That’s as a result of CES 2026 is in full swing, with all method of corporations descending on Las Vegas to disclose their newest improvements and what they’re planning to deliver your approach within the close to future.

Many of the Engadget crew are on the bottom to take a look at as a lot of the brand new tech as doable. Of course, we’re conserving tabs on all the main CES press conferences too. Samsung held its First Look presentation, which focuses on house merchandise, whereas LG has proven off a wide selection of TVs and Lego unveiled its new Smart Brick expertise. We’ve heard from the most important chipmakers, gone hands-on with Samsung’s trifold telephone, checked out some funky laptops and seen some cute robots. There’s some scorching gaming gear on the present too, to not point out some bizarre tech.

You don’t essentially have to attend to get your fingers on all of those devices both. Some are in the stores proper now.

You can compensate for all the large CES 2026 bulletins (and a few of the extra offbeat gizmos we’ve seen) proper right here. We’ll be conserving this story up to date all through the week. We even have CES reside updates, with all the most recent information from the occasion.

Lego

In its first CES look, Lego introduced the Smart Brick, a standard-sized brick with a 4.1mm ASIC chip inside that’s designed to reply in several methods relying on what set you’re constructing and the way you’re constructing it. Using what Lego calls the “Play Engine” and built-in copper coils, every brick can sense issues like movement, orientation and magnetic fields, plus its personal distance, path and orientation in relation to different Smart Bricks. Each brick additionally has a teeny tiny speaker in-built that may play audio “tied to live play actions” slightly than solely pre-recorded clips.

Accompanying Smart Bricks are Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures, which have their very own capabilities — one in every of which is letting Smart Bricks know what context they’re being utilized in. All of those items tie collectively through a neighborhood wi-fi layer dubbed BrickWeb that, partly, lets Smart Bricks know the place they’re positioned in relation to different good parts.

The first “Smart Play” companion is, unsurprisingly, Star Wars, which can launch three “all-in-one” units utilizing Smart Bricks, Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures. The 473-piece Darth Vader TIE Fighter set will price $70; the 584-piece Luke’s Red Five X-Wing set is available in at $100 and the 962-piece Throne Room Duel & A-wing set will set you again $160. The audio system in these units can emit lightsaber swooshes, fighter sounds and The Imperial March.

Engadget deputy editor Nathan Ingraham received to take a look at Lego’s Smart Play system in particular person and I’ve by no means been extra envious of him. One of the Star Wars units means that you can have an interactive lightsaber duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Not solely does the Vader minifigure have his signature heavy respiratory sound, the speaker emits the Sith Lord’s “nooooo” yell if he loses the duel.

All of this appears extraordinarily cool. I’m trying ahead to seeing what else Lego and followers can do with the Smart Play tech.

LG

Along with some TVs (which we’ll get to momentarily), LG introduced loads of different merchandise to CES. For one factor, the corporate shone the highlight on its CLOiD robotic. Like the far creepier-looking 1X Neo, the CLOiD is designed to assist with family duties similar to beginning laundry cycles, folding garments, unloading the dishwasher and serving meals.

The firm says they provide improved efficiency — 60 p.c greater than the previous-gen Lunar Lake processors — and battery life enhancements for laptops.

The Ultra Series 3 features a new Arc B390 built-in GPU, with 50 p.c extra graphics cores, double the cache and 120 GPU TOPS of efficiency.

Of course, AMD wasn’t going to be not noted of the CES celebration. The firm introduced a number of CPUs for laptops and desktops, whereas chillingly declaring that “AI is everywhere” and “changing the face of gaming.” Ick.

And then there’s Qualcomm. The firm revealed the Snapdragon X2 Plus chip on the present. It’s extra of a mid-range chip that isn’t fairly as highly effective as the upper finish Snapdragon X2 Elite — it doesn’t have as many CPU cores, for one factor.
