29 Cool New Gadgets to Keep on Your Radar (CES 2026 Edition)

Chinese appliance company Dreame Technology has departed from robot vacuums and kitchen gadgets with a trio of automotive concepts unveiled at CES 2026. As the flagship of the lineup, the Nebula Next 01 targets groundbreaking hypercar manufacturers, such as Bugatti, Rimac and Koenigsegg. Accordingly, it features four electric motors rated for a claimed combined output of nearly 1,900 horsepower and a 0-62 mph sprint in a mere 1.8 seconds. What’s more, Dreame claims the design is to bring a drag coefficient of just 0.185.

The TCL X11L is the brand’s flagship TV for 2026. It’s an SQD (Super Quantum Dot) Mini-LED TV that boasts 20,000 dimming zones and a peak brightness of 10,000 nits. It comes baked with a Google TV operating system and audio tuned by Bang & Olufsen. It comes in three sizes — 75″ ($7,000), 85″ ($8,000) and 98″ ($10,000) — and is available now.

LEGO’s first innovation of 2026 is perhaps the brand’s biggest in decades, but it’s also a perilous gambit for the brand. The new Smart Play System — which hinges on the Smart Bricks, Smart Tags and Smart Minifigs — seeks to add interactivity in the form of motion and voice-activated lights and sounds to the building brick toys. While it clearly adds plenty of interactivity to LEGO’s sets (starting off with the brand’s beloved Star Wars offerings) and a steep price increase, it might also be compromising the simple beauty of what the brand built its reputation on: imagination.

Remember Afeela? Yes, the automotive joint venture between Sony and Honda. Well, they’re back and with a new concept car called the Afeela Prototype 2026. The company revealed the model at the Consumer Electronics Show and is essentially the brand’s pitch at an all-electric crossover SUV. Afeela introduced itself three years ago at CES 2023 with the debut of the Afeela 1 sedan prototype, a futuristic Tesla Model S-like competitor. Now, the Prototype 2026 broadens the prospects for a potential SUV, representing Afeela’s latest progress. It boasts new tech designed and built in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies and its Snapdragon Digital Chassis architecture, which seeks to more closely blend mobile entertainment with autonomous driving tech. Technical specs aren’t quite available just yet, but Afeela claims the 1 sedan could be ready for customers later this year with the Prototype 2026 scheduled for production in 2028.

The Edifier M90 is a compact active speaker system that’s exceptionally versatile. It’s primed for desktop use, but it can be used with a TV (thanks to HDMI eARC) or a turntable (via AUX or USB-C). It has built-in Bluetooth with support for high-resolution codecs, including LDAC, so you can stream music to the system from your smartphone. Each speaker features a two-way design with a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter and a 4-inch mid-bass driver. In total, the system delivers 100 watts of output. Available in white or black finishes.

The Ember Artline is Amazon’s line of lifestyle TVs that are designed to blend into your home by looking like a framed picture and display artwork when not watching TV — you can think of it as Amazon’s rival to Samsung’s The Frame. Naturally, it works with Alexa smart controls and runs a Fire TV operating system. Amazon offers 10 different styles of frames and the TVs come in two different sizes: 55-and 65-inches.

Klipsch is getting back into the headphone game with its Atlas series — they’re the American loudspeaker specialist’s first new headphones in a decade. The series consists of three different over-ear headphones: the HP-1 (not pictured), the HP-2 and the flagship HP-3. The HP-3 are semi-open-back hi-fi headphones designed for serious audiophiles. The HP-2 are closed-back headphones that fall in the middle. And the HP-1 are wireless headphones with active noise-cancellation. Pricing and availability information have yet to be revealed.

Clicks utilizes the retro interface of 2000s Blackberrys to meet the rising desire to disconnect from overwhelming tech. A 4-inch OLED screen, tactile keyboard, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibility, a 50MP main camera and a 24MP front camera support most modern communication platforms, and a fingerprint scanner in the spacebar provides enhanced security. It runs on Android 16, is charged via USB-C or wirelessly and has an expandable microSD storage of up to 2TB.

Victrola’s Soundstage is a compact stereo speaker that’s specifically designed to sit under your turntable. Unlike most speakers, it features a vibration-isolated design that won’t shake the turntable and degrade vinyl playback quality. Additionally, it supports built-in Bluetooth so you can stream music when you’re not playing records. It comes in two finishes, black or walnut, and will be available in summer 2026.

LG has revived its super-thin “Wallpaper TV” that was first introduced in 2017 (and then discontinued in 2020). This 2026 iteration, dubbed the OLED evo W6, is again being touted as the “world’s thinnest” TV — it is just 9mm thick and sits flush against the wall when mounted. The key difference from its predecessor is that it’s compatible with the brand’s Zero Connect Box, which houses all the inputs and wirelessly connects to the TV, so no wires appear to be coming out of the TV. LG also added several other next-gen upgrades, including a new processor and support for modern display features, such as LG’s Hyper Radiant Color Technology. LG has yet to reveal sizing, pricing and availability information.

Following the success of its wildly popular instant film cameras, Fujifilm has expanded the lineup with an all-new dual-purpose option called the Mini Evo Cinema. As such, even though the design was inspired by the Super 8 originally introduced in 1965, the camera is capable of shooting both still images and videos. In practice, this means that it not only prints physical Instax images but also converts captured video data into a shareable QR code. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Fuji has also included a handy “Direct Print Function” that allows for printing of smartphone images in Instax format. Initial release is limited to Japan.

The smart version of Ikea’s viral Varmblixt donut lamp arrives with Matter-compatible smart functionality. Control the lamp using the included Bilresa remote to cycle through 12 preset colors curated by designer Sabine Marcelis, or connect it to the Ikea Home Smart app via a Dirigera hub for access to over 40 shades. The new design features a matte white glass surface that diffuses light from within, creating smooth color transitions that transform any room’s atmosphere with ease.

Ikea is going beyond the conventional home furnishings and into the world of stylish, portable audio gear. Recently revealed at CES 2026, Ikea’s latest is a compact, ultra-portable, cubed Bluetooth speaker called the Kallsup. Roughly the size of a coffee mug, the Kallsup cube speaker boasts the ability to interconnect with up to 100 additional Kallsup units for a comprehensive multi-speaker arrangement. But the best part, in addition to being made in a variety of colors, the Kallsup speaker will reportedly cost only $10 each.

The Fiio M33 R2R is the brand’s mid-range portable hi-fi player — it sits below its flagship player, the M27, which costs $1,800. The M33 R2R features a 24-bit R2R resistor array, modern hardware and is capable of playing hi-res audio files up to 24-bit/384kHz. Its built-in amplifier delivers a total output of 2200 mW, enabling it to drive a wide range of headphones. According to the brand, it’s “designed for listeners who demand uncompromising sound quality, flexibility and performance.”

The LG UltraGear GX7 is the brand’s fastest and brightest OLED gaming monitor to date. The 27-inch monitor integrates the brand’s RGB Tandem OLED technology, delivering 335 nits of brightness and a 540Hz refresh rate (when at QHD resolution, or 720Hz at hD). According to the brand, it’s “built for gamers who want every visual and competitive advantage.”

HP’s latest desktop computer sports an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor with up to 50 TOPs NPU, a Radeon 800M graphics card, has an optional integrated 32W internal battery and can be affixed with a fingerprint scanner for additional security. However, none of that is specifically what makes it interesting. You see, all of this comes in the form of a keyboard. Yes, really. The entirety of the computer’s guts is built into a full-sized, spill-resistant keyboard, making it perfect for coworking spaces and dedicated offices alike. All you have to do is plug in a monitor and you’re good to go.

Samsung’s Music Studio 5 (pictured) and Music Studio 7 are wireless powered speakers that support streaming over Wi-Fi. The smaller of the two, the Music Studio 5, looks quite similar to Ikea’s recently released Nattbad Bluetooth speaker. It features a 4-inch woofer and dual tweeters, and supports Bluetooth streaming as well. The larger Music Studio 7 looks more like a bookshelf speaker and supports higher-resolution streaming (up to 24-bit/96kHz). It can also wirelessly sync with Samsung’s latest TVs (via its Q-Symphony technology) and be used as TV speakers. Pricing and availability info have not yet been released.

Hisense is bucking the big-screen trend by introducing the S5 DécoTV, a 32-inch “lifestyle” TV designed to fit in smaller or secondary rooms. It’s a Full HD display that supports the brand’s Hi-QLED Color technology, delivering a bright, vibrant picture. It is integrated with Amazon’s Fire TV and, via its remote, supports Alexa commands. It also supports Apple AirPlay and HomeKit, making it a good fit for those with Apple devices.

Last year, Samsung introduced its first purchasable Micro RGB TV. At 115 inches, it was absolutely massive. And at $30,000, it was well out of pretty much everybody’s price range. Fast forward a year and Samsung is bringing this advanced backlit technology to the masses, as its 2026 lineup of Micro RGB TVs will be available in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100- and 115-inch models. More details (including price and availability) will be revealed in a few weeks at CES 2026.
