A tablet wherever your phone goes.
Holding the Z TriFold confirmed my suspicions: It's a tablet with a phone attached. And after spending an hour folding and unfolding it, I'm pretty much ready to trade in the single-hinge foldable I've been carrying for the past couple of weeks.
I used the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold over the holidays as my daily driver and I can probably count on one hand...
Family Hub fridges are getting a new hands-free feature.
Samsung's latest update to its Family Hub smart fridge line adds a feature I've always wanted - voice-activated door opening and closing.
Using the device's built-in Bixby voice control, you will soon be able to say "Shut the fridge door," or "Open the door," and your machine will obey.
According to a press release from Samsung at...
The LG OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV.
The amazingly thin wallpaper design from LG is back. The first Wallpaper TV was released back in 2017, and it's been six years since we saw the last one. But LG has revived the product line with the LG OLED evo W6, and I've seen it here at CES.
The TV body is only 9mm thick (which is actually a bit more than the last model), thanks to a completely...
Xthings is rolling into CES with a bunch of new gear, including two new smart locks and a few smart security cameras. It's definitely the Ultraloq Bolt Sense that's the most intriguing of the bunch, however. It's a relatively compact smart deadbolt that combines facial recognition with palm vein authentication for touch-free access, without resorting to an app.
While palm scanning is...

Ikea has released the most affordable version of its Sjöss USB-C chargers yet. Following an $8 30W version that launched in 2024 and a $35 65W option that debuted earlier this year, the new 20W Sjöss is now available online and through many of Ikea's physical US stores for just $3.99.
That's considerably cheaper than Apple's $19 20W USB...

Withings is back at CES 2026 with another smart scale: the $599.95 Body Scan 2. This time, it's got an even tighter focus on cardiovascular and metabolic health.
The Body Scan 2 contains eight electrodes on the scale itself, as well as an additional four electrodes within a retractable...
Disclaimer: Microphone does not emit green lasers.
Shure is updating its MV88 microphone for the modern age by adding a USB-C connector for mounting directly to your smartphone. The original MV88, released in 2015, had a Lightning connector, but obviously that's not practically useful anymore. The MV88+ added USB, but relied on a cable and didn't mount directly to a phone or tablet. The...
New OLED gaming monitors from top companies coming out this year should look clearer and crisper. LG Display and Samsung Display, which typically provide the actual panels used in gaming monitors, are finally lining up the colors of their subpixels in vertical RGB stripes - remember when we used to worry about Pentile OLED displays? - which means, among other improvements, the panels...
Mammotion is upgrading its flagship robotic lawnmower with its new lidar-equipped navigation system, allowing it to generate a live 3D map of your yard while it mows. The company revealed the Luba 3 AWD, which comes with lidar sensors that can scan "from the ground to the treetops" with centimeter-level accuracy, during CES 2026.
The lidar system is part of Mammotion's "Tri-Fusion" system...
The Lockin V7 Max looks nothing like other smart locks. | Image: Lockin
While using a smart lock has a lot of positives, one of the negatives is having to deal with a battery that has unexpectedly gone dead. Lockin is introducing a smart lock that bypasses that problem: the V7 Max, which is powered by wireless optical charging. According to the company, the lock uses "eye-safe optical...
