Tom's Guide has been on the ground in Vegas for the first day of the event and we've rounded up our 10 favorite products. These examples of upcoming tech are worth a look for enthusiasts or anyone curious about wallpaper TVs, wild lighting, or even having a robot at home, all from the likes of Samsung, LG, and more.

Here are our picks of the best new products at CES 26 on day one, with more to come in our ongoing CES 2026 live blog.

LG Wallpaper TV

LG is no stranger to TVs, but this one is particularly incredible. It’s a panel so thin that you literally can’t see it from the side, with no physical inputs.

It’s a glimpse at the future, but it’s more practical than previous models, too. It’s an improved panel from the prior version, using a handy breakout box to wirelessly beam your set-top box or game console, and it’s slated to launch at a price comparable to LG’s more standard OLED models.

The usual caveats about input lag will no doubt apply, but if LG can minimize that potential downside, it could be a great showpiece for your home.

Dreame X60 Range

Dreame already has a great range of robot vacuum products, but the new X60 Series will kick things up a notch.

This is the new flagship robot vacuum from the company and boasts 35,000 pa of suction and an AI-enhanced "Omnisight" system. Which, we hope, means it'll be even better at navigating past obstacles in your home.

Elsewhere, the clever Cyber X vacuum (pictured above) has a base station with four legs that means it'll be able to clamber up stairs like some kind of robot pet to continue its cleaning. It's also got a carry-on water tank, so it doesn’t need to keep revisiting its base station to fill up. Which will probably help prolong the battery life too.

Paper Android tablet

Global Editor in Chief Mark Spoonauer said that the world’s thinnest tablet, from China-based Haining Toall Technology, doesn’t feel real — and he’s not wrong. It’s called ‘Paper’, and it really does earn that name.

It’s somehow a whole 2mm thinner than the iPad Pro M5, measuring at just 3.1mm, but still sporting a 13-inch AMOLED display, two USB-C ports, and a mini-HDMI. It’ll start at $1,500, though, and come in 256GB and 512GB versions with specs to be revealed at a later date.

It’ll run Android, but the battery life is just three hours, so it might be more of a gimmick than something you’d use day-to-day, at least for now.

Govee Ceiling Light Ultra

Govee is going big on AI with its new lineup of Ultra lighting for your ceiling, with the company letting users sync their lighting to sun cycles.

You’ll also be able to use more natural language to shift the lighting, which will use a LuminBlend+ technology to allow for no fewer than 281 trillion color options and a wide color temperature range that runs from 1000K to 10,000K.

Not only can the ceiling option produce slick patterns when you look up, but there’s a new Floor Lamp 3 model that takes advantage of these new features, too.

SwitchBot AI MindClip

The AI wearable trend is continuing with smart home company SwitchBot revealing the AI MindClip wearable that will help you keep track of your conversations.

It’ll record your spoken conversations, summarise work calls, or save personal audio to a database, and supports more than 100 languages. It’s intended to work as a “second brain”, but many of its features will be tied to a cloud service which is, as yet, unannounced.

If that ends up being reasonably priced and easy to access, we can definitely see the potential here.

Samsung S95H OLED

Samsung was at CES to show off its new range of screens that run from 55-inch to 95-inch models. The lineup included the Samsung S95H, the brand's newest flagship OLED and the successor to the Samsung S95F, one of the best OLED TVs we reviewed in 2025.

Meanwhile, the all-new Samsung S90H replaces the Samsung S90D at the mid-range level. Unlike last year's S90D, the S90H features Samsung's glare-free display, so you don't need to spring for Samsung's flagship for glare-free display on a mid-range OLED TV.

Elsewhere, Samsung’s QLED models will now go to a 115-inch screen size, which at some point must be close to being cinema-sized.

Finally, the company's latest Micro RGB TV will arrive in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85- and 100-inch screen sizes. They won't be cheap, but anyone looking to upgrade to this cutting-edge TV tech will have several size options to choose from in 2026.

Xreal 1S smart glasses

Our Computing Editor Jason England found a lot to like with these nifty AR glasses, saying they’re ideal for gamers on the go.

They’re $50 cheaper than the previous model, with improved build quality and a new Real 3D feature that makes 2D content feel three-dimensional via a sort of upscaling technique that truly does work better than you’d expect.

Hook ‘em up to your Nintendo Switch 2, and you can be playing on a massive virtual screen wherever you go.

LG CLOiD robot

Fancy a robot to help out at home? LG’s CLOiD could be your new best friend. It’s a head unit and torso with two arms and a wheeled base that you can ask to tackle chores around the house.

The base is devised from LG’s robot vacuums, so it’s ideal for avoiding collisions, and each arm has independently actuated fingers. That allows the CLOiD to fold laundry, operate in a kitchen, and more.

Will it get around the inherent sci-fi spookiness of having a robot in the home? We’ll see, but it’s impressive nonetheless.

Glyde Smart Hair Clippers

A new set of clippers from Glyde will let you trim your hair and even give you a skin fade if you want it to.

It works through a bizarre-looking headband, and will definitely require some trust on the part of the user — would you want AI to wield a blade close to your head? It’s hard to see it taking off, but if you’re super against visiting the barber for some reason, we’d imagine this is the next best thing.

Fraimic Smart E Ink Canvas

This innovative piece of tech from Fraimic lets you instantly change up the art on your wall just by speaking to it. The on-board AI will listen to your description of what you want to see and render the image on its state-of-the-art E Ink Spectra display.

Because it's E Ink, you get accurate color and natural tones without any glare or backlighting — as if you were looking at an actual picture. It boasts a multi-year battery life and comes with a black wood frame. The large canvas (24x36”x1" frame) comes in at $999 while the standard (14x18x1” frame) canvas is priced at $399. Both are due to ship in the spring.
