Introducing OnePlus’ latest flagship Android smartphone. The company has also introduced the OnePlus 13R, which is a more budget-friendly (and slightly less featured) variant, set to launch on January 14 (it is available for preorder now). Neither of the models features groundbreaking advancements, but OnePlus has certainly included AI functionalities—including an AI Editor in the Photos application, along with a collection of tools that can both summarize and read pages aloud. Additionally, you will receive four Android OS upgrades and six years of security updates. Sadly, there is no Qi2 compatibility, and wireless charging is limited to the OnePlus 13. A comprehensive review for both gadgets will be available later this week.

We are avid supporters of iFixit’s Pro Tech toolkit, which is equipped with a 64-bit driver kit along with openers, tweezers, and prying tools. However, it can be somewhat cumbersome and may take up considerable space in your bag. To remedy this, the company has launched the Pro Tech Go toolkit. Following customer feedback, the company added only the most utilized tools to create a more portable kit. You’ll find a 32-bit driver kit with two tweezers, two spudgers, and a few opening tools. It’s also more economical. iFixit has updated its FixHub Power Series Portable Soldering Station ($250), their inaugural soldering iron featuring USB-C, a web interface for controls, and a design that is fully repairable. It is up for preorder and will be shipped in April.

Asus unveiled the ROG Phone 9 series in November, and it is presently available for purchase. Both the ROG Phone 9 and Phone 9 Pro come equipped with a 6.78-inch, 2K AMOLED display (165-Hz LTPO), a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a 50-megapixel rear camera, and support for wireless charging. However, the Pro also features 24 GB of RAM (instead of 16 GB) and 1 TB of storage, in addition to including the AeroActive Cooler X Pro in the package (which is a fan that attaches to the back of the device to cool the CPU). More details about both smartphones can be found here. The ROG Phone 9 is also available for $900 ($100 discount).

Whether you binge-watched Yellowstone during the holiday season or have been influenced by Bella Hadid’s equestrian style, the new Western Noir Collection by Otterbox is ideal for those who wish to channel their inner Horse Girl. You can choose from four designs, including Buckaroo, Bronco, Holstein, and Midnight Ride compatible with iPhone 13 through iPhone 16.

For owners of an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and AirPods, we highly recommend considering a 3-in-1 wireless charger. This model from Nimble features an adjustable hinge that allows for charging your devices either upright or in Standby mode, as well as a module for your Apple Watch. When not in use, it collapses into a compact rectangular shape that is easy to carry. It includes a 1.5-mm USB-C to USB-C cable and supports the Qi2 wireless charging standard.

Open earbuds are increasingly gaining popularity, making it anticipated that we would observe new options emerging at CES. Introducing: Soundcore’s AeroClip earbuds. The newest version is not only more elegant and flexible than previous models (like the C30i), but they are also pricier. The AeroClips feature a curved design, a portable case, and a comfortable fit due to a slender titanium wire encased in a matte finish. They provide clear audio, and the touch controls are quite responsive based on our observations. They are available for preorder and are set to ship on March 13.

We weren’t particularly impressed with the earlier Shokz OpenFit (5/10, WIRED Review): The fit was not secure, and the buttons lacked reliability. The second-generation

This version seems to address both concerns with a flexible ear hook for a stable fit and a built-in alloy that conforms to the shape of your ear. Additionally, it features physical buttons for enhanced precision in control. It remains uncertain whether these enhancements surpass those of its predecessor.

The Swippit Hub is a gadget crafted to recharge your mobile device rapidly. Resembling a toaster, it houses 3,500-mAh batteries that maintain their charge. When your device’s battery is low, simply place it in the hub for a few seconds and retrieve it once the indicator turns green. Voilà! Your device is fully charged. However, there is one requirement: you must utilize the Swippit Link phone case (which will be available for the iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 at launch; cases for Samsung Galaxy S23 and S24 will come afterward) in conjunction with it. Designed as a comprehensive family solution, you can also use the accompanying app to monitor the status of both the Hub batteries and those in the Link cases. It is open for preorder, and the company is offering a CES discount ($100 off) until January 17.

If you haven’t noticed, smart spectacles are quite fashionable at the moment. A startup named Halliday has designed its own lenses in an effort to attract those who are hesitant to embrace the trend. Upon wearing them, a digital display projects onto your eyes that appears as a small box in the upper-right corner of your field of vision. The screen presents text messages, media controls, and navigation directions. You can also request the integrated AI system to summarize information for you, as well as rely on your daily routine to learn your behaviors before you act (with your consent). Additionally, there’s a smart ring that manages features on the glasses, eliminating the necessity for gesture controls. You can reserve them now with a $10 deposit and finalize your order by the end of this month, with shipping scheduled for late March.

Chamelo’s (previously Ampere) latest electrochromic lenses incorporate the capability to transition from dark to light via a manual slide, as well as an automatic tint mode that adjusts based on surrounding light (including within your vehicle, which is a challenging task since windows obstruct the UV rays that activate traditional photochromic lenses to darken). The company plans to offer several different styles later this week, but the Shield sunglasses are currently up for grabs (they’re $50 off at present). They will begin shipping on January 10.

The Reolink Duo 3 WiFi security camera is equipped with dual lenses containing two 4K cameras that merge to provide a complete 180-degree perspective. You can zoom in for a clearer depiction of a person’s face or to discern a license plate number. It also accommodates dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4-GHz and 5-GHz), assuring a more secure and dependable connection. There’s a Motion Track feature that condenses 15 seconds of recorded footage into a single time-lapsed image, so you don’t have to sift through the recordings.

Lutron’s smart shades are now somewhat more budget-friendly. The company unveiled its Caseta Smart Shades starting at $399, intended for shades measuring up to 48 inches wide and 80 inches high (with larger options available at increased prices). However, there are some limitations. The shades will last two years due to the usage of fewer D batteries (whereas the premium version can endure for four to five), and there’s no plug-in alternative. There are also limited options regarding the type of shade you desire, but you can choose between Roller or Honeycomb, in white or gray, and select between light filtering or blackout material. They are available for purchase and will ship next month.

Elvie is well-known for its hands-free wearable breast pumps. The company is now venturing into a new product category: bassinets. However, this isn’t your conventional bassinet; it’s connected and equipped with smart technology. Dubbed the Elvie Rise, it functions as both a bouncer and bassinet that can be managed via your smartphone. With the accompanying app, you can start, stop, and modify the bounce and automatically record the duration spent in the bassinet (it can sense when your baby is within). It also tracks your baby’s sleep and offers insights into how their patterns evolve over time. It is open for preorder and will commence shipping in March.

The new Orbi 870 Series is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh system that can span up to 9,000 square feet. The primary router is equipped with a 10-Gbps Ethernet WAN port, while both the router and its satellites are furnished with four 2.5-Gbps Ethernet LAN ports each. We still recommend the more cost-effective 770 Series, which is listed in our best mesh systems. The 870 series is designed for those with multi-gig internet and larger properties.

Sightful’s Spacetop AR laptop initially launched in 2023 and has since undergone several revisions. What began as a combination of glasses, a full-sized keyboard, and a touchpad is now available solely as AR glasses paired with a software subscription. The package includes a pair of customized AR glasses from XREAL that you can connect to your PC (provided it has an Intel Core Ultra 7/9 processor featuring Meteor Lake architecture or newer). After downloading the software, you’ll have access to a 100-inch display to showcase all your apps and windows. Included in your purchase is a USB-C cable, adjustable nose pads, a carrying case, and a cleaning cloth. It will be ready for shipping next month.

Razer’s new Stand Chroma serves a dual purpose as both a monitor stand and a USB hub.

Robot vacuum cleaners perform admirably until they encounter barriers such as stairs or doorways—leading to frustrating sensor alerts. However, the Dreame X50 avoids this problem, featuring retractable legs that can navigate over obstacles up to 6 centimeters tall. Its key highlights include a detangling dual brush (ideal for capturing hair), 20,000 Pascal of suction strength, a 360-degree scanning sensor, voice command compatibility, and it can also function as a mop. Preorders are currently being accepted.

We were already impressed with Panasonic’s Technics EAH-AZ80 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) from 2023, so anticipation runs high for the latest EAH-AZ100 model. The fit and design have been refined, making them smaller and lighter (which should enhance comfort for extended use), and they now include a new “medium-large” ear tip. Beyond adaptive noise cancellation, a Voice Focus AI feature has been added for calls, improving noise cancellation based on ambient sounds. Panasonic has also introduced a Magnetic Fluid Driver—a unique technology aimed at producing what Panasonic describes as “clear, high-resolution, low-vibration, and low-distortion audio for a truly authentic and balanced sound experience.”

The Iskur V2 remains our top pick for a gaming chair in our Best Office Chairs guide. However, the Iskur V2 X presents a more budget-friendly alternative. This does mean sacrificing a few features—like the non-adjustable built-in lumbar support and the absence of a PU leather option (only fabric is available). Yet, offered at less than half the cost of the V2, it could be a fantastic choice for those hesitant to spend around $700 on a chair.

HP’s all-in-one desktop is offered in two screen dimensions: 27-inch and 32-inch. The smaller variant allows for a choice between a 1080p or 4K resolution display, whereas the larger model is exclusively available in 4K. You also have the option between touchscreen and non-touchscreen configurations. This device includes a 5-megapixel webcam that can be concealed while not in use, a dual speaker system, and numerous ports. Processor options include pairing it with either an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V processor or an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor (up to 258V).

Alongside the launch of new electric scooters, Segway unveiled two additional electric bicycles: the Xyber and the Xafari.
