TCL's display tech appeared on a rollable gaming laptop concept on which the 16-inch display expands to an immersive 24-inch screen.

The CES 2026 show floor is packed with all kinds of devices, from questionably practical to amazingly innovative. And yeah, heaps of concept devices, too. As usual, devices with next-gen display tech drew a lot of attention, and this year, it was TCL that powered two of the most promising devices that might soon land on the shelves.  

A foldable for the masses?

Motorola revealed its first book-style foldable phone at the show, and this one could again rewrite the rules for the market. Featuring a flexible 8.1-inch 2K LTPO panel supplied by TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology (TCL CSOT), the device stood out with its sleek build and signature looks. 

The latest offering from the Lenovo-owned brand, dubbed the Razr Fold, packs a 6.6-inch external screen, a trio of 50-megapixel cameras at the back, and a top-tier Qualcomm silicon. But what truly sets the device apart, hopefully, is the asking price.

Now, Motorola hasn’t officially revealed the asking price of its upcoming foldable phone, but if the history of clamshell-style Razr phones is anything to go by, this one’s going to undercut the foldable phones offered by the likes of Google and Samsung, among others.  

An absurdly practical gaming laptop  

When it comes to gaming, bigger is always better. However, beyond the 17-inch form factor, you won’t get many mainstream options in the gaming laptop segment. It would be unwise to make anything bigger because it would beat the whole purpose of a mobile gaming station.  

Lenovo and TCL have other plans. Say hello to the Legion Pro Rollable Concept, a gaming laptop that comes equipped with a rollable Lenovo PureSight OLED Gaming display. In the normal state, you get a 16-inch display for work and play. 

But thanks to the built-in dual motors, the display expands from both sides, first reaching a 21.5-inch canvas, and then expanding further into a wide-format 24-inch screen tailored for immersive gaming. It’s also packed to the gills with Intel’s top-tier silicon and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics.

Zoom will now check if you are a human or an AI imposter during video meetings
Biometric badges, iris scans, and AI bouncers: welcome to the future of your Monday morning standup.
Zoom face scan technology.

Zoom video calls just got a new kind of awkward small feature. The platform will now ask you whether you’re human. It has partnered with World, Sam Altman’s iris-scanning identity company (previously known as Worldcoin), to add real-time human verification inside meetings. 

The feature, launched on April 17, 2026, is a part of World’s ID 4.0 rollout. It lets hosts confirm that every face on the call belongs to a real person, not an AI-generated imposter.

Google’s new desktop mode makes one thing clear: Samsung DeX was onto something
Android 16 finally brings a real desktop mode to Pixel phones, but Google’s long-awaited move mostly proves Samsung spent years getting the hard parts right
File, Webpage, Person

I’ve been waiting for Android to take desktop mode seriously for years. Back in 2019, I bought a OnePlus 7 Pro and wasted an embarrassing amount of time trying to brute-force its half-baked desktop mode into something useful.

The idea made perfect sense to me even then. Phones were already absurdly powerful, and the thought of carrying one real computer in my pocket felt less like science fiction and more like delayed common sense.
