The Gadgets Are Back: The Best Of CES 2026!
MrMobile (Michael Fischer) tours CES 2026 highlighting the Motorola Razr Fold, Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold, Lenovo rollable laptop, and Pebble’s smartwatch revival as the show’s standout hardware.
- Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is already in MrMobile’s hands; he questions whether Peak Foldable may have already passed with the Galaxy Fold 7.
- Motorola Razr Fold will be the only non-Samsung book-style foldable available in North America when it ships summer 2026, price TBD.
- Lenovo ThinkPad Rollable XD extends a 13.3-inch display to 16 inches via flexible OLED and a transparent gear-and-cable mechanism visible through a clear panel.
- Pebble Round 2 revived: 10–30 day battery life, lightweight OS, survived 10 years post-shutdown via community ecosystem; MrMobile pre-ordered one.
- Subtle VoiceBuds demo showed complete background-noise elimination in a loud CES floor environment using proprietary software on otherwise off-the-shelf hardware.
- LEGO Smart Play bricks took 8 years to develop; sensors detect motion, orientation, color, and position relative to other bricks with context-dependent audio reactions.
- John Deere’s autonomous X9 Combine and automated asphalt paver use AI, GPS, and cameras to operate fields and build roads with minimal human input.
- Honor’s robot phone features a gimballed camera that deploys and retracts into a fully enclosed bay, hardware MrMobile says no other OEM is pursuing.
