Roborocks new Saros Z70s solution to that problem is an articulated five-axis robot arm called the OmniGrip that can pick up after its owners and move obstacles out of its way. Its limited to smaller items like socks, tissues, or anything weighing less than 300 grams, but the company plans to eventually expand what it can grasp. Pricing isnt known, but Roborock says the Saros Z70 will be available by June 2025.Samsung The Frame Pro TV Photo by Chris Welch / The VergeSamsungs The Frame TV appealed to many consumers with an aesthetically pleasing design and the ability to camouflage itself as a piece of art in a homes decor. The Frame Pro further expands the TVs appeal to more discerning TV viewers with a variation on Mini LED display technology, the matte finish introduced in 2022, and a wireless connection to its breakout box so all you need to hide is a power cord.Halliday smart glasses Image: HallidayWith the success of the Meta Ray-Bans, its no surprise that several companies are debuting smart glasses at CES 2025. Hallidays new enhanced specs, which are expected to ship by the end of Q1 2025 and cost between $399 and $499, are differentiated with the addition of a small screen on the frame. The DigiWindow appears as a 3.5-inch private display in the upper-right corner of your vision and is controlled using voice commands, an interface on the frame, or a smart ring with an integrated trackpad.Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED monitor Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The VergeDells new 32-inch 4K OLED display uses an infrared sensor and five speakers located below the screen to track your head and beam sound directly to your ears.

Its supposed to launch on Kickstarter this spring.Mirumi Image: Yukai EngineeringMirumi is a robot that you might actually want to own. Its a furry, bashful companion bot that clings to a bag and looks adorable. It doesnt have AI tricks and doesnt even make noise. Like my colleague Owen Grove said in a video: Its just a cute fuzzy thing. What more do you want? It will be available through a crowdfunding campaign thats set to launch in mid-2025.Acer Nitro Blaze 11 Image: AcerHow big is too big for a handheld gaming machine?

Belkins new Stage PowerGrip addresses that issue, and battery anxiety. Its a MagSafe power bank with a 10,000mAh battery, a retractable USB-C cable, and a design that adds a camera-like grip to the iPhone. Its even got a phsyical shutter button that works with the iOS camera app over Bluetooth, and a small LCD screen on the front showing the batterys remaining charge.
