Roborock Launches Roborock Saros 10 ‒ Ultra-Slim Robotic Vacuum Flagship with RetractSense Navigation System

Roborock has unveiled its latest flagship, the Saros 10, at CES 2025, introducing cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance cleaning efficiency and convenience. Key features include the innovative RetractSense Navigation System, which allows the robot’s LiDAR module to retract, enabling it to navigate under low-clearance areas while maintaining a 100-degree field of view. This system enhances navigation precision and allows the robot to clean more areas without getting stuck.

The Saros 10 is equipped with Reactive AI 3.0, combining front and lateral sensors for improved obstacle detection, including around irregular walls and cables. Additionally, its Dual Anti-Tangle System ensures smooth operation by preventing hair tangles using specialized brushes.

For deep cleaning, the Saros 10 boasts 22,000Pa HyperForce suction power and VibraRise 4.0 mopping technology. The mop features dual sonic vibrations and enhanced pressure for better stain removal, and its detachable function prevents moisture from affecting carpets. The robot also includes an improved RockDock Ultra 2.0 charging dock with advanced features like Hot Water Mop Washing and 2.5-Hour Fast Charge for efficient recharging.

The updated Roborock App includes SmartPlan 2.0, which uses AI to adjust cleaning settings based on environment and usage, and the robot is compatible with voice commands via Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Home. It also supports the Matter 1.4 Protocol for seamless integration with various smart home systems.

Availability and Price

Set to launch in January 2025, the Roborock Saros 10 combines advanced cleaning technologies with an intuitive user experience, making it a strong contender in the high-performance robotic vacuum market. Pricing is to be announced.

Belkin’s new accessory is a magnetic power bank and camera grip rolled into one

Belkin has a new phone accessory at CES 2025 that somehow brings something fresh to the crowded field of magnetic charging accessories (in other words, MagSafe and non-Apple-certified alternatives). The company’s Stage PowerGrip is a wireless power bank, camera-like grip and stand rolled into one. It even has a little screen and comes in several fun colors.

Belkin pitches the PowerGrip as an accessory for creators and travelers. While modern smartphones are all most people need for photography, holding a candy-bar-shaped handset in landscape mode for long periods doesn’t feel as comfortable or natural as the heartier grip of a dedicated camera. This accessory remedies that with a thick bulge similar to what you’d find on a DSLR or mirrorless camera.

Six colors of the Belkin Stage PowerGrip accessory against a white background.
Belkin

Inside that lump is its 10,000mAh battery, which offers 7.5W magnetic wireless charging. An LED on its backside gives you a quick way to check its battery level. And a retractable USB-C cable is tucked inside the accessory, so you don’t need to remember to throw a separate one in your bag.

Belkin says the PowerGrip will be available in powder blue, sandbox, fresh yellow, pepper and lavender (the company’s press images show a sixth black option, too). It’s scheduled to ship this May. Unfortunately, Belkin hasn’t yet announced pricing.

United will start testing Starlink on flights in February

United Airlines has announced plans to start testing Starlink on flights in February, and eventually add SpaceX’s satellite internet service to its entire fleet. The company first announced a partnership with SpaceX to “set a new standard of inflight connectivity” in September 2024.

After testing, United expects the first commercial flight with Starlink to be on a United Embraer E-175 in the spring. The rest of the the airline’s “two-cabin regional fleet” will have Starlink installed throughout 2025, and United says it will have the “first mainline Starlink-enabled plane in the air” before the end of year. 

Starlink will available for free to all members of United’s MileagePlus program. Besides improving the quality of inflight Wi-Fi, United sees Starlink as an opportunity to “unlock new partnership” for its members. Do not be surprised if United cooks up new deals with streaming services to offer more free content during flights.

United is joining both Delta and Hawaiian Airlines in partnering with Starlink for inflight Wi-Fi. SpaceX originally announced its intentions to offer 350 Mbps internet speeds to planes in 2022, and both Delta and Haiwaiian Airlines have either tested Starlink or committed to offering it on their planes.

Starlink has expanded in some serious ways in the last year. SpaceX got to test Starlink’s direct-to-cell satellite service with T-Mobile during Hurricane Milton’s landfall in the US, made plans for a larger beta test of the service for February and launched a nationwide satellite texting service in New Zealand.

Samsung CES 2025 press conference: Watch it here Monday at 5PM ET

Samsung's CES 2025 theme is
Samsung’s CES 2025 theme is “AI for all.”
Samsung

Samsung is the 800-pound gorilla of CES, a global electronics giant that produces mobile devices, TVs and home theater products and kitchen appliances — just to name a few. It’s traditionally used CES to remind the world that it’s a major competitor in all those arenas, while offering a peek behind the curtain of some more cutting-edge tech, too. 

In 2024, for instance, Samsung’s CES press conference covered all the usual iterative updates — new TVs, new projectors, new soundbars — but also offered up some genuinely futuristic product first looks as well. And while we won’t see the transparent MicroLED screens at the local Best Buy anytime soon, you can already buy the Music Frame speaker that was first shown off at CES 2024. But it’s the Ballie robot, a two-time CES veteran, that we’re most hoping will make a return appearance — ideally with a real-world release date this time.

Or perhaps Ballie will be more autonomous this time around. That would better fit the “AI for All: Everyday, Everywhere” theme that the company has announced for its presentation in Las Vegas. The Korea-based giant has already posted several weeks worth of early CES announcements in its online newsroom, touting AI-enhanced refrigerators and appliances with built-in screens. But there’s non-AI stuff, too: Samsung has preannounced a 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor, and the company is teaming up with Google (!) to deliver Eclipsa, a new 3D audio technology that is apparently aiming to be an alternative to Dolby Atmos and DTS. 

One thing you shouldn’t expect to see in Vegas: The presumed Galaxy S25 smartphone line. If it follows its recent scheduling, Samsung will likely slate that unveiling for the second half of January, when it will have the tech news spotlight to itself. (Last year it was a January 17 event, which was announced on January 11.)

You can watch the Samsung CES press conference as it happens here. The feed will start Monday, January 6 at 5:00PM ET. (We’ll add the embed once it becomes available.)
