Shokz may have made its name with bone-conduction headsets, but the company has also built open-style earbuds in recent years. At CES 2026, the company is debuting its most recent model, the OpenFit Pro, which combines effective noise reduction with Dolby Atmos support in a premium set of wireless buds. As the name suggests, these sit outside of your ears, secured by an over-the-ear hook, so that you can stay in tune with your surroundings at all times.To me, the main appeal of the OpenFit Pro is the new Noise Reduction Mode that acts as a bit of active noise…

A new rumor suggests Vivo could be planning something ambitious for its next flagship camera phone. The upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra is said to borrow an idea from Xiaomi’s recent zoom tech — but apply it in a way that could make it more useful in everyday shooting. Vivo X200 Ultra The claim comes from a Weibo tipster and has since made its way to Reddit and X. According to the post, vivo’s next Ultra model — expected around March and tipped as the company’s first Ultra phone to see a wider global release — could feature a triple rear…
We’ll admit that we weren’t paying enough attention to the state of Anthem—BioWare’s troubled 2019 jetpack-powered open-world shooter—to notice EA’s July announcement that it was planning to shut down the game’s servers. But with that planned server shutdown now just a week away, we thought it was worth alerting you readers to your final opportunity to play one of BioWare’s most ambitious failures. Anthem was unveiled at E3 2017 in a demo that was later revealed to have been largely faked to paper over major issues with the game’s early development. Anthem’s early 2019 release was met with a lot of…
Would Microsoft secretly be happier if people stopped buying the Xbox entirely? Would you risk breaking a $2,000 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold to chase a high score? And why was League of Legends unplayable for so many people over the weekend? You’ve stumbled onto another edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s daily roundup of gaming news and culture. Welcome to the first full week of 2026, where I am obsessed with the idea that the first act in Cyberpunk 2077 might have been even longer. Creative director Igor Sarzyński explains why that would have been a terrible idea. “It’s like saying…
The following article discusses adult themes.One surprising find at CES 2026 comes from OhDoki, the Norwegian makers of The Handy, a smart stroking device. It turned up to the desert with two new products, the Handy 2 and the Handy 2 Pro. Fundamentally, they’re the same device, but the Handy 2 Pro comes with a far bigger battery, taking the usable life from one hour on the standard model all the way to five. That extra power enables you to run the 2 Pro far faster and harder than the original once you set it into Turbo mode. In fact,…

Samsung is teasing a new version of its Freestyle portable projector, and the early message is pretty clear: it’s brighter. The upcoming Freestyle+, expected to be shown at CES 2026, looks like an attempt to address one of the original model’s biggest drawbacks. From what Samsung has shared so far, the design stays largely the same. The projector keeps its cylindrical shape and rotating stand, letting users aim it at a wall, ceiling, or floor without much effort. That flexibility has always been the Freestyle’s main draw, and it doesn’t look like Samsung wants to mess with it. The bigger…
In late 2023, storage company Western Digital announced plans to split itself into two companies. One, which would still be called Western Digital, would focus on spinning hard drives, which are no longer used much in consumer systems but remain important to NAS devices and data centers. The other, called SanDisk, would handle solid-state storage, including the drives that Western Digital sold to consumers under its Blue, Black, Green, and Red brands. That split effectively undid what Western Digital did a decade ago when it bought SanDisk for $19 billion. And we’re just now starting to see the way the…
Just like last year, NVIDIA has used some of its time on the CES stage to introduce an upgraded version of its real-time image-upscaling technology.
