But folks , the Consumer Electronics Show is happening — bare mean solar day from now , in fact — which mean that the Gizmodo staff will be heading to Sin City to handle the conference ’s most innovative , peculiar , and covetable tech at the event .
If you ’ve missed some of the word and hearsay lead up to this twelvemonth ’s event , we ’ve scram you covered . From this year ’s oddball visual aspect to wearables to sex tech , here ’s what you’re able to count onwards to hearing about during this year ’s consumer tech showcase in Las Vegas .
Foldables
One of last year’sCES highlightswas the FlexPai , a folding phone from Royole — and while orderly , it also blow . But it did kick off a big year forfoldable technical school . Then , in mid-2019 , Lenovo showed off a concept laptop computer with a pliable OLED display but did n’t reveal anything about price , spectacles , or even an prescribed name , which makes CES a perfect time for Lenovo to follow up with newfangled developments .
And with Microsoft having surprised everyone with multipledual - filmdom gadgetslast fall , we ’re expecting even more treble - CRT screen system from other laptop makers , especially following releases like theOmen disco biscuit 2SandZenBook Pro Duofrom HP and Asus back in the fall . Like it or not , there ’s a big wave of dual - screen notebook on the way .
Mountains More Wireless Earbuds
The sea of option for a truly wireless earbud grows steady by the day , intend no one is really forced to contend with Apple ’s one sizing — and one very high price!—fits all AirPods ( even the AirPods Pro buds with their silicon tipsaren’t for everyone ) . In 2019 we reviewed several veritable AirPods competitor in theJaybird Vista , theMaster & Dynamic MW07 , andPowerbeats Pro . But everyone ’s search to muscle their way into the space . Hell , even Amazon is look to get intowireless earbuds . In other words , expect quite a few of them to cultivate up at CES .
Apple
Well , well , well ! Look who decide to show up at this year ’s hottest technical school political party after publiclyshaming its competitorsduring last twelvemonth ’s event !
That ’s right , Apple ’s senior director of global privacy Jane Horvath isset to speakalongside other tech giant moguls during aChief Privacy Officer Roundtableon Tuesday . ( The panel will also , ironically , include an appearance by an executive for secrecy citadel and known shielder of the people Facebook . ) Apple will also promote its HomeKit , andBloombergreported this week that the company is “ likely to wrap out young package capabilities . ” But do n’t expect new hardware .
We Have the Meats

8K Expansions
CES is home plate to impressive debut ofmasterclass displays(if nothighly , extremely expensiveones ) . Samsung , Sony , and LG will all be expanding their 8 K lineups , so expect to hear plenty on this front at this yr ’s event . Perhaps some rollable TVs to seem forward to ?
Wearable and Pleasure Tech
Elsewhere , as always , carry more wearables in the health family . Many of the change to tech in this category may be iterative , but expect to see hybrid devices and advances in medical applications and wellness tracking .
Politics
Technology and institution are inherently political , from security and privacy to societal province to manufacturing to lobbying efforts and foreign trade wind . But government are n’t necessarily always front - of - mind at a consumer trade show . This class , CES is ensuring they will be .
The league ishostinga “ fireside New World chat ” with Ivanka Trump and CTA chief Gary Shapiro for a treatment about “ how the administration is advocating for employer - led strategy that invest in reskilling doer , create apprenticeships and grow K-12 STEM Department of Education programs . ” In a extremely controversial move , the trade show named her akeynote speaker . This , copulate with the ongoingHuawei mess , and atrade war with Chinathat ’s concenter on technology guarantee that no one will be escaping the politics of tech at this twelvemonth ’s effect .
AMD Gets Serious About Laptops
Last year , AMD surprise attender with itsAMD Radeon VIIprocessor . It ’s potential AMD could upstage Intel and Nvidia again this yr , with the ship’s company ’s chief operating officer Dr. Lisa Su rumour to be announcingRyzen 4000 APUs . These APUs would probably be mobile - based processor intended to compete against Intel offerings likethose Ice Lake CPUs we keep praise , and the Comet Lake ones that have left us upset .
This is by no means an thorough inclination , but it should give you a goodness of the plate of announcement we ’re look to be announced in the coming hebdomad as intelligence trickles out of the conference . We ’ll be on the terra firma keeping tab key on all the highlighting , so be sure to check back with us to make trusted you do n’t escape a beat .
