CES 2026 just wrapped up and there was a lot to unpack. From phones that fold three ways to laptops with dual screens, this year’s show felt less like science fiction and more like stuff you’ll actually want to buy. We sorted through all the hype to bring you the gadgets that are genuinely worth your attention.
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold
Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold is the phone-tablet hybrid we didn’t know we needed. This thing folds twice to go from a regular 6.5-inch phone into a massive 10-inch tablet. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, it’s got the muscle to back up those crazy screens. The dual titanium hinges protect the display when folded, while One UI 8 lets you run three apps side by side or even use Samsung DeX like a mini desktop. Yes, it’s expensive at around $2,500, but if you’ve been dreaming of ditching your tablet for an all-in-one device, this is the most impressive option yet.
Clicks Power Keyboard
Remember when phones had actual keyboards? Clicks is bringing that back in a clever way. This magnetic, slide-out hardware keyboard snaps to the back of your phone using MagSafe or Qi2, freeing up your entire screen for actual content instead of a virtual keyboard. It packs its own 2,150mAh battery that can even wirelessly charge your phone, plus you get multi-device Bluetooth pairing and customizable shortcuts. If you’re tired of autocorrect betraying you or you just miss the BlackBerry days, this accessory delivers proper tactile typing without making you buy a whole new phone.
Motorola Razr Fold
Motorola finally entered the book-style foldable game with the Razr Fold, and they’re not messing around. This thing pairs a 6.6-inch cover screen with an 8.1-inch inner display, plus a triple 50MP camera system and stylus support. Instead of just relying on nostalgia like their flip phones, Motorola is leaning into productivity and multitasking with big screens, Dolby Vision video, and AI camera features. It’s an Android alternative to Samsung’s Galaxy Fold lineup, but with Razr branding and a stronger focus on getting actual work done. We’re still waiting on full specs and pricing, but early impressions suggest this could shake up the foldable market.
ASUS Zenbook Duo (2026)
Dual-screen laptops usually feel gimmicky, but ASUS nailed it this time. The Zenbook Duo features two 14-inch OLED displays that sit really close together, so it feels like one large canvas instead of having an awkward gap in the middle. The detachable Bluetooth keyboard and kickstand let you flip between normal laptop mode, dual-screen desktop setup, and sharing mode for presentations. Intel Core Ultra processors and a dual-battery design keep everything running smoothly. For creators, coders, and remote workers who’ve been thinking about a dual-monitor setup, this laptop genuinely replaces that desk clutter while staying portable enough to throw in a bag.
Lenovo Rollable Concept Laptops
Foldables are cool, but rollables might be the next big thing. Lenovo’s new ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable takes their earlier prototype and turns it into something that feels like an actual product. The screen rolls up vertically to give you more space for documents, social feeds, and timelines when you need it, then retracts for portability. It’s targeting professionals who want more screen real estate without carrying a bigger laptop. While still somewhat experimental, this feels like a genuine glimpse of how work laptops might scale screen size on demand in a few years.
Samsung Freestyle+
Samsung’s updated portable projector got some meaningful upgrades. The Freestyle+ now delivers brighter 430 ISO-lumen output and adds AI OptiScreen that automatically tunes picture quality to whatever wall or surface you’re projecting onto. It includes Vision AI Companion (Bixby-powered) plus Samsung TV Plus and Gaming Hub, making it an all-in-one streaming and casual gaming device you can literally throw in a bag. If you’ve ever wanted movie night to happen anywhere, this smarter and brighter projector makes it way more practical than lugging around a traditional setup.
Eufy S2 Robot Vacuum
Robot vacuums keep getting smarter, and the Eufy S2 is leading the pack. This high-end vacuum and mop combo delivers up to 30,000Pa of suction and includes an integrated aromatherapy system that diffuses scents while it cleans. AI obstacle detection and 3D mapping help it dodge clutter, while the self-cleaning roller mop uses electrolyzed water to stay fresh. The base station handles auto-emptying, refilling, and drying the mop, so you barely have to think about it. For people who want deep cleaning with minimal effort and a nicer-smelling home, this is the robot vacuum to beat.
XLean TR1 Robot Vacuum
Here’s something different. The XLean TR1 operates as both an autonomous robot and a handheld cordless floor washer, switching between forms in about a second. The dual-motor DirectSuction system delivers up to 17,000Pa of suction, and its “Self-evolving Intelligence” learns from your handheld use to improve navigation and cleaning over time. Instead of buying a robot vacuum and a separate stick vac or mop for those annoying spills, this one device handles both jobs. It’s the kind of practical innovation that actually solves a real problem.
Beatbot AquaSense X
Robot vacuums automated floor cleaning, so why not do the same for your pool? The Beatbot AquaSense X is a premium robotic pool cleaner designed for in-ground pools, handling vacuuming, wall scrubbing, and debris collection autonomously. It’s targeting higher-end smart home owners who want to automate pool maintenance the same way they automated everything else. If you’ve got a pool and you’re tired of the constant upkeep, this brings that same “set it and forget it” convenience to your backyard.
Anker Nano Charger (Smart Display / iPhone Demo)
Anker’s CES 2026 Qi2 lineup includes some genuinely useful updates. The Nano-series chargers now feature smart-display variants that show real-time charging info and device status on a tiny screen, with iPhones heavily featured in the demos. Qi2 support means stronger, MagSafe-style magnetic alignment and better charging efficiency for newer iPhones and compatible Android phones. Think of it as a compact charger that’s easier to align, safer, and more informative than a basic charging brick. Small upgrade, but one you’ll appreciate every time you plug in.
Infinix AI Glasses
Smart glasses are slowly becoming a thing, and Infinix is throwing their hat in the ring. These AI-driven glasses focus on overlays, notifications, and companion AI experiences rather than full VR. They tie into phones and AI hubs for glanceable info, media, and possibly gaming or productivity use cases as Infinix pushes beyond phones into ecosystem devices. As an affordable-leaning option, these bring “heads-up” phone features to your field of view without the premium price tags of competitors.
