Motorola’s CES 2026 slate was pretty packed. Aside from the barrage of new PC hardware from sister company Lenovo, the company revealed its first book-style foldable phone and a new smartwatch developed in partnership with Polar. Flying under the radar was another reveal that will appeal to an even broader audience. 

The big draw

The latest in lifestyle tech from the company is the Moto Tag 2, and this one could very well outshine Apple’s AirTags in a few key areas. To start, Motorola claims that its new object tracker can last 500 days before it requires a battery swap. 

For comparison, the AirTags offer an advertised battery longevity of one year. The battery fitted inside the Moto Tag 2 is user-replaceable. And just in case you’re wandering, it’s the coin-shaped CR2032 standard that is easily available out there.

It also throws a couple of cool features into the mix. The onboard button can be used as a remote camera shutter trigger when paired with a phone. Additionally, it can do reverse location tracking for your connected device.

Going the extra mile

“Aside from finding your belongings, the Moto Tag 2 can also help people locate their phone. They can press the tag’s button to ring the device and find the phone even on silent,” explains the company. This feature comes to life thanks to support for Bluetooth Channel Sounding. 

Another big draw is support for Ultra Wideband connectivity, which enables centimeter-level accuracy for location tracking with lower latency. The build is IP68 rated for resilience against dust and water exposure. 

As far as ecosystem and connectivity features go, the Moto Tag 2 offers Remote Camera capture, Find My Phone, Location Sharing, and Google Find Hub integration. Available in a single Pantone Laurel Oak color, the tracker doesn’t have a price attached to it, yet, but available details will be announced soon.

New Gigs app uses AI to organise your live music memories
You can now organise all your concert memories in one place
Gigs app

A new iPhone app called Gigs is aiming to change how music fans remember live events by turning scattered concert memories into a structured, searchable archive. Developed by indie creator Hidde van der Ploeg, the app uses artificial intelligence to organise past concert experiences into a personalised digital timeline.

The idea is simple: instead of letting ticket stubs, screenshots, and photos sit forgotten across devices, Gigs brings them together into one place - complete with details, stats, and memories tied to each event.

Samsung is already rethinking the TriFold, and this time, it’s starting with the hinge
The TriFold may have had a short shelf life, but its successor is already being engineered to last and to fold flatter.

The original Galaxy Z TriFold barely spent enough time in the market to warm pockets before Samsung pulled the plug on it. The company launched the phone on January 30, 2026, as the world’s first mass-market triple-fold smartphone sold in the United States, but it was discontinued just three months later. 

However, Samsung hasn’t given up on the concept yet, as it's already engineering a sequel and starting from the hinge.

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.
