The new year’s CES (International Consumer Electronics Show) has kicked off, giving people a glimpse of the general trend of the technology industry in the coming year. From January 8 to 11, more than 180,000 people and 4,400 companies will gather in Las Vegas to participate in the 2019 CES. Many companies follow the pace of CES and use this annual stage to showcase their products and technologies. The five-day exhibition is bound to attract the attention of technology media around the world. For many exhibitors, this is their largest display platform throughout the year. From to Samsung to many start-ups, companies large and small will appear on the stage, vying to attract everyone's attention. What new products and technologies will appear at this year's consumer electronics event? What major trends will emerge? Let's take a look.
Because there are so many products at the exhibition, we can only show some of them to you. Interested students can continue to pay attention to CES 2019. We will also compile a list of new products in the next few days.
5G:
There is no doubt that 5G will be the focus of CES.
Qualcomm The recently launched 5G-enabled Snapdragon 855 processor is bound to affect various products that will be released in Las Vegas. The network speed of 5G is expected to be 1,000 times that of 4G LTE. This will enable things like 4K live video streaming, which will obviously help with the movie-watching experience as well, but also with remote open-heart surgery.
The future will be an era where everything is always online.
Cars:
In recent years, CES has included more and more car elements, and it has increasingly become a stage for more and more car manufacturers to showcase their latest models and cutting-edge technologies, and autonomous driving is one of the most important topics.
This year is no exception. Travel-related technology companies from all over the world will go to Las Vegas.
Baidu regards CES as one of the most important outposts every year and one of the stages to show its important achievements to the world. Baidu will release the latest autonomous driving capabilities and product implementation progress of the Apollo 3.5 platform at this year's CES.
And Byton will also appear at the 2019 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA, and announce many details of the BYTON M-Byte model that it plans to mass-produce this year based on previous concept cars.
Among them, Byton said that the iconic 48-inch shared full screen will be completely retained in the production car. This screen is the largest car screen to date on a mass-produced vehicle, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
At the same time, in terms of driving safety, the position of the screen has been repeatedly demonstrated and will not affect the driver's sight. The brightness of the screen can also be adjusted according to changes in ambient lighting to ensure it does not disturb the driver, and this full-screen display will meet all car-level safety standards and crash standards for all target markets.
Hongqi’s “Qijing” smart cabin will also appear at this CES exhibition to showcase Hongqi’s future technology and concepts to consumers. This will also be the first time that the Hongqi brand participates in the CES exhibition.
According to the official introduction, this "Qijing" smart cabin takes the "five senses" of the human body (vision, hearing, smell, touch, and perception) as the entry point, and uses corresponding technologies to bring a multi-dimensional travel experience to the experiencer. And what "magical power" it has will probably not be revealed until the official opening of the CES show.
VR and AR technology:
VR and AR technologies have undoubtedly successfully dazzled users a few years ago! However, it only lit up for a moment, like a flash in the pan, and then fell silent when it was most brilliant. Due to network environment, technical bottlenecks and other factors, it was not easy to implement AR and VR technology. In addition, the lack of content and unclear profit models are also the main reasons for the slow development of these two technologies.
However, the arrival of 5G network has opened up barriers for VR/AR technology at least in terms of network transmission. It seems that wireless VR helmets will at least be thinner and lighter, and can be more like glasses. In addition, the viewing experience may become more comfortable due to the reduced response delay.In addition, OculusQuest, released in September 2018, is expected to be released in the spring of 2019. Will this independent fully wireless VR helmet still appear at CES2019? In addition, we will also pay extra attention to HTC’s press conference at CES2019. Perhaps new products in the VIVE series will appear again.
Today, more and more companies choose to announce major news through press conferences prepared by themselves. In addition, there is still more than a month until the opening of Mobile World Congress (MWC), and as we all know, this will make many smartphone manufacturers pay less attention to the CES stage.
Despite this, it is expected that several mobile phones will be unveiled at this CES.
TCL notified the media that it plans to launch a new Alcatel smartphone at the next Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. However, at the same time, TCL's BlackBerry brand will not be updated for the time being, so it will not appear at that time. Any new BlackBerry phone.
is about to appear at CES. Alcatel's new mobile phone will be TCL's first smartphone to be released in 2019. At present, it is only known that TCL's brother company CSOT will be responsible for the design and production of the phone. More specific configuration information is not yet known.
Zhu Yilong’s customized version of Lenovo Z5s will also appear at CES.
Samsung:
The Samsung Galaxy series, which disdains notch screens, is trying to make OLED screens a new sound-producing device. At CES2019, Samsung will demonstrate its screen sound technology to replace traditional speaker equipment.
Samsung’s “The Wall” MicroLED TV debuted at CES 2018.
Advances in MicroLED and OLED technology will make TVs larger and clearer. Last year, Samsung launched a large 146-inch wall-mounted TV, while LG launched a 65-inch bendable OLED TV. Expect more iterations of this type of product as the two companies try to outdo each other again.
According to Bloomberg, although last year’s bendable screen TV was just a prototype, at this year’s show, LG should show off a similar product that you can actually buy. This means you won't have a giant black square taking up a large section of the wall when you're not watching TV.
Samsung's MicroLED technology should compete more head-on with OLED TVs from LG and Sony; MicroLED panels are equally thin and colorful, but are technically brighter and cheaper.
Laptop "Odyssey", this is the most powerful Samsung gaming notebook to date, and it is also Samsung's first attempt to enter the e-sports notebook market. It's not that Samsung isn't already making gaming laptops, as the company's Odyssey series has been around for a while. But the new laptop Odyssey goes even further.
Samsung has equipped this notebook with its new top-of-the-line RTX 2080 GPU as well as an eighth-generation six-core Intel Core i7 processor upgrade (Samsung hasn't said which one, probably the i7-8850H) and 16GB of RAM. The display is a 1080p, 15.6-inch screen with a 144Hz refresh rate. Storage is 256GB NVMe SSD and 1TB HDD, and they can be replaced by the user at any time. This upgrade also brings a USB-C port, three USB-A ports and an HDMI jack.
Samsung has also introduced a new design (a visually weird center hinge), which does not look like a "GAMING LAPTOP" in the traditional sense.
Although no price or exact release date has been announced, the Odyssey notebook should be available first in the United States sometime in early 2019.
Huawei :
The news that Huawei will enter the TV market has been rumored in the industry for a long time. Due to its global influence in the smartphone market, Huawei's move has also received great attention. Recently, foreign media reported that Huawei’s TV products will enter the Australian market through the distribution network in 2019. If everything goes well, Huawei will exhibit its TV products at the 2019 CES exhibition.
According to reports, Huawei TV will use Kirin processors, with resolution specifications including 4K and 8K, and the product will be positioned in the mid-to-high-end market. Surprisingly, reports claim that the TV product line will be placed under the Honor brand.What is surprising is that this wave of new TVs may be able to interoperate with Huawei mobile products through the 5G network, and can even be regarded as a huge extended screen for mobile phones.
Huawei also released the " Kunpeng 920" chip, which was exhibited at this year's CES.
It is understood that Kunpeng 920 and Kirin 980 are built on the same 7nm process and are independently designed by Huawei. Most of the performance improvements come from optimized branch prediction algorithms, increased OP computing plans and improved memory subsystem architecture.
Kunpeng 920 has 64 built-in cores, a main frequency of 2.6GH, and is paired with 8-channel DDR4 memory. Compared with competing products, the memory bandwidth has increased by 46%, the total I/O bandwidth has increased by 66%, and the network bandwidth has increased by 4 times. At the same time, it includes two 100G RoCE ports, supporting PCIe Gen4 and CCIX.
In the SPECint benchmark test, Kunpeng 920 scored more than 930 points, nearly 25% higher than the industry benchmark, while reducing power consumption by 30%.
Xu Wenwei said: "Huawei continues to innovate in the computing field to create value for customers. We believe that with the advent of the smart society, the computing market will continue to grow in the future, and we will cooperate with the world in the spirit of development, collaboration, and sharing. Cooperate with partners to promote the development of the ARM ecosystem, expand the computing field, and embrace the diversified computing era. "
Sony:
Generally speaking, Sony will use CES as a platform to release the new Xperia. This year CES may release the Xperia XA3/XA3 Ultra. , but there are also rumors that Sony will not release major new products in mobile phones. In addition, Sony TV is also a highlight. Last year at CES, in order to meet the diverse needs of consumers, Sony launched the new BRAVIAOLED TV A8F series - still equipped with Sony's unique 4KHDR image processing chip X1 advanced version and screen sound field technology; as well as a combination of Sony's multiple innovative patents LCD TV X9000F series.
LG:
At last year’s CES, LG showed off its “curled OLED screen”, which was an eye-opener. What surprises will LG bring to us at this year’s CES?
According to Korean media reports, LG Electronics will release a 65-inch foldable TV prototype. The OLED display of the TV can be rolled up like a projector screen. LG has demonstrated foldable TV panels before, and now it has gone one step further to show off a foldable TV, the first of its kind in the industry.
