2 days agoWhat surprised us the most at CES 2026
CES 2026 delivered unexpected product shifts, early Wi‑Fi 8 draft hardware, and Motorola expanding Razr branding to book-style foldables.
Rather than focusing on speed upgrades, Wi-Fi 8 promises improved stability. It offers the high speeds and bandwidth of Wi-Fi 7, but with improved power efficiency, higher throughput, and better peer-to-peer communication between devices. Wi-Fi 8 is also better at maintaining fast, stable connections when users are moving devices around, or moving them further away from their router. As a result, Wi-Fi 8 users will experience less "dropping out" or freezing and better streaming and gaming performance.
