After my trip to Macau-based Beyond Expo, I also traveled across China to find some of the most exciting technologies on the market.
I attended the Global Connect Show in the futuristic Chinese city of Shenzhen and discovered some pretty interesting products.
Some are new, some already on the market, and others that will likely need a little more work before they become widespread.
Read on to discover my hand-picked selection of the best technologies from GCS 2026.
Cozyla Calendar+ 2
There are many different ways to organize your family life, but I was very impressed with what I saw from Cozyla – especially the Calendar+ 2.
Yes, it’s big (this will be a plus for some and a negative for those short on space), but it’s a nifty device with a smart interface to incorporate all the standard family routines that are often forgotten.
The user interface is simpler than Amazon’s alternatives, and the screen comes in sizes ranging from 15.6 inches to 32 inches, with a 24-inch sweet spot in the middle. It connects to major services including Apple, Outlook, and Google, and comes with several widgets and also has plenty of meal planning features.

iClever Q950
We cover and review just about all the best headphones from brands like Sony, Bowers & Wilkins, and Bose. The iClever Q950 could prove just as capable, although for a very different reason.
These colorful cans are aimed at children and are the first pair to achieve TÜV Hearing Care certification, which encompasses hearing safety, acoustic performance, adaptive audio care and proactive hearing protection.
Basically, these headphones control volume exposure, optimize clarity in noisy environments, and encourage safer listening habits.

But they also contain features we’ve come to expect, like ANC, which will be useful for long travel days.
Write AI pen
$199 may seem a bit steep for a pen, but the Scriben is much more than just a ballpoint pen.
This device can capture conversations and turn them into structured transcripts and summaries while also functioning as a pen. It supports multilingual translation, stores 64GB of data, and lasts 18 hours per charge.
Rokid AI Glasses
I’ve yet to use AI glasses that really look like something I’d use on a daily basis, although this latest pair from Rokid certainly seems better than most.
A key factor here is weight. At 38.5g, the AI Glasses don’t feel too heavy on your face and sit quite naturally. No one will confuse them with standard glasses, but they are certainly more minimal than many options on the market.

Inside there are of course AI skills with support for ChatGPT and DeepSeek, as well as real-time translation and Google Maps navigation skills.
Ocjoy Air Diffusion Oral Irrigation
The name may not roll off the tongue, but this oral care product, created by a doctor of dentistry, could be revolutionary.
Designed as an alternative to the toothbrush, this micro-air cleaning system delivers bands of air to your teeth, removing stubborn stains.

It’s a pretty bulky product – compared to a toothbrush, anyway – but it has the potential to be great.
