The Consumer Electronics Show, orCESas it’s better known, kicks off the calendar of tech events for the year, and it’s the biggest. Manufacturers from across the world come to Las Vegas to display their latest products, from TVs and robot vacuums to EVs and giant diggers.
Once again, T3 has been roaming the show floors, sniffing out all the biggest releases, the hidden gems and the craziest concepts. You’ll find the full report on ourCES 2024page.
Picking just 21 winners from the thousands of releases at the show was no easy task, and we could have easily doubled the number of Awards and still struggled to choose. That said, the products that made our list impressed our editors so much that they just had to go in.
So here it is: T3’s Best of CES 2024 Awards list in its entirety, including groundbreaking and genuinely impressive products from the breadth of offerings at the show.
Best Wireless TV

LG doesn’t only makethe best OLED TVsin the world, it now makes the best wireless OLED TV in the world. That’s right, the OLED M4 only needs a power cable plugged in, everything else is transmitted over the air from a separate box.
TheLG OLED M4 is the future of televisions, ultimately, and now it’s being made available in a 55-inch version it’ll be more cost-effective for many who want this kind of advanced technology. Oh, and there’s soon to be a fully transparent version, called theOLED T, which was another CES 2024 mind-melting reveal.
Best Hybrid Laptop

How about that for a best-of-both-worlds solution? It’s very eloquently produced in a lightweight design that could easily hit our list ofbest laptopsand, indeed,best tablets. It’s unusual innovations such as this which make CES such a fun show to cover, but also a clear Awards winner.
Best Electric Car

CES isn’t all tellies and laptops, though. It’s rapidly expanded into representing the automotive industry at large. Honda utilised CES 2024 as the stage to reveal its all-new electric car range, the 0 Series.
From zero to hero, the Honda 0 Saloon Concept is one stunning-looking EV that marks the Japanese brand’s future in sophisticated style. From its yoke steering to futuristic lighting, it’s a worthy Awards winner.
Best OLED TV
Panasonic Z95A

Panasonic has long made some ofthe best OLED TVson the market, with the Japanese brand’s 2024 flagship,the Z95A, on supreme form. This OLED model features a second-gen Micro Lens Array panel and new processing that’s brighter than ever before.
Plus, thanks to a chunky integrated soundsystem, you’ll never need to worry about buying one of thebest soundbarsto go with it. Just like theMZ2000that came before, the Z95A sounds stupendous. And withFire TVbuilt-in everything will run extra smooth too. Lovely stuff.
Best In-Car Audio

Changes to speed, acceleration, braking and steering are all used to remix a series of new and specially adapted tracks. That’s why it’s raced into our CES 2024 Awards list, as one of the standout and more unusual innovations shown off at the show.
Best iPhone Accessory
Clicks for iPhone

Clickedy clack, that’s the sound of… a keyboard for theiPhone? That’s right,Clicks for iPhoneis a quick-attach accessory that provides a physical keyboard for iPhone, opening up more screen real-estate, and providing a typing experience more like a BlackBerry of old.
We really like how it’s been considered to function withiOS, too, with shortcuts and other features ensuring fluid use-cases. And you needn’t use it all the time: it easily attaches through the power port (USB-C or Lightning) and it never requires separate charging either.
Best Gaming Laptop
Razer Blade 16

When it comes to thebest gaming laptops, CES had plenty on show. But above them all it’s this Razer that stands out the most for 2024, thanks tointegrating a world-first display technologyinto the product.
The Razer Blade 16 brings aSamsungDisplay partnership as the first to ship with a 16-inch 240Hz OLED display. That’s right: an OLED panel at a frame-rate we’ve only thus far seen among the (very expensive)best gaming monitors. Sound the Awards siren, as this is an easy winner.
Best AI Product
Rabbit R1

As the Rabbit R1 can learn how you use your apps, it can then operate them for you. For example, where you can get a ChatGPT-style system to create a holiday travel plan for you, the Rabbit can book your travel and accommodation. And that’s booked it straight into our CES 2024 Awards as a winner.
Best Smart Ring
Amazfit Helio Ring

We love a surprise and that’s exactly what Amazfit delivered with itsHelio Ring reveal early on at CES 2024. This new smart ring is made from skin-friendly titanium alloy and weighs only 3.8 grams (size 10). It’s even waterproof.
Joining the ranks of the Oura Ring, the Ultrahuman Ring Air, and the RingConn Smart Ring – and now our CES 2024 Awards – the Amazfit proposition is designed to aid with your fitness plans and progress, with integration of third-party apps, including Strava, adidas Running, komoot, Relive,GoogleFit andAppleHealth.

Love shooting videos but don’t have a videographer following you around all the time?Belkin has the solution for you, iPhone users! The Stand Pro is an auto-tracking iPhone stand that can follow you around, keeping you in the frame no matter how much you move.
Think of it as Centre Stage on steroids: unlike Apple’s tracking system, which needs you to remain in front of your iPhone, the Stand Pro physically moves the phone to follow you. It’s even the first accessory to work with Apple’s DockKit, which is designed specifically for motorised stands. And it’s motored its way straight into our CES 2024 Awards as a result.
Best In-Car Assist
BMW enhanced driving experience

BMW demonstrated the future of its augmented reality tech at CES this year, with an enhanced driving experience that uses the XREAL Air 2 glasses. When either the driver or passenger is wearing the glasses, they are able to see live directions in the road, including direction arrows, speed limits and stop signs. For the passenger, the glasses are able to project live games into their vision, local information via an avatar that sits virtually on the dashboard, or even just watch a movie with a giant virtual screen placed against the sun visor.
All this is a step towards the technology the company showed last year on itsiVision Deeconcept car, but this glasses version appears relatively close to being ready to go. It’s somewhere between an advanced head-up display and it’sMotorrad smart glassesand we love them.
Best Binoculars
Swarovski AX Visio

There are binoculars and then there arebinoculars. The Swarovski AX Visio features a built-in camera and can use artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in identifying various species of birds (up to 9,000 different ones at that).
With a 10x magnification you can zoom right in on the action, while that camera is able to capture pictures so you can keep a piece of your wildlife dreams alive to look back on. The AI data is included in images' metadata so you’ll always be able to know what you’re looking at. It’s a really clever implementation of AI.
Best Gaming Device
MSI The Claw

Teased ahead of CES opening – and with inevitableToy Storyquips to be had – MSI’s The Claw is a handheld gaming device that’ll take on would-be Steam Deck buyers. Its amped up the gaming vibes, though, with RGB lighting included.
Best Laptop Innovation
Asus Zenbook Duo

If you findthe best laptopsoften lack enough screen real-estate, thenAsus' new-generation Zenbook Duo delivers in droves thanks to not one but two 14-inch displays. They’re both OLED, both deliver masses of resolution (2880 x 1800), both operate at 120Hz, and make for a whacky yet wonderful all-screen experience.
You can even ditch the keyboard and go all-in on display, or use it away from the screen via Bluetooth, making for a multi-faceted and versatile device. It’s like the Swiss Army Knife of laptops and a very ‘CES’ product that’s a clear Awards winner.
Best Earphones
Sennheiser Momentum Sport

If you’re looking for some of the besttrue wireless earbudsthat cater for working out then theSennheiser Momentum Sportfeature onboard fitness tracking tech. Sensors can measure your heart rate and body temperature and relay that to third-party apps in real-time.
That includes Peloton,Apple Watchand Apple Health, Garmin Watch and Garmin Connect, and Strava; plus a collaboration with Polar means the Momentum Sport earbuds work seamlessly with the Polar Flow app ecosystem. You might be able to ditch the smartwatch after all!

Best Gaming Phone
Asus ROG Phone 8

Thebest Android phonescome in many forms and Asus' take with the ROG Phone 8 is to bring a gaming monster for those who are keen on playing app-based games at their very best. It’s a runner for thebest gaming phonein 2024, deliveringSnapdragon 8 Gen 3power to its 6.78-inch 165Hz display.
That display is what really sells this handset, as it’s ultra-responsive, ideal for gamers, yet delivered in a less chunky design than previous ROG Phone. The handset is also the first ever IP68-rated gaming phone, so you can game anywhere without limitation.
Best Soundbar
Samsung HW-990D

From gaming phones to soundbars that gamers will love: the Samsung HW-990D is the 2024 iteration of Samsung’sbest soundbar, delivering the same audio setup as theprevious 990C offering– with a staggering 11.1.4 channels – but with HDMI 2.1 passthrough that’ll work with the best current-gen gaming consoles.
Best Robot

The AI Agent uses AI and multi-modal technologies to move, learn and engage in complex conversations in and around your home. It can read the temperature and air quality of your home to learn your habits and adjust accordingly, like an AI-automated smart home hub.
Just look at that face: how could younotgive it a T3 Best of CES 2024 Awards badge?
Best TV Tech
Samsung S95D

This year, if things aren’t getting smarter, they were getting brighter, and none more so than Samsung’s flagship Quantum Dot OLED TV. The new model is now 20% brighter than last year’s S95C, and that was already rather luminous.
What we really loved about the S95D though was that it gained OLED Glare Free technology, which cleverly avoids the annoying glare from your window or living room lights. It’s something that worked really well on The Frame, so is very welcome here.
