Overview
- CES opens for media on Jan. 4 and to the public Jan. 6–9 in Las Vegas, with Nvidia, AMD, Samsung, and Lenovo positioning AI as the core message across categories.
- AMD has confirmed a Jan. 5 keynote at 6:30 p.m. PT, setting expectations for new silicon disclosures as the show’s AI narrative takes shape.
- The show floor will feature a surge of AI wearables such as smart glasses and rings, with much of the news coming from Xreal, Vuzix, Rokid, Halliday Global, and Even Realities, while Meta and Snap are not expected to debut new hardware.
- Robotics gets a dedicated hall from the CTA, showcasing humanoids and service bots for homes and enterprise, though battery life, mobility, cost, and safety remain key hurdles despite more complex demos.
- Beyond AI assistants, exhibitors are set to highlight flexible phones and TVs, including Samsung’s already-announced Galaxy Z TriFold expected in the U.S. in early 2026 and a possible Motorola book-style foldable tease, while TV makers emphasize wider color reproduction and picture refinements.
