The time has come for our annual pilgrimage to the Nevada desert and the shiny lights of Las Vegas, dwelling to everybody’s favourite tech present: CES. You by no means actually know what is going on to show up at CES, which is what makes it thrilling annually. Certain, there’s the traditional array of laptops and smartphones and whatnot, however it’s not all the time about these extra common bits of tech.
We have been scouring the huge halls and hidden resort suites of CES 2026 to search out one of the best tech of all, and that is what we have discovered that it’s essential find out about.
MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z
At CES 2026, MSI revealed what’s going to turn out to be the world’s strongest gaming GPU: the RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z. And it is an absolute unit of a graphics card, packing in 32GB VRAM with a most energy output of two,500W. Sure, you learn that proper—it drinks the facility and spits out ridiculous, record-breaking benchmark scores.
The opposite key function that units MSI’s bonkers GPU aside is its built-in eight-inch display. This world’s first screen-on-GPU design is constructed that will help you maintain tabs in your system vitals, particularly referring to the GPU’s customization choices, settings, and different options.
As you’d count on, a GPU this highly effective would not come low cost. We do not know the ultimate pricing of MSI’s RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z (neither did MSI), however count on to be forking out at the very least $4,000-5000, if no more. Oh, and that is not forgetting the RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z is a limited-run GPU, too: just one,600 can be made.
Honor Robotic Cellphone Idea
The Honor Robotic Cellphone idea was first revealed in late 2025, with Honor slipping out a couple of selection photographs of this wild-looking smartphone-cum-action cam. It regarded outlandish, and I could not actually see how the 2 ideas married into one thing helpful. However now, having seen the Robotic Cellphone Idea in individual, I am really extra satisfied that it is an incredible concept.
Now, I will caveat this with the truth that Honor hasn’t given us a lot by means of specs for the brand new system. The truth is, it is really given us zero specs to work with, bar the truth that its motion cam is centered on a three-axis gimbal, and that the telephone ties into Honor’s Alpha Plan design idea for the approaching years.
However I am greater than impressed that Honor is taking a critical probability on smartphone kind issue, one thing I actually want extra smartphone producers would do reasonably than churning out a glass rectangle with incremental upgrades each 12-18 months. Honor advised me that, all being properly, we can’t have to attend lengthy for extra data on this hybrid smartphone design: a big launch is doubtlessly happening in early March at Cellular World Congress 2026 in Barcelona.
LG W6 OLED TV
I’ve had an LG C1 OLED TV since 2021, and I nonetheless like it. I hope I need not exchange it anytime quickly, however after I do, LG has a brand new high-end choice for the job.
Performing as a successor to the LG Wallpaper TV from 2017, the “w” on this mannequin stands for “wallpaper,” which echoes its ultra-thin design of simply ~9mm thickness. Its mounts are almost flush with the again of the TV, permitting it to virtually disappear into the wall.
The opposite key function of the TV is that it is almost “wi-fi”. Its single wire is for energy, with a separate connection field offering all different indicators to the TV wirelessly. It incorporates the ports you’d count on to see on a high-end TV: 4 HDMI, Ethernet, two USB, optical, and antenna. Place this wherever inside ~30 ft of your TV, and it’ll ship the indicators to it.
Whereas that is nice for not having to fret about reaching behind the TV, the wi-fi connection could also be a priority should you play video games in your TV. Wi-fi connections all the time have extra potential for lag than wired ones, so it’s best to in all probability wait on this one should you’re a giant gamer. LG says the gaming efficiency is top-notch, so we’ll have to attend and see.
There is no pricing data obtainable but, however it would hopefully be within the vary of affordability (not like the 2017 Wallpaper mannequin).
Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold
We have had telephones that fold horizontally and flip vertically, however how a couple of telephone that folds 3 ways? Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold gives much more display actual property by unfolding twice into three “panels”, with much less noticeable creases than earlier foldables.
The ten-inch display is nearer to a correct pill than two-panel foldables, providing you with extra room to get pleasure from motion pictures, movies, and different media that is greatest on a giant display. It nonetheless manages to remain comparatively skinny, at ~13mm thick when folded and round 4mm thick per panel when unfolded.
That bigger display means it is no drawback to have as much as three totally different apps open; it additionally supports Samsung DeX to work from your phone with a extra desktop-like expertise. And the bigger physique means it could pack a 5,600mAh battery, which is way bigger than the Fold7’s 4,400mAh. It packs the identical Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy CPU because the Galaxy S25 sequence.
Whereas the TriFold is already out in some components of the world, it is deliberate to launch within the first quarter of 2026 within the US. There is no pricing but.

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Professional & Extremely
CES is often a flood of AI buzzwords that do not imply something, however the Samsung Galaxy Book6 sequence really made us cease and look. For years, the “MacBook competitor” title has been thrown round loosely, however that is the primary time it feels earned reasonably than simply marketed.
Samsung is the primary to ship Intel’s Core Extremely Sequence 3 processors, constructed on the 1.8-nanometer 18A node. Which is not only a minor refresh — we’re a 50% leap in CPU efficiency during the last technology.
What actually makes this a correct rival to Apple’s dominance, although, is how Samsung has dealt with the basics. Excessive efficiency often leads to a loud, sizzling mess of a laptop computer, however Samsung redesigned all the cooling structure, bringing a vapor chamber to the Professional sequence for the primary time to maintain issues quiet and steady. They’ve managed to shave the profile right down to a staggering 11.9mm on the Professional 16-inch, but they nonetheless squeezed in a 1,000-nit Dynamic AMOLED 2X show that hits a 120Hz refresh fee.
With the Extremely mannequin delivering as much as 30 hours of battery life and the power to cost as much as 63% in a fast 30-minute espresso break, the “vary nervousness” of Home windows laptops may lastly be over.

It transpires that the legendary guitar-building firm is shifting into new markets and taking over the tremendous aggressive and busy Bluetooth speaker market with its personal designs and distinctive tuning. All good, I believed; this is one other Bluetooth speaker.
However Fender’s ELIE Bluetooth speaker is a extremely glorious proposition that comes with a a lot deeper and clearer sound than I used to be anticipating, and with some surprisingly helpful and area of interest options in addition.
For instance, reasonably than only a speaker on your shelf, the Fender ELIE has four-channel a number of enter with a dual-use XLR-1/4″ port and two wi-fi channels. It may possibly pair over Bluetooth with a second speaker to create a 120W stereo system, and routinely manages voltage to ship optimized efficiency.

Nowadays, it is nearly assured that Lenovo will deliver a loopy new rollable display to those massive tech occasions. Fortunately, at CES 2026, it saved up this excellent pattern with the Lenovo Legion Professional Rollable Idea, which is well one in all my favorites so far.
The place earlier rollable ideas have centered on the vertical, the Legion Professional Rollable focuses on the horizontal, extending outwards from a 16-inch 16:10 show to a whopping 24-inch ultrawide panel that is good for gaming, watching motion pictures, or simply extra work actual property on the transfer.
The thought is that this could possibly be helpful for avid gamers attending esport occasions, however I can see an enormous quantity of potential for productiveness, making it a lot simpler to get your self a wider display with out taking a bigger laptop computer or a secondary monitor. The one factor now’s whether or not this idea is without doubt one of the few that make all of it the best way to a full launch, so fingers crossed for this.
