About

The reference for AI-first devices.

A new device category is forming around AI as the primary interface — pins, rings, glasses, recorders, and pocket assistants. The mainstream tech press treats these as one-off curiosities. We treat them as the start of something.

The New Hardware exists to be the independent reference for that category: a place to compare what works, what doesn't, and what just died.

Standardised scoring

Every device is rated against the same 10-criteria rubric so you can compare apples to apples.

Failure tracking

We document devices that get discontinued — including ones we previously liked.

Independent

Affiliate links never influence a score. Sponsored content is clearly labelled.

Operated by

Hakan Esen, an operator and builder based in Turkey. Reach out at hello@thenewhardware.com.

Want to be reviewed?

We accept review units from manufacturers without preconditions. Receiving a unit never changes the score. If you ship hardware in the AI device category, write to press@thenewhardware.com.
