The gadgets that make older tech feel dated share one trait: they change a familiar interaction. A toy reacts to light and distance, a keyboard clips onto a phone, a television nearly disappears on the wall, and a vacuum climbs stairs. Not all of them are for sale yet. Some are products on shelves, some are CES 2026 demonstrations, and some are concepts. This guide covers ten items and labels each one with the status its source reported, so you can tell what you can buy from what you can only watch. We stopped at ten rather than padding the list to fifteen, because a concept is not a shopping pick.
How to read the status labels
Most of the reports below date from January 2026, around CES 2026 and the start of the year. None of them confirms current stock, pricing, or regional availability, so treat each status as a snapshot from that date rather than today’s situation.

Smart lighting: Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19
This is the only item here with a clear shopping path in the sources. PCWorld’s best smart home products of 2025-26 roundup, published January 1, 2026, names the A19 a smart-lighting pick and showed an Amazon offer when it ran. The reviewed price was $49.99 at that time, and that figure is now out of date.
The same roundup describes the Philips Hue Bridge Pro as supporting more than 200 Hue devices and turning lights into motion sensors through motion zones. That is the feature that moves a bulb beyond on and off. The sources do not say whether the A19 needs the Bridge Pro for motion zones, so check Philips Hue’s own compatibility information before you buy the hub.
Connected toys: LEGO Smart Play
AP reported that LEGO introduced Smart Play at CES 2026 as a platform combining connected bricks, tags, and specially designed minifigures. The bricks detect light and distance, and they trigger coordinated light and sound. You can read the AP’s CES 2026 coverage for the announcement itself.
The interesting change is that a brick responds to its surroundings instead of waiting for a button press. Whether the system stays engaging over months of play, and what it costs once you add the tags and figures, are questions the announcement does not answer.
Phone accessories: Clicks Technology Power Keyboard
AP describes a magnetic QWERTY keyboard that clips onto a phone and includes directional keys and a number row. The company says it doubles as a wireless power bank. Co-founder Jeff Gadway called it “one keyboard for all your smart devices,” which is the company’s own claim rather than an independent finding.
Before you consider it, confirm which phone models the magnetic clip fits and whether the power-bank function works with your phone. The sources do not establish either point, and a keyboard that only fits some handsets is a very different proposition from one that fits all of them.
Televisions: LG Wallpaper OLED TV (Evo W6)
Tom’s Guide describes the LG Wallpaper OLED TV (Evo W6) as a 9mm-thick OLED panel paired with a wireless Zero Connect box. The report says the link carries 165Hz lossless 4K video and audio at distances up to 10 meters. Those figures are the reporter’s reading of the announcement, not independent measurements.
The design shift is the wireless box. It separates the screen from its source equipment, which is what allows the panel to sit flush on a wall. Confirm the market, shipping date, and price for your region before you plan a wall mount around it.
Robot vacuums: Roborock Saros Rover
Tom’s Guide describes the Roborock Saros Rover as a stair-climbing robot vacuum with wheels on extendable legs. The reporter saw it climb stair treads at CES and recorded a hands-on observation. That is evidence of a demonstration. It does not show retail availability, and it does not show how the machine handles the range of staircases found in homes.

Pebble Round 2
TechRadar describes Pebble Round 2 as a round smartwatch with a color e-paper display, reporting a week of battery life per charge along with fitness and sleep tracking. Those are the product claims as reported in the TechRadar CES 2026 roundup. The battery figure depends on usage conditions that the summary does not detail, so expect real-world results to vary.
Noise Luna Band
Noise Luna Band is a screenless health tracker. You log meals, workouts, and mood by voice, and the app reviews those logs. TechRadar’s roundup says it requires no subscription. Subscription terms can change, so check the price page at the time of purchase.

AP also covered three CES 2026 items that show where the category may head, but none has an established buying path in the sources:
- Strutt EV1, an autonomous personal mobility chair.
- OlloNi, an AI “cyber pet” with a fuzzy, companion-style design.
- Razer Project Motoko, an AI headphone concept shown as a demo.
AP’s coverage frames the trend with a line from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: “The ChatGPT moment for physical AI is here.” It is a broad comment about physical AI, not an endorsement of any product on this list.

How to judge these gadgets before you buy
Use the same five questions for every item, whether it is a shipping product or a demonstration:
- Problem solved: Does it fix something you do repeatedly, or does it mainly show off a new interaction? The Hue A19 and the Clicks keyboard solve everyday problems. A stair-climbing vacuum solves a narrower one.
- Novelty of interaction: Does it change how you use the object, such as a toy that senses light and distance, or only add a feature?
- Setup and ecosystem: Does it need a hub, a companion device, or specific phone models? Check this first, because the extra setup often determines whether a gadget stays in use.
- Availability and total cost: Confirm stock, regional release, and the price you will actually pay, including any accessories the product depends on.
- Subscriptions and privacy: This guide does not compare privacy practices across these products, and the sources do not support such a comparison. Read each manufacturer’s privacy policy and any subscription terms before you buy.
Sources for the reports are PCWorld, AP, Tom’s Guide, and TechRadar.
