The CES 2026 show floor is packed with all kinds of devices, from questionably practical to amazingly innovative. And yeah, heaps of concept devices, too. As usual, devices with next-gen display tech drew a lot of attention, and this year, it was TCL that powered two of the most promising devices that might soon land on the shelves.  

A foldable for the masses?

Motorola revealed its first book-style foldable phone at the show, and this one could again rewrite the rules for the market. Featuring a flexible 8.1-inch 2K LTPO panel supplied by TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology (TCL CSOT), the device stood out with its sleek build and signature looks. 

The latest offering from the Lenovo-owned brand, dubbed the Razr Fold, packs a 6.6-inch external screen, a trio of 50-megapixel cameras at the back, and a top-tier Qualcomm silicon. But what truly sets the device apart, hopefully, is the asking price.

Now, Motorola hasn’t officially revealed the asking price of its upcoming foldable phone, but if the history of clamshell-style Razr phones is anything to go by, this one’s going to undercut the foldable phones offered by the likes of Google and Samsung, among others.  

An absurdly practical gaming laptop  

When it comes to gaming, bigger is always better. However, beyond the 17-inch form factor, you won’t get many mainstream options in the gaming laptop segment. It would be unwise to make anything bigger because it would beat the whole purpose of a mobile gaming station.  

Lenovo and TCL have other plans. Say hello to the Legion Pro Rollable Concept, a gaming laptop that comes equipped with a rollable Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming display. In the normal state, you get a 16-inch display for work and play. 

But thanks to the built-in dual motors, the display expands from both sides, first reaching a 21.5-inch canvas, and then expanding further into a wide-format 24-inch screen tailored for immersive gaming. It’s also packed to the gills with Intel’s top-tier silicon and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics.

AI agents are sitting through students’ online courses, and colleges are struggling to stop them
The technology has moved from helping with homework to effectively impersonating students inside virtual classrooms.

AI cheating has already gone from asking a chatbot to write an essay to using tools that can make that AI-written work look human. We've previously talked about AI tools designed to help students cheat and the growing problem of AI detectors struggling to keep up, as well as how commonly students are already using AI for homework. Now the technology isn't merely helping students do the work. In some cases, it can effectively be the student.

AI voice recorders that can capture meetings, transcribe conversations, and generate summaries are becoming increasingly common. Flowtica's Scribe, for example, puts those capabilities inside a pen that can also be used for handwritten notes.

Comu, formerly known as Comulytic, is taking the concept a step further with the Action Pro, which is a pocket-sized AI recorder capable of turning recorded conversations into editable presentations, follow-up emails, meeting briefs, documents, and action plans. The device has a dedicated AI button that lets users request these materials using voice commands.
