Hisense S6 FollowMe TV in a living room environment

The 32-inch TV is a smart display with far-field mics onboard.

 Hisense

If you're looking for the '20s equivalent of the old TV and VCR on a cart, then Hisense's new S6 FollowMe is a smart display that you can drag around with you. It's not a robot, though, I am sad to report.

This little guy, announced in advance of CES 2026, is a 32-inch 4K resolution smart screen with far-field mics and a built-in camera. It's designed to be used for video calling, streaming or searching the internet. The smart display has an antiglare, low-reflection panel and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and the onboard battery is good for up to 10 hours of use. 

Though Hisense originally claimed the TV "follows users throughout the home" and is able to "transition effortlessly from floor to table height," the company has clarified that the television's movement is entirely manual.  

Unlike Samsung's Ballie or Amazon's Astro robot, the FollowMe isn't an anthropomorphic display but a literal TV on wheels. The FollowMe appears to be similar to Samsung's "dumb" Movingstyle -- a smart display that you wheel out manually when you need it and doesn't look at you expectantly when you're not using it.

Hisense's press release was careful not to mention AI beyond a smart TV assistant, but I suspect the FollowMe uses Google TV and Google Gemini. AI is creeping into everything, as Seamus O'Reilly wrote in The Gist, especially when it's not needed. In the FollowMe's case, though, you can simply leave it in the other room.

Don't miss any of our unbiased tech content and lab-based reviews. Add CNET as a preferred Google source.

The Hisense S6 FollowMe display will be available in the United States beginning May 1, 2026. We don't know the price yet, but the similar-looking Samsung Movingstyle costs $1,200. 

Correction 5:02 p.m. ET: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported the TV's abilities. The company has since stated that the TV can only be moved manually and doesn't move by itself.
