1) Solar beach umbrella
Anker’s solar beach umbrella is much more than just shade. This umbrella is part of Anker’s SOLIX line and does something quite unique. Charges your devices while you cool off outdoors. What makes it special? Perovskite solar cells that are really impressive. These cells are about 30% more powerful than traditional solar cells in bright sunlight and perform twice as well in low light. The Umbrella can pump out 80 watts of power via USB-C and even has an XT-60 connection to power things like Anker’s new EverFrost electric cooler. So you can literally keep your drinks cold and charge your phone at the same time. While they haven’t released a price yet, you can expect this technology to hit stores sometime in the spring or summer.

3) Samsung’s new TV uses AI to serve recipes
Have you ever binge-watched a cooking show and suddenly craved that exact dish? Well, Samsung has got your back with Samsung Food, a fantastic TV feature that uses AI to recognize dishes on screen and instantly serve up their recipes faster than you can say “bon appétit”. Technology is not just about recipes. Samsung Food can track your grocery deliveries, compile shopping lists from the contents of your fridge, and even suggest meal plans. Samsung calls it the “ultimate AI sous chef,” and honestly, they might be on to something. Of course, the AI won’t actually cook for you (trouble, right?). But for aspiring home cooks who get inspired by every cooking show and movie, this could be a complete game changer. Just don’t blame Samsung if you end up spending more time watching cooking shows than actually cooking. Of course, you’ll need a Samsung TV from 2025 to access this culinary magic. Samsung Food will be available on the QN90F, QN80F and QN70F TV models.

4) The robot vacuum cleaner does not only clean floors
The Roborock Saros Z70 changes the game by doing what most robot vacuums can’t: intelligently handle stray objects. When a sock or a pair of underwear falls on the floor, this smart device won’t just push or catch them. Instead, it provides a hidden mechanical arm, carefully moving items to a designated area, keeping your space tidy and preventing cleaning interruptions. Robotic vacuum cleaners have evolved from simple floor cleaners to intelligent assistants that can navigate obstacles, handle pet hair, and now even manage lost clothes.
