CES 2026 in Las Vegas saw major announcements from Samsung and LG, both showcasing how AI and robotics are reshaping the modern home. Samsung introduced its AI Beauty Mirror, positioned as an intelligent personal beauty platform that analyzes even the invisible conditions of your skin. Built around a hybrid mirror display, sensors, and on-device AI, it combines a polarized mirror and a half mirror, using multi-spectrum skin analysis based on RGB, UV, and polarization to generate tailored skincare recommendations. The mirror integrates AMOREPACIFIC’s research expertise to assess skin condition and recommend personalized skincare products. It also offers personal color recommendations powered by TWINIT’s AI engine, analyzing skin tone, eyes, and lips to create a palette for more confident styling. Samsung also debuted SmartThings Pet Care with Pet Disease Detection, using AI Vision to analyze photos for conditions including dental issues, patellar luxation, and cataracts in just three seconds, drawing on a database of over 10,000 cases. Samsung’s Transparent Micro LED display offers a true glass-like appearance with high transparency and outstanding image clarity, achieving higher maximum brightness than traditional transparent OLEDs. The company also showcased The Frame Pro with Wireless One Connect, enabling flexible installation and a cleaner setup using Wi-Fi 7. Meanwhile, LG Electronics demonstrated the LG CLOiD home robot as part of its Zero Labor Home vision. CLOiD is designed to perform and coordinate household tasks across connected appliances, integrating with LG’s ThinQ ecosystem. Demo scenarios included the robot retrieving milk from a refrigerator, placing a croissant into an oven, initiating laundry cycles after occupants leave, and folding and stacking garments after drying. CLOiD features a head, torso with two articulated arms, and a wheeled base, with seven degrees of freedom per arm and five independently actuated fingers. LG frames CLOiD’s core intelligence as Physical AI, combining a Vision Language Model and Vision Language Action model trained on tens of thousands of hours of household task data. LG also revived its Wallpaper TV concept with the LG OLED evo W6, a nine-millimeter-class True Wireless OLED TV with a Zero Connect Box placing inputs up to 10 meters away [citation:8].
