CES 2025 has officially begun. With Monday’s keynotes behind us, we’ve compiled all the news you need to know into one handy guide. Scroll down to discover all the big announcements from the show.

CES stands for the Consumer Electronics Show, a huge tradeshow held in Las Vegas every January. From large conglomerates to smaller start-ups, thousands of exhibitors line up each year to showcase their latest tech at CES. 

Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about CES 2025, including when the event is taking place, what products we’re expecting this year and what has been announced so far.

When is CES 2025? 

CES 2025 is set to take place in Las Vegas from January 7-10 2025. However, major announcements begin a day earlier on January 6, with a slew of huge press conferences. Some companies, like LG for example, like to spend Christmas week announcing their announcements too!

CES is a trade-only event, meaning you need to be affiliated with the consumer technology industry to attend. However, Trusted Reviews will be on the floor again this year armed with media badges, meaning you can check back here for all the latest news and hands-on experiences from the team. 

When are the major CES 2025 press conferences happening?

Typically, at CES, some of the biggest names exhibiting new tech will hold a grand press conference at the Las Vegas Convention Centre or a surrounding glam hotel, giving tech fans a preview of the year ahead and revealing products that’ll be showcased at the event.

Often these press conferences feature guest speakers from the world of TV, film and music. I remember seeing Kelly Clarkson one year! Here’s when the press conferences will take place and how to watch them.

CES 2025 announcements so far 

With all of the big press conferences behind us and CES 2025 officially underway, here’s what has been announced so far. 

Acer 

Starting off in alphabetical order, Acer unveiled a number of updates to its laptop line-up at this year’s CES showcase. That includes new additions to its ultra-portable Swift Go, eco-friendly Aspire Vero 16 and Nitro V gaming ranges. 

For gamers on the go, the brand also announced two new handheld gaming PCs, the Acer Nitro Blaze 8 and the Nitro Blaze 11. These devices join Acer’s first handheld gaming PC, the Nitro Blaze 7, that launched at IFA last September. 

Dell 

Dell has announced a major change to its PC range as the company revealed it was dropping its XPS, Latitude and Inspiron branding altogether. Going forward, Dell will be releasing laptops in three categories: Dell, Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max. Below these categories are three sub-categories: Base, Plus and Premium. 

According to Dell, the idea is to make the buying process less confusing for customers by applying a tiered approach to future launches, with Base as a starting point, Plus for scalable performance and Premium for the best in mobility and design. 

Garmin 

Garmin announced the Instinct 3 at CES this year. The wearable – which functions as both an everyday smartwatch and a tracker for outdoor adventures – is available in both AMOLED and Solar options. 

Hisense 

Hisense lit up the showroom with a striking MicroLED TV: the Hisense 136MX MicroLED. Not only is this Hisense’s first MicroLED TV, but it’s also absolutely huge at 136 inches across. 

Along with a whopping 10000 nits of brightness, this display also supports Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ and Filmmaker mode for HDR and Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X for immersive audio. The Hi-View AI Engine X processor, meanwhile, optimises each frame to offer more precise colours and richer detail with a hand from AI. 

Intel 

Intel unveiled its latest range of Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) mobile CPUs, including the Core Ultra 200HX, the Core Ultra 200H and the Core Ultra 200U. 

These are the first Arrow Lake processors available for laptops, with the 200HX and H series aimed at creators and gamers, while the 200U focuses on portability without foregoing performance and power efficiency.

LG 

LG has announced the second generation of its viral StanbyMe TV with the StanbyMe 2. 

The rolling and rotating TV now includes a higher 1440p resolution, another hour of battery life and some interesting accessories, including a cover case that transforms the TV into something more akin to a giant tablet and a strap for hanging the TV on a wall or off your body (if that’s something you require). 

The brand has also announced its brightest OLED TVs to date with the new OLED Evo line-up including the wireless G5 – the first true wireless OLED TV that delivers wireless audio and video at up to 144Hz with no latency issues or loss of picture/sound quality. 

The company has gone on to announce its UltraGear GX9 series of premium OLED gaming monitors (including the first bendable 5K2K gaming monitor), a microwave with a 27-inch touchscreen, and a 3-in-1 device that combines a projector, Bluetooth speaker and LED mood lamp. 

MSI 

MSI showcased five new laptops that combine the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards with the Intel Core Ultra Series 2 (or AMD Ryden 9000 Series/AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series) CPUs. 

These new laptops fall under the Titan, Raider and Vector ranges, with the top-of-the-line being the MSI Titan HX AI. This laptop combines the Intel Core Ul;tra 9 processor 275HX with the Nvidia RTX GPU, up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM and 270W of total system power at its highest configuration. 

Nvidia 

Along with the aforementioned GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs (which offer a huge leap in AI power, apparently capable of generating autonomous game characters that can “perceive, plan and act like human players”), Nvidia also unveiled Project Digits. 

Defined as a personal AI supercomputer, Project Digits brings a petaflop of AI computing performance to the desktop, allowing AI researchers, data scientists and students to tackle AI-intensive tasks, including prototyping, fine-tuning and running large AI models wherever they are. 

Samsung 

As always, Samsung unveiled a wide range of new products at CES, from two new Galaxy Book 5 series laptops to the Neo QLED The Frame Pro TV. The Smart Monitor M9 has received an AI upgrade, while the Odyssey OLED G6 and Odyssey OLED G8 mark the first 27-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor and the first OLED screen with a 500Hz refresh rate, respectively. 

There’s also Samsung Vision AI, a new smart TV system that transforms Samsung TVs into smart companions with features like Click to Search offering instant information about what’s on screen, while Live Translate creates real-time translated subtitles and Generative Wallpaper allow users to create their own images. Vision AI is also integrated with the SmartThings ecosystem and offers on-device AI picture and sound adjustments.

This year, Samsung is also expanding the range of screens on its home appliances, including a refrigerator, an oven and a washer and dryer set. Speaking of refrigerators, Samsung will be unveiling new models with AI Hybrid Cooling technology at CES. The company has also announced a partnership with grocery delivery app Instacart in the US, allowing users to shop directly through their Bespoke fridges. 

TCL 

TCL has unveiled the Nxtpaper 11 Plus, the first tablet to carry its latest-generation eye-friendly display technology. This includes Circularly Polarised Light technology and blue light purification, as well as a Smart Eye Comfort Mode which adjusts the screen settings to minimise eye strain. 

The 11 Plus is also the first TCL Nxtpaper tablet to be powered by AI, with a new Personalised Eye Comfort Mode to personalise the screen settings based on your habits and preferences, along with AI Subtitles, a Smart Translator, Writing Assist and more.

What to expect from CES 2025 

Over the last decade, the biggest takeaway from CES has been advancements in television sets – bigger, better, more AI – and we can expect loads of those in 2025 too.

However, the industry is shifting. Now the biggest excitement comes from the announcements made by chipmakers like AMD and Nvidia.

That’s largely due to the AI capabilities these new chips enable thanks to the sheer number of calculations they can make per second. That has far-reaching ramifications for the entire tech industry. For TVs, it might be picture upscaling and content previews, for gaming it’s improved ray-tracing and frame rates boosted by AI.

So expect loads of AI-focused announcements across the board, from hardware to software and from entertainment to home appliances. Perhaps some consumer-focused home robots will rise from the new AI awakening too?

Away from AI, there’ll be tons of quirkier announcements and we’ll be keeping our eyes on the show floor for the innovations from the smaller exhibitors looking to make their mark in Vegas.

However, here’s what we’re expecting from some of the big guns:

RDNA 4 GPUs from AMD 

AMD’s January 6 press conference is will see the “next generation of innovation across gaming, AI PC, and commercial”, according to SVP and GM of Computing and Graphics Jack Huynh. That’s likely to mean the unveiling of new graphics chips under the RTX 8000 or RX 9000 naming convention.

Those new chips are likely to sit in the mid-range, bringing new capabilities in areas like ray-tracing for users on smaller budgets. However, you slice it, Nvidia is still likely to steal the headlines.

Loads more AI from Samsung

Samsung’s press conference is tag-lined “AI for All: Everyday, Everywhere”, which tells you all you need to know about the company’s plans for 2025. More generative AI in all of its products.

We’re expecting the usual crop of high end Samsung televisions at the event, so it’ll be interesting to see how AI is infusing the viewing experience.

Samsung also usually has some pretty cool products from its experimental C-Labs. Some never see the light of day, but it’s always intriguing to see the direction Samsung’s most innovative minds are exploring.

LG G and C series OLED TVs 

LG is previewing its press conference with the term “Affectionate Intelligence” which is likely to be the way AI makes its way into Samsung’s 2025 product line-up.

LG usually refreshes its C-Series and G-Series OLED televisions at CES, and that’s unlikely to change this year. Indeed, two LG TVs have been spotted having undergone certification for 165Hz at 4K resolution in South Korea’s Institute of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Testing’s database (via FlatPanelsHD)

The C5 and G5 appear to be successors to LG’s C4 and G4 OLED TVs. Photos and information from the database suggest there will be no major design changes and that the brighter MLA OLED panel will still be exclusive to the G series. 

LG has started early with the announcements this year and, on Christmas Eve, previewed a new indoor gardening lamp it says is “a personal horticultural solution combines an advanced system that encourages fast, healthy plant growth with a modern floor-standing lamp design.”

Nvidia RTX 5000 Series GPU

We got a great preview of the next-generation graphics chips during The Game Awards in December and Nvidia’s announcements are sure to be one of the biggest stories of CES 2025 this year.

There’s going to be a healthy (or unhealthy) infusion of AI and we’re also likely to see some announcements of major new hardware providers rocking new gaming rigs with the advanced GPUs.

The next generation of Android phones 

Qualcomm announced its newest chipset – the Snapdragon 8 Elite – in October 2024. The flagship chipset underwent a branding refresh this year, bringing onboard the same Elite branding present on the Snapdragon X Elite laptop chipset. 

We’re likely to see a handful of Android phones announced at CES that will make use of this latest chipset, though other companies may wait until MWC 2025. Some brands confirmed to be in attendance this year include Samsung, Asus and TCL, although Samsung will definitely wait until after CES to unveil its flagship Galaxy S25 range.
