The show floor of the biggest tech event of the year hasn\u2019t even opened yet, but CES 2025 has already delivered a long list of new gadgets, tech, concepts, and AI-powered devices tempting you to upgrade. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
It\u2019s a lot to keep up with, so we\u2019ll help you catch up. Below are some of the standout gadgets of the show so far. Of course, there\u2019s still a lot more out there and a lot more to go. You can catch up on all of The Verge\u2019s<\/em> coverage of the show here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photo by Owen Grove \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The ability for most robovacs to thoroughly clean a floor can be stymied by random objects left lying on the ground. Roborock\u2019s new Saros Z70\u2019s solution to that problem<\/a> is an articulated five-axis robot arm called the OmniGrip that can pick up after its owners and move obstacles out of its way. It\u2019s limited to smaller items like socks, tissues, or anything weighing less than 300 grams, but the company plans to eventually expand what it can grasp. Pricing isn\u2019t known, but Roborock says the Saros Z70 will be available by June 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photo by Chris Welch \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Samsung\u2019s The Frame TV appealed to many consumers with an aesthetically pleasing design and the ability to camouflage itself as a piece of art in a home\u2019s decor. The Frame Pro further expands the TV\u2019s appeal<\/a> to more discerning TV viewers with a variation on Mini LED display technology, the matte finish introduced in 2022<\/a>, and a wireless connection to its breakout box so all you need to hide is a power cord.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With the success of the Meta Ray-Bans<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise that several companies are debuting smart glasses at CES 2025. Halliday\u2019s new enhanced specs<\/a>, which are expected to ship \u201cby the end of Q1 2025\u201d and cost between $399 and $499, are differentiated with the addition of a small screen on the frame. The \u201cDigiWindow\u201d appears as a 3.5-inch private display in the upper-right corner of your vision and is controlled using voice commands, an interface on the frame, or a smart ring with an integrated trackpad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Dell\u2019s new 32-inch 4K OLED display uses an infrared sensor and five speakers<\/a> located below the screen to track your head and beam sound directly to your ears. The feature eliminates the need to keep your head positioned in a sweet spot for optimal sound, and could be ideal for gamers who are constantly moving around in the heat of battle. The monitor also features a 120Hz refresh rate, a 0.03ms response time, and will launch in the US on May 22nd, 2025 for $799.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Bird Buddy is moving on to smaller flying creatures of the outdoors. The company behind the stylish smart bird feeders<\/a> is introducing a playfully designed camera<\/a> for tracking your plants and the insect visitors that stop by them. You\u2019ll be able to view a livestream from your phone, while an optional solar panel can keep the 4K camera running. It\u2019s supposed to launch on Kickstarter this spring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mirumi is a robot that you might actually want to own. It\u2019s a furry, bashful companion bot that clings to a bag and looks adorable. It doesn\u2019t have AI tricks and doesn\u2019t even make noise. Like my colleague Owen Grove said in a video<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s just a cute fuzzy thing. What more do you want?\u201d It will be available through a crowdfunding campaign that\u2019s set to launch in mid-2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n How big is too<\/em> big for a handheld gaming machine? The answer might be Acer\u2019s new Nitro Blaze 11 featuring a beefy 10.95-inch 144 Hz WQXGA touch display<\/a> that makes it look like you\u2019re holding a small monitor instead of a portable console. It\u2019s powered by an\u00a0AMD Ryzen 8040HS processor, 16GB of RAM, and has detachable controllers with Hall effect joysticks. It\u2019s also got a built-in kickstand so you don\u2019t have to strain your arms by always playing it handheld. It will be available starting in Q2 2025 and start at $1,099.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your smartphone may take great pictures, but it lacks the refined ergonomics of a traditional camera. Belkin\u2019s new Stage PowerGrip<\/a> addresses that issue, and battery anxiety. It\u2019s a MagSafe power bank with a 10,000mAh battery, a retractable USB-C cable, and a design that adds a camera-like grip to the iPhone. It\u2019s even got a phsyical shutter button that works with the iOS camera app over Bluetooth, and a small LCD screen on the front showing the battery\u2019s remaining charge. Pricing and availability haven\u2019t been announced, but the PowerGrip will come in several color options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
