To counter last month’s announcement of more manageable Micro RGB sizes for 2026, Samsung went the other direction at CES. The 130-inch monster dominated First Look as soon as I entered. It’s likely just a statement piece, but if not, start checking your cushions for loose $100 bills.

The Glyde smart hair clipper has an AI hair-cutting coach and automatic fade trimming so you can be your own barber, and you only have to wear this extremely normal looking face band for it to work.

This is an ultrasonic knife. Seattle Ultrasonics’ C-200 uses piezoelectric ceramic crystals to vibrate over 30,000 times a second, helping it cut as if it’s sharper than it really is. I was skeptical, but I sliced through a tomato with almost no resistance at all — it felt like the knife was falling through.

I only got to see (and not touch) a prototype, and the fold-out gimbal camera wasn’t operational. So it’s strictly TBC what the Robot Phone will actually do, but Honor did tell me this is no concept: after the full launch at MWC next month it will go on sale — but only in China.

Today in “cursed AI things we saw at CES 2026,” a Korean company called Welt has “AI Converged Pharmaceuticals” — sleeping pills with their own AI agent to recommend the “optimal time for your next pill.” The app claims it requires a doctor’s prescription, but they’re handing ‘em out like candy here!

Eric Migicovsky, that is, the guy who founded Pebble and is currently rebooting his early smartwatches with even longer battery life. (Weeks, not days.) This one’s staying on Eric’s wrist, unfortunately, but I stabbed the buttons while it was there! I can confirm they do, indeed, click.

The short teaser video shared through the company’s official X account is light on details, but the folding FlipPad will connect to iOS and Android smartphones through their USB-C port. There’s no analog thumbsticks, but it’s got a D-pad and a total of 12 face buttons. It’s expected to launch in the summer this year.

The DIY blinds cost a flat $429 for any size up to 48 inches wide and 80 inches tall and are available in white or walnut. They join the company’s lower-cost smart shades and feature Natural Light Optimization that automatically tilts blinds throughout the day based on the sun’s position.

In early 2026, the company’s handheld and earbud translators, including the W4, W4 Pro, and T1, will be getting a software upgrade introducing a new “SOTA Translation Engine Selector” that automatically chooses the optimal AI engine based on what two languages are being spoken. The upgrade should result in translations that sound more natural.

Yukai Engineering has doubled the size of its drink-cooling Nékojita FuFu fan to create a version designed to safely cool kids. It’s expected to launch in mid-2026 for $50 to $60 and features a “slit plate” inside Baby FuFu’s mouth to prevent anything from making contact with its fan blades, including li’l fingies.

Unsurprisingly, considering President Trump’s tendency to post AI slop, the New York Times wasn’t exactly keen on publishing his supposed photo of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on board the USS Iwo Jima without question. Ultimately, the paper couldn’t verify the image’s authenticity but decided to publish it in the context of his Truth Social post. The Times’ Director of Photography Meaghan Looram detailed their skepticism:
