CES 2026: The phone folds in three, Lego came alive, and charging flies through the air

If you thought technology couldn't surprise us anymore — I've got news for you.

CES 2026 just wrapped up in Las Vegas, and I honestly don't know what world we're living in now. Previously, this show featured "future concepts" that remained just concepts. Remember flying cars and AI fridges that were supposed to appear "in a couple of years"?

But 2026 changed everything.

Now companies come to CES with one question: "When can we buy this?" And you know what? The answer is almost always: "This year" 🔥

Let's break down the craziest stuff that will soon appear in our homes (and pockets).

Samsung decided: "Let's fold the phone ONE MORE TIME!"

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold — a transformer phone:

Mashable journalists gave it the Best Mobile Tech award. It's the dream of everyone who wants a big screen but doesn't want to carry an iPad!

Imagine a regular 2×8 Lego brick. Now imagine that inside:

Lego Smart Play System won Best Future Tech. Now you can:

✨ Build a lightsaber that ACTUALLY glows
🎲 Create a board game that counts points itself
🏰 Assemble a castle with interactive effects

The Verge called it "a semi-secret feature with huge potential." I call it "the end of productivity for all adult Lego fans" 😂

Forget wireless charging on a pad. That's so last century.

Willo (winner of Best Energy Tech) charges gadgets straight through the air:

Just put Willo in a room — and everything nearby charges. Multiple devices simultaneously. Even if they're moving 🤯

Is this magic? No, but it looks like magic!

AI stopped being a "marketing feature." Now it's just part of the device.

Nvidia introduced the Rubin platform — six new chips that make AI accessible to everyone 💰

Qira (winner of Best AI) works on phone, laptop, and tablet. Started a task on smartphone — continued on laptop. No syncing.

It's like Jarvis from "Iron Man," but real 🦾

Intel Core Ultra 300 and AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus:

Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable — a gaming laptop whose screen rolls out like a scroll. Except it's an OLED display.

Press a button — screen becomes ultra-wide. Perfect for gaming and editing.

Winner of Best Gaming 🎮

Winner of Best Age Tech. Mashable writes that elderly people love Jennie ❤️

CNET called it one of the most impressive products at the show. The only problem — you need a bigger wall 😅

Keyboard broke — replace just the keyboard. Battery died — swap the battery. No need to buy a new laptop!

It's Lego for adults. But more useful ♻️

Sony is making cars. Think about that 🤯

According to The Verge, the car will have tons of AI features and an adaptive interface.

Winner of Best Audio. Your neighbors will be thrilled (or not) 😂

Plus breakthroughs from Nvidia, AMD, Samsung and other giants.
