Just yesterday, TCL announced its latest NxtPaper smartphone – the NxtPaper 70 Pro at CES 2026. We’ve now managed to get our hands on a unit, and these are our first impressions. The headline feature on the NxtPaper 70 Pro is its massive 6.9-inch NxtPaper 4.0 display. Like all entries in the NxtPaper lineup, this is an IPS LCD panel with a matte coating that reduces glare and reflections. This makes everything from reading to watching videos much easier on the eyes. It’s kind of like an e-ink display, though you still get full 100% sRGB color gamut coverage, an adequate FHD+...
Lenovo is bringing its Tech World event to CES 2026 this year, and it plans to host it in the famous Sphere in Las Vegas. The event will kick off at 8 PM ET on January 6, and it will stream live on YouTube at the link below. As is usually the case with Lenovo at CES, it's probably safe to assume that we will see some interesting tech implemented in a bunch of prototypes.

However, we also expect some new Motorola phones to enter...
Today at CES, Razer has unveiled Project Motoko, a headset that is "AI-native" and has integrated cameras. It blends "gaming, lifestyle, and productivity in one intelligent platform", the official press release claims. The Motoko's dual first-person-view cameras are positioned at eye level to basically see what you see, enabling real-time object and text recognition - translating street signs, tracking gym reps, summarizing documents on the fly, all of that. There are also dual far and near-field mics, working together to capture voice commands and pick up dialogue within view. The...
We have seen many unusual smartphone designs over the years, but the Honor Robot Phone just might be the most "out there" yet. The company is offering a sneak peek at CES 2026 – the full reveal will have to wait for the MWC. In case you missed it somehow, the Robot Phone has a unique gimbal mechanism that flips out of the back. Here you can see it retracted (left) and extended (right). The Honor Robot Phone extending its camera gimbal Note that the first step of this process is for the protective panel to slide out of the way to the right. This panel normally sits above the...
The iPhone 17e is coming soon, expected to be unveiled at some point this coming spring. A new rumor out of China today 'confirms' (as much as any rumor can) the fact that it will boast a 6.1-inch screen with a 60Hz refresh rate and the Dynamic Island feature (which also implies a hole-punch cutout replacing the iPhone 16e's notch), and a downgraded version of the Apple A19 chip that also powers the iPhone 17. It will of course be the cheapest in the iPhone 17 family. These details have been rumored before, but even though nothing is official, the more rumors agree on stuff like this, the...
Honor is gearing up to launch its own thin and light premium phone with the Magic 8 Air. The device was teased by the brand’s President on Weibo, where it is said to feature both Pro and Air features. We’re not exactly sure what this entails, but it could be a nod to flagship camera hardware and a larger battery capacity compared to rivals like the iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Tipster UniverseIce also shared a schematic render for the Magic 8 Air, which shows a brushed aluminum back with a visor design for its cameras that’s quite similar to the Google Pixel series. This...
AMD today announced the Ryzen 7 9850X3D at CES 2026. This is a higher binned version of the company's popular 9800X3D gaming CPU, and can hit higher clock speeds. This part has been rumored heavily in the past several weeks, and appeared in several leaks, including ones from Dell and AMD itself. The Ryzen 7 9850X3D features the same 8-core, 16-threads design as the 9800X3D, as well as the same 96MB L3 cache that makes these chips especially suited for gaming workloads. Thanks to the higher level of binning, the 9850X3D can now hit 5.6GHz clock speeds, up from the 9800X3D's 5.2GHz,...
