The five new gadgets I tried and loved at CES 2026 (that you can buy right now)
"Every year, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) gives us a glimpse of what's around the corner in tech: creepy humanoid robots, robovacs that climb stairs, AI baked into everything. Some of these products will never come to fruition. Some will arrive months later. And some — the rarities we picked out below — are available to order right now. I had a chance to try each one in person on the show floor in Las Vegas."
"They have a larger 52-degree field of view (up from 50 degrees) and 700 nits of brightness (up from 600), and 1,200 pixels of vertical resolution (up from 1080). All of these improvements were immediately noticeable. I wore them connected to an Android phone for roughly 10 minutes, and while that's not enough to speak to long-term comfort, they never felt heavy on my nose, and they come with different nose pieces to find the perfect fit."
CES highlights upcoming consumer technologies including humanoid robots, stair-climbing robovacs, and pervasive AI. Some showcased products may never reach consumers, while others could arrive months after their CES appearances. Xreal's new $449 smartglasses deliver a 52-degree field of view, 700 nits brightness, and 1,200-pixel vertical resolution, with improved short-term comfort and Android compatibility; a $99 dock enables Nintendo Switch 2 support. The $280 DuRoBo Krono is a smartphone-sized e-reader for reading, music, and note-taking, featuring a physical dial for page scrolling and settings adjustment as an alternative to touchscreens.
