CES 2021 Quick Summary

Arguably the biggest story of CES 2021 has been the LG Rollable smartphone, which we got our first look at in a short trailer. However, that's not to say there haven't been other serious competitors for the CES spotlight. Day two was the turn of the graphics card titans, with Nvidia and AMD delivering big news. Confirmation that Nvidia's RTX 3000 graphics cards are coming to gaming laptops is big news that could see next-gen laptops arrive with a major performance boost. Not to be outdone, AMD struck back by showing off its exciting Ryzen 5000 series of mobile processors. This follows several big stories from CES 2021 on TVs and home theaters the day before. A landmark announcement was LG Display's confirmation that 42-inch OLED TVs will launch this year. We've been anticipating the arrival of OLED technology on smaller screens for some time, so this could be great news if you're planning to get a second screen for your home this year. Do you want to improve the audio of your home theater system? Samsung also announced a new Dolby Atmos soundbar, which may be its most immersive yet and pairs perfectly with its new flagship 8K TV, the Samsung Neo QN900 8K QLED TV. The tech giant also revealed AI-powered washers and dryers for those of us unimpressed with the intelligence of our appliances, and confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S21 will arrive on Thursday. With Sony also showing off its Airpeak drone for the first time and TCL confirming that it will launch a rollable or foldable phone this year, CES 2021 was a brilliant preview of the biggest releases to come this year.

CES 2021 Highlights

The hottest of LaComparacion at the CES 2021 awards
From drones and robotic vacuums to new mobile processors, laptops and televisions, the first virtual CES has provided us with many new technologies that we need to pay attention to over the next year. What gadgets and gadgets have won the hearts of our editors this week? Here are our editors' picks on the latest technology at CES 2021.

Razer's Project Hazel really got us excited by wearing a smart face mask
A smart face mask would have been a puzzling arrival at previous CES shows, but in 2021 it makes perfect sense, and what a piece of furniture the Razer Project Hazel is. Made from recycled materials, its RGB lighting lets you know when the filter needs to be replaced, while the transparent panel promises to help people read your lips instead of your wild posture.

Meet Moflin, the lovable AI pet robot who will learn to love you
No show at CES is complete without a robot that sits right in that cute to slightly creepy zone, and this year, that honor goes to Moflin. Resembling a fluffy guinea pig, this AI robot uses a bunch of sensors to interact with people differently depending on how they treat it. You have been warned: be nice to Moflin.

LG Rollable Finally Unveiled as an Alternative to the Foldable Phone at CES 2021
It's finally official: LG revealed the name of its version of the foldable phone (LG Rollable, unsurprisingly) and also gave us a preview in a short sneak peek. The Rollable is a bit different from the average foldable, but the concept is similar, giving you the option of a smaller or larger screen on a portable device. The only question now is whether LG signed on with Limp Bizkit for full disclosure.

Samsung's new Dolby Atmos soundbar could be the most immersive yet
If you've built a home theater system that rivals the cinema, Samsung might have delivered the final piece of the puzzle: a premium Q-series soundbar with Dolby Atmos support and super-innovative rear speakers. Could it be a serious rival for the Sonos Arc soundbar crown?

At CES 2021, Lenovo Has An Answer To The Nintendo Switch And Dell Concept UFO
If you liked last year's Alienware Concept UFO from CES, you'll be happy to see the Lenovo LaVie Mini, another nice take on the gaming laptop concept. Granted, it's not quite capable of running Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing, but the LaVie Mini has a lot of power behind that 8-inch screen. It may be just a concept, but we'd like to see more portable models like this.

These microLED smart glasses might be the coolest we've ever seen
Using microLED technology, Vuzix used ultra-small screen projectors that fit snugly on both sides of the bezels to make the product as portable as possible, and it may have been worth it. Unlike other smart glasses that we have seen, the American company seems to have developed a really fashionable wearable technology.

Intel is making some of the thinnest gaming laptops ever at CES 2021
One of the biggest stories at CES 2021 for gamers is Intel's announcement of the 35th Gen Tiger Lake-H11 processors, which are expected to usher in the arrival of the thinnest gaming laptops we've seen so far. . Laptops are likely to be expensive and there is no release date for the processors yet, but we think more information will follow soon.

The new 42-inch OLED TVs are on the way, but which TV brands will get them?
In the market for a small TV this year? You may soon have the option to go OLED, with LG Display confirming at CES that the new 42-inch OLED TV panels will arrive in 2021. Right now, discounted LCD TVs tend to dominate the market. Don't wait for OLEDs to emerge as an alternative.

Nvidia's line of graphics cards is now much more confusing
At CES 2021, Nvidia released a wide range of graphics cards, both for laptops and even a new Ampere desktop graphics card: the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. However, one of the best things I noticed is that some SKUs have a bloated VRAM. specification, and that makes the entire Nvidia RTX 3000 lineup a bit confusing.
