If you’re into smart home gadgets and appliances (or just want your home to do more of the heavy lifting), these hardware launches are worth a look. The big theme? Smarter, safer, and a lot more fun at home. We’re talking robot vacuums that actually know what’s dirt, cameras that don’t cry wolf, and speakers that can outlast your playlist. Here’s a quick rundown of the latest smart home tech releases and what makes them tick.
Smart Home Essentials by Anker
Anker’s eufy team is back with two new gadgets that want to take the hassle out of home security and cleaning. Think less manual labor, more time for yourself and other things.
Anker eufy Indoor Cam C220 2K
If you want to keep tabs on what’s happening inside your place, the eufy Indoor Cam C220 brings you sharp 2K video (2304 x 1296), so you won’t miss a thing—day or night. The camera can spin 360 degrees and tilt 75 degrees, so it covers every corner. No more blind spots for your sneaky pets. The real trick is its on-device AI, which can tell the difference between a person and, say, a rogue curtain, so you get fewer false alarms and more useful alerts.
eufy Robot Vacuum OMNI C28
The OMNI C28 is here to make hands-free cleaning less of a dream and more of a daily reality, especially if your place is big enough to get lost in. With 15,000 Pa of suction, this thing could probably vacuum up your lost socks along with the usual dirt and pet hair. Its omni station keeps it running for up to 251 minutes in vacuum-only mode, so it can tackle marathon cleaning sessions without breaking a sweat.
Next-Level Home Entertainment
If your living room is your movie theater, gaming arena, or party HQ, Xiaomi and LG have some new toys worth checking out.
Xiaomi Redmi Projector 5 Pro
Xiaomi’s Redmi Projector 5 Pro joins the lineup for anyone who wants a home theater setup without emptying their wallet. It’s especially tempting if you’re into gaming or binge-watching in HD.
You get real 1080p resolution, HDR10 support, and enough brightness (1,000 CVIA lumens, or about 700 ISO) to handle movie nights. Gamers will like the 120Hz refresh rate and 5ms low-latency mode, so your inputs keep up with your reflexes. Under the hood, it’s got an MT9660 chip, 2GB RAM, and 64GB storage, all kept cool and quiet at just 28dB—so your movie won’t sound like it’s competing with a jet engine.
LG xBOOM Blast
LG’s new xBOOM Blast is basically a party in a box, ready for your next backyard bash or camping trip, and tough enough to handle whatever the weather throws at it.
With some tuning help from will.i.am, the xBOOM Blast packs two 5.25-inch woofers and two 20mm tweeters, cranking out 220W plugged in or 210W on battery. The removable 99Wh battery promises up to 36 hours of music, so your playlist will probably give out before the speaker does. It’s got customizable RGB lights, wireless pairing, and an IP68 rating, so it can handle dust, water, and the occasional party foul.
