Engadget names best tech of 2026 in first review roundup

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Engadget has released its first selection of the best products of 2026, based on review scores. Among the top-rated devices are the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, noted for its massive screen and high price, and the Dell XPS 13, which performs significantly better with 16GB of RAM compared to the base 8GB model. The roundup also features the Qalo SL-1 screenless fitness tracker, which is considered a viable but expensive alternative to devices like the Whoop Wearable, and the Una watch, praised for its modular design and ease of repair.
