All the cool new gadgets at CES 2020 (2024)

At CES 2020, here are the cool new gadgets that popped up on the Las Vegas show floor, including an absolutely giant Samsung TV, fake pork and artificial people.

Samsung's suitably named Wall MicroLED TV spans 292 inches, making it the largest TV we've seen at CES. For something slightly smaller, the display comes in 88-, 93-, 110- and 150-inch sizes.

It's the other other white meat. Following up on the success of last year's Impossible Burger 2.0, Impossible Foods rolled out a plant-based pork replacement called Impossible Pork. Like the Impossible Burger, the main protein in Impossible Pork is soy, with sunflower and coconut oils serving as fat sources. CNET editors who had a chance to try it on the show floor say it does, in fact, taste like pork.

From fake pork to artificial friends. Samsung's Neon AI project is working on creating video chatbots that will behave like humans. Neon said its goal is to have the realistic digital humans act as teachers, health care advisers and assistants, for example, and they will continually learn and adapt to become unique companions.

With a sizable 6.7-inch screen and 4,500-mAh battery, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 Lite looks to be a workhorse of a phone. The Note 10 Lite will come with a headphone jack, three cameras on the back -- main, telephoto and ultrawide-angle lenses at 12 megapixels each -- and a stylus. No pricing or release date, yet.

The second phone Samsung announced at CES is the Galaxy S10 Lite. Like the Note 10 Lite, it will come with a 6.7-inch screen and three cameras on the back: a 48-megapixel main, a 12-megapixel ultrawide-angle and 5-megapixel macro lens. It will lack a stylus and headphone jack, however. No price or release details for this one either.

You may know TCL for its affordable TVs. But this stunning $500 phone should help extend its brand awareness. This Galaxy S10 clone comes with four rear cameras, a headphone jack and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor. But the device's arresting design -- with a crisp screen, curved sides and rich colors -- sets it apart from other midpriced phones.

One more from TCL. This foldable prototype could come out later this year. The eye-catching phone will, when open, offer a 7.2-inch screen and cost less than the $1,500 foldable Motorola Razr flip phone.

If the sight of a camera lens on the back of a phone bugs you, this is the device for you. The OnePlus Concept One uses special glass that can tint the lens of the rear cameras. When you're not using the cameras, the glass is opaque and black. When you're ready to snap a photo, the glass turns transparent and the cameras are visible.

Here's what a $155 phone with a 48-megapixel camera looks like. The $155 Alcatel 3L offers cost-conscious buyers three rear cameras and the look of a flashy and elegant phone for a fraction of the price.

The cameras on the back of the of the iPhone 11 offer you lots of interesting ways to capture images. But if you are still feeling a bit constrained, ShiftCam has multiple-lens cases for the the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max that can boost your range of telephoto, ultrawide and macro shooting options.

We caught a glimpse of the ridiculously specced Black Shark 2 Pro gaming phone from Xiaomi at CES. It comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus processor with a CPU clock speed of up to 2.96GHz, a direct touch multilayer liquid cooling system to keep the processor cool, and a 6.39-inch AMOLED Samsung screen with a 60Hz refresh rate.

Looking a bit like a Nintendo Switch, this prototype handheld device for PC gamers from Alienware slides two paddle-like controls onto either side of a Windows 10 tablet to create a handheld gaming device. Unlike the Switch, it will run Windows games.

We already knew a bit about the upcoming PlayStation 5: It will use an AMD chip that has a CPU based on the third-generation Ryzen. It'll have eight cores of the seven-nanometer Zen 2 microchip. It will support 8K and use a custom version of Radeon's Navi line. We were hoping to see it at CES 2020. Instead we got the new logo and a release date (sort of): next holiday season.

Here's your robot-head gaming desktop. The concept PC from MSI builds on the company's Aegis compact desktops to create a futuristic-looking gaming system.

We know Razer for its popular gaming hardware, but it now has a 5G router that does double-duty as stationary 5G-based home mesh router and a mobile 5G hotspot. Designed for gamers, the router can dynamically optimize network prioritization to sustain low latency and high bandwidth for gaming.

Also from Razer, this insanely immersive video-game setup includes motorized seat movement and a 128-inch curved projection screen, offering a 202-degree field of view. A separate motor will contract the racing harness as you drive, simulating the G-force of taking a sharp corner.

Razer again, this time with a fully built gaming PC called the Razer Tomahawk. And if you just want the chassis to build out your own PC, it'll be called the Tomahawk N1. Either way, this sharp-looking little box will look great on your desk.

When you're, umm, indisposed and realize too late you're out of toilet paper, Charmin is ready to help. Using your phone, you can request that Charmin's bear-faced toilet roll robot fetch you a roll and bring it to you in the loo. We're curious how the robot spends its time between bathroom visits.

Samsung is designing this small yellow robot to be your rolling companion and helper around the house. In a demo, Ballie checked on the kids, helped clean up a mess, and kept the dog company. To be honest, a dog and a small yellow ball probably won't end well for Ballie.

Designed to help self-soothe those with stress, anxiety, loneliness and depression, the Jennie robot puppy from Tombot has touch sensors all over its body to react to touch and voice-activation software to respond to commands.

A companion app will let you update the support robot will additional skills.

This vacuum-cleaner robot can clean up a mess and then clean itself when done. The Narwal T10 can vacuum your floors and has a tank of clean water inside so it can mop your floor, too.

From Washington-based Picnic, this pizza-making robot -- which makes pies at Seattle Mariners' ballgames -- was at work on the show floor, turning out pizza for conventioneers.

We can't yet talk to the animals, but the Inupathy harness from Langualess promises to let your dog tell you how he's feeling. The harness can measure your pet's heart rate and uses that information to let you know if your dog is relaxed, excited, happy, interested or stressed out by changing colors. An associated app lets you track your pet's mood.

Here's one way to avoid tattoo regret. This temporary tattoo printer from Prinker lets you apply a tattoo in seconds on any spot you choose.

The upcoming watch from Withings will have ECG and can monitor for atrial fibrillation, watch blood oxygen levels and track sleep. But what perhaps is most interesting is it will be able to recognize possible sleep apnea, Withings said. The health-technology company said that atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea detection are undergoing FDA clearance now.

Back at CES with an updated Amazfit Bip watch, earbuds and a concept for a treadmill, Huami wants to play a bigger part in health and fitness. The new Amazfit Bip 2 gains 5 ATM water resistance, swim tracking, added exercise modes and Bluetooth music controls. The company also showed off a rugged outdoor GPS mega-watch called the Amazfit T-Rex and two heart-rate sensing earbuds. And you can't get it yet, but it also had on hand a concept for a Peloton-like treadmill.

After causing a stir at last year's CES, Lora DiCarlo's Osé sex tech device made its public debate at this year's CES. Along with the Osé -- which was banned last year -- the company had two new products, the Onda and the Baci, it showed on the convention's show floor.

Many of the sex tech products at CES are focused on pleasure, but Morari has developed a device that, in a sense, helps men withhold pleasure. Morari has device, sometimes called a taint Band-Aid, that sends mild electrical impulses in an attempt to help solve the issue of premature ejacul*tion.

Coming out of a partnership between Mercedes-Benz and James Cameron -- the creator of the Avatar movie -- this concept car certainly looks like it would fit right in on the Pandora moon from the movie.
