CES 2026: From transparent TVs to home-cleaning robots, find out what will be special at this technology extravaganza..
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held annually in Las Vegas, USA, sets the direction for the tech world. This year, the show is going to be even bigger. The world's leading tech companies will gather in Las Vegas to showcase their new products and technologies for the coming year. CES 2026 officially begins on Tuesday, January 6th, but press conferences and major announcements have already started on Sunday.
This grand event of technology will showcase everything from advanced robotics to futuristic gadgets. This year, AI, robots, laptops, smart home devices, TVs, wearables, and some very unique smartphones will be the focus of attention. Let's find out what's special about CES 2026.
Laptops
Laptops always take center stage at CES, and 2026 will be no different. Almost all major companies, except Apple, will be showcasing their new models. This year, three new processors will be particularly noteworthy: Intel (Panther Lake), Qualcomm (Snapdragon X2), and AMD (Gorgon Point). These chips are claimed to take laptop battery life and graphics to a whole new level. Also, rollable screens and dual-screen laptops will be a major attraction.
Smart Home and Robots
The smart home section at CES 2026 will be dominated by robots. From vacuum cleaners, pool cleaners, and lawnmowers to humanoid robots that perform household chores, everything will be on display. The concept of robotic assistants will no longer be science fiction. There will also be smart locks that unlock doors by recognizing your palm or face. Security cameras will also get an AI upgrade, not only recording video but also understanding and identifying threats.
Gaming
For gamers, CES 2026 is expected to be relatively quiet. Nvidia's new RTX 50 Super GPUs might be delayed, and expectations for new gaming GPUs from AMD are also low. However, Lenovo's rollable gaming laptop and a SteamOS version of the Legion Go 2 could be highlights. This year, the focus might shift from gaming to extended reality (XR) wearable glasses.
TVs
CES 2026 could be crucial for TV technology. Samsung and LG have already announced Micro RGB LED TVs. Besides these, TCL and Hisense might also introduce new RGB LED models. However, it will be interesting to see how much these new technologies will cost. Last year, RGB LED TVs larger than 100 inches were priced between $20,000 and $30,000. Hopefully, improvements in technology and increased competition will bring prices down this time. Additionally, Samsung and LG might showcase transparent and rollable TV screens that become transparent like glass when turned off.
Smartphones
CES isn't typically known for mainstream smartphones, but it often features unusual and innovative concept phones. This year, the Samsung Galaxy Z Trifold is generating the most buzz. This phone, which folds in two places, could offer a 10-inch tablet-like experience. If it makes its global debut at CES, it would be considered a major step forward in the world of foldable phones.
Wearables and Health Tech
Fitness bands are becoming a thing of the past. This year, smart glasses will likely dominate. These glasses will not only take photos but also present information right before your eyes with the help of AI. Furthermore, there will be health technologies that can analyze bodily fluids to determine how you can live a longer and healthier life. Experimental devices that track hormonal and metabolic health might also be showcased at the event.
Overall, CES 2026 will offer a glimpse into the technology of the coming year, where AI, robots, and new form factors will shape the future.
