Some of the Most Exciting Announcements from CES 2017 So Far

It is virtually impossible to follow everything that goes on during CES. Not being there physically makes it even harder. I usually just wait for a few articles and videos from people attending and see what’s going on. Never too closely interested unless something big happens.

This year, even deep in my cocoon, some CES news has reached me. Here are some of the most exciting this I’ve heard of, read or watched from CES 2017:

LG Ultra thin Wallpaper TV:

LG have announced a new TV, W7 OLED, that’s so thin, it is like a wallpaper on your wall. Like for real. It can’t even stand on it’s own. It is as thin as a coin, thinner than some coins. You have to have it on the wall. Read more here.

Faraday’s Future Unveils Electric Car:

Faraday Future have unveiled their first car, FF91. It accelerates faster than the TESLA cars. It looks like something out of this world, and will be most likely be very expensive. Read more here.

Intel’s VR Headset that turns room into game:

Pretty ambitious here. Intel has made a Virtual Reality headset that scans a real life room first and then creates a replica of it with gaming features. They call it merged reality. Read more here.

Samsung and Google partner for Chromebook Pro and Plus:

This one looks really good. Has the best design I’ve seen on a laptop and also runs Android Apps. Samsung and Google have the best answer to the iPad Pro and the Microsoft Surface. I want either of these two. Read more here.

ASUS 8GB RAM Phone:

ASUS have decided to make a phone with 8GB RAM to support both Google Daydream and Google Tango. Yes Augmented and Virtual Reality support on one phone. They’ve also unveiled a camera phone that can shoot 94MP pictures. Read more here.
