CES 2026 didn’t just show us the future, it redefined entire product categories. From televisions that hit 10,000 nits to robot vacuums that can climb stairs, the year’s biggest tech showcase was full of bold ideas, wild prototypes, and products that blur the line between sci-fi and shipping soon. Here’s a look at the most jaw-dropping tech from Las Vegas.
1. TCL X11L
TCL has redefined what LED TVs can do. The X11L marks the debut of the company’s new SQD-Mini LED technology, delivering the kind of black levels expected from OLED while pushing brightness into uncharted territory. It is the first consumer TV to reach 10,000 nits peak brightness, a milestone for HDR visuals. Scenes like sunlight reflecting off water now come across with a realism previously unseen in LED displays.
To handle blooming, TCL integrated 20,000 individual dimming zones, and color accuracy has been pushed to its limit with 100% BT.2020 gamut coverage. The TV is powered by the TSR AI Processor, which uses generative AI to upscale legacy content into crisp, near-native 4K in real time.
2. Clicks Communicator
Inspired by BlackBerry, the Clicks Communicator isn’t just a quirky retro phone, it’s a deliberate rethinking of mobile use. Built as a standalone messaging-first smartphone, it encourages productivity without the pull of doomscrolling. The design is compact, the use case is focused, and the intention is clear.
It comes with a physical QWERTY keyboard that supports touch input and integrates a fingerprint scanner into the spacebar. The 4.03-inch AMOLED display keeps the experience clean and focused.
Running Android 16, the phone supports 5G, eSIM, and a physical SIM, while also offering a 50MP rear camera and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also features a side-mounted Signal LED that lets users assign custom colors to notifications from specific contacts.
3. Roborock Saros Rover
The Roborock Saros Rover might be the first robot vacuum that finally gets it. With bendable legs and a dual-motor drive system, it can climb stairs and clean each riser, effectively killing off the notion that robot vacuums are limited to single-floor living.
It uses LiDAR 4.0 and something Roborock calls Physical AI to recognize step geometry in real time. This is a fundamental shift, it’s no longer a cleaning gadget, it’s an autonomous whole-home solution.
4. Lego Smart Play System
Lego has made its iconic bricks smarter. The Lego Smart Play System introduces Smart 2×4 Bricks with built-in sensors, accelerometers, speakers, lights, and Bluetooth. These blocks recognize nearby smart components and trigger interactive responses.
In a Star Wars kit, an X-Wing will produce engine sounds during play. Detect a nearby TIE Fighter and the system responds with battle effects. The system bridges the gap between tactile fun and digital logic, letting kids program behaviors using a simple app. The first sets, including Star Wars kits, hit stores on March 1.
5. Baseus Nomos NH21
Baseus Nomos 6-in-1 NH21 is what happens when power delivery meets good design. With two retractable USB-C cables, two extra USB-C ports, a USB-A slot, and Qi2-certified wireless charging, it juices up six devices simultaneously, with a peak output of 245W.
Each primary USB-C can deliver 140W, enough to fast-charge even dual MacBook Pros. Baseus uses GaN technology and a split thermal structure to minimize heat. There’s even a real-time digital power display. It’s launching in the US later this month.
6. LG OLED evo W6
LG’s return to the “Wallpaper TV” category is a stunner. The OLED evo W6 is just 9mm thick and mounts flush to the wall with zero gap, hiding wires through a Zero Connect Box that wirelessly transmits 4K video and audio from up to 10 meters away.
It’s also 3.9x brighter than standard OLEDs thanks to Hyper Radiant Color tech, making it perfect for bright rooms. LG even tackled reflection issues with a new coating that earned the first-ever “Reflection Free Premium” certification.
7. Lockin V7 Max
The Lockin V7 Max introduces AuraCharge, a wireless optical charging system that beams energy to the lock from a dedicated transmitter placed up to 13 feet away. This removes the need for replaceable or rechargeable batteries, solving one of the biggest pain points in smart locks.
The V7 Max supports finger vein, palm vein, and 3D facial recognition. It has dual 5-inch displays, two HD cameras, and Matter compatibility for integration with all major smart home platforms.
8. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable
Lenovo’s Legion Pro Rollable may be the boldest concept at CES. It starts as a 16-inch OLED laptop and transforms into 21.5 inches or 24 inches with the push of a button. The screen expands sideways using a dual-motor tension system, giving users the ability to shift aspect ratios from 16:10 to 24:9 depending on their gameplay needs.
Underneath, it’s a beast, built on the Legion Pro 7i chassis with Intel Core Ultra CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. Powered by Lenovo AI Engine+, it dynamically adjusts performance based on the use scenario. The concept opens a new frontier for portable, competitive gaming.
