We\u2019re about one week into 2026, and it\u2019s already turning out to be a busy year. In the tech industry, things have started with a bang at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which officially opened January 6 in Las Vegas. But with a number of pre-show events and press conferences, CES 2026 has basically felt like a week-long event already.<\/p>\n
Monday this week was press day, which saw many companies host press conferences to showcase their announcements. You can scroll down through our liveblog below to get a recap of all that happened this week so far. On Monday, Lego unveiled its new Smart Brick technology<\/a>, and NVIDIA showed off its latest AI announcements for autonomous cars<\/a>. Even before that, on Sunday night, Samsung held its First Look presentation<\/a>, where it unveiled products across its home entertainment and appliance portfolios.<\/p>\n Yesterday, we published our in-person impressions and thoughts of the new Pebble Round smartwatch<\/a> and Index 01 AI ring<\/a>. We waded through an endless parade of robots, including Dreame\u2019s slightly terrifying robot vacuum concept<\/a> and Lovense\u2019s Emily \u201ccompanion\u201d doll. Lenovo held a press conference<\/a> that saw NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan and AMD CEO Lisa Su take the same stage, alongside a mix of other notable names in tech (and elsewhere).<\/p>\n Now that the dust has settled on the press conferences, it\u2019s time for us to get in-person demos of everything we can. Engadget has a team on the ground that\u2019s been hard at work, covering pre-show events, checking out new gadgets in person and writing them up all for you to read wherever you are.<\/p>\n
