It was a grueling week in Las Vegas covering CES 2026. As usual, there were tons of exciting products across every area of the industry, from TVs to mobile accessories, audio, and more. After scouring the show floor in the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Venetian Convention Center, attending several media-exclusive events at various hotels, and visiting many off-site locations, here are the coolest products from the show. Some of the these are products I learned about before the show and finally got to see in person.
1. Shokz OpenFit Pro Open-Ear Earbuds
It’s tough to make bone conduction or, in the case of Shokz, air conduction, earbuds that sound good. But Shokz has managed to accomplish that with the Shokz OpenFit Pro. At least based on my limited time listening to them on the show floor. They feature open-ear noise reduction that somehow manages to cancel loud noises even without covering your ears. This is thanks to a triple microphone array, new speaker design, and a new ear adaptive algorithm. When it comes to audio quality, SuperBoost technology ensures a pleasant listening experience. They even have optimization for Dolby Atmos with Head Tracking as well.
2. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable Concept Gaming Laptop
It’s a marvel how it’s accomplished, but Lenovo showcased a gaming laptop with an expandable screen. The 16-inch laptop has a rollable PureSight OLED Gaming display that goes from 16 inches to 21.5 inches and up to 24 inches as either side expands like magic. It’s powered by a dual-motor, tension-based system. This display was one of the coolest products at the show, representing the future of monitors and laptop technology.
3. LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV
Everyone was clamouring to see the new Wallpaper TV from LG, a reborn version of its original model from 2017. It boasts Hyper Radiant Color Technology, measures just 9mm thin, has an improved wall mount, and LG’s True Wireless technology through the Zero Connect Box that can be placed up to 10 metres away. How does it look? In one word, stunning.
It’s a gorgeous TV whether it’s on or off. But it’s also a powerful one, too, with 165Hz refresh rate and other upgrades gamers, action movie, and sports fans will love, the popular webOS platform, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, and more.
4. Samsung Galaxy TriFold Phone
The Samsung Galaxy TriFold Phone launched just before CES 2026, but for many people like me, Las Vegas was our first chance to see it in person. It’s impressive, with a design that unfolds on either side to reveal a massive 10-inch, tablet-like display.
Even when folded, it’s still rather slim, not much bigger than a typical bar phone. Unfolded, it’s 3.9mm at its thinnest point. I spent some time playing around with it and it’s easy to use, though strange to switch from the phone to the tablet experience in one go.
I love that you get a warning on screen if you try to fold it the wrong way. The hinge moves smoothly, and the creases don’t impede your view or use at all. When folded, you get a 6.5-inch screen. It has all the usual Samsung and Android goodies, making this is a smart and versatile 2-in-1 device.
5. Renpho Active Mini Thermacool Massage Gun
As someone who works out daily (minus a break during the busy holiday season!), a massage gun is one of those items on my wish list. This model has dual temperatures so you get both heat or cooling. It offers customizable percussion massage and it’s small enough to pack with you to take to the gym or even while traveling. You get precise control for muscle relief, and it’s small enough to use on all the targeted areas. Renpho products are distributed in Canada by Erikson Consumer.
6. Komutr MagSafe True Wireles Earbuds
Shown at last year’s CES and officially starting to ship in October 2025, the Komutr MagSafe earbuds are now more widely available. It’s a clever design that consists of true wireless earbuds housed in a 12mm thin MagSafe compatible case you can clip to the back of your MagSafe or Qi2-enabled phone or phone case. It’s just for storage: sadly, it doesn’t charge your phone. (A built-in power bank would have been icing on the cake!) But it’s great for those who are often fishing in their bags for their earbuds or worse, lose them. You get up to seven hours playback per charge and six additional charges from the 600mAh case. They meet an IP54 rating against splashes of water and dust.
They come with three silicone eartips but do not ship with a USB-C cable, though you probably have plenty of extras lying around. For added peace-of-mind, they work with Apple Find My as well. I didn’t get to listen to them, but if these sound decent, they’re a convenient option.
7. Hisense 116UXS RGB TV
The new Hisense 116UXS RGB TV is powered by the company’s Hi-View AI engine RGB that focuses on rendering colours beautifully with vibrancy and brightness. It’s Hisense’s first product powered by RGB Mini-LED evo. As a Google TV, you get a solid smart TV experience as well. It’s a native 165Hz panel with IMAX Enhanced and a Devialet audio system built in.
8. TCL AiMe Modular AI Companion Robot
TCL AiMe is just a concept right now, but it’s a downright adorable AI companion robot that interacts with you and even has a built-in camera. You can have it “AI me” (get it) by snapping a photo and turning you into an AI avatar. I tried it and it’s so cute.
I love how it picked up the guy behind me on his phone who somehow got in range of the photo. It’s designed to help you through tasks throughout the day, but we’ll have to wait to find out more.
9. Anker Nano Docking Station 13-in-1
The feature I love most about this docking station is that while it’s big and heavy for desktop use, there’s a 6-in-1 removable hub built into it. Pull it out and take just that with you when you need it. Neat!
It has five USB data ports, three media display ports, Ethernet, audio, SD and TF card slots, and more, making it the ultimate desktop companion.
10. Asus ROG Kithara Gaming Headset
I love that the Asus ROG Kithara gaming headset focuses as much on sound quality as it does on the gaming experience. Developed with Hifiman, it’s an audiophile-grade planar magnetic headset for competitive gamers that offers fantastic sound quality along with features gamers appreciate, like a full-band MEMs boom mic for clear voice capture and comfortable design for long wear. It’s a wired headset designed for PC gaming that stands out among the pack.
11. Victrola Soundstage Turntable Speaker
The flat, rectangular Victrola Soundstage speaker is designed to be placed underneath a turntable or record player and serve as its external speaker without taking up more room. It’s designed to isolate vibration and deliver low-end performance and wide stereo imaging. A fully integrated system, it boasts the cabinet architecture, driver placement, and vibration control tuned to work together and help present resonance. It can connect both wired via 3.5mm AUX, RCA, and USB-C and wirelessly via Bluetooth and Auracast. Of course, you can use it with other gear as well, like computers and TVs, if you so desire.
The Walnut finish is stunning and based on my short demo in a private suite during CES, it sounds great. (Sadly, the audio part of the video had to be removed due to copyright restrictions but find it on Instagram @christineTechCA). It’s an interesting design as an alternative to the traditional Bluetooth speaker, even if you don’t have a turntable. But it’s best paired with one.
12. TCL X11L Series SQD Mini LED TV
The TCL X11L Series SQD miniLED TV looks absolutely stunning thanks to the Deep Color System with Super Quantum Dots, CSOT UltraColor Filter, and enhanced Halo Control System with discrete dimming zones and high peak brightness.
As a smart TV with Gemini for Google TV and built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers, the ultra-thin TV doesn’t come cheap, starting at US$7,000 for the 75-inch model. But if you’re looking for a new showstopper for the living room, this one won’t disappoint.
13. Luna Band
Having reviewed the original Luna smart ring and currently reviewing the Luna Ring 2.0, I was intrigued to learn of the new Luna Band. The wearable goes around your wrist and provides real-time, voice-led health guidance, but it doesn’t have a screen. Like the brand’s smart rings, it’s powered by LifeOS, Luna’s adaptive AI engine. The fully hands-free, voice-led interactions are powered by Siri integrations. A demo I received at the show for some of these features, which should be arriving via software update in the next few weeks, was impressive. Simply tell Siri that you just had coffee, for example, and it will ask how much and at what time then add it to your timeline in the Luna app. You might want to advise that you just took your medication or even log your meals. It’s an interesting alternative to the traditional smartwatch and an alternative to the smart ring for a distraction-free and fashionable experience.
14. LG Sound Suite H7 Soundbar
This clever soundbar is powered by Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, making upgrading and expanding your audio system easy. Add the M7 and/or M5 surround speakers, W7 subwoofer, and more to create a setup from up to 27 different configurations, all the way up to a 13.1.7-channel home theatre. The speakers boast both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and you can customize and make adjustments in the companion app, so it’s really easy to calibrate sound in your space. While it pairs best with LG TVs, if you use the H7 soundbar, you can set up the system with any TV via HDMI.
15. Scosche PowerVolt 70 Reel
I love not only that the Scosche PowerVolt 70 Reel can charge up to three devices at once, but also that it has an integrated 1.5-foot retractable cable. Chargers with cables built-in are great: it’s so logical. But a retractable one? Now, that’s genius! It offers high-output charging with the built-in USB-C cable along with an additional USB-C and USB-A port. This is a great accessory for travel or those high-traffic areas in the home where everyone seems to want to charge their devices.
16. Belkin UltraCharge Pro Laptop Power Bank
Having more power on the go for remote workers is a huge deal. Even with the latest laptops boasting compact designs and all-day battery, you still might find that you’re running low before the day is over, especially as the computer ages. The Belkin UltraCharge Pro laptop power bank boasts a 27,000mAh battery and up to 240W total power, so it can charge everything from a MacBook Pro to the Nintendo Switch 2. Use it to charge other devices as well, like a smartphone, wireless headphones, tablet, and more, with the ability to charge up to three devices at a time. It even comes with a built-in 140W braided USB-C cable that streamlines charging without extra cords, and a smart display shows battery percentage. You also get 100W pass-through charging.
17. Hisense X-Zone Master Modular Washer Dryer System
The Hisense X-Zone Master is a clever, scalable modular washer dryer system. The main unit uses heat pump drying but you can expand the system with mini models that use fresh air condensation. The idea is that you can use different drums for different small loads, like delicates, baby clothes, a pet bed cover, and so on. Get more loads done simultaneously, though keep in mind that condensation drying inevitably takes longer. The more units you have, the more space you’ll need, of course. But a representative tells me that multiple mini ones use about the same energy and electricity as two standalone larger units. So, the concept might appeal to those who live in shared housing, for example, or have multiple smaller loads to do more often.
18. HP EliteBoard G1a Next-Gen AI PC
This might look like your ordinary computer keyboard, but it’s not. There’s actually a full PC built into the HP EliteBoard G1a that you can take with you, connect to virtually any monitor, and get to work. The powerful computer boasts dual mics and speakers, along with HP Wolf Security. You get Windows 11 Home or 11 Pro, an AMD Ryzen AI 7 or AI 5 processor, up to 64GB RAM, and up to 50 TOPS local AI performance.
Bottom line: this isn’t a computer with performance compromises, despite the fact that most people won’t even know it is a computer. The G1a is powered by an external power adapter or optional built-in battery. While we thought putting computers into phones was mind-blowing, full computers in keyboards are on a whole other level.
19. myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock
The myQ Secure View 3-in-1 smart lock has a built-in camera and doorbell so you get all three functions in one handy, door-mounted device. The integrated camera doesn’t just show you footage of who is at the door, it also allows for quick two-second unlocking through facial recognition. You can also unlock it through fingerprint recognition, PIN, mobile app, or for those who prefer the old-school way, physical key. AI software can identify people, vehicles, animals, packages, and motion with intelligent alerts. It captures 2K HDR video and can connect with other myQ devices, like garage door controllers. It can perform in extreme temperatures from -4°F to 140°F with a rechargeable lithium battery lasting up to six months per charge. I love that you can unlock the door so many different ways, and that it can auto-unlock when it recognizes you with hands full of groceries. It’s also convenient that it combines all three devices in one for a clean look.
I chatted with Jonathan Scott of The Property Brothers about the lock at an exclusive myQ event and he highlighted features like the fact that the lock will auto-lock if it doesn’t recognize your face. “It makes life safer,” he says.
20. ROG XREAL R1 Smart Glasses
There were lots of smart glasses on the show floor, but the ROG XREAL R1 are designed specifically for gamers, and for pairing with the ROG Ally X though they also work with PCs, consoles, and other gaming devices. They feel a bit odd when you put them on, especially if you have a smaller head. But the gaming experience is fun and engaging.
You get a 171-inch virtual display to enjoy as you navigate with a controller. The microOLED displays boast 240Hz refresh and provide a 57° field-of-view.
21. Govee Floor Lamp 3
Govee always showcases innovative lighting products, and one such product this year is the floor lamp, a stylish lamp that doesn’t take up a ton of space but can literally light up a room. It comes with a 16-bit RGBIC chip and new LuminBlend+ technology for reproduces more than 281 trillion colours. Set the mood just right, set these up all over a large room, and visitors will “ooh” and “ahh.”
22. Samsung Freestyle+ Portable Projector
The Samsung Freestyle+ portable projector adds new features, including twice the brightness. But the showstopping feature is AI OptiScreen technology that can do things like correct distortion when projecting onto a non-flat surface, like curtains and corners or angled walls. You get real-time focus that adjusts as the projector moves and a 180° design so you can project virtually anywhere, no matter where it’s placed.
It comes with built-in smart OS with access to services like Samsung TV Plus and Samsung Gaming Hub as well as all your favourite streaming services. It needs to be plugged in, but you can always get an optional battery pack to bring it on the road.
23. Clicks Power Keyboard
I’m still on the fence about the Clicks Communicator, an Android phone designed to reduce distractions and be used as a secondary phone (or primary one for those who really want to focus on reducing their screen time). But the Clicks Power Keyboard caught my interest more. Rather than a keyboard case like the original Clicks that forces you to keep the keyboard on all the time unless you swap cases, this is a compact keyboard you can click onto your smartphone when you need it and remove it easily when you don’t. Yes, even when a case is on it.
What I love about it is that it works with other devices, too, like tablets and even smart TVs. I’d use it to enter things like passwords on TV screener accounts or run searches more quickly. It connects to a phone using MagSafe or Qi2, supports shortcuts, and can be used with your phone in both portrait or landscape mode.
The best part? It doubles as a power bank. It’s just a small 2,150mAh battery, so it isn’t going to give your device a full charge. But it can top you up when you’re in the red.
24. Nosh AI Robo Chef
The Nosh AI Robo Chef is one of those small appliances that you can’t help but wonder “do we really need that?” Well, no. But it’s darned cool. And for busy families or professionals, it might be worth it. It’s an all-in-one appliance with racks into which you can add ingredients for a recipe. The integrated screen provides 500+ recipe options. Two containers underneath the racks are for storing water and oil while a spice rack at the top holds salt, pepper, and other essential spices. Once you choose the recipe from more than 500 dishes and add the ingredients, simply press a button and the machine will get to work. Ingredients are added to the included pot in the amounts and order necessary, and the proper time using vision AI technology. It cooks using the induction surface.
The machine is in the Kickstarter phase right now, but it brings new meaning to the concept of effortless cooking.
25. Emerson Voice-Controlled Air Fryer
Want a connected smart appliance but don’t want a device connected to Wi-Fi for privacy reasons? It sounds like an impossible feat. But Emerson’s new line of voice-controlled appliances, which include not only air fryers but also heaters, fans, smart plugs, and more, work completely off the grid. Wait, what? How? They have SmartVoice technology built in that can recognize and act on various commands, like “Hey air fryer, reheat lasagna” or “hey air fryer, preheat to 400°F.” This air fryer and other Emerson SmartVoice compatible appliances are perfect for those who don’t want to connect everything to Wi-Fi for whatever personal reason but still want to enjoy the benefits of smart tech.
26. Dreame AI Smart Ring
I’m a sucker for a good smart ring, having reviewed many of them over the last few years. Dreame had massive booths at both convention centres and participated in many media showcases, demonstrating its latest robot and other vacuum and home care innovations. But it’s the smart ring that caught my eye. A first for the company, this one differentiates from others by offering haptic feedback for notifications and relevant alerts. That might be to remind you to take a pill, feed the dog, of an incoming message, or even as a wake-up alarm. It has features like remote health tracking so emergency alerts can be sent to family members. There’s even a tiny hidden button you can use to trigger your phone’s camera. I can’t wait to review this one.
27. LG CLOiD Robot
The North Hall of the convention centre was filled with robots of all kinds doing all types of tasks. But LG’s CLOiD is an option from one of the biggest brands in tech, an expansion of its existing CLOi line. This one can help you perform chores in the home, like put items away in the refrigerator, place items in the oven, even fold your laundry. With articulating arms, a head, and torso, it moves around on a wheeled base. We might me far from being like The Jetsons, but in the next decade or two, robots like CLOiD might be found in every home.
28. Samsung Bespoke AI Refrigerator
Samsung has been integrating technology into its refrigerators for years, but the latest AI refrigerator upgrades are pretty mind-blowing. Now, it can recognize your voice so you can ask it to open the doors when you’re holding a large sheet cake or your hands are dirty with meatball mix. It comes with an AI Vision camera that takes photos not only when you add items but also when you remove them to keep track of inventory and let you know when you’re running low on items.
You can use the app to view the interior doors right from the grocery store in case you forgot if you were out of milk or salad dressing. Use the large front screen, meanwhile, as a guide to your calendar, weather, favourite items, and more.
29. Withings Body Scan 2 Smart Scale
It seems like a Withings product makes my list of the best ones each year, and the Body Scan 2 is no exception. An improved version of the Body Scan, similar to the Body Segment I reviewed last year, it can now track more health biomarkers, monitor your heart pumping efficiency, and assess metabolic metrics. It can even track glycemic dysregulation, which can help you predict prediabetes and prompt a visit to the doctor and positive health changes if you notice anything amiss.
The simple improvement I love is that there’s now a screen at the top of the retractable handle so you can more easily see the data and notifications.
30. Rolling Square InCharge Life Cables
Rolling Square always has gadgets at CES that make me think “that makes so much sense!” and this year, one of the latest is the InCharge Life cables. The modular system with adapters you can use to connect multiple cables together to get the exact length you need.
They are ultra-durable with a lifetime guarantee and afford 240W fast charging and 10Gbps data transfer. In total, you get six cables and an extender to connect them as you need. In a hotel where the outlet is on the floor at the end of the bed, for example? Use the extra-long one. Putting it on the bedside table or using it with a portable power bank? Remove the extender and just use the small cable.
31. Anker Nano Power Strip
I love gadgets with clever designs and this one takes the cake. It’s a 10-in-1 power strip mounted on a clamp so you can affix it to the side of your desk for a neat and tidy way to plug in. (Tip: get two for either side!) It has six AC outlets in total, with two at the top and four more on the underside, along with a pair each of USB-C and USB-A outlets. Oe of the USB-C outlets is a 70W max one, so it can fast-charge your phones, tablets, and more. It fits on any desk that’s 15 up to 50mm in thickness and has soft silicone pads to prevent damage. There’s also built-in surge protection.
32. Roborock Saros Rover
There are other robot vacuums or robot vacuum systems that can scale stairs. But the Roborock Saros Rover can actually clean them as it ascends and descends. It’s fascinating to watch, which is why the booth was always packed with show-goers capturing videos and marveling as it worked. The Saros Rover has two wheels that can not only lift the unit to navigate stairs, it can also jump over items. It uses AI, motion sensors, and 3D spatial information to navigate seamlessly across floors and apparently levels of the home.
Roborock plans to bring it to market in the future, and we can’t wait.
33. Loewe OLED TVs
Have thousands burning a hole in your pocket? A long time ago, I had a 38-inch Loewe tube TV. It looked fabulous but weighed a ton. The company has come a long way, and while Loewe has always been popular in Europe, Loewe is now officially entering the North American market. Yes, this includes Canada, too. I got to sit down in a private suite to learn about the company, it’s direction and philosophy, and demo the TV (as well as the complementary leo headphones) and it’s brilliantly beautiful. Available in sizes from 42 inches up to 97 inches and with pricing from US$6,000 up to US$45,000 (Canadian pricing TBA), the ultra-slim 4K OLEDs are made entirely with in-house German parts, excluding LG glass.
Outfitted with a brushed aluminum frame and gorgeous concrete back panel for the 42-, 55-, and 65-inch models, you get fantastic built-in sound as well, along with cool ambient lighting at the bottom. This luxury TV is also a smart TV with a built-in VIDAA OS, with some Loewe flavour added for good measure.
34. Loewe bespoke Limited-Edition Headphones
Who doesn’t love some sparkle? Along with the leo headphones, Loewe is also showcasing a limited-edition bespoke headphones line designed in partnership with Jacob & Co. With just 10 models being handcrafted, they come in Noir Rainbow with 15.97 carats of multicolour sapphires or Ice Diamond with 12.47 carats of white diamonds. I didn’t get to try these, just salivate over them on a table in front of me. They are a sight to behold, the ultimate “bling.” But beware: they come with a price tag to match at US$115,000 and US$135,000, respectively.
35. Moft Dynamic Folio Case for iPad
Moft makes some of the most stylish mobile accessories around, and the latest is the Dynamic Folio case, a multi-angled iPad stand that both protects the tablet and orients it in the best possible way depending on your task.
Employing an origami-inspired design like the company’s other products, you can position it in nine adjustable viewing angles for tasks like writing, drawing, reading, watching videos, presenting, and more. There’s even a dual-screen mode for holding your phone along with the tablet. It’s made from Movas-P vegan leather and has a soft touch exterior with a lining to reduce friction along with edge and corner protection. When traveling, it folds flat for easily slotting into a backpack or briefcase.
It is compatible with the latest model iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini models and will come in Misty Cove or Jet Black.
36. SVS 3000 R|Evolution Series Subwoofers
Building on flagship SVS 17-Ultra R|Evolution Series technologies, the 3000 R|Evolution introduces advancements across driver design, MOSFET amplification, user control, power management, and advanced DSP. The series launches with two models: The SB-3000 R|Evolution, a sealed cabinet subwoofer delivering infrasonic extension down to 17 Hz (+/-3dB) and the PB-3000 R|Evolution, a ported cabinet subwoofer engineered to pressurize rooms of any size with cinematic authority, extending to 16 Hz (+/-3dB) with multiple port tuning modes. Highlights of the 3000 R|Evolution series include high-excursion 13-inch SVS Driver to deliver deep and authoritative low end with accuracy and detail. Flat-Edge Wound Split-Wind Voice Coil maximizes magnetic force at high excursion to drive output and responsiveness. You get a 1,200W continuous, 4,000+ watts peak Class-D amplifier with discrete MOSFET output stage to generate immense current while maintaining precise control and pristine signal integrity. Both new subs can be controlled with the SVS Subwoofer Control app while Auto Room EQ applies precision EQ filters tailored to your unique environment to optimize in-room response.SVS products are available in Canada through Evolution Home Corp.
37. Lego Smart Play
Lego is as low-tech as toys go, through there are many sets inspired by movies, TV shows, comic book characters, and other pop culture figures. There are also integrated lights you can buy to make creations come to life. But now, Lego is diving into the realm of tech with new Lego Smart Play, powered by the Lego Smart Brick. Smart Play is a new interactive platform that works alongside the Lego Smart Brick as well as Lego Smart Tags and Lego Smart Minifigures to react in real time for more interactive play. Inside the brick is a custom-made chip that enables responsive play through sensors, accelerometers, light sensing, and a sound sensor. It also has a mini speaker driven by an on-board synthesizer. The tags and minifigures, meanwhile, power the system to respond to action with the right sounds and behaviours.
The first sets will launch with Lego Star Wars Galaxy Now, coming in March 2026. One of the first will be Lego Star Wars Smart Play: Luke’s Red Five X-Wing building set, a 584-piece set, including two Smart minifigures (Luke Skywalker in his iconic pilot suit and Princess Leia), as well as Luke’s trusty companion, R2-D2, and Rebel Crew and Stormtrooper Minifigures. It also has an Imperial turret, transporter and command centre, all of which unlock interactive features, like laser-shooting sounds, engine sounds, and lights, plus refueling and repair sounds, through the use of the included brick, two minifigures, and five tags.
