Samsung The Frame and The Frame Pro (2026)

Samsung’s 2026 lineup of lifestyle TVs, consisting of The Frame and The Frame Pro, doesn’t mess too much with a proven formula. Each looks identical to its predecessor, placing a TV in a picture frame so that it can be disguised as a piece of digital art when the TV isn’t playing. What’s new, aside from the typical picture upgrades and improved glare-free technology, is that The Frame has built-in connections rather than housing them in a separate box (which connects to the TV via a thin cable). The Frame Pro still uses the company’s Wireless One Connect Box, which transmits the signal up to 30 feet away for all its connections and has an updated Neo QLED 4K display that promises a better picture with greater contrast. Both models will be available in sizes ranging from 55 to 85 inches.

Prometheus Design Werx SPD UFO 2.0

Based on the brand’s CAS OTF, which was a California-legal out-the-front knife, this version is bigger, badder and just plain better — although it is a full-sized auto, which comes with legal restrictions. It measures 8.15 inches total, with 3.25 of those inches made up by its MagnaCut drop-point blade and the rest made up by its aluminum billet handle. It also has a glow-in-the-dark inlay on its slider mechanism for easier low-light use.

Maap ALUULA Tech Tote

Yes, this tote is expensive at $145. However, its high price point is justified when considering what it’s constructed with: ALUULA Graflyte, the latest darling of the technical material world. Whether you’re on a bike, hike or the daily commute, the Tech Tote can match your pace, thanks to its unparalleled blend of durability, light weight, water resistance and its unmatched strength-to-weight ratio. Premium webbing handles, paired with a packable design and high (albeit unspecified) volume.

2027 Kia EV3

Having already debuted in other markets around the world, Kia’s EV3 is finally coming to the United States. As the automaker’s entry-level all-electric SUV, it targets a much more affordable price point, though it’s not lacking in its specs. When equipped with the long-range battery pack, Kia estimates a max all-electric range of 320 miles, and 10-80 percent DC fast-charging takes as little as 29 minutes. On the performance side, the EV3 GT puts down 288 horsepower (up from 261 hp on AWD EV3 models), and an available Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) and Active Sound Design (ASD) further enhance driving engagement and help deliver a more spirited experience. What’s more, Kia is including plenty of upscale touches, like V2L capability, a comprehensive suite of ADAS features and a combined 30 inches of dash display.

Rothy’s Cruiser Loafer in Tidal Stripe

Rothy’s Cruiser Loafer features a soft, breathable woven synthetic upper, and the brand’s signature quilted footbed provides exceptional cushioning. The gum rubber outsole has a chevron grip texture for strong traction. Best of all, it is designed to be machine-washed and air-dried as easily as a pair of jeans.

GCI’s latest affordable portable outdoor seating option dovetails classic rocker appeal with contemporary updates for a relaxed repose from the sidelines to the campsite. Highlights include the brand’s beloved spring-action rocking tech, a tall backrest, ergonomic armrests, a combo beverage and phone holder, cool mesh materials and a padded shoulder strap for comfortable carry. Available in black and blue colorways and supported by a sturdy steel frame, the chair weighs in at a respectable 12.7 pounds.

Straum Jan Mayen Titanium Purple Borealis

Straum’s impressive integrated sports watch adds another showstopping dial to its arsenal with the limited-edition Purple Borealis. The dial’s color was inspired by STEVE, which is not some guy named Steve. Instead, it stands for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement and is an atmospheric event in which superheated plasma blasts through the upper atmosphere at high speed, appearing as a streak of glowing purple light in the sky. The dial features a gradient that changes from dark purple on the bottom to something closer to pink at the top. Limited to 200 pieces in stainless steel or Grade 5 titanium, the watch is equipped with the quick-release Straum Coupling system and comes on an integrated FKM rubber strap, with the option of adding a bracelet to the steel version.

2026 Dodge Durango GT America250 Edition

Dodge is celebrating America’s 250th with another special-edition model. This time, it’s in the form of the Durango, and it’s fittingly called the America250 Edition. Based on the Durango GT trim, the tributary model comes with decked out in patriotic themes both inside and out, including premium interior trim bits such as Black Laguna leather seats with blue contrast perforation, an American flag embossed within and red-and-white contrast stitching. The stitching also carries over onto the steering wheel, along with Demonic Red seat belts, and more. On the outside, the special Durango comes with America250 badges and other vinyl graphics like exterior dual stripes with star patterns, while 20-inch Black Noise wheels complete the aesthetic upgrades. But the best part: the America250 Edition can be equipped with all three of the Durango’s engine options, including the 5.7-liter HEMI V8.
