CES 2018 - What Should You Be Exited About?

This year's CES (Consumer Electronics Show) has just ended, and though you might heard some outrageous awesome products that were unveiled - unfortunately most of them will never see the light of day! This show is aimed at putting the most innovative ideas forward and taking a chance. Yes, there are quite a few products that were unveiled that are definitely coming, BUT they are mostly big company products and not the small companies innovations.

In this article I will bring you the products that I believe will be released and are worthy of your attention, so - let's begin!

• Jabra Elite 65t - Jabra has released a cost effective truly wireless headphones, with 5 hours of play time and 10 more hours in the charging case - this is a great option for only 170$ Now you say, this isn't cheap - yes, that's true - but this is a stating price and from here the price will surly go down, and than you should definitely give it a shot! And yes, they should sound great - with custom equalizer built in and Bluetooth 5.0 for faster data transfer.

• Sony HT-Z9F sound-bar - With simulated Dolby Atmos sound and 3.1 channels for 900$ this solution might be hitting the sweet spot of homes that don't want that cable clutter.

• Sennheiser sound bar prototype - I know, 2 sound bars to be exited about? Well, this one is still a prototype, but it shows a lot of promise in reproducing 9.1 channel audio from a single product. Sennheiser has been industry leading headphone manufacturer for years - so they understand sound! Yes, it is bigger than most sound bars with a hight of 4.5", but you get 13 different speakers with 3D sound coming from everywhere! I'll be keeping watch for this product to see if it comes to fruition.

• Vivo smartphone with under the display fingerprint - When Apple came out with the iPhone X I was thrilled and disappointed - I really enjoyed the implementation of the finger print sensor, it became second nature for me when unlocking my smartphone. But now Vivo has introduced the first smartphone with under the display fingerprint sensor - while it is a bit slower than the common type (0.3 second vs. 0.7 seconds) in my opinion it is the best of both worlds - no bezels plus fingerprint sensor. Now to be clear, this isn't the technology of Vivo but a third party, so pretty soon it could be on a smartphone near you!

• Intel 8th Gen. CPU with AMD graphics - Intel has announced the G series CPU, using AMD Vega m graphic chip built in. This is very exciting for casual gamers, as gaming benchmark show it is as good or better than the Nvidia 1060 max Q card. This CPU can make gaming laptops and small form factor PCs significantly cheaper than buying a good CPU and graphic card separately.
