It’s the new year, and the tech industry’s biggest event of the year is already here: CES 2026. This is the tech industry’s first major showcase of the year, and it’s prime time for brands to share what’s on the way and launch new products across every major category, from oddball gadgets and gizmos to PCs, laptops, TVs, AI, and beyond. This year, we’ve already seen some futuristic new products on display, like LG’s uber-thin Wallpaper TV, Samsung’s Galaxy TriFold smartphone, a wearable AI pin, and more.

With so many conceptual ideas and models at the event, it’s hard to know what the everyday consumer can really look forward to buying. That’s where we come in. As ZDNET’s shopping and advice editors, we’re the perfect pair of experts to funnel down the best CES tech that you can buy — or in most cases, preorder — right now. With one of us on the ground in Las Vegas, and the other working remotely, we’re able to cover the best new gadgets to spend your money on right now, and any gap in between. Here’s the scoop on the most exciting ready-to-buy (or soon-to-purchase) CES 2026 products.
Belkin just unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 Charging Case Pro at CES. This dual-use charger and carrying case is available for preorder and will ship in mid-January. The Charging Case Pro is designed for the Switch 2 and offers power on the go, plus protection against scratches, bumps, and drops. It includes new features, like a completely built-in charger and no need for extra cords or cables. It’s available in three colors.
Anker’s new 13-in-1 Nano Docking Station features a 6-in-1 built-in removable hub. You can use the full dock for a triple 4K monitor setup at home and then pop out the hub for “grab-and-go” expansion during travel. It supports 100W upstream charging and 10 Gbps data transfers. This is one of the rare CES products that is available for purchase, and already has a discount as well.
For the next six days, save $30 on this hub with code WSPDV2H79VBS at Anker.
Moft’s classic snap-on phone stand and wallet is one of our favorite minimalist and no-fuss MagSafe wallet options that we’ve tested. It’s sleek, compact, and perfect for everyday use on the go. It also comes in a wide variety of colors to match many phone cases, and it’s under $50. At CES, Moft just made it better — enabling this flagship style with Apple’s Find My Bluetooth tracking.
Forget AirTags or Bluetooth tracker cards — now you won’t need either to keep track of your phone’s wallet, which is perfect if you’re worried about bumping your wallet off your device or you frequently take your MagSafe accessories off your phone. Moft’s new wallet technically isn’t available yet, but you can subscribe for an exclusive discount to use when some of the brand’s CES launches like this one become available in late January.
This nifty charger isn’t technically available just yet, but you can sign up to be notified of its release on Jan. 20, and in doing so, you’ll receive a 25% off early bird discount.

Anker, the world’s No. 1 mobile charging brand, expanded its lineup at CES. This 45W wall charger features a new smart display and an upgraded charging experience — it’s not just your average charger.
Anker says this smart display charger can identify your iPhone model in seconds and deliver up to 45W of tailored charging. It also claims to reduce phone battery temperature by 9°F compared to other 45W chargers on the market, keeping your devices safe. It’s also got a 180-degree foldable plug and is perfect for travel, as Anker says it’s 47% smaller than the original 30W charger with 50% more output.
You can’t go wrong with scooping up these types of tech gadgets — there’s always something to charge.
