With CES 2026 officially kicking off this week, there’s going to be a lot of cool tech that gets introduced to the public. While much of it will be shown off over the coming days, plenty of exciting new devices and other technological advancements have already been announced over the past couple of days. With everything that’s going to be unveiled, it’ll be easy to miss stuff here and there. That’s why we’ve put together this massive guide that we’ll be expanding throughout the week to ensure you don’t miss a beat. AI is, of course, bigger than ever, so you’ll see a lot of products that incorporate AI in new ways, but this is the Consumer Electronics show, after all, so the main focus is going to be on all the cool new tech that you’ll probably want to have in your own home.
TV and Home Entertainment
For many, the TV is the focal point of the home. The centerpiece, if you will. At least when it comes to entertainment. There are already some pretty impressive announcements surrounding TVs and related home entertainment products, and you’ll find all of that here. From TVs with massive displays to new features and technology that are pushing the segment forward.
Samsung’s mega TV: The 130-inch monster that looks like a piece of art
Samsung believes in the philosophy of technology as art, and that couldn’t be more evident with its announcement of the 130-inch Micro RGB TV. This huge display sets the standard for Samsung’s offerings in the ultra-premium segment of TVs. While it will surely be costly, it’ll also drive conversation and make for some impressive movie nights.
LG’s new Wallpaper TV blends a thin design with completely wireless entertainment
Samsung isn’t the only brand that thinks of technology as art. Enter the new Wallpaper TV from LG, a TV so thin that it’s as thin as a standard pencil eraser. It’s also completely wireless, with everything that you’d want to connect to the TV directly being connected to the Zero Connect Box instead. Allowing the placement of the TV to be just about anywhere.
AWOL Vision unveils its most advanced projectors ever
TVs are a fantastic choice for home entertainment, but if you want to take things to the next level, a projector is a great way to go. AWOL Vision has been a leader in the consumer projector market of late, and its most advanced projectors ever were announced at CES 2026. Advancements include Diamond-Like Carbon-coated lenses for a light transmittance that gets boosted to 99.97%, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced certifications, and much more.
TCL launches the brightest TV ever made
Brightness can be an overlooked specification when it comes to TVs, but it’s an important factor when choosing one for your home, because it can greatly impact the visual experience. That is, unless the TV is brighter than anything that could cause this kind of negative impact. This week at CES 2026, TCL introduced the X11L TV, a TV with a peak brightness of a whopping 10,000 nits.
XGIMI wants to bring stories to life with its new Titan Noir Max projector
Those who are in the market for a projector definitely shouldn’t overlook the XGIMI Titan Noir Max, a projector that XGIMI claims can bring stories to life with the implementation of its new and improved Dynamic IRIS system, which it says takes contrast and turns it into a part of the narrative of whatever you’re watching.
LG Display introduces TV panels with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits
LG Display is the part of LG that makes all the display tech, and this year it has announced a new panel tech that reaches a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. This new tech also has an integrated coating that helps reduce light reflection to 0.3%, resulting in the ability to maintain that deep contrast and high visibility even when there’s a ton of light in the room.
Samsung is using AI to improve the TV experience across the board
Alongside its big TV announcements, Samsung also announced the Vision AI Companion, an AI feature of its new TVs that can bring together the different elements of a TV experience for a more well-rounded experience overall. Samsung is calling this a full entertainment companion that can guide users on what to watch, what to eat, and what to listen to for the best experience possible.
TCL is launching a new soundbar with sound by Bang & Olufsen
TCL continues to embody the very essence of affordable premium when it comes to home entertainment, and while the TCL X11L TV is a good representation of that, so is the company’s newly announced soundbar that has sound by Bang & Olufsen. It features 460W of total power, while also being coupled with a 6.5-inch subwoofer to ensure that you still get that booming bass that pairs so well with big blockbuster movies.
Hisense makes RGB MiniLED more affordable
Hisense, like TCL, is another leader in the affordable TV segment that often brings consumers more advanced and exciting features that are typically reserved for TVs that cost more. The same goes for TV panel technology. Hisense continues this trend by introducing the RGB MiniLED technology to its smaller TV options. Once reserved for its massive 116-inch TV that was announced last year, Hisense is now bringing it to its 55-inch models. It also plans to use these panels on TVs all the way up to 100 inches.
Wearables
CES is always ripe with new wearables from earbuds to headphones to smartwatches, and now that includes other emerging product categories like smart glasses. There have already been quite a few new wearables announced, and there will no doubt be more as the week carries on. If you find excitement and delight in the announcement of new wearable products that you can add to your collection, then this is the place to be.
Xreal teams up with ASUS ROG to launch the coolest smart glasses around for gamers
CES isn’t entirely about gaming, but there’s always a lot of gaming-related products announced every year. For CES 2026, this includes a new, and perhaps somewhat surprising, yet equally exciting announcement that Xreal has partnered with ASUS Republic of Gamers for the ASUS ROG Xreal R1 smart glasses. Slide these on, sit back, and enjoy gaming on a massive 171-inch screen that has a 240Hz refresh rate.
Rokid’s AI smart glasses are ultra-light for all-day comfort
AI smart glasses seem to be the hot topic of discussion, which is why you’re likely going to see plenty of them announced at CES this year. In fact, here’s another pair with the Rokid Style. A pair of smart glasses that come with an ultra-light design to promote all-day comfort. Because why would you want to wear a pair of glasses that aren’t going to be comfortable?
RingConn unveils the Gen 3 with vibrating health risk alerts
RingConn made one of our favorite smart rings last year, and at CES 2026, it’s back with the third generation of its flagship offering. The RingConn Gen 3 is everything you may have loved about the Gen 2 model, but with several improvements that warrant taking another look at RingConn. For example, it now vibrates to warn of potential health risks that you may be incurring.
Xreal’s latest AR glasses are now more affordable while improving on the displays
If the ASUS ROG Xreal R1 glasses are designed for gamers, and the Xreal 1S glasses are designed for everyone else. These new smart AR glasses from Xreal were announced at CES 2026, and one of the main reasons they should catch your attention is that they’re more affordable than previous pairs that Xreal offered, while also coming with improved displays with better resolution.
Chamelo introduces eyewear with tint-changing tech and built-in speakers
Smart glasses don’t just have to be glasses with displays that can show you AI-driven responses to your questions and requests. Chamelo has announced three new pairs of eyewear at CES 2026 that focus more on practical applications for athletes and those who spend a lot of time behind computer screens. The Aroza Ski Goggles, for example, incorporate tint-changing tech so you always have the right amount of tint for the occasion. They provide up to 50 hours of tint adjustment on a single charge, too.
XGIMI takes its expertise in projectors and applies it to smart glasses
XGIMI is one of the better brands out there for projectors from the past few years, and all that expertise is being put to use with the company’s latest venture, smart glasses. The XGIMI MemoMind smart glasses are powered by AI and designed to offer the consumer features like integrated dual-lens displays and integrated speakers.
Smartphones, tablets, and Mobile Accessories
This wouldn’t be a CES without an onslaught of new accessories for smartphones, tablets, and other small devices, as well as the occasional smartphone-related announcement. And you better believe there’s plenty of it making a debut at CES 2026. This includes chargers, cases, power banks, external SSD attachments, and much more.
BMX knows that thin is in when it comes to portable charging tech
For everyday portable charging solutions, nothing really beats a super-thin power pack that you can slip into your bag or, even better, snap onto the back of your phone using magnets. There are already lots of thin power packs out there, but BMX doesn’t think they were thin enough. So it came out with the SolidSafe Air, the world’s thinnest 5,000mAh power bank, complete with MagSafe compatibility.
Aukey has you covered with new 5-in-1 charging tech
Aukey is another pretty well-known brand in the charging accessory market, and at CES 2026, it introduced some new and exciting accessories launching this year, including a device that charges 5 devices at the same time. While there are accessories out there that charge more devices than this simultaneously, Aukey’s MagFusion DeskHive 5X Pro is a thoughtfully designed desktop charging station that doesn’t take up too much space.
Anker’s latest Nano charger comes with a mini display
A display on a charger isn’t really needed, but it sure is a nice little addition if you like looking at battery stats or whimsical emoji. This compact 45W charger is just as easily used for travel as it is for the home, too. Plus, Anker announced a ton of other power products at CES.
Samsung wants to put Gemini in 800 million Galaxy devices this year
Samsung has its own Galaxy AI, but there are things that Gemini might do that Galaxy AI can’t. That seems like a reasonable explanation for Samsung’s push to get Gemini into 800 million Galaxy devices in 2026. Samsung isn’t pushing for Galaxy AI in 800 million more devices. It’s pushing to get the number of Galaxy devices that have Gemini up to 800 million. Still, that sounds like a lofty accomplishment.
TCL unveils a new phone and tablet
TCL mainly makes TVs, but in the past few years or so, it’s been branching out into the phone and tablet segment. This year, it brought a new phone and a new tablet to CES, and we couldn’t be more excited about the Note A1 NXTPAPER, a tablet with a NXTPAPER display. If you’re not familiar with the NXTPAPER displays, it offers a lot of neat benefits, including what TCL calls true paper restoration tech.
Scosche launches new phone mounts and chargers
Scosche makes some pretty cool phone accessories, and this year it’s introducing some new mounts and chargers. The MagicMount Charge 5-in-1 is one that consumers will want to keep their eyes on, as it allows charging multiple devices in the car at once.
ShiftCam Gear is launching two new mobile-first SSDs and some new iPhone camera equipment
ShiftCam Gear might not be a name you’re familiar with, but it should be. If you’ve heard of the Planck mobile-first SSD that was launched last year, then you’ll be happy to know that the company is bringing two more models to market this year. It’s also launching some new accessories for iPhones, including a hybrid camera rig.
Smart Home Devices
The home gets smarter every year with the arrival of new devices in robotics, home security, and more, and this year is no different. From robotic companions to robot window washers, to smart locks and security cameras, there’s a ton of new and exciting smart home tech to watch out for in 2026.
ECOVACS is revolutionizing home robotics with whole-home solutions
ECOVACS makes tons of smart home tech, but it’s mostly known for its quality robot vacuums. This year, it’s introducing more than just new robot vacuums, though. This includes a new flagship robot vacuum, but there’s also a new robot window cleaner, a robot dog companion, and now a pool cleaner.
Eureka wants to make the most advanced robot vacuum features more affordable
Highly advanced robot vacuums with the best features usually aren’t cheap. In fact, they’re generally quite expensive. Eureka is attempting to change that somewhat by introducing some of these fancy features into a more affordable segment of the robot vacuum market.
No lawn is safe from the Goko M6
Robot lawn mowers are a relatively new product in the robotic smart home category, and every year they geta little bit better. RobotPlusPlus’s Goko M6 is one of those robot mowers that is perfect for people with large lawns, specifically those that might have some portion with a steep incline. The Goko M6 can traverse 90% lawns, which makes it an ideal solution for tough terrain.
GE introduces smarter shades for smarter living
GE Lighting’s new smart shades are definitely going to be on your list of must-have items if you’re trying to automate anything you can. They’re Matter-compatible, and they offer a blackout option if you like being able to block out as much light as possible. They even come with a six-month battery and a high-efficiency motor.
Cheerble caters to multi-cat homes with its new smart pet feeder
Cats can be wonderful, but when you have more than one in the home, it can sometimes be tough to ensure that all of them are eating properly. Whether some of them have specialized diets or one of them is just greedy and tries to eat all the food, it can be a constant battle. That’s where Cheerble’s new Pet Feeder Match G1 comes in handy. It uses facial recognition technology to match the face of your cat to the data it stores locally, and will only open up the feeding dome if a match is made. This can simplify feeding cats with special diets and ensure that no sneaky cats are taking food from the others.
New cordless vacuums from Bosch can tell you when your floors are thoroughly clean
These might not be robot vacuums, but Bosch’s new cordless vacuums introduced at CES 2026 are still smart thanks to the MicroClean brush and sensors. The MicroClean sensors are what really make this magic, though. After doing a pass with the vacuum, or rather as the vacuum is picking stuff up, it analyzes all the debris and particles and sends that data to the MicroClean Ring. This ring will illuminate blue once the floor is thoroughly clean. So, if it’s not illuminating blue, you still have work to do.
You’ll never need to replace or recharge the batteries in these Lockin smart locks
Batteries, whether rechargeable or replaceable, are a fact of life with just about every electronic device that isn’t powered directly by AC power. However, that isn’t the case with these new smart locks from Lockin. The V7 Max smart lock, which also acts as a video doorbell, uses a new power technology called AuraCharge. It works by receiving transmitted infrared beams from a wall-mounted module inside the home that’s connected to the power. It transforms that power into a light beam, which then transmits to the receiver on the lock. Pretty cool, right?
Arspura wants to make your kitchen smoke-free
If you’re a home cook, you’ve dealt with a smoky kitchen or two. If you’ve done that, you also know how much of a bummer it is to have to deal with it. Arspura wants to prevent that from happening with its new F1 Top-Suction Range, which it says can make your kitchen smoke-free in seconds. That definitely sounds like a home cook’s dream.
Samsung’s new Family Hub fridge now supports voice commands
The fridge was one of the first home appliances to gain smart features, and now Samsung’s Family Hub fridge is getting even smarter with the ability to support voice commands. Have you ever forgotten to close the fridge door? Well, that won’t be a problem with this fridge, because you can tell Bixby to do it for you. It can open the fridge door, as well. This is convenience personified.
Beatbot introduces a pool cleaning robot that cleans itself
Ok, so the Beatbot AquaSense X doesn’t really clean itself per se, but it does come with a power and washing station that takes care of that for you, providing post-pool cleaning maintenance so that you can be more hands-off. With this bad boy, you might never have to clean your own pool again. Or clean any of the tools associated with the task.
This smart display is the ultimate family organizer
Busy families know how chaotic things can get if things aren’t well-organized, which is why this new Calendar+ Max smart display from Copzyla is the ultimate tool for keeping things organized, specifically the family schedule. It’s a 55-inch screen that the whole family can interact with, and it can be used for everything from scheduling to video chat.
Libernovo gives its Omni chair some pretty neat upgrades
A good home office chair is as much of a smart purchase as actual smart home devices powered by AI and other smart features. While it may not open your fridge door for you or turn down the lights when you’re ready to watch a movie, it does ensure you maintain good back and spine health, and that’s going to be easier than ever with the upgrades that Libernovo has made to the Omni chair. It now features a cooling cushion and incorporates a 160-degree incline.
These wooden blinds from Lutron can track the sun for optimal shade
Smart blinds don’t have to be made from fabric or other soft materials, and although there are probably more than a few options out there in this regard, these new ones from Lutron caught our eye because of the sun-tracking tech inside that adjusts their position to cut down on glare and keep things at an optimal temperature. How cool is that?
Switchbot’s home robot will do your chores for you
Most people hate doing chores, and that’s perfectly fine. They’re not exactly the peak of excitement. You know what is the peak of excitement, though? A home robot that does your chores for you. Switchbot’s new Onero H1 home robot does just that, alleviating you of some of the burden that a house full of chores can place on a person.
LG has a new home robot too, and it not only folds your laundry, but it can also cook you breakfast
Not to be outdone, LG has also introduced a new home robot at CES 2026 called the CLOiD robot. LG says it’s capable of doing several household chores like folding laundry, and it even claims the robot can cook you breakfast. Imagine how simplified things would be if you didn’t have to do either of those things as often.
Narwal wants to help you keep your mattress clean
You’ve likely seen dozens of smart robot vacuums at this point, but have you ever seen a smart vacuum designed specifically to clean your mattress? That’s exactly what Narwal announced. The U50 smart vacuum for your mattress that cleans it by sucking up mites and allergens. If you value a clean bed, then you might want this.
Let GE’s new fridge barcode scanner fix your shopping list
Shopping can be a therapeutic experience, but it quickly turns into chaos and despair if there’s something wrong with the shopping list. GE has come up with a fridge barcode scanner that fixes this problem. How, exactly? It’s pretty simple. You scan the barcode of the packaging of an item once it’s empty, and the fridge will identify the exact brand and size of that item, then add it to a digital list. That list can be viewed within the SmartHQ app. If you struggle with forgetting to pick things up when you go grocery shopping, you’ll love this.
Headphones and Audio
Headphones and other audio are a mainstay at CES, and this year already has some exciting announcements. While there aren’t a ton of new audio announcements yet, the true first day of CES isn’t until the morning of January 6. So, there will likely be more as time goes on.
Audeze announces the Maxwell 2 gaming headset
The Audeze Maxwell was a game-changing gaming headset that introduced gamers to audiophile-grade sound in a wireless package. As good as the Audeze Maxwell is, it’s not without flaws.

JBL announces several new pairs of earbuds and headphones
JBL is a longtime brand in the headphone and audio space, so it should be no surprise that it announced several new audio products at CES 2026. This includes a new line of Quantum gaming headsets, multiple new pairs of true wireless earbuds, and a few new pairs of wireless headphones, most of which are priced pretty competitively.
