Best Sustainable Tech: Flint Paper Battery
Imagine a battery made out of paper! A startup from Singapore called Flint has developed a new type of battery that is more eco-friendly and affordable than traditional lithium-ion batteries.
The key ingredient? Cellulose, a natural material that helps transfer energy between the battery’s positive and negative sides. These batteries are flexible, can be made as small as a coin, and even built into smartwatch straps. The best part? They decompose in just six weeks when thrown away, reducing environmental waste.
Flint recently received $2 million in funding to begin testing their batteries this year. Their goal is to help reduce the need for lithium mining, which harms the environment.
Best Gaming Device: Lenovo Legion Go S
The Lenovo Legion Go S is making waves in the gaming world. Unlike most handheld gaming devices, it will run on Valve's SteamOS, the same system used in the popular Steam Deck. This makes it the only non-Valve device to officially support SteamOS, offering gamers a fresh alternative.
Though it has a smaller screen and lacks detachable controllers like its bigger sibling, the Go S comes with two USB 4 ports, Hall Effect joysticks, and an easy-to-upgrade storage system. It’s also Lenovo’s most affordable handheld gaming device, launching in May for just $600.
Best Wellness Tech: Ozlo Sleepbuds
Getting a good night’s sleep just got easier with the Ozlo Sleepbuds. These special earbuds are designed to be super comfortable, even for side sleepers. They stay in place all night and won’t fall out.
The Sleepbuds come with cool features like:
- Biometric sensors to track your sleep
- Room sensors to detect disturbances
- A silent alarm that won’t wake up your partner
- 10-hour battery life, so they last through the night
You can even play sounds directly from the Sleepbuds without needing your phone, helping you relax before bed.
Best Mobile Tech: HMD OffGrid
What happens when you lose cell service? The HMD OffGrid device solves this problem by allowing any smartphone to send texts and contact emergency services using satellite networks.
While some newer phones already have satellite connections, most people don’t upgrade often. OffGrid gives older phones lifesaving connectivity for just $200. However, users need to subscribe to a service starting at $80 per year.
Best Security Tech: Ultraloq Bolt Mission
Smart locks are getting smarter! The Ultraloq Bolt Mission is the most advanced lock yet, using ultrawideband (UWB) technology to detect your exact location. This means your door unlocks automatically when you approach, just like a keyless car entry.
For extra security, it also includes:
- NFC tap-to-unlock
- A keypad and physical key option
- 128-bit encryption to prevent hacking
- One-year battery life
It’s compatible with major smart home systems, making it a top choice for home security.
Best Weird Tech: Kirin Electric Salt Spoon
One of the strangest yet most interesting inventions at CES 2025 was the Kirin Electric Salt Spoon. This spoon uses a small electric current to make food taste saltier without actually adding salt.
Why? Too much salt can be unhealthy, so this spoon offers a way to enjoy salty flavors while reducing sodium intake. Some testers noticed a difference, while others didn’t—but the concept is definitely unique! It’s already available in Japan and should arrive in North America soon.
Best Overall Tech: Nvidia Cosmos AI Model
The biggest and most exciting announcement at CES 2025 was Nvidia Cosmos. This new AI-powered software aims to revolutionize robotics by generating massive amounts of training data.
According to Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, robots need lots of data to learn, and Cosmos provides just that. One big company, Toyota, is already using Cosmos to develop the next generation of self-driving cars.
This breakthrough could lead to smarter, more helpful robots in the future, solving real-world problems and creating new possibilities in technology.
