If the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (CES 2026) felt like a peek into tomorrow, that’s because it was. For four days in January, visionaries and engineers from across the globe gathered to unveil tech that doesn’t just perform it sparks imagination. This year’s innovations were less about gimmicks and more about elevating everyday life, from next-generation foldable screens to AI-powered wearables that feel surprisingly ready for real life.
Here are the six gadgets that captured our attention this year not just for their engineering genius, but for the lifestyle promise they carry into 2026 and beyond. If you don’t believe us, let’s see what The Verge has to say about it.
Motorola Razr Fold Blends Beauty With Utility
When Motorola revealed its new book-style foldable phone at CES 2026, it marked a turning point for a category that has long teased potential but seldom delivered truly compelling day-to-day value. The Motorola Razr Fold unfolds from a sleek exterior into an 8-inch display that feels almost like a pocket-sized tablet, perfect for immersive browsing, media, and multitasking. Its refined design and practical form factor suggest this might be the foldable that nudges more people to embrace flexible screens in everyday life.
Solos AirGo V2 Turns Smart Glasses From Curious to Clever
Smart glasses have flirted with mainstream adoption for years, but Solos AirGo V2 may finally get them over the finish line. These AI-enabled frames let you identify objects, translate text in real time, answer questions hands-free, and even record content all while staying comfortably wearable. At roughly $299, this iteration feels like the perfect entry point for anyone curious about augmented, intelligent eyewear without the intimidation factor as seen on Android Central.
Samsung Micro RGB TV Turns Screens Into Art
In the realm of home entertainment, Samsung stole hearts with its Micro RGB 130-inch TV, a display that manages color fidelity, brightness, and size in a way few have before. This isn’t just a TV, it's a centerpiece, with lifelike visuals that seem to dissolve the boundary between content and reality. The perfect media canvas for cinephiles, gamers, and design-savvy homeowners alike, its debut at CES 2026 underlines how television tech can be both functional and breathtaking.

Lenovo’s Rollable Gaming Laptop Expands Possibilities
Gaming and creative computing got a serious upgrade this year thanks to Lenovo’s rollable screen laptop concept. Instead of one static panel, the display seamlessly extends horizontally from a portable 16 inches to a cinematic 24-inch ultrawide view. Whether you’re editing content, exploring huge spreadsheets, or immersing in your favorite game, the flexibility offers a new kind of freedom in how we interact with screens on the go.
LG CLOiD Brings Robot Assistants Closer to Home
Who hasn’t wished for a helping hand in the house? LG’s CLOiD home robot is one of the most ambitious attempts yet to blur the line between wish and reality. Designed to handle everyday chores, coordinate household appliances, and interact with inhabitants in a friendly, AI-assisted way, CLOiD embodies a vision of a “Zero Labor Home.” While still early in its evolution, its appearance at CES 2026 suggests that robotics might finally start making daily life feel a bit more effortless.
Lenovo ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition Reinvents Workstations
Desktop computing made a striking comeback with the ThinkCentre X AIO Aura Edition, a bold, nearly square all-in-one PC that reshapes how we think about productivity. Its design gives professionals, creators, and power users a workspace that feels intimate yet expansive, encouraging new ways of multitasking. If you’ve ever wanted your monitor to be more central to your creative flow, this device points the way forward.
Bonus Gadget That Made Us Say Wow
Smart Lego Bricks Bring Playful Tech to Classic Fun
CES 2026 was not all serious innovation and that’s why we love it. Lego unveiled interactive Smart Bricks, tiny intelligent blocks packed with sensors that react to play patterns. They bring digital awareness to physical buildings without requiring screens, marrying tradition with futuristic magic. We’re not sure every adult needs this (yet), but watching them come alive with light and sound brought a genuine smile to our faces.

Looking Forward With Optimism
If CES 2026 had a theme, it might have realizedpotential. This year’s gadgets weren’t just splashy demos, they were products that hint at a future people can live with, enjoy, and genuinely benefit from. Whether it’s a foldable screen that simplifies productivity, smart glasses that augment reality in thoughtful ways, or robots that ease daily tasks at home, the innovations unveiled in Las Vegas remind us that technology can be both practical and delightful.
And in a world that often feels overwhelmed by complexity, a little wonder like smart bricks that make us laugh is exactly the extra layer of joy we needed heading into 2026.
