Now simply known as CES, not the Consumer Electronics Show, the biggest technology show on the calendar is nearly upon us. While you’re sleeping off your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, we’ll be jetting off to Las Vegas so here’s what to expect from CES 2017 from Samsung, Sony, LG and more. Find the best tech deals.
We’re making our final preparations and will bring you full coverage of all the new technology which is coming in 2017 including phones , tablets , laptops , wearables , TVs and more. The days are long and the nights are even longer but here’s what we expect to find once we touchdown in Nevada and the home of the bright lights.
Here we’ve also outlined the dates and times for press conferences in case that’s helpful.
At CES 2016 Samsung announced a range of devices including the Galaxy TabPro S Windows tablet, new Gear S2 smartwatch models and, as usual, new TVs and home appliances. You can certainly expect more of the time for those latter two categories, including SUHD sets, and we’re hoping for new Windows devices -perhaps a Galaxy TabPro S 2.
We expected there to be a lack of smartphones, with the Galaxy S8 and any other mobiles expected to be released at MWC in Barcelona. However, Samsung has now announced its new Galaxy A series for 2017.
Samsung’s press conference is scheduled for 4 January 14:00-14:45 PT.
Like Samsung you can bet LG will have a bunch of new TVs (expect a continued focus on OLED panels) and home appliances to launch at CES 2017.
LG seems to have stopped making tablets and while we could see some new laptops along the lines of the LG gram 15 seen this year (above), it seems mid-range smartphones are more likely.
