Stuff’s 111 hottest gadgets 2026: the greatest current and upcoming gear to upgrade every aspect of your life

Because it’s sometimes hard to keep track of all the amazing new gear that keeps coming out, here’s our pick of the best new tech this year – covering everything from headline launches to surprisingly useful everyday upgrades.

Cameras

From pocket shooters to pro-grade kit, these are the cameras and accessories changing how you capture, edit and share every shot

DJI Osmo Pocket 4

DJI’s compact powerhouse returns with the same ultra-portable, gimbal-stabilised formula, and plenty of new tricks for videographers to enjoy. A new 1in sensor serves up more detail and impressive low-light performance, while full 10-bit D-Log unlocks more cinematic-looking footage without needing extra gear. It’s still built around a wide 20mm lens that suits vlogging perfectly, now backed up by usable lossless zoom and smarter controls that make quick adjustments feel far less fiddly. Battery life also stretches to around 2.5hrs of 4K, or 4hrs at 1080p. There’s no dust or water protection due to the gimbal – but for offering stealthy, effortless, high-quality video in your pocket, it stands as one of the very best options around.

1. Tone up

Six on-camera ‘film tones’ let you apply stylised colour profiles without manual editing. They’re not all subtle, but they’re a quick way to easily add some mood.

2. Zone in

The Pocket 4 uses software wizardry to boost voices as you zoom in on a subject, helping speech stand out in busy scenes without needing an external microphone.

3. Blown out

A magnetic mount supports lightweight modular add-ons such as a fill light, opening up a world of handy accessories to expand what this camera can do.

Panasonic Lumix TZ300

This pocket-sized travel camera packs a long-range reach that your phone can merely dream of. Its 15x optical zoom stretches from wide landscapes to distant wildlife, while the 1in sensor keeps images looking detailed and natural, aided by optical image stabilisation.

$/£869 / go.stuff.tv/TZ300

Insta360 Luna Ultra

Refusing to let the likes of GoPro rest, Insta360 is now taking aim at pocket gimbal cameras with the Luna Ultra. It combines a 1in sensor with dual-lens imaging smarts, promising enhanced telephoto performance.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/LunaUltra

GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS

GoPro’s latest offering takes its action cam formula in a very different direction. The Mission 1 Pro ILS swaps fixed optics for an interchangeable Micro Four Thirds mount, opening the door to a huge range of lenses. A 50MP sensor and GP3 processor promise strong low-light skills.

$/£600 / go.stuff.tv/Mission1

UnifyDrive PixelMob

Before your eyes glaze over at a portable drive, this one’s different. A full on-the-go workflow hub, the PixelMob combines SSD storage with a touchscreen, letting you back up footage directly from your camera without a laptop.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/PixelMob

Ricoh GR IV Monochrome

Ricoh’s compact cams have a cult following, thanks to their ability to make room for a relatively massive APS-C sensor in a pocketable body. This one is perfect for creative street photographers with a penchant for pure black and white.

$/£1599 / go.stuff.tv/RicohMono

DJI Avata 360

DJI’s latest FPV drone adds a new layer of creative freedom with full 360 capture. Dual sensors shoot spherical 8K footage that can be reframed after recording, letting you handily decide your angles later. It can also switch to a more traditional forward-facing 4K mode.

$/£635 / go.stuff.tv/DJIA360

Fujifilm Instax Mini 13

Fujifilm’s latest instant comes with new tricks. A front-facing self-timer encourages natural group shots, while twisting the lens for close-up mode ensures you’re front and centre. There’s no denying its retro charm.

$/£80 (tbc) /go.stuff.tv/Mini13

Peak Design Travel Backpack 2-in-1

This modular pack is built for photographers who are sick of juggling bags. It combines a larger travel pack with a detachable daypack, giving you flexibility once you reach your shooting destination.

$/£350 / go.stuff.tv/Peak2in1

Canon EOS R6 V

Canon’s next hybrid camera wants to blur the line between stills and video specialists even further. The 32.5MP sensor pairs with 7K open-gate recording and 12-bit RAW video, while in-body stabilisation keeps it steady.

$/£2400 / go.stuff.tv/R6V

Smartphones

Faster chips, smarter AI, and cameras that rival DSLRs – these are the cutting-edge models pushing what’s possible with a phone

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra

Motorola’s latest folding flagship stands out from the crowd with a funky design and even funkier colour options. Its pocket-friendly clamshell design pairs with a wonderfully generous 4in external screen, letting you run apps, reply to messages and stay in control without flipping it open. Inside, a large 6.96in AMOLED panel delivers bold colours and serious brightness, while a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip keeps everything slick and smooth. The headline upgrade, though, is the camera system: a trio of 50MP sensors led by a new LOFIC main sensor that captures far more dynamic range than before, backed by AI shooting modes and Dolby Vision video. Add a 5000mAh battery and rapid charging, and it looks like the most complete Razr yet.

$/£1200 / go.stuff.tv/70Ultra

1. Sit up

A 90° fold lets you prop the 70 Ultra up for hands-free photos, with the outer screen acting as a live preview for better framing of selfies and group shots.

2. Zoom in

Camcorder-style wrist rotation lets you zoom smoothly while filming, with AI stepping in to track and frame your subject. No more stop-start zooming grief.

3. Stand out

The finish options are blue Alcantara and real wood veneer, both giving it a tactile edge that you won’t find on many rivals. It’s about time phones were exciting again.

Apple iPhone Ultra (Fold)

In typical Apple style, the tech giant has bided its time, waiting to release its first folding phone some years after the competition. And while the foldable iPhone is still largely under wraps, leaks suggest a ‘book’ design.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/iPhoneFold

Honor Robot Phone

Honor’s wildest concept yet blurs the line between phone and miniature camera. The Robot Phone integrates a motorised gimbal system directly into the body, allowing it to track subjects and stabilise footage in real time. It can follow users on video calls and adjust framing on the fly.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/HonorBot

Oppo Find X10

Leaks about Oppo’s Find X10 series point to a 200MP main sensor, with higher-end models in the line potentially adding a 200MP periscope and even a 200MP ultrawide. If true, that would mark quite the shift in ultrawide camera treatments.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/FindX10

Sony Xperia 1 VIII

Sony doubles down on all the things that Xperia fans care about: a headphone port, microSD, front-facing stereo speakers and a dedicated camera shutter button. But the big upgrade is in the brilliant 48MP sensor for zoom shots.

$/£1399 / go.stuff.tv/Xperia1viii

OnePlus Ace 6 Ultra

OnePlus is leaning hard into performance with this one. A Dimensity 9500 chip sits at its core, backed by up to 16GB of RAM and a large battery designed for extended use. The optional snap-on gaming controller earns it bonus points.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/Ace6Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Wide Fold

Samsung’s next foldable looks set to embrace a wider, more tablet-like form factor. Leaks point to a broader display and a slimmer overall build, with refinements to the inner selfie camera that should make it less distracting.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/WideFold

Bigme Hibreak Dual

The Hibreak Dual takes a very different approach to smartphone design. Its main 6.13in E Ink display is built for reading, writing and distraction-free use, while a secondary LCD screen handles notifications and colourful stuff.

$400 / go.stuff.tv/HibreakDual

Honor Magic9 Pro Max

Honor’s next big handset is gunning for snappers and videographers, if the rumours are anything to go by. We’re expecting a dual 200MP camera system with improved stabilisation and video performance.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/Magic9PM

Clicks Communicator

BlackBerry fans, take note: the Clicks Communicator throws modern phone design out of the window in favour of something more focused. A compact body is paired with a physical keyboard that doubles as a touch-sensitive trackpad, designed to cut distractions and keep comms front and centre.

Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

Google’s next foldable looks set to build on a familiar base rather than reinvent it. Early leaks suggest a similar design to its predecessor, with a new Tensor G6 chip that’s focused on AI. Camera upgrades are likely to be more software-based.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/11PF

Laptops and work devices

From tech-packed laptops to blistering-fast monitors and customisable keyboards, your home setup is in for a treat

Razer Blade 16

Razer’s latest Blade 16 is building on an impressive winning formula. The big upgrade comes from Intel’s new Core Ultra 9 386H processor, paired with Nvidia’s beastly RTX 50-series graphics and faster LPDDR5X memory, delivering serious performance for games and creative workloads alike. Despite that, the chassis stays impressively slim, making it one of the more portable machines in its class. The 16in QHD+ OLED display returns with a 240Hz refresh rate and higher brightness, giving games and video real visual punch. Around the sides you’ll find a generous mix of ports, including Thunderbolt 5 and HDMI 2.1, so it’s ready for desks and travel setups. Improved efficiency also promises longer battery life – the Achilles’ heel of most gaming-friendly notebooks.

from $/£3600 / go.stuff.tv/Blade2026

1. Speed up

The Core Ultra 9 chip includes an integrated NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS (that’s trillions of operations per second), accelerating real-time effects.

2. Settle in

Up to 15hrs of battery life makes this one of the few gaming laptops that isn’t glued to a charger. Of course, expect less if you’re running Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings.

3. Break out

Thunderbolt 5 sits alongside HDMI 2.1, USB-A and an SD card reader, giving the slim Blade 16 proper desktop-grade connectivity without faffing with adapters.

Asus TUF Gaming A14

Asus is championing AMD’s next wave of laptop performance with this beast. By pairing a Ryzen AI Max+ chip with integrated Radeon graphics, it delivers serious power without needing a GPU – that means fewer compromises on size and portability, even with a 2.5K 165Hz display.

$/£1600 / go.stuff.tv/TUFA14

Alienware 15 (2026)

You couldn’t call it cheap, but compared to Alienware’s usual machines the new 15 is certainly approachable. The base model pairs an AMD Ryzen 5 220 with an Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

$/£1249 / go.stuff.tv/alienware15

Cuktech 30 Ultra

Desk a tangled labyrinthine mess of chargers? Enter the Cuktech 30 Ultra. With up to 300W of total output, it can juice up all your gadgets at the same time, including more demanding devices through its dedicated DC port. The display shows how much power each device is drawing.

$/£139 / go.stuff.tv/Cuktech30U

Asus Zenbook A14

The Zenbook A14 proves you don’t need to bulk up to get performance gains. Weighing under 1kg, it’s easy to carry, but the Snapdragon X2 Elite chip inside delivers a noticeable jump in power compared to the previous model.

$/£1100 / go.stuff.tv/ZenA14

Dell XPS 14

The XPS 14 is back – and its gloriously slim all-aluminium design stays as portable as ever. Under the hood, you’re getting Intel’s latest Core Ultra chips for a big lift in performance and efficiency, while the option of a 2.8K OLED panel adds real zing.

$/£1849 / go.stuff.tv/XPS14

Ayaneo Mini PC AM03

The AM03 is as much about its gloriously tactile retro looks as it is about performance. Intel’s Core i9 gives it muscle for multitasking, creative work and light gaming, but it’s the design that stands out, with a foldable front panel that keeps ports hidden until you need them.

$399 / go.stuff.tv/Ayaneo

Apple MacBook Neo 2

The cheapest Apple laptop has been such a hit that a follow-up could land sooner than expected. The Neo 2 is tipped to swap the current model’s recycled A18 Pro chip for a newer A19 Pro along with, hopefully, 12GB of RAM.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/AppleNeo2

Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub

Dell’s gigantic 52in UltraSharp isn’t just big – it’s meant to replace an entire desk setup. The 6K panel gives you room to run multiple apps side by side, while a 120Hz refresh rate keeps it smooth.

$/£2200 / go.stuff.tv/UltraSharp

OnePlus Pad 4

OnePlus is clearly aiming higher with the Pad 4. A Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and up to 12GB of RAM keep things feeling fast, while the 13.2in 3.4K display and 144Hz refresh rate make everything sharp and silky.

These next-gen machines and gear will sharpen your reflexes, boost immersion and make you forget about‚ y’know, all that ‘real’ stuff

Steam Frame

Valve’s next big swing at VR takes direct aim at the Meta Quest 3. Cutting the cord completely, it’s a standalone headset that runs SteamOS natively, letting it handle VR and gaming experiences without being tethered to a PC. Powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip with 16GB of RAM, it can also stream games wirelessly from a PC using Steam Link with the included adapter. Dual displays of 2160×2160 per eye and refresh rates of up to 144Hz promise a sharp, smooth view, while inside-out tracking (courtesy of four high-resolution monochrome cameras) removes the need for annoying external base stations. It’s yet to be released due to RAM shortages, but we’re hoping it’ll make its way onto our faces by the end of the year.

$/£tba / go.stuff.tv/SteamFrame

1. Listen up

The Frame has dual speakers on both sides, with each pair pointed in opposing directions to cancel out vibrations, which could otherwise interfere with the tracking.

2. Look in

Eye-tracking enables foveated rendering to optimise detail only where your eyes are looking, promising a 10x improvement in image quality and greater efficiency.

3. Reach out

The controllers have everything you need to play non-VR games too, including the same thumbsticks and capacitive finger tracking as Valve’s own Steam Controller.

Playnix Console

The Playnix is a take on the Steam Machine: a compact home console built on impressive PC hardware. Inside the minimalist shell lie a Ryzen 5 CPU, a Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU and 16GB of RAM, with access to a wide range of games and apps.

$/£1179 / go.stuff.tv/Playnix

SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Omni

This is a true all-in-one headset that can connect to multiple devices at once and mix several audio sources, letting you juggle game sound, chat and music without switching inputs. Active noise-cancellation and a quality mic round out the package.

Microsoft’s latest limited-edition controller is hard to ignore; whether that’s a good thing depends on your tastes. The transparent shell mixes bright cyan with splashes of neon green and pink, for one of the boldest designs seen on a first-party pad.

$/£85 / go.stuff.tv/ForzaPad

Abxylute M4

The Abxylute M4 takes an ultra-compact approach to mobile gaming, using a magnetic mount to attach directly to your phone instead of clamping around it. The two-part design combines that MagSafe mount system with a tidy Bluetooth controller.

$/£49 / go.stuff.tv/Abxylute

Sony InZone M10S II

This monitor is built for speed above all else. The 27in QHD OLED panel runs at 540Hz, with the option to push as high as 720Hz (!) in lower res for competitive play. A 0.02ms response time and motion blur reduction help maintain clarity.

$/£1180 / go.stuff.tv/M10Sii

$/£175 / go.stuff.tv/AESplus

Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 5

The Legion Tab Gen 5 packs flagship gaming hardware into an 8.8in tablet designed to kill boredom on the go. A 3K display runs at 165Hz, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip keeps AAA games ticking along with ease.

Fitness gadgets

Engo 3

Smart glasses are getting busier, but the Engo 3 takes a more focused route. Built for runners and cyclists, it projects key stats directly into your line of sight using AR, so you can track pace, distance or heart rate without glancing down at a watch. The 38.5g frame is shaped more like performance eyewear than a bulky gadget, with a wide mask-style lens and adjustable fit for stability on the move. A high-brightness OLED display, rated at over 3000 nits, keeps data visible in bright sunlight, while the companion app lets you customise metrics through widget-based layouts. Bluetooth connectivity also links it to smartwatches and phones, with support for platforms such as Garmin and Apple Watch.

$/£300 / go.stuff.tv/Engo3

Wearable tech

Smartwatches, rings and beyond – meet the wearable tech that can keep tabs on your whole life without getting in the way

Casio G-Shock GBX-H5600

Surf’s up! Casio’s latest G-Shock watch adds fitness tracking to its surf-focused G-LIDE line, but you could easily use it for other extreme sports should you be that way inclined. It includes a built-in heart-rate sensor alongside an accelerometer to track workouts and activity in real time. Tide graphs and moon-phase data remain core features, now joined by run tracking, sleep monitoring, and training insights powered by algorithms from Polar. Four time modes are selectable at the push of a button, a high-contrast MIP display keeps everything visible outdoors, and an eye-catching translucent design gives it a fresh update that retro fans are bound to love: in true watch-geek style, you can see into the case.

$/£209 / go.stuff.tv/CasioH5600

1. Bear up

Water-resistance has always been a strong point of G-Shock watches, and this model carries that on by withstanding up to 20-bar pressure, so a huge 200m of depth.

2. Phone in

Your training results can be viewed in the Casio smartphone app – which you can also use to switch the main display font from ‘standard’ to ‘classic’.

3. Time out

Casio has now sold over 100 million G-Shock watches. The idea was based on three 10s: withstanding 10m drops, 10-bar water pressure and 10yrs of use.

Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro

The Cheetah 2 Pro takes aim at serious runners with a feature set that rivals more expensive sports watches. A 1.32in OLED display sits in a light titanium build, offering dual-band GPS, offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation.

With bigger screens, sharper detail and richer audio, this is the tech for transforming your living room into a sound and vision heaven

Amazon Ember Artline

Most televisions are just big black rectangles waiting to ruin the vibes of your living room. The Ember Artline is Amazon’s attempt to fix that, bringing the fight straight to the likes of Samsung’s rather pricey Frame. Turning into a convincing piece of wall art when you’re not watching anything, the Artline’s matt QLED screen cuts glare, while an ambient light sensor adjusts brightness so images look more like a canvas than an electronic screen. It comes with a flush wall-mount for a cleaner install – though all ports sit on the rear of the unit, so your cable management will need some planning. When it is time to watch something, you get a faster Fire TV interface and Alexa+ voice control that lets you search more naturally.

from $/£950 / go.stuff.tv

1. Brush up

The Artline comes preloaded with around 2000 artworks, from classics to modern pieces, and you don’t have to pay monthly to unlock them. A rare win.

2. Colour in

You can use your phone camera to analyse your room and then receive suggested art that matches the decor. It’s bound to beat cycling through images at random.

3. Rule out

It comes in 55 and 65in models, which might disappoint those who would prefer something to rival a projector – but then, that would ruin the ‘picture frame’ illusion.

WiiM Bar

The WiiM Bar is built to do more than just boost your TV audio. Yes, it’s a 3.0.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar with up-firing drivers for height effects in films, but it’s just as focused on music, with a wide soundstage and extra-clear vocal detail.

Epson EH-LS970

If a standard TV isn’t cutting it any more, it’s time for a proper upgrade. This projector can beam out a detailed 4K image of up to 150in while sitting just centimetres from the wall. And it runs really quietly, which is a big bonus.

$/£3299 / go.stuff.tv/LS970

Marshall Bromley 450

The Bromley 450 is Marshall’s take on an unapologetically loud party speaker, built to fill a room rather than quietly playing Coldplay’s Drippiest Hits in the corner. It delivers powerful 360° sound.

Sony 1000X The Collexion

These cans build on the already incredible WH-1000XM6s, with a focus on more luxurious design. A newly developed 30mm driver has been tuned with mastering engineers to better reflect how music is actually meant to sound.

Life upgrades

How about some clever and sometimes unexpected gadgets that make the everyday smoother, more practical‚ and more fun?

Bambu Lab X2D

In theory, 3D printing is all sorts of fun, but too often it’s the tedious cleanup that ruins the experience. Enter the Bambu Lab X2D – a 3D printer that’s here to soothe your woes. It’s all thanks to a second nozzle, which lets you print supports in a different material, so they snap off cleanly instead of clinging on for dear life and wrecking your finished creation. It still delivers the speed Bambu’s known for, but the bigger win is how little babysitting it needs. Auto levelling, built-in monitoring and a properly controlled print environment mean you’re not constantly tweaking settings or restarting failed jobs. In short, it just gets on with it – something, frankly, that many 3D printers still fail to achieve.

$/£769 / go.stuff.tv/X2D

1. Sharpen up

The X2D’s main nozzle handles precision, while the second feed system keeps the moving parts lighter – helping prints stay fast and accurate without wobble.

2. Kept in

A triple-stage filtration system with HEPA and carbon layers traps fumes and particles, making it more home-friendly than many rival printers.

3. Watch out

A camera with AI monitoring skills can spot issues such as failed layers or wrong build plates, helping you catch problems before loads of materials are wasted.

Comulytic Note Pro

The AI-powered Note Pro is built for people who are tired of writing things down. It records meetings, transcribes them in any one of 113 languages and generates summaries and action points automatically. It’s small enough to carry easily, but still records for up to 45hrs per charge.

$130 / go.stuff.tv/Comulytic

Ikape Kapo K2 Pro

Portable coffee usually means compromise; but if a sub-par caffeine experience is simply unacceptable, the K2 Pro has you covered. Despite its compact build, it packs in a 20-bar pressure system and a full-size filter.

Traeger Woodridge Pro Plus

Roborock Qrevo Edge 2

The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro is a monument to just how far robot vacuum cleaners have come from the dark days of constant collisions and endless confused loops. Rammed with the latest tech, it handles both carpets and hard floors with consistent pickup, so you’re not always sending it back out to finish the job. A retractable Lidar tower helps it get under lower furniture, and mapping is quick enough that you’re not stuck setting it up for ages. Once it knows your layout, it moves through rooms in a structured pattern, covering space properly rather than bouncing around randomly. The app gives you control over zones, schedules and even cleaning intensity, so it can quietly keep things in check without much input.

$/£850 / go.stuff.tv/Edge2

1. Rise up

The Edge 2’s clever chassis adjusts its height dynamically, helping maintain the perfect level of suction contact. It can also get over thresholds of around 3cm.

2. Pull in

With a frightening 25,000Pa of max suction, it’s built to pull embedded dust and debris out of dense carpets, making it one of the most powerful robot vacuums around.

3. Dry out

The detachable mop pads know to stay off carpets in order to keep wet spots at bay, while a hot cleaning cycle in the dock helps keep them fresh between runs.

Ezviz C6N G1 4K

Smeg MOC01 Microwave

While most microwaves do their job quietly in the corner, Smeg’s glitzy offering earns its place on the counter. The MOC01 pairs the brand’s signature retro styling with a 29L capacity that’s big enough for everyday meals, from leftovers to full plates. It’s designed to be simple to use, with a clear interface and a smoothly satisfying soft-close door that makes it feel more considered than most. The layout is straightforward too, saving you from digging through multiple menus just to heat something quickly, and it handles day-to-day cooking tasks without fuss.

1. Crisp up

A dedicated grill mode with a raised rack lets you brown and crisp food, adding more versatility to the mix – and textures you don’t usually get from a microwave.
