1. ‘Fashion Forward: The Honor V Purse Concept Phone’
Foldable smartphones are gaining traction, but Honor’s V Purse concept phone takes it to a whole new level.

It features customizable, always-on displays on the outside, and you can even attach straps, feathers, and tassels to match your style. For fashionistas, this phone will redefine consumer electronics.
2. ‘Self-Cleaning Robot: SwitchBot S10’
Robot vacuum cleaners are a boon for keeping our homes tidy, but the SwitchBot S10 takes it a step further. This robot doesn’t just clean; it cleans itself. With an auto water refill and drain system, the S10’s built-in roller mop washes and scrubs itself at an impressive 300 times per minute. No more worries about spreading dirt around your home. It even has a drying system to ensure the mop is ready for the next cleaning session.
3. ‘Portable TV: LG StandbyME Go’
In a world dominated by smartphones and tablets, LG has introduced something truly unique: a portable 27-inch 1,080p LCD TV called the StandbyME Go. It’s neatly packed into a suitcase, complete with a built-in battery providing up to three hours of viewing time. With a 20-watt speaker, it’s the perfect entertainment companion for outdoor settings. You can adjust its touchscreen for various viewing angles, and it supports AirPlay, iOS, Android devices, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
4. ‘Sustainable Sound: Urbanista Malibu’
Urbanista has unveiled the Malibu, a compact speaker that’s both eco-friendly and innovative. Made from recycled plastic and materials, it’s the world’s first solar-charging wireless speaker with integrated Powerfoyle solar cell technology. When exposed to indoor or outdoor light, the Malibu charges itself. It’s fully waterproof with an IP67 rating, making it versatile for various environments. There’s also a Malibu mobile companion app that allows users to customize equalizer settings and monitor its live light-charging and historical data.
