 is astonishingly thin – closer to wall art than a conventional television – while still delivering the rich contrast and deep blacks you expect from LG’s best OLED panels.
What really sells it though, is how clean the setup looks in the real world. The screen itself needs only a single power cable, with all inputs handled by a separate One Connect box that links wirelessly from up to 10 metres away, making it a minimalist’s dream.
LG is also pushing higher brightness, improved colour performance, and a reflection-free screen finish, making the W6 feel every bit a design statement, as a desirable living-room TV.

Moto Razr Fold
Motorola has finally expanded the Razr line into full book-style foldable territory, and it’s done so without losing the personality that made its flip phones so popular. The Moto Razr Fold opens into a glorious 8.09-inch 2K display with a refresh rate that scales between 1Hz and 120Hz for maximum efficiency.
Folded shut, there’s a 6.56-inch external display for regular phone shenanigans. Around the back are three 50MP cameras – a main lens, an ultrawide with macro duties, and a 3x periscope telephoto – alongside Dolby Vision video recording. Support for Motorola’s Moto Pen Ultra stylus and a reworked interface built for multitasking make it clear this is aimed squarely at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold crowd.
Pricing and availability are still to be confirmed, though if the rumours are true, it could undercut its Samsung rival. Watch this space.

Lego Smart Play
LEGO’s Smart Play system is a rare example of tech enhancing physical play rather than replacing it entirely. At the heart of the system is a new Smart Brick – a familiar 2×4 shape fitted with lights, sensors, an accelerometer, a speaker, and the ability to recognise Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures.
The result is LEGO piece that reacts to how it’s built and played with. A Smart Tag helps identify what kind of object you’ve created, while placing a Smart Minifigure on top triggers character-specific sounds, moods, and reactions.
LEGO says the Smart Brick is compatible with every LEGO set ever, and crucially, the whole system works without apps or screens. The first Smart Play sets are Star Wars themed (!) and go on sale from March 1.

Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept
Lenovo brought no shortage of concepts to CES 2026, but the Legion Pro Rollable was easily the most compelling. It starts as a fairly conventional Legion Pro 7i gaming laptop, before revealing a flexible OLED display that expands sideways at the touch of a button.
The screen begins at 16 inches, then rolls out to either 21.5 inches or 23.8 inches, switching aspect ratios from 16:10 to 21:9 or even 24:9. That makes it especially appealing for racing games, flight sims, and sprawling open-world titles that benefit from ultra-wide views.
The prototype isn’t perfect, mind – the expanded display shows some waviness and the lid doesn’t feel as solid as a finished product – but as a showcase of what rollable displays could bring to gaming laptops, it’s one of the most exciting concepts at the show.

LG Sound Suite powered by Dolby Atmos FlexConnect
LG’s Sound Suite tackles one of home cinema’s biggest frustrations – faffing around with speaker placement and bundles of wires until you give up entirely. The modular system is built around the H7 soundbar, M5 and M7 surround speakers, and a wireless subwoofer, with support for Dolby Atmos FlexConnect.
FlexConnect automatically optimises audio performance based on where speakers are placed in the room, rather than demanding precise positioning, and Wi-Fi delivery for Dolby Atmos channels keeps cable clutter to a minimum.
LG and Dolby say the system can be configured in 27 different ways, scaling from simple stereo setups to full 13.1.7-channel home cinema systems. At CES 2026, LG confirmed US pricing and near-term availability, with UK pricing still to follow.

Pebble Round 2
In a rather refreshing development, the Pebble Round 2 is a smartwatch that deliberately avoids doing too much. It sticks with an always-on e-paper display, physical buttons, and a watch-first design that feels wonderfully restrained.
The new model is just 8.1mm thick, and uses a 1.3-inch display that fills the face, while battery life has jumped to a claimed two whopping weeks.
You still get basic step and sleep tracking, plus dual microphones for AI assistant chats and message replies – though those features are currently limited to Android users. Pre-orders are open now at $199 or £160, with shipping expected to begin in May.

Withings Body Scan 2
Withings has turned the simple act of weighing yourself into a full-blown health assessment. The Body Scan 2 measures over 60 biomarkers during a 90-second session, including metrics linked to cardiovascular health, metabolism, and body composition.
It uses a combination of impedance cardiography, ECG, pulse wave velocity, and bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy to build a broader picture of your health, then presents it through a Health Trajectory score that focuses on trends, rather than purely isolated numbers.
A premium glass design, retractable handle with a colour display, up to 15 months of battery life, and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth syncing round out the package. Pricing is set at $600, £450, or €500, with launch expected in spring.

Dell XPS 14
Dell’s decision to bring XPS back after last year’s widely criticised rebrand is one of the quiet triumphs of CES 2026. The new XPS 14 feels like a conscious reset – slimmer, lighter, and far more in tune with what people actually want from a premium ultraportable.
At just 14.6mm thick and weighing 3lbs, it’s noticeably more compact than its predecessor, even taking up less desk space than a 13-inch MacBook Air. Dell has paired that trim footprint with a CNC-milled aluminium chassis, Gorilla Glass-protected display, and a redesigned glass touchpad that finally has visible boundaries.
The controversial touchbar is gone in favour of a proper physical function row (huzzah!), while buyers can choose between a Tandem OLED touchscreen or a 2K LCD panel with a 1–120Hz variable refresh rate. New battery tech promises up to 20 hours of Netflix streaming or as much as 40 hours of local video playback.

Samsung 130-inch Micro RGB
Samsung’s 130-inch Micro RGB TV is impossible to ignore. Shown off just ahead of CES, it’s designed to look less like a conventional television and more like a giant window mounted on your wall.
The Micro RGB technology delivers bold colour and texture, while the design makes the screen appear to float within its frame, with audio integrated directly into the display.
Samsung also demonstrated a more accessible Micro RGB model alongside it, but stopped short of committing fully to the technology just yet. It’s wildly impractical for most homes – but as a showcase of what Samsung can do, it’s hugely impressive. And yes, we want one.

Asus Zephyrus Duo
Asus has been refining its dual-screen laptop idea for years, and the latest Zephyrus Duo feels like the most confident execution yet. Instead of shrinking the secondary display, this model uses two full 16-inch OLED panels, paired with a detachable magnetic keyboard.
Both screens are 3K, 120Hz, and DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certified, giving a combined diagonal screen size of 21 inches. Multiple modes let it work as a traditional laptop, a portrait-style book, or a tented setup for shared gaming.
Inside, Asus is packing serious hardware – up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processors, Nvidia RTX 5090 Laptop GPUs, 64GB of memory, and 2TB of storage – backed by a redesigned cooling system built to handle the heat.
