Unveiling Innovation: The Top 10 Must-See Chinese Gadgets at CES 2025

If you’re seeking a sneak peek at the most impressive tech set to debut in the coming two years, look no further than CES. The largest electronics expo in the world has just concluded in Las Vegas, and this 2025 installment showcased over 1,300 Chinese enterprises — accounting for more than a quarter of all exhibitors. To keep you in the loop with the latest trends, we have curated 10 of the most captivating Chinese innovations from the exhibition floor.

Roborock Saros Z70: a robotic vacuum that can collect socks and sandals

Robotic vacuums are generally efficient only when there’s a reasonably clear space on the floor, but what if they also assist in picking up items? Roborock’s solution is the newly launched Saros Z70, an unusual mop-vacuum hybrid equipped with a foldable, 5-axis mechanical arm.

Utilizing advanced AI capabilities, the robot can recognize barriers, carefully lift them (as long as their weight is under 300g), and set them aside or deliver them to specific areas. Currently, it can handle items like socks, sandals, crumpled tissues (yuck!) and towels, with plans to include more objects in the database over time.

The Saros Z70 boasts a formidable suction strength of 22,000 Pa — approximately double that of the majority of flagship models from 2024. The corresponding base station manages the robot’s dust container and water reservoir, and most critically, it cleans and dries the mop, ensuring maintenance without hassle.

Anticipate this product’s release sometime in the early half of 2025. Speculation suggests it will be priced at over $2,000.

SwitchBot K20+ Pro: a multifunctional home robot

Despite many years of anticipation, service robots have not yet become mainstream, but the inventive team at SwitchBot is attempting to make strides in this field with a novel concept. The K20+ Pro consists of two components: a compact robot vacuum at the base, along with a wheeled “FusionPlatform” that is activated when called upon.

The FusionPlatform provides a variety of ports, mounts, and contact points for connecting with your preferred device. Currently compatible gadgets include a fan, an air purifier, a tablet holder, a webcam, a mini fridge, and potentially, a humanoid robot. Even a basic basket would suffice for room-to-room deliveries (up to 8 kg weight). SwitchBot encourages DIY enthusiasts to create their custom 3D-printed components for this adaptable design.

No details on pricing or availability have been announced thus far, but once the K20+ Pro is released later this year, it is expected to be significantly more economical than other current service robots.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 ‘rollable’ laptop

What is a “rollable” laptop, you inquire? Picture this: your laptop screen remarkably extending upward thanks to a flexible OLED panel that unfurls from the hinge. After extensive development, Lenovo is finally set to launch the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 as the first-ever laptop featuring such a design, allowing you to toggle between its original 14-inch configuration and an extended 16.7-inch mode — the latter affording double the viewing area. This enables you to abolish the need for an external monitor, providing you’re okay with drawing a lot of attention with your uniquely designed laptop.

There are two methods to activate the screen expansion:

there’s a specific key on the keyboard, or you can stretch your arm out and execute a swipe motion upwards or downwards (now you’re really showcasing your skills). Just keep in mind to retract the display before shutting the lid. Lenovo asserts this innovative screen can endure at least 20,000 rolls, and it can also endure up to 30,000 folds — this occurs each time the lid is closed, as the rolling mechanism is integrated into the body.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is set for release in June 2025, but it demands a jaw-dropping $3,499. That’s quite the gamble for a design that hasn’t yet been validated in the marketplace, and considering the fact that efforts in creating rollable smartphones have barely progressed beyond the prototype phase in recent times.

XPENG AEROHT’s ‘Land Aircraft Carrier’

With China advancing its “low-altitude economy” initiative, manufacturers of flying cars from China have been making their presence known at events such as CES and Beyond Expo over the last couple of years. XPENG AEROHT is one such firm, returning to this year’s CES to unveil its Land Aircraft Carrier. Essentially, it is a six-wheeled electric minivan that houses a compact, six-rotor, two-seat eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft within its trunk. The eVTOL achieved its inaugural public manned flight at the Auto Guangzhou exposition in November 2024.

The aircraft requires approximately 5 minutes to detach from its “mothership,” while its six rotors automatically extend in the process. A complete charge is anticipated to provide a flight duration of about 15 minutes, and with the mothership’s fully fueled tank (for its range extender) plus a full battery, you can recharge the aircraft up to 6 times (transitioning from 30% to 80% takes 18 minutes, thanks to its 800V electrical architecture). When finished, it takes another 5 minutes to automatically stow the aircraft back into the trunk.

The vehicle boasts a combined range exceeding 1000km according to CLTC evaluations (this should convert to around 820km by the more globally recognized WLTP standard), making it suitable for road trips to remote regions.

Even with the steep price tag of approximately RMB 2 million ($273,000), XPENG AEROHT asserts it has garnered 3,000 “intent orders” for this dual-purpose vehicle, with deliveries commencing in 2026. Of course, a pilot license will be necessary to navigate this aircraft.

Anker Solix Solar Umbrella

It’s now January, so it’s about time we start organizing our summer plans (unless you reside in the Southern Hemisphere, of course), and battery behemoth Anker is already proactively preparing for us. The Solix Solar Umbrella resembles any typical beach or patio umbrella, except it features advanced perovskite solar cells on top, which are sufficiently efficient to generate up to 100W via the umbrella’s XT-60 connector and USB-C cable. Just envision enjoying a sunny beach day with this practical device powering your electric cooler or charging your various gadgets.

Additional specifications for the Solix Solar Umbrella include a height of 215cm and a diameter of 190cm. Anker has not yet disclosed a price, but it is thankfully aiming for a summer 2025 launch.

Unitree B2-W robot dog

Robot canines continue to amaze as they become more nimble with each passing year. In the case of Unitree, its engineering team had the courage to incorporate wheels into their already agile B2 quadruped robot, naming it B2-W. Alongside its consumer-grade Go2 quadruped and uncanny G1 humanoid adaptations, the B2-W made an instant impression on the CES exhibition floor, but you should definitely check out the official demonstration videos to fully grasp its capabilities. Observe as it executes acrobatics on four legs or even two, descends cliffs, and maneuvers over ramps with a human rider onboard.

The B2-W attains a peak velocity of 20 km/h, with a maximum range of 50 km when hauling a 40 kg weight. The entire device weighs approximately 75 kg (including the battery). Unitree has not revealed the cost for either the B2 or B2-W, but hearsay suggests the former is retailing for about RMB 400,000 (around $55,000) in China.

GlocalMe GPet tracker

Although Apple’s AirTag has gained popularity for tracking pets, it is only effective when surrounded by several other AirTags and recent Apple gadgets. In simpler terms, if your dog ventures into the forest, its AirTag won’t be particularly useful. This is where the GlocalMe GPet shines.

This clever little gadget harnesses the company’s proficiency in cloud SIM technology (which does not require a physical SIM card; unlike eSIM, it isn’t linked to a single virtual card), allowing for cellular radio for both triangulation and data connectivity. Moreover, the device incorporates standard GPS radio for accurate tracking. If it encounters difficulties connecting to satellite signals, it can still utilize Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to gauge its approximate location.

The GPet has straightforward “AI Wellness” and “Pet Interaction” functionalities, but theoretically, it can also be utilized to monitor your children and possessions. Keep an eye out for pricing and availability later this year, as GPet’s service will probably necessitate a subscription.

Shokz OpenFit 2 earphones

There’s a strong possibility that one of your new year’s goals is to exercise more. If that’s the situation, you might want to look into the new Shokz OpenFit 2 true wireless earphones. Shokz is well-regarded for its open-ear designs focused on safety and cleanliness, making its ear pieces ideal for exercising.

It wasn’t until mid-2023 that the company finally released its inaugural true wireless earbuds, the OpenFit. These were the first to depart from the company’s signature bone-conduction technology, opting for the superior-sounding conventional drivers.

Fast forward to today, the new OpenFit 2 addressed all the shortcomings of the initial version, delivering enhancements in ergonomics, audio quality, and battery longevity. You can acquire a pair for $180 in the US.

Bebird EarSight Flow ear cleaner

With the rise of wireless earbuds recently, earwax accumulation has become more common. Introducing the Bebird EarSight Flow, which, at first glance, may appear to be a standard pair of over-ear headphones. In reality, it’s an ear cleaner that provides a video livestream of your ear canal throughout the cleaning process. You will definitely want to observe that.

One facet of the EarSight Flow stores and intelligently warms water, which is then directed to a nozzle within the other canister to gently infuse the warm water into your ear canal. Using the app, you can modify the optical lens on a spherical axis to achieve the perfect view of the action — allowing you to see debris being eliminated in real-time. Toward the conclusion, the nozzle transitions to drying mode. Afterward, you turn the headset and repeat the entire process for the opposite ear.

The Bebird EarSight Flow retails for $199, which is likely a worthwhile expenditure in the long run.

XREAL One Pro AR glasses

XREAL has just established a new standard for AR glasses, due to an optical advancement that further slimmed down its eyewear. The One Pro is the first in the industry to transition from triangular “birdbath” lenses to flat prism lenses for its micro OLED displays, significantly minimizing thickness and enhancing the device’s subtlety. The One Pro has also received a FOV (field of view) enhancement of up to 57 degrees, resulting in a 63.6% larger display area than its predecessor. You can enjoy a 171-inch virtual screen exclusively, making it suitable for both work and recreation.

Thanks to the updated optics and the new “Sound by Bose” partnership, the XREAL One Pro becomes an excellent entertainment device when connected to your iPhone, Android smartphone, computer, or gaming console — inclusive of the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 5. The effective X1 spatial computing co-processor guarantees “an incredibly low motion-to-photon (M2P) latency of merely ~3ms at 120Hz,” implying it reacts almost instantly when you adjust your head. In comparison, the pricey Apple Vision Pro only achieves a slower 12ms M2P.

You can now pre-order the XREAL One Pro for $599, with initial shipments anticipated in March 2025.
