For a long time, tech companies have pitched pet cameras as a way to find out what your furball is up to when you’re not home. Vex, a new robot companion launched at CES this week, takes that a step further: it follows your pet around, filming as it goes, and uses AI smarts to […]
Birdbuddy is introducing two new smart bird feeders: the flagship Birdbuddy 2 and the more compact, cheaper Birdbuddy 2 Mini aimed at first-time users and smaller outdoor spaces. Both models are designed to be faster and easier to use than previous generations, with upgraded cameras that can shoot in portrait or landscape and wake instantly […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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? […]
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 […]
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 handle. This is similar to the […]
