 In the original, and best Total Recall, there's a scene where Rekall's receptionist uses a digital pen to change the color of her nail polish. It's only taken 35 years, but now a company has turned up to CES 2026 with a version that actually works outside a pricey sci-fi movie. iPolish is a company which makes press-on acrylic nails that, when you apply an electric charge, changes color.
In order to enjoy kaleidoscopic nails, you'll need to charge the wand, which then connects to your phone. Once you've selected your color of choice, you just put the tip of the nail into the wand, and it'll pass a short charge into the nail to change it. Sadly, the company wouldn't shed too much light on the process it uses to run the nails but, from my guess, it's some sort of electrochemical shenanigans going on behind the scenes. All in all, it took around five seconds to change the color of a single nail, so it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
iPolishDaniel Cooper for EngadgetiPolish says that each nail can display 400 colors, and can be changed as many times as the user would like. So, if you're coordinating your nails with your outfits, you're not bound to a single color palette in the weeks between salon visits. They're also surprisingly affordable, with the starter set costing $95 which contains two sets

 Motorola just announced its very first side-foldable smartphone, joining the ranks of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The Razr Fold boasts an impressive 6.6-inch external screen and an 8.1-inch flexible main display. The company hasn't provided dimensions, so we don't know how thick it is.
We do know, however, that it'll include support for the Moto Pen Ultra stylus. This is actually a fairly big deal, as Samsung dropped the feature for the Z Fold 7. Modern foldables basically double as tablets, so a stylus is always appreciated.

There's a robust camera system here, with a 50MP Sony sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide/macro, a 50MP telephoto, a 32MP external selfie lens and a 20MP internal camera. It also offers the ability to record in Dolby Vision.
The Razr Fold will be available in blue and white. We don't have any information regarding internal specs, pricing or availability. Motorola says that "more specifications will be shared in the coming months."
It's worth noting that while this is the company's first side-folding camera, Motorola has always mad

If you saw Lenovo's Legion Go 2 launch last year and thought, "I'll wait for the SteamOS version," well, you'll have to wait a little longer. But at least now it's official. At CES 2026, the company revealed the Legion Go 2, Powered by SteamOS. The Valve-friendly variant of the gaming handheld arrives in June, starting at a pricey $1,199.
There aren't any surprises here. It's the same Lenovo Legion Go 2 hardware, with SteamOS replacing the sometimes-awkward Windows. In many ways, you could view the SteamOS Legion Go 2 as a more powerful and versatile (and expensive!) Steam Deck. One notable exception is the optimizations game developers often make for Valve's handheld. (Ditto for "Steam Deck Verified" badges on store listings to learn quickly how playable games are.)
So, all the specs from the Windows version carry over. That includes a spacious 8.8-inch OLED display at 1,920 x 1,200 and with a 144Hz VRR. You still have two tiers to choose from: Ryzen Z2 / 16GB / 1TB or Ryzen Z2 Extreme / 32GB / 2TB. The device has a microSD slot, kickstand, detachable controllers and a 74Wh battery. At 2.2 lbs, it's a bulky affair, so you'll want to look elsewhere if a light, compact handheld is your priority.
Lenovo says the Legion Go 2, Powered by SteamOS is expected in June. It will start at $1,199 for the entry-level variant. (Lenovo hasn't yet announced pricing for the Z2 Extreme tier.) You can revisit Sam Rutherford's

New tech at CES often makes categorization hard. Is Cozyla's latest device a digital family calendar, a TV or a smart home hub? After seeing it, I'd say the answer is, yes? Cozyla calls the Calendar Max the "largest interactive hub in it's category." And indeed, it's the size of a big flatscreen, but the main interface is just like any other Cozyla device, an Android-based family calendar and planner with shared schedules, notes, meal plans, and chores. It syncs with Google, Yahoo and Apple calendars as well as Outlook, and it will run apps from the Google Play store. (Yahoo owns Engadget, but has no say in our editorial coverage.)
But this super-sized version can also stream shows and movies with whichever apps you subscribe to. The photo integration, via the app, will take pics from your phone and stick them on the bigs screen. You can also create a slideshow and photo walls to look at when the calendar is off.
The smart home integration lets you view your security camera and video doorbell feeds on a much larger scale than your phone's display can offer. The display has a camera of its own so you can make FaceTime and Zoom calls.
The Max comes on a built-in stand that you can roll around the house, along with a battery that should power the whole thing for around six hours. When I first heard about it, I found myself wondering where I would put Calendar Max in my house. The kitchen is an ideal centralized calendar location, but I don't want to watch Miss Scarlet in there. Luckily, the wheels make that conundrum moot. This can go anywhere you want it to, and swings into portrailt orientation that looks great for chore mode, and landscape orientation for watching shows.
Possibly the best part is the lack of subscription required. Like with all Cozyla screens, there's no ongoing cost to use all the features. The Calendar Max has no release date or price available just yet, but if I ever decided to organize my family's
