Samsung is going all-in on artificial intelligence, with its new co-CEO setting a massive target: doubling the number of Galaxy AI-enabled devices to 800 million by 2026. This aggressive expansion is more than just a numbers game; it’s a strategic play to win back the global smartphone crown and cement its partnership with Google as the AI wars heat up. In his first major interview since taking the co-CEO role in November, TM Roh told Reuters that Samsung’s goal is to bake AI into “every product and every service” the company offers. Last year, Samsung already managed to get Galaxy…
Smart rings are evolving rapidly beyond the domain of health and wellness tracking. The likes of Samsung and Oura have focused on biosensing, while upstarts such as 7Ring are turning them into contactless payment devices. At CES 2026, a new wearable brand named Gyges Labs is showcasing another side of smart rings that essentially turns them into an AI-powered note-taking device. What sets this one apart? Now, there is no dearth of AI-powered voice recorders out there. The Plaud Note is fairly powerful, and so is the brand’s wearable pendant geared at the same task. Gyges Labs’ Vocci smart ring…

Google has announced a set of new Gemini features for Google TV at CES 2026, focused on making on-screen responses more useful and easier to understand from the couch. Google first introduced Gemini on Google TV last year as it moves toward replacing Google Assistant with Gemini on its devices. Instead of short, text-heavy answers, Gemini on Google TV will lean into richer, more visual responses, including high-resolution images, relevant video context, and live sports information when it makes sense, helping users get clearer answers at a glance without pulling out their phone. What Gemini can do on Google TV…
Luna, a rising name in the health-tech world, has just pulled the curtain back on the Luna Band. This isn’t your typical fitness tracker designed to bury you under a mountain of charts and spreadsheets. Instead, it’s a wearable built for the moment, offering real-time, voice-led coaching that tells you what to do now rather than just showing you what you did yesterday. The device made its first appearance just before CES 2026 and is currently being demoed for the crowds in Las Vegas following its debut at Pepcom. Most wearables on the market today are great at collecting stats…
JBL is looking to change the way we think about “open-ear” listening with the launch of two new models: the JBL Sense Pro and JBL Sense Lite. These aren’t your typical earbuds that plug your ears; instead, they use clever air-conduction technology to beam music into your ears while leaving you fully aware of the world around you. It’s a major refresh for JBL, focusing on making open-ear audio actually sound good enough for daily use. The big promise with the Sense Pro and Sense Lite is that you no longer have to choose between hearing your surroundings and hearing…
A few weeks ago, Alexa.com quietly went live for some users, giving them early access to Amazon’s next-generation Alexa+ assistant through a web browser. Now, Amazon has made it official through a formal announcement at CES 2026. Alexa+ was first announced in February 2025, but it was limited to Amazon hardware, such as Echo speakers, Fire devices, or mobile apps. By giving it a home on the web, Amazon is clearly positioning Alexa+ as a competitor to chat-based assistants like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. What you can do with Alexa+ on the web On Alexa.com, users will be able to…
Boston Dynamics is a pioneer in the humanoid robot sector, with Atlas first appearing in 2013 before going on to become the advanced bipedal bot that it is today. Since then, thanks to advances in robotics hardware and AI, a slew of tech companies big and small have entered the fray, working at speed to try to become the first to build something deployable at scale for tasks in industrial settings, or even in the home. Boston Dynamics is still very much in the race, and at CES 2026 on Monday the Massachussetts-based company shared a couple of major plans…
A new audio startup is officially pushing back against the idea that personal and shared listening have to be two different things. The company, called TDM (short for “Tomorrow Doesn’t Matter”), just unveiled a world-first at CES 2026: a pair of headphones that can physically transform into a portable Bluetooth speaker. They’ve named it the Neo Hybrid, and it’s a pretty radical rethink of how we carry our music. The Neo Hybrid isn’t just a pair of headphones with a loud setting It features a clever, modular design that relies on a simple twist of the earcups to switch modes.…
About a year ago, Dell announced a massive renaming for its consumer PC portfolio. It was pretty confusing, to be fair, but what came as the biggest surprise was that Dell killed the iconic XPS line. Well, at CES 2026, the torchbearer of cutting-edge design at Dell is back, and it looks different, too. A stunning return The new XPS machines, which come in 14-inch and 16-inch flavors, are the thinnest and lightest machines Dell has made to date. The wedge looks are gone, and it has been replaced by a monolithic design with sharp lines and rounded edges. Notably,…
