If you didn’t like the Nothing Phone 3’s design, the 4a might be your jam.

Especially the pink color, it looks sick. More details to come on March 5th.

There are noticably fewer perks to pre-ordering the Samsung S26 phones this year.

Unlike last year, there’s no free storage upgrade (likely because of price increases), no trade-in option for the Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, and prices have gone up for the base S26 and S26 Plus.

Think Ring’s Search Party feature went too far? Get ready for facial recognition coming to Meta’s Smart Glasses.

According to a report from the NYT, Meta is planning to launch a dystopian facial recognition feature called “Name Tag” that would let Meta Smart Glasses wearers identify people out in the wild and have Meta’s AI provide more information about them to the user. Taking an incredibly nihilistic viewpoint, the company cited the political tumult in the United States as the perfect time to launch the feature.

Yeah, Aqara’s U400 Smart Lock with UWB is pretty good.

If the Aliro standard wasn’t coming out this year, ultra-wideband unlocking tech on iPhones would make a lot of users switch away from Android. I’m one week in, and I'm never going back to other smart locks.

Didn’t have this on our 2026 bingo card: Apple is taking on Adobe’s Creative Suite.

Apple Creator Studio launches on January 28th.

Apple is aggressively taking on Adobe with a new subscription offering. And given how popular Macs are and how much better Apple's pricing is here, I think this poses a pretty big risk to Adobe. And you can still buy Apple's apps individually as one-time purchases! 😀

Roborock has an answer to one of the main problems with robotic vacuums.

Cleaning the stairs. Shown off at CES 2026, their new prototype can not only traverse from one floor of your home to another, but it can also stop to clean the stairs as well. You can read more about it in the company’s blog post, which also discusses its first-ever robotic lawn mower.

Finally someone launched a ultra-wideband smart lock that has the Apple hands-free unlock feature.

The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy got to test out the new lock for the past month. The lock is Matter-Over-Thread-compatible and should work with the Arilo smartlock standard, due out sometime in 2026, which we talked about in our smart home guide last year. Still no word on where the ultra-wideband Schlage Sense Pro is, which was announced at CES over a year ago.
