Motorola is preparing to roll out two new midrange devices, the moto g stylus 2026 and the moto pad 2026. The pairing makes enough sense on paper. One is meant for jotting down notes, sketching, and handling everyday phone duties, while the other gives you a larger screen for streaming, schoolwork, and the usual pile of tasks that somehow spreads across multiple devices.
Some kitchen purchases seem purely practical until they become the appliance you use almost every day, and that’s exactly where Vitamix has landed for plenty of home cooks over the years. If you have been waiting for a sale to make the price feel a little easier to justify, this spring promotion may be your sign to go for it. From April 24th through May 10th, Vitamix is taking $50 to $200 off the Ascent X Series, Propel Series, 5200, VX1, and select kitchen systems. The 5-Speed Immersion Blender is also $25 off, and the 2-Speed model is $30 off.
NextSense Smartbuds arrive with promises that would make any sleep gadget hard to resist. You tell yourself this might be just the thing™ that finally blocks the hotel HVAC drone, the hallway slams, your spouse who somehow snores in surround sound, and the midnight brain chatter that has no business chattering when the rest of you is trying to clock out. Sleep earbuds already have a tough job. They have to stay comfortable against a pillow, disappear enough that you don’t fixate on them, last through the night, and actually help rather than just look good in an app.
ESR iPhone 17 Classic Hybrid Magnetic Cases with Stash Stand are designed for a simple reality: phones get dropped, camera bumps get scraped, and clear cases rarely stay clear for long. With options for the iPhone 17e, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, ESR’s new lineup focuses on the sort of everyday protection that actually matters, while adding a built-in stand and magnetic charging support that won’t make your phone feel clunky.
The KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer is KitchenAid’s latest update to a kitchen staple that has spent decades on countertops and wedding registries. This new 5-quart tilt-head model keeps the familiar silhouette, but adds some genuinely useful upgrades, including finer speed control, a gentler fold setting, a built-in LED bowl light, stainless steel accessories, and a redesigned beater meant to cut down on scraping.
The Soundboks Mix is SOUNDBOKS‘ newest Bluetooth speaker, and it’s very clearly not trying to be tasteful background audio for a quiet dinner party. The Danish brand says this $799 speaker is built to bring high-output sound into more everyday settings, with up to 121 dB of volume, a swappable battery, app-based sound controls, and an outdoor-friendly design. In other words, it’s meant for the kind of gathering where the music is part of the event, not just something humming politely in the corner.
There is a particular kind of gadget that earns its keep not because it saves time, but because it rescues moments that would otherwise stay trapped in a binder, a carousel, or a shoebox no one has opened in years. The HP FilmScan 7″ Touch Screen Film & Slide Scanner Digitizer (HPFS700) clearly aims for that territory. At $259.99, it isn’t trying to be a professional restoration lab in a box; it’s trying to be the thing that finally gets you to do something with all those old slides and negatives you keep meaning to deal with. That distinction matters.
Outdoor string lights usually fall into one of two categories. They’re either simple white bulbs meant to create a warm patio glow, or colorful smart lights where each bulb shows a single color at a time. The new Govee Outdoor Chromatic String Lights try to bridge that gap. Instead of limiting each bulb to one color, the system allows multiple colors to appear within a single bulb, creating gradients and shifting effects along the string. It’s a subtle distinction on paper, but it represents a different way of thinking about decorative outdoor lighting.
BOOX has introduced the BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II), the latest version of its 10.3″ E Ink tablet designed for reading, writing, and focused work without the visual fatigue that often comes with traditional screens. The new generation arrives in two models, including a Lumi version with a built-in front light for reading and note-taking in dim environments. Starting at $419.99, the device continues BOOX’s strategy of blending the calm simplicity of E Ink with the flexibility of a full Android operating system.
Anyone who enjoys entertaining eventually runs into the same problem: the main kitchen refrigerator isn’t a great place to store wine. Temperatures fluctuate, bottles get pushed around every time someone grabs a snack, and space disappears quickly. That’s where a dedicated wine refrigerator begins to make sense. The BODEGA JC-115DR 24″ Wine and Beverage Refrigerator is built to handle that role while offering more flexibility than a traditional wine cooler. It uses two independently controlled temperature zones and a dual-door layout, allowing it to store both wine and canned beverages in the same unit.
Apple has never been shy about charging premium prices, so any iPhone that lands closer to the middle of the market tends to come with a quiet disclaimer. Something is usually missing. A feature disappears, a capability gets trimmed back, or the phone arrives with the faint suggestion that the real experience costs a few hundred dollars more. The iPhone 17e, starting at $599, does not entirely escape that dynamic. Apple still reserves its most extravagant hardware for the higher tiers. Yet this model feels less like a consolation prize than earlier “budget” iPhones.
Laundry detergent has looked more or less the same for decades. You pour liquid from a heavy plastic jug, scoop powder from a box, or toss in a pod and hope it dissolves the way it should. Tide evo is trying to change that by turning detergent into a lightweight, dissolvable tile that promises the same cleaning power without the bulky bottle. It sounds simple, but the idea took years to develop.
Athletes tend to focus on performance. Recovery usually happens in the quieter moments between workouts, games, and everything else that fills a day. Those small transitions, like walking out of the gym, standing in line for coffee after a long run, or shuffling around the house after leg day, can determine how your body feels the next morning. KANE builds recovery shoes specifically for those moments when your feet are tired, but you’re not quite done moving. The KANE Revive OB takes the brand’s familiar recovery design and reshapes it into a casual open-back slip-on built for quick transitions.
Disposable batteries have a way of quietly multiplying in modern homes, especially once toys, controllers, flashlights, and small gadgets start piling up. The new Statik Rechargeable AA Battery and its AAA counterpart aim to ease that familiar frustration by replacing traditional alkaline cells with rechargeable versions that plug directly into USB-C, eliminating the need for a separate charging dock or specialty adapter.
Lenovo’s ThinkPad T-Series is getting a 2026 refresh, and it’s arriving at MWC 2026 alongside a handful of business-minded siblings: a rugged Android tablet, a new detachable, a 2-in-1 ThinkBook aimed at smaller companies, and a slim portable monitor. It’s the familiar mix of “AI-ready” hardware, expanded processor choices, and a renewed push toward repairability. What stands out this time isn’t the buzzwords so much as Lenovo’s attempt to make modern work hardware last longer without making IT departments regret every deployment decision.
Keeping a swimming pool clean tends to involve a rotating cast of tools, attachments, and weekend motivation that mysteriously disappears once summer heat arrives. The Beatbot Sora 70 robotic pool cleaner, now available for pre-order in Lavender Purple or Midnight Blue at $1499, is attempting to simplify that routine with a single cordless robot designed to clean nearly every part of a pool in one pass, including areas many cleaners quietly ignore.
Neck pain has quietly become one of modern life’s most reliable side effects. If you spend enough hours leaning over a laptop, peering down at your phone, or wedged into an airline seat that eternal optimists clearly designed, your shoulders will eventually begin to hurt. Portable massagers try to solve the problem, though most fall into familiar extremes: bulky massage guns that rarely leave home or lightweight should-worn options that buzz without doing much else. Then there’s the 3rd-generation SKG G7 Pro_Fold, made to offer meaningful relief in a light and portable design that can tag along through everyday routines.
If you have a soft spot for translucent tech, the new Ghost colorway of the KeySmart SmartCard might be your next impulse buy. The Ghost KeySmart SmartCard is a cool, see-through take on the original Black version, letting you glimpse the internal design while keeping the same ultra-slim profile. If smoky, transparent gadgets still make your inner late ’90s to mid ’00s self smile, this is the tracking card to slip into your wallet.
There are times when a tiny Bluetooth speaker feels almost apologetic; you perch it on the counter during a game-day gathering, hit play, and suddenly everyone is huddled around it like it’s whispering stock tips. That’s charming for dinner music, but not so much when your team just scored. The Limited edition JLab Blue XL Speaker Headphones look like oversized blue headphones, but instead of covering your ears, they drape around your neck or sit on a table, blasting outward like a compact sound system. They’re perched squarely between personal audio and portable party, and subtle? They are not.
Samsung is getting ready to introduce a new Galaxy camera experience, a system designed to pull photo capture, editing, and sharing into a single workflow on its latest Galaxy smartphones. The full reveal is set for Galaxy Unpacked on Wednesday, February 25, at 1 p.m. ET, but the company has already previewed how this updated camera experience will lean heavily on Galaxy AI to handle tasks that used to require multiple apps and more patience than most people care to admit.
The Statik SmartCharge Pro is a $99 portable battery and wall charger hybrid designed to consolidate the tangle of cables and power bricks that tend to accumulate in your bag. With a 15,000mAh battery, built-in USB-C cable, wireless charging pad, and international plug adapters, it promises to handle everything from your phone to your laptop in a single, travel-friendly device. That’s an ambitious claim. The real question is whether it earns the space it takes up in your carry-on.
