CES 2019: Tech trends to watch for at the consumer electronics show

Показать описание

With more than 4,400 exhibiting companies and more than 2.7 million square feet of exhibition hall, CES is overwhelming. Here's what to expect from the upcoming show, from A.I. and self-driving cars to 5G networks and 8K televisions.

Tech shapes our daily life, impacting not just how we read and work and play but how we interact, how we learn, how we grow. And just days from now in Las Vegas, CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) will give us a window into what that will look like.

Unfortunately, it’s a really big window.

With more than 4,400 exhibiting companies and more than 2.7 million square feet of exhibition hall, it’s hard to glimpse tomorrow; that window is plastered in banner ads for Alexa, new televisions, and more iPhone cases than you can shake a fanboy at. Let me do the work for you. I’ve read the 687 emails I received in the last three weeks and synthesized all the announcements from LG, Samsung, Sony, Qualcomm, and everyone else. Here’s my list of the large trends that we’ll see in 2019, to help you make sense of the wonderful, mesmerizing chaos that is CES 2019.

You can’t have a CES without some crazy new display technology, whether that’s a giant TV screen that rolls-up like the posters from your college dorm room or an 8K set with so many pixels you’ll want to pop the news anchor’s zits yourself. Ahead of this year’s show, we’ve been panting like a dog during summer over rumored announcements about smartphones that either roll up or simply fold in half to better fit your pocket. With Samsung, LG, and Huawei all doing the “will they, won’t they” dance, it’s hard to say for sure whether we’ll see one. My guess? Abso-freaking-lutely. And as usual, Samsung will lead the innovation charge.

Yes, there will be voice-powered devices at CES. Yes, there will be smart speakers running Alexa, and yes, Google Home will be embedded in TVs and lightbulbs and other things. But A.I. goes well beyond simply telling you what to wear.

t’s been hard to miss brands shouting about their efforts to bring 5G networks to the world over the past few years. With substantially faster speeds and vastly lower latency times, the next-generation networking technology will interconnect everything from cars to computers to smart homes. Like the Internet back in 1999, this will change everything.

It’s ironic that we see the quality difference between 4K and 8K through a smartphone display that is capable of less than or equal to Full HD resolution.

When technology outgrows the market needs...

Man they really should've given people back the Oled 3d It's unbelievable they took away a whole tech

8K?! Lol, can we get Hollywood and content creators to commit to 4K first? What a waste of resources!

So basically you haven't said, nor shown anything.

I'm the type of person that always changes the call word of a device to something not normally used in these sorts of tech videos.

Is HDMI 2.1 in usb-c form? If not, should be.

Do you hear yourself? How can you make exciting tech sound boring?

I don't care about 8k unless it's in a VR headset

7:41 and then someone bumps into your car and then your suit gets stained from coffee and you get 2nd degree burns,

8k is irrelevant, as a matter of fact smart TV's will be obsolete in the not to distant future. There are no current CPU's or GPU's that are strong enough to run a game at 8k res. In fact as far I know there aren't any 8k games out there, so what's the point? 4K VR headsets like the "Pimax 5K Plus or 8K" with extreme wide field viewing are the future. If consumer reviews are positive about the Pimax VR headset later this year I'll be getting one myself. ^^
