As CES 2025 closes, TCL, Roborock, Samsung, and other companies have made significant announcements. The best things we saw at the exhibition are compiled here.
CES 2025 Highlights: Here is the list of most remarkable items you shouldn't overlook
Giants like Samsung, Google, Nvidia, Asus, Lenovo, LG, and Dell made CES announcements during the busiest week in technology, along with fresh, creative companies with intriguing ideas. Here are the things that most impressed us in terms of future-impacting technologies and products we believe could be worth purchasing.
At CES, Halliday unveiled smart glasses with an “invisible display,” meaning the display is integrated into the frame, in contrast to most smart glasses on the market today, which have the smart display built into the lens. Wearers are given a field of view comparable to a 3.5-inch screen by what the business refers to as the smallest optical module in the world. To see the display, you must look up.
Naturally, the glasses have AI technology capabilities like turn-by-turn navigation, a teleprompter text, real-time translation in over 40 languages, and more.
Google Releases a Comprehensive Whitepaper on the Potential of Generative AI Agents
TCL introduced the QM6K, an affordable entry-level QLED TV that incorporates the company’s Mini LED technology. The brightness, contrast, and color depth of this TV are similar to those of a much more expensive model from the major TV manufacturers.
However, TCL is selling the 65-inch QM6K for $999, and for the first time at CES, you can even pre-order it now. However, TCL will also give you a Q75H 5.1.2 soundbar (worth $899 retail) for free when you place your preorder. This week, TCL is also selling the 85-inch and 75-inch QM6K models.
IndiaAI’s B.Tech and M.Tech fellowships draw a diverse pool of applications
Even though you might not consider wearing headphones to sleep, these Ozlo Sleepbuds—the official choice for the Best of CES in Wellness—could make you reconsider. They effectively block out outside disturbances in addition to being incredibly comfortable, even for side sleepers.
Additionally, a sleep timer saves battery life by turning off the earbuds after a predetermined time, an earbud alarm can wake you from your nap, and the accompanying app offers ten distinct sleep noises (or masking sounds) for you to choose from.
Of all the TVs tested, the LG G4 OLED TV from the previous year had the best picture quality. It was just a pleasure to watch anything and everything on it because of its amazing contrast and color depth, especially since it had a significant advancement in picture processing that made it possible for it to rival Sony in improving older, lower-quality movies. Even while LG’s MLA technology has improved the brightness in recent years, the one disadvantage was that it just didn’t match the brightness of the various LED TVs, making it less effective in extremely bright settings.
LG’s new G5 OLED TV, which it claims is 40% brighter than the previous year’s TV and has very outstanding initial results, shocked everyone at CES. LG claims that to achieve this increased brightness, it has abandoned MLA and switched to an entirely new technology. We think this might be comparable to the “Tandem OLED” technology found in Apple’s stunning M4 iPad Pro. In the upcoming months, hopefully, we will be able to verify that.
Google is enhancing its Gemini AI by utilizing Claude from Anthropic
Hisense introduced its innovative technology to make its Mini LED TVs have greater contrast and vibrant colors to compete with OLED, while LG was making its OLED TVs brighter to compete with Mini LED TVs.
Instead of simply blaring additional white light, as most backlights do, the new Hisense 116-inch TriChroma LED TV uses tiny red, green, and blue optical lenses in its backlight to produce the largest color range ever seen in a Mini LED display. However, according to Hisense, this TV can achieve 10,000 nits of brightness, making it one of the best in its class. Although this initial version is probably going to be quite costly, it will be intriguing to watch if this technology can eventually bring cutting-edge picture quality to less-priced TV models.
Comparing ChatGPT Plus and Pro, is the upgrade worthwhile?
The Swippitt, which charges your smartphone in only two seconds, is maybe one of the greatest mobile accessories we’ve seen at CES so far. Simply place your phone into the Hub while wearing a compatible battery case, and the Hub will replace the case’s battery with a fresh 3,500mAh cell that should last you the entire day.
Multiple users can use the machine back-to-back because it has five batteries in total. It also has a companion app that lets you check the percentage of your battery and choose the percentage you want it charged to. To avoid using up all of the backup batteries before you need one, you may also make reservations.
Microsoft Loses to Google in Windows Revenue, Says Satya Nadella
At CES, TVs are typically a huge deal, and this year, AI integrations appear to be a recurring theme across new TV models. For instance, HDR Remastering, which raises standard dynamic range video to high dynamic range levels, is one way that Samsung’s new TV lineup uses AI upscaling to improve the appearance of older content.
Features like speech recognition-powered suggestions, an AI chatbot and search, and an LG AI Concierge that remembers your search history and preferences to offer contextual insights based on what’s playing on your screen are all part of LG’s AI-powered TV technology.
Additionally, Google is enhancing the TV experience by integrating its Gemini AI into Google Assistant, which allows you to communicate with your Google TV and pose increasingly sophisticated queries.
OpenAI adds ChatGPT to WhatsApp
Have you ever had to clear your floor of toys, clothing, or other obstructions before using a robot vacuum? A robot vacuum with a mechanical arm that can grasp tiny objects while cleaning is Roborock’s solution.
The mechanical arm of the Roborock Saros Z70 vacuums and mops your floors while removing obstructions under 8 ounces thanks to OmniGrip technology. We are eager to test the flagship model in our homes when it launches in the first half of 2025.
A rollable laptop has replaced foldable phones. Lenovo’s 14-inch laptop with a “rollable” display that can be extended upward over 16 inches pleased us. In addition to being activated by pressing a keyboard button, the expandable display can also be activated by holding your palm out in front of the device and then raising or lowering it.
NVIDIA Reveals Its Most Inexpensive Supercomputer for Generative AI
The purpose of this exoskeleton is to help hikers who require an extra push to reach the summit of a mountain. With its 1 horsepower output, it provides mild support to ease the strain on your hips and quadriceps throughout your gait. Furthermore, an AI-powered motor engine creates spatial models and executes thousands of prediction computations every second to gradually learn your preferred walking style.
Additionally, it can go from 0% to 100% in just over an hour thanks to 65W quick charging.
Even though it’s still only a concept, Samsung’s Micro LED stretchable screen has us smitten. A great white shark and the Las Vegas Sphere physically pushed out of the 7×5-inch screen, producing an unprecedented 3D effect.
In addition to being a truly intriguing idea, we might see this kind of technology used in automobile infotainment systems or to help with accessibility features.
Search on ChatGPT is now free for all users
Six microphones are positioned throughout the frames of the Nuance Audio hearing glasses to record sound, and speakers are positioned above the ear to directly amplify it.
They even feature an eight-hour battery life, and you can change the volume settings and noise-tracking in a companion app.
For AI developers, Nvidia’s Project Digits PC is a desktop computer running Linux. An ARM-based Grace CPU with 10 Cortex-X925 and 10 Cortex-A725 cores (20 total), 128GB of memory, and AI models of up to 200B parameters—that’s data center-level performance in a single desktop—are among its impressive specifications, but its $3,000 starting price makes it unsuitable for the average user.
Perplexity Declares Its Residency Program
Want to reduce the amount of sodium you consume in 2025? With the Kirin Electric Salt Spoon, you may enjoy the flavor of salt without consuming additional calories. Instead of adding salt to your food, it transfers electricity from the spoon to your tongue to make it taste salty.
Unprecedented technologies are introduced at CES, and this year, the first 500W charger in history will be on display. There are six USB ports on Ugreen’s Nexode 500W charger: five USB-C and one USB-A. One USB-C port can handle up to 240W, four more can handle up to 100W apiece, and the USB-A port can only handle up to 20W.
This charger, according to Ugreen, is “powerful enough even for large, power-hungry devices like e-bikes.”
Google DeepMind’s latest Veo 2 AI video creator outperforms OpenAI’s Sora
Movano Health is well-known for its Evie Ring, which was introduced last year. Today at CES, the company unveiled EvieAI, a wellness assistant that users can utilize to get health information from within the Evie app. This AI technology is special because it has been trained on papers from more than 100,000 medical journals, which increases the precision and intricacy of the responses.
According to Movano, the wellness assistant can respond to inquiries about ailments, procedures, or symptoms. EvieAI is currently available in the app for anyone having an Evie Ring.
Thanks to certain significant partnerships we witnessed at CES, smart home appliances are about to become even more intelligent. To begin with, Kidde and Ring are collaborating to introduce a new line of smart smoke and combination detectors that incorporate Ring technology. The Ring app will notify you when the alarms identify dangerously high amounts of smoke or carbon monoxide (CO).
Additionally, Home Depot plans to enter the smart home technology market later this year with its new Hubspace gadgets. These new gadgets include two Vissani air conditioners with smart climate management, programmable schedules and settings, and a remote switch for on/off operation and light brightness control.
Bhavish Aggarwal’s Krutrim Will Power Kumbh Sahayak App for Maha Kumbh Mela 2025
Although smart rings are typically used to track health data, this inventive smart ring that we discovered at CES allows you to control objects by simply pointing at them. As you point at the object (compatible devices include lights, fans, air conditioners, or televisions), the Lotus system activates the switch by pressing a button on a ring with switch covers.
Despite having a similar appearance to other over-ear headphones, the Bebird EarSight Flow is a sophisticated ear cleaner. It softly cleans your ears by shooting water into them through tiny pods and spouts. Users may see the EarSight Flow clean their ears in real-time by downloading the companion app, which is included with the spout. The headphones have an intelligent warming system that can even dry your ears.
Google Unveiled Gemini 2.0, its Next AI Model for Almost Everything
Two new gadgets that TCL unveiled drew our attention and are good for your eyes. With its Nxtpaper 3.0 display technology, the TCL 60 XE Nxtpaper 5G smartphone reduces eye strain and enhances visual comfort by blocking blue light. The Smart Eye Comfort Mode and the Personalized Eye Comfort Mode, which adaptively adjust the display’s colors, brightness, and contrast levels according to the user’s preferences, are both AI-powered.
Given the announcements we’ve seen from HP, Dell, and Acer thus far, Monday appears to be the day for laptops. AI was added to HP’s Elitebook line, and Dell dropped the XPS moniker in favor of the Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max. Naturally, these Dell machines will include AI capabilities in addition to Wi-Fi 7 support and fast speed.
Meanwhile, the lightweight form factors and OLED screens of Acer’s device lineup make them incredibly adaptable. Additionally, MSI’s CES presentation, which has over ten 18-inch laptops with new AMD processors and limited edition designs, will be appreciated by gamers.
Google Unveiled the Willow Quantum Chip, a quantum computing innovation of the future
The Ultraloq Bolt Mission smart lock is, in our opinion, the most innovative of the smart locks that were announced at CES this year. In addition to using ultra-bandwidth (UWB) technology to unlock your door hands-free as you get closer, UWB enables more secure and precise tracking of authorized devices.
Additionally, the lock accepts NFC devices—at the moment, only Android handsets, but the company intends to add support for Apple Home Key as well.
Circular, a manufacturer of smart rings, made a big statement at CES in what is undoubtedly the wearables industry with the quickest rate of growth. In addition to enhanced sensors and additional heart health monitoring features like Atrial Fibrillation detection integrated into the ECG, smart ring consumers may now determine their ring size without a physical kit, something no other smart ring brand has done so far. Digital Ring Sizing, which determines a user’s ring size using a smartphone’s camera, allows you to try on the Circular 2.
OpenAI debuts Sora Video-Generating Tool
To make glucose monitoring more accessible and inexpensive for both diabetics and the general public, two over-the-counter glucose monitors made their debut at CES on Tuesday. The Dexcom device, which connects to your arm and continuously monitors your blood sugar levels, is designed for people with Type 2 diabetes who do not take insulin, though those without the disease can also use it. Additionally, it is linked to a phone app that provides your readings and lasts for up to 30 days. Both iOS and Android may use it.
Conversely, Abbott’s Lingo device tracks glucose surges to provide more information about a person’s overall health and wellness. Through a companion app, it provides coaching and recommendations on stress management, exercise, and eating habits based on user-specific data. Only the iPhone has it.
Genie 2 from Google DeepMind can Create Interactive 3D Environments
Google and Samsung’s response to Dolby Atmos is Eclipsa Audio. One significant distinction between this new 3D audio format and Dolby Atmos is that it will be free and open-source, with no licensing costs. Only Samsung’s 2025 lineup of Crystal UHD to Neo QLED 8K TVs and soundbars now support the format.
