Welcome to the February 2026 Edition of NXT. This issue’s main feature is all about luxury that adapts. In 2026, premium tech isn’t defined by a louder logo or a shinier finish — it’s defined by movement. Devices now reshape time, space, and self, blending craftsmanship with intelligence that feels calm, precise, and intentionally restrained. Wearables don’t just track sleep; they coach recovery. Beauty tools replace guesswork with micro-zone analysis and targeted treatment that feels like a plan, not a hope.
At home, the new flex isn’t square footage — it’s configurable volume: living spaces that expand, screens that unfurl when you need a bigger canvas, and transparent displays that turn the TV from a black rectangle into part of the architecture. The future of high-end tech is no longer about owning rare objects — it’s about owning rare feelings: calm, clarity, and control.
Under the Special Gear section, we have featured our own pick of the CES 2026 top 10 new products.
Plus, a special feature of 8 pages on this year’s CES 2026 round-up.
Our NXT Clarissa has tested out the new Pixel Pro 10 XL. The new Pixel 10 Pro XL makes better photos feel almost automatic.
Over in Test, from page 79, we went hands-on with two very different takes on “premium.” First up: the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 — a luxury listen that doubles down on comfort, polish, and that signature warm, detailed tuning.
Then we switched gears to the HONOR Magic8 Pro, a flagship built for power users, pairing top-tier performance with a camera system.
Lastly, for NXT Big Thing, we’re betting on CES 2027 — and what the next wave of premium tech could look like after 2026’s “physical AI” pivot.
NXT is available at all major newsstands, bookstores, and the digital version is available to download at magzter.com
