The top 4 trends and products from CES 2022 – Frandroid

As CES 2022 draws to a close, we wanted to take stock of the four trends and new products that most interested us during the Las Vegas show.

As every year, the CES show was the scene of several interesting announcements in the world of tech. While some manufacturers are betting more on the long term by unveiling technologies and prototypes, others are taking advantage of the event to present new products ready to be marketed.

In this uproar, it can be difficult to take a step back and take stock of the show’s most significant things. This is why here we offer you a modest top 4 of the trends and products to remember from CES 2022.

The trend: the PC world is in turmoil

This is undoubtedly the main thing to remember: more than ever, the PC universe was in the spotlight at CES 2022. How not to evoke the presentation of the Asus ZenBook 17 Fold Oled? This laptop PC with foldable screen inevitably triggers its little “wow” effect. And it would seem that the year 2022 is well on its way to see other similar models bloom .

We must also evoke the Dell XPS 13 Plus an ultra-portable ultra refined for ever more refinement. Let us not forget also the fierce battle between Intel, Nvidia, AMD and Qualcomm, if only in the graphics card sector with Intel Arc over here, a RTX 3090 Ti by there or the arrival in force Ryzen 6000to name just these examples.

Even computer screens have captured the public’s attention. The Samsung Odyssey Ark monitor is nothing short of impressive . This is a 55 inch curved slab capable of rotating between vertical or horizontal modes as you like. Despite its barbaric name, The Alienware AW3423DW also promises beautiful thingsfor gamers, but we’ll see that in the next section.

Technology: QD-OLED screens

Yes, if the PC world has been treated to the red carpet, the technology everyone has been talking about is none other than the QD-OLED. The screen presented by Alienware embeds just such a display. Admittedly, the supplier Samsung Display has been working on this innovation since at least 2019, but it was not until 2022 to see it really interfere in concrete products.

QD-OLED represents an important advance in OLED technology since it is supposed to allow much better management of color saturation on the brightest pixels. It is a new way of structuring tiles to offer the user images that are richer in color and brighter.

In addition to the Alienware screen, the QD-OLED has also come to one of the new televisions presented by Sony: the A95K. However, even if he is a supplier of these tiles, Samsung has not yet presented any products that were equipped with it., but the idea certainly trots in the back of the head of the South Korean giant.

The surprise: the car that changes color

At CES 2022, it is common to see several car demonstrations. While some are very classic, others clearly have potential, forgive us the expression, “WTF”. This year, this prize goes to the BMW iX Flow capable of changing the color of its bodywork. Certainly, said like that, this innovation seems totally gadget, even absurd.

There is still an interesting point to underline beyond the simple aesthetic aspect: changing the color of your car by simply pressing a button can have thermal virtues. Dressing your vehicle in white when the blazing sun beats down on it will prevent you from keeping too much heat for more comfortable journeys. Conversely, opting for black in winter allows, on paper, to better capture heat.

The practical product: the small Samsung video projector

We inevitably expect some glitter in the eyes at a show dedicated to new technologies and we were served. However, such an event is also an opportunity to discover new, more classic products, like the Galaxy S21 FE. However, it is another product launched by Samsung that caught our eye in this category of devices more “simple“. It’s about from Samsung The Freestyle.

It is a very compact and easily transportable video projector. This nomadic side is indeed at the heart of The Freestyle’s DNA. It must be said that with dimensions of 155.8 mm x 93 mm and a contained weight of 800 grams, it should not pose too much of a problem for transport.

Full HD display up to 100 inches diagonal, HDR10 compatible, 180 degree rotation, 360 degree sound… There are a lot of interesting things to be said about this projector. Too bad: the still weak luminosity and the price of almost 1000 euros still represent obstacles to the purchase.
