Najlepsze z targów CES 2025: zespół The Verge wybiera swoje ulubione nowe technologie

There is no another week like CES. Very nearly the full tech manufacture descends on Las Vegas to give the planet an early look at the inventions and ideas they think will specify the year. More new, surprising, exciting, and oftentimes ridiculous ideas are debuted on any given day at CES than during most another weeks of the year.

It’s a ton to keep up with — and it’s besides a full lot of fun. The Verge’s squad has been on the ground in Nevada to effort out the wildest products we can get our hands on. There’s been a lot of stuff we love. quite a few stuff that weirds us out. And quite a few stuff that’s just downright fun to look at.

But at the end of the day, any of these ideas and gadgets stuck with us the most. They nailed the execution, amazed us with a large fresh concept, or otherwise made us leap to tell individual what we’d just seen. These are the things we can’t halt talking about — our best of CES 2025.

Most years at CES, it’d be a guaranteed lock that either LG or Samsung would have the most awesome tv on display in Las Vegas. And certain enough, both the LG G5 and Samsung’s S95F look like superb offerings for 2025. We’ve truly entered the brightness wars era of the OLED tv market. LG Display and Samsung Display manage to outdo themselves all year with panels that, at this point, are suitable for any viewing environment and make HDR content pop like never before.

But at CES 2025, it’s the Panasonic Z95B OLED that I keep circling back to as my favorite. After a long hiatus from the US tv market, Panasonic is coming back for its crown. Like the G5, it features a fresh four-layer tandem OLED display that boosts brightness to fresh highs — this time without the micro-lens array technology that LG Display spent the last 2 years hyping. It besides includes an awesome Dolby Atmos talker array (tuned by Technics) that will regulation out any request for a soundbar for many buyers. That audio hardware results in this being a thick tv by today’s standards: Panasonic evidently favored nailing the image and sound aspects over a thin design. And you know what? I’m here for it.

And look, I know: it sucks that Panasonic’s TVs run Fire tv OS. I hope that Amazon and Panos Panay take a sledgehammer to this software in the future and give us something more befitting of specified a premium TV. But with Samsung and LG both cramming AI gimmicks down our throats — they’ve added AI buttons to their remotes, even — abruptly just plugging an Apple tv into the Z95B and doing my best to ignore Amazon’s software doesn’t seem so bad. – Chris Welch

Smart glasses dominated the wearables planet at this year’s show. While there were surely more “advanced” smart glasses out there, Rokid’s stood out due to the fact that they answered a simple question: “What would it be like if the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses had a display?”

The micro-etched display on the front of the Rokid Glasses is discreet — almost invisible from the front. There’s no weird protrusion like with the old Google Glass, and it uses a monochrome green light for better visibility in brighter surroundings. It may not be the AR of discipline fiction, but adding a simple heads-up display felt amazingly useful. You can see real-time translations — I’m a immense translation tech skeptic, but even I gotta admit the translation demo worked beautiful well on a noisy, busy show floor. There’s a teleprompter function, which feels useful for keeping notes on hand if your occupation involves quite a few presentations. For taking pictures, you can besides see a mini viewfinder that helps you frame a shot. Compared to the Meta glasses, these were besides much more lightweight.

This wasn’t the only version of monochrome monocular smart glasses on the level — I besides tried pairs from Halliday and Even Realities. But Rokid’s display was the largest and packed in the most functionality. Smart glasses have a long way to go, and of course I only got a brief demo. But what I saw felt like a practical, approachable take that even my non-techie neighbour might find cool. – Victoria Song

Acer’s Nitro Blaze 11 handheld gaming PC has a 10.95-inch screen. It weighs 2.3 pounds. It’s so big. possibly too big. But I kind of want it anyway? – Jay Peters

Sure, we saw Honda’s fresh global EV series in concept form at last year’s CES. And sure, EV sales are, shall we say, not looking so large these days, with very small relief on the horizon. But Honda inactive helped revitalize what was otherwise a sleepy show for car enthusiasts with the introduction of the Honda 0 Saloon and Honda 0 SUV.

You gotta hand it to the company’s designers, they didn’t pull any punches: there’s a dash of Lamborghini Countach, a dusting of Aston Martin’s Lagonda Shooting Brake, and more than a hint of AMC Gremlin. In another words, plenty of ’70s / ’80s vibes to offset the future shock of the minimalistic interior and marketing-speak about “software-defined vehicles.”

Whether Honda sticks with this exact plan for the final production version, I’m not holding my breath. But there’s adequate here that’s weird and different and interesting that any of it is certain to last through client deliveries — if we always get there. – Andrew J. Hawkins

Mirumi has absolutely no intent beyond being a cute fluffy wearable… thing. I’m completely enamored. Give me an army of the small suckers to match all bag.

The fuzzy sloth-like robot companion latches onto your purse or backpack strap and is designed to imitate a shy (but curious) baby. It doesn’t make sound — a blessing for any — but it will hide its face erstwhile touched and decision its head around to look at people or objects it detects. It’ll even shake its head to simulate distress if you jiggle it around.

Mirumi’s creator Yukai Engineering says the robot is expected to re-create the “joyful experiences” you feel erstwhile a real baby glances your way. And given our ga-ga reactions to its googly eyes and stinkingly adorable movements, I’d say it kind of works? There are no fancy (or annoying) AI features at work here, just a solidly simple concept that aims to make you smile. That, in itself, feels like a breath of fresh air now that children’s toys and silly gadgets are starting to feel over-engineered. – Jess Weatherbed

All the 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitors

This is what we’ve been waiting for. Last year saw a wave of big, bright, beautiful 32-inch 240Hz 4K QD-OLED gaming monitors. The Alienware version was our pick of the show last year and 1 of our favorite pieces of tech of 2024 for its lightning-fast refresh, inky blacks, and three-year burn-in warranty. Now you — and by “you” I besides mean “I” — will be able to get the same best-of-all-worlds performance in a somewhat more reasonable size.

Alienware, Asus, MSI, and Samsung have all announced 27-inch gaming monitors built around a fresh QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display. They vary in tiny details, but all should offer excellent colour reproduction, .03ms consequence time, 240Hz refresh rates, HDR400, and up to 1,000 nits of highest brightness. Choose your favourite and start saving up. Alienware’s is expected to start shipping in March for $900. – Nathan Edwards

Nvidia stole the show at CES this year. The company packed 14,000 people into a Las Vegas stadium, all of whom lined up to see Jensen Huang appear in a flashy leather coat and uncover Nvidia’s latest tech over the course of a feature-length one-man show.

Huang took the wraps off Nvidia’s long-awaited RTX 5090 desktop GPU, claiming it would be 2 times faster than its predecessor. He revealed Nvidia’s DLSS 4 upscaling tech capable of generating even more frames utilizing AI. And he announced a tiny $3,000 AI supercomputer called Digits. Later, Huang besides hinted at plans to launch a desktop CPU.

But the biggest flex of all might be that Nvidia is simply everywhere. Its tech powers so many of the devices on the show floor, with its next-gen graphics chips appearing across laptops from MSI, HP, Asus, Alienware, Razer, and more. No another company seems to be as in demand. – Emma Roth

I did a double-take erstwhile Sony Honda Mobility CEO Yasuhide Mizuno threw those numbers up on the large screen. I always assumed the Afeela was going to be expensive, but I didn’t anticipate it to be that expensive.

The top trim starting at $102,900 just feels egregious, especially erstwhile the advanced tiers of the EV marketplace feel completely saturated at the moment. Who is this even for? If you want a luxurious interior and large range, you’re better off with a Lucid Air. If you want an overdose of screens, get a Mercedes EQS. If you want incredible software, your best bet is Rivian. request to feel like a plutocrat? Just get a BMW i7. I’m just saying, there are options! And all of the above are for sale in all 50 states, not just California, like the Afeela.

Could it become a more attractive option in the future? Sure. But if what we’re seeing present is simply a sign of more out-of-touch marketing to come, I’m not truly Afeelin’ it. – Andrew J. Hawkins

The SodaTop is the kind of thing that feels like it should be already, but it doesn’t as far as I can tell. It’s a simple sales pitch: a SodaStream for your Hydro Flask. And I think based on that pitch alone, you’ll know whether it’s for you. I’m a sparkling water addict, so it’s definitely for me. It’s simple enough: fill your bottle with cold water, put the SodaTop on top, and drop in a CO2 canister. You twist on a lid to puncture the seal and carbonate your water. Then you’re good to go.

You might be tempted to ask questions like, “Couldn’t you just make any fizzy water with a SodaStream and pour it into a Hydro Flask?” or “Can’t you just buy a bottle of sparkling water?” or “Is it truly that portable?” To which I say, shhhh. The point here is that it’s a tidy solution and you don’t should be at home to usage it. If I inactive worked in an office, I’d keep 1 of these at my desk for sure. And I’ve already given up quite a few my kitchen counter space to beverage-making devices, so just utilizing this at home would aid me keep that space free. Honestly, it’s just a great, simple solution to the “sparkling water on the go” problem for those of us afflicted with sparkling water addiction. – Allison Johnson

L’Oréal’s Cell BioPrint blew me away. The mini-lab analyzes photos of your skin and a skin example from your cheeks to tell you about your skin’s health. It can tell you about your chronological age versus your biological 1 (aka is your current regular working well?). It can besides measure how you’re doing with issues like wrinkles, skin tone, skin barrier, oiliness, and pore size — or if it’s likely to become a problem in the future. It can besides analyse whether you’re responsive to certain ingredients, starting with retinol.

Skincare buying is simply a minefield. There are thousands of products touting this or that hero ingredient, all promising to fix any insecurity you might have with your complexion. I consider myself beautiful knowledgeable about skincare, and even I have a hard time figuring out what products I actually request in my routine. Something like this could aid folks filter what’s worth trying and what’s just overconsumption. (And according to my results, I should most likely start utilizing retinol.) – Victoria Song

Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 Max car charger

At home, you’ve most likely got charging cables stashed all over the place, but inside your car is simply a different story. Baseus’ PrimeTrip VR2 Max solves that problem — and provides plenty of power to back it up.

The PrimeTrip VR2 Max car charger features 2 retractable USB-C charging cables, each measuring over 31 inches long, that will never go missing from your vehicle. It besides offers an additional USB-C and USB-A port for connecting another cables, a full power output of 240W, and up to 105W of power transportation to a single USB-C port.

Assuming the retracting mechanics is durable adequate to survive, for $44.99, the VR2 Max seems like a solid upgrade, even for a modern vehicle that already has charging ports. If work has you on the road a lot, there’s more than adequate power to keep a beefy laptop charged. – Andrew Liszewski

There are no winners due to the fact that they all stink now.

AI is worming its way into everything, and at CES this year, it crawled into TVs and remotes. Naturally, that includes fresh sets from LG and Samsung, which are deploying AI to futz with your image and sound settings and let you talk to a chatbot or analyze what’s on your screen. Over at Hisense’s “AI Your Life” booth, the company touted its AI Engine X that “optimizes all frame” with adjustments to color, brightness, and audio.

The AI is besides coming from outside the house, as Microsoft’s Copilot is coming to TVs from LG and Samsung. Not only that, but sets moving Google tv are slated to get fresh AI features like Gemini integration, so even my Sony OLED from 3 years ago will get them — or it would, if I didn’t have it disconnected from the internet. – Wes Davis

Windows handhelds are a mess, so the Lenovo Legion Go S, the first authorized third-party handheld with the incredible pick-up-and-play SteamOS, was a Best Handheld candidate for that reason alone. But Lenovo didn’t halt there — its sophomore effort is far more comfortable and affordable as well.

The grips are nicely sculpted, the trigger throw is adjustable, the battery’s somewhat bigger, and it comes with an all-important variable refresh rate (VRR) screen at a more appropriate 1200p resolution for its mobile chip, both of which should mean smoother gameplay. Speaking of chips, any models will have a Lenovo-exclusive AMD Ryzen Z2 Go processor, which, the company claims, helps it hit a lower price.

This May, gamers will have an intriguing choice: SteamOS for $499 or Windows for $599. – Sean Hollister

Next-generation GPUs are yet here for fancy PC gaming rigs, and while AMD barely previewed its own RDNA 4 graphics cards, Nvidia went all out with its RTX 50-series. The flagship RTX 5090 will debut on January 30th priced at $1,999, giving you a two-slot card with 32GB of GDDR7 memory that Nvidia promises can double the frame rates in games like Cyberpunk 2077 compared to the RTX 4090.

But if that’s besides costly for you — because, seriously, just look at that price tag — Nvidia is besides promising major performance leaps lower in the line, saying the fresh $549 RTX 5070 can keep up with an RTX 4090, the erstwhile generation’s $1,599 flagship. quite a few Nvidia’s performance claims trust on DLSS 4 and a fresh Multi Frame Generation feature that uses AI models to aid multiply performance by generating even more frames to smooth out games, and Nvidia inactive has to prove that the RTX 50-series cards can deliver.

Still, I’m super excited about how tiny the RTX 5090 is, especially for tiny form origin PCs. If the RTX 50-series can live up to Nvidia’s promises, then this is going to be an awesome start to the next generation of GPUs. –Tom Warren

The telephone toaster isn’t actually a toaster, but I can’t halt calling it that. It’s part of a strategy called Swippitt — and it’s the wackiest, cleverest charging gadget I’ve seen in a long time. The thought is that you put your telephone in a Swippitt Link battery case, which has a 3,500mAh cell in the back. It boosts your phone’s charge, and erstwhile you request any more power, you insert the phone, case and all, into the Swippitt Hub — which is the toaster bit. In 2 seconds, it swaps the battery in your case for a fresh one, and you go on your way. There are 5 batteries at the ready in the hub, so anytime you request a top-off, you just drop in your phone. No more tethered charging or waiting.

I thought it was annoying until I grasped that last part. You don’t charge your phone, you just usage this gadget to swap in a fresh booster battery, like, forever. No more charging (well, until you travel somewhere). It’s costly as hell, though: $450 for the hub and $120 for each case. So it might make sense if you can get your full household on board with it, or you just really, truly hatred charging your phone. But most of all, it’s a clever gadget that tries something different and doesn’t have quite a few another extra stuff you don’t request (looking at you, AI TVs). That’s the kind of CES gadget I love to see. – Allison Johnson

This robot is ingenious, a bit ridiculous, and 1 of the wildest smart home inventions I’ve seen in a long time — which is what CES gadgets are all about.

Switchbot’s K20 Plus Pro is simply a robot vacuum that can have different devices strapped to its head utilizing the company’s modular “FusionPlatform.” As well as being able to deliver items around your home, it can have various SwitchBot products attached to it to execute tasks autonomously: purify your air, be a mobile home safety camera, and carry your tablet around for you. They’ve even made an attachment to put a mini fridge on top. (So, yes, it can bring you a beer.)

What intrigues me the most here is that its FusionPlatform is completely open; you can plug any device into its various power ports and customize this robot to do what you need. That’s smart. – Jennifer Pattison Tuohy

There weren’t many E Ink devices announced at CES this year, but that doesn’t mean PocketBook’s fresh InkPoster wins by default. It’s 1 of the first consumer devices to usage E Ink’s advanced Spectra 6 colour e-paper technology that can produce close to 60,000 colors. Compared to the limited capabilities of the colour e-paper screens utilized in devices like the Kindle Colorsoft, images and artwork on the InkPoster will look more like they’re painted on an actual canvas or printed on photograph paper.

Companies like Samsung want you to repurpose your surviving area TV as a display for digital art, but the InkPoster could be a better alternate that’s easier on the eyes without a brightly backlit screen. It’s besides completely wireless: it relies on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for uploading artwork and images and a rechargeable battery for power that only needs to be charged about erstwhile a year. If you’re indecisive about what to hang on your walls, the InkPoster won’t make you choose. – Andrew Liszewski

I’m truly happy LG isn’t giving up on its quest to make a useful, quirky portable tv with its StanbyMe series. It’s a ridiculous name no doubt, but the fresh StanbyMe 2 is an update that deserves our entirely legitimate Best Sequel award. alternatively of the “fixed tv on a lamp post” plan of the first model, it now lets you clutch a 27-inch screen under your arm like any super iPad Pro or attach a strap to hold it like a purse. It’s besides technically a sequel to the secret agent-style StanbyMe Go but now lighter and with better battery life.

Although I haven’t carried 1 myself yet, I’d imagine it would be a lot like clutching an Apple Studio Display or classical 27-inch iMac with their stands removed. (I’ve carried many in my line of work.) The StanbyMe 2 would be large as a portable monitor for video games, a laptop, or Mac Mini, especially with the now-more-usable 2560 x 1440 resolution compared to the erstwhile model’s 1080p. I was on the barrier about buying LG’s erstwhile iterations of this product, but I’m ready to strap this 1 on as shortly as I can. – Umar Shakir

It yet happened. Robot vacuums have limbs. Roborock and Dreame both showed off vacuums with appendages at CES 2025: Roborock debuted its Saros Z70 with an arm to choice up socks, and Dreame added legs to its X50 Ultra to climb a tiny step. But it was Dreame’s concept bot that put the pieces together.

The company’s next innovation is simply a robot that features legs and an arm. It besides has a separate toolbox, and the company says the robot will be able to choice various brushes from it and attach them to its arm to get into your dusty corners.

I love the innovation we’re seeing as robot vacuums search to clean all inch of your home, but am I besides somewhat terrified? Yes. Yes, I am. – Jennifer Pattison Tuohy

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6

There was truly only 1 gadget at CES that everyone had to see, and that’s Lenovo’s rollable laptop, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6. Yes, we may have first seen it in concept form a while back, but this is now a real product you’ll be able to see in a store and buy this year. The only thing better than a chaotic proof-of-concept at a show like CES is erstwhile a chaotic future-tech thought becomes our reality in the present.

Now, it’ll cost $3,499 erstwhile it launches in June, so it’s not likely many people will buy it. But image this future: you sit down to do any work, you open up your laptop with a nice-looking OLED display, and then you hit a button to summon more laptop — as the kinda-square-ish 14-inch display climbs higher into a 16.7-inch tall boy of a screen. That’s not something that happens in the real world, but it will erstwhile this laptop comes out.

And of course, the tech has many caveats and drawbacks to go with it: it’s expensive, it’s possibly fragile, there’s bound to be software jank with Windows, and just look at those creases. But it’s besides got the upside of being, well, cool. – Antonio G. Di Benedetto
