The Best Gadgets at CES 2025: Innovations in Smart Technology

The show floor of the biggest tech event of the year hasn’t even opened yet, but CES 2025 has already unveiled a plethora of new gadgets, innovative technology, and cutting-edge AI-powered devices enticing consumers to upgrade their tech.

It’s a lot to keep track of, so we’re here to help you catch up. Below are some of the standout gadgets showcased at the event so far. Of course, there’s still much more to explore. You can catch up on all of The Verge’s comprehensive coverage of the show here.

Roborock Saros Z70

The challenge for many robot vacuums in achieving thorough cleaning often lies in random objects cluttering the floor. Roborock’s innovative Saros Z70 addresses this issue with its articulated five-axis robot arm, named OmniGrip, capable of picking up small items and moving obstacles out of its path. While it is limited to handling lighter items like socks and tissues, Roborock plans to enhance its capabilities in the future. Pricing details are yet to be announced, but the Saros Z70 is set to hit the market by June 2025.

Samsung The Frame Pro TV

Samsung’s The Frame TV has captured the attention of consumers with its aesthetically pleasing design, allowing it to blend seamlessly into home decor as a piece of art. The Frame Pro enhances this appeal for discerning viewers with advanced Mini LED display technology, a matte finish introduced in 2022, and a wireless connection to its breakout box, requiring only a power cord to be hidden.

Halliday smart glasses

Following the success of the Meta Ray-Bans, it’s no surprise that various companies are launching smart glasses at CES 2025. Halliday’s enhanced smart glasses, anticipated to ship by the end of Q1 2025 at a price range of $399 to $499, feature a small display integrated into the frame. The “DigiWindow” acts as a 3.5-inch private display in the upper-right corner of your vision, operated via voice commands, a frame interface, or a smart ring equipped with a trackpad.

Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED monitor

Dell’s new 32-inch 4K OLED display utilizes an infrared sensor and five speakers positioned below the screen to track your head movements, directing sound precisely to your ears. This feature eliminates the need to maintain a fixed position for optimal sound, making it ideal for gamers who are active during play. The monitor boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time, set to launch in the US on May 22nd, 2025, priced at $799.99.

Wonder plant and insect camera

Bird Buddy is shifting its focus to the smaller flying creatures of nature. The company behind the stylish smart bird feeders is launching a playfully designed camera to monitor your plants and their insect visitors. Users will be able to view a livestream from their phones, and an optional solar panel can keep the 4K camera operational. This product is expected to launch on Kickstarter this spring.

Mirumi

Mirumi is a robot that you might genuinely want as a companion. This adorable, furry bot clings to bags and lacks AI features or sounds. As my colleague Owen Grove remarked in a video: “It’s just a cute fuzzy thing. What more do you want?” This robot will be available through a crowdfunding campaign set to launch in mid-2025.

Acer Nitro Blaze 11

How large is too large for a handheld gaming machine? The answer may lie in Acer’s Nitro Blaze 11, featuring a robust 10.95-inch 144 Hz WQXGA touch display, resembling a small monitor rather than a portable console. It’s powered by an AMD Ryzen 8040HS processor, includes 16GB of RAM, and features detachable controllers with Hall effect joysticks. Additionally, it has a built-in kickstand to alleviate arm strain during handheld play. The device will be available starting in Q2 2025, beginning at $1,099.99.

Belkin Stage PowerGrip

Your smartphone may capture stunning photos, but it often lacks the ergonomic benefits of a traditional camera. Belkin’s new Stage PowerGrip addresses this issue while alleviating battery anxiety. This MagSafe power bank features a 10,000mAh battery, a retractable USB-C cable, and a design that provides a camera-like grip for the iPhone. It also includes a physical shutter button compatible with the iOS camera app via Bluetooth, along with a small LCD screen displaying the remaining battery charge. Pricing and availability have yet to be announced, but the PowerGrip will be offered in various color options.
