Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “CES 2015 Highlights!”.
Hey what is up guys, i’m kim Bhd here and the Consumer Electronics Show – is officially over and there’s a lot of cool stuff. So this is the coolest stuff I saw at CES 2015 now every year. It feels like about three quarters of the show. Is a TV showcase, of course, this year there were TVs everywhere, curved TVs, flat, TVs, ultra wide TVs, OLED TVs, quantum TVs, not a lot of 3d TVs, which was good. I’M kind of glad 3d is dead, but most of all everyone had a 4k TV of some kind which made the pixel lover inside of me very happy but believe it or not.
We also saw multiple 8k TVs, which looked absolutely insane. Obviously, there’s not a whole lot of 8k video out there, so these mostly played these constructed demos and time lapses, which looked awesome, but they even looked a lot better than the current 4k TVs to me, which was actually saying something. My favorite TV, though, had to be Sony’s super thin 4k Android TV. It came in at something like 5 millimeters thin, which is thicker than probably the phone you’re holding right now, and it was literally so thin that you could grab the corner with two fingers and twist it and it’ll actually Bend a little bit. So, obviously, not something you want to do with your TV, but to me that was the most impressive form factor and it would look pretty badass mounted up on a wall. I got ta say, though, of all the new display technology. That’S out there. I think my next TV upgrade is gon na have to be led, I’m on the lookout this year for a great 4k OLED TV, and if you want to see actually my explanation of that, you can check out my recent quantum dot.
Explain, video I’ll leave a link right below that like button now speaking of 4k TVs, we’ve seen always a whole bunch of ways to watch 4k at CES. All these 4k TVs, but more than ever now this year we’re seeing more ways to shoot 4k. So last year there were one or two major announcements, but this year there were several new 4k cameras.
A couple 4k handycams over at the Sony booth all for a lower price in last year, and also some of their existing cameras could have 4k shooting unlocked with an external recorder. So that, combined with some 4k action cameras in the new 4k GoPro – and you can tell that shooting 4k no longer has to be an ordeal with a huge camera. Anyone can do it, and this is going to be the year of 4k. Now see has been an increasingly less important show for mobile, but the one smartphone that stood out this year was the LG G flex 2 for sure it’s a much improved version of the original G flex. We saw last year in a lot of ways. It now has a form factor that reminds me most of the LG g3, so those back buttons are there. It has the same camera, the laser autofocus, and it reminds me a lot in its shape of the Galaxy Nexus. The biggest improvement here with this phone is the new display. So last year was this huge 720p Super curved display this year.
It’S a slightly smaller 5.5 inch, 1080p slightly less curved a LED display and it looks much better and yes, it’s still flexible. It also has a self-healing back and apparently it’s supposed to be even better than the original, so you know I’m gon na try to test that out on video as soon as I can get my hands on it. Another cool thing I saw was the Tesla Model X in the Panasonic booth, so I’ve talked a lot about Tesla’s since I showed the Model S in this booth last year, and the Model X is one of the most popular things at the whole show like it Was constantly swarmed even until the last day, but I managed to spend some quality time with this electric prototype crossover and noticed some cool things number one: the doors there are pretty obviously different from any other car they’re, not butterfly doors they’re, not going doors, they’re, not Scissor doors they’re, not suicide, doors, they’re called Falcon wing doors and they have their own unique, folding methods. So you don’t have to nip the car next to you, but you also don’t need all that much vertical space to open and close them. Obviously this is still a prototype and they open and close kind of slowly and very deliberately, but I guess what’s cool – is that they open and close by just a button. So the retracted door handles on the back doors.
Just stay retracted. Number two: the seats the Model X obviously now has three rows of seats. The first row looking pretty standard with some nice white leather seats, stitching headrests. All that looks fine second row of seats looks pretty cool, obviously, all still power adjustable and it switches to this black leather with a red stitching, and it looks like your leg room will be a little bit tight if you’re in the middle seat, but really the Third row is what you want to take an eye on and really it’s accessible by, the Falcon wing doors still and it’s supposed to have a decent amount of legroom. But I feel like if you’re gon na have people in all three rows.
Someone is going to be uncomfortable either way. Number three is that everything in this car looked a little bit more refined than the interior of the Model. S. Obviously, that was one of the biggest complaints about the Model.
S is that the interior didn’t look like something you’d find in a similarly priced Mercedes or BMW or something so it’s kind of hard to do that without any buttons or dials or knobs. But the touchscreen had a nicer bezel. All the trim looked a little bit better.
It just looked like a much cleaner, much more luxurious interior. Even if it’s not all that complicated the steering wheel is also new. It has this two-tone look and actually now has touch screens on either side of the steering wheel for media controls, replacing even more of the stuff that was previously knob, so I’m guessing these will either be programmable or changeable.
After the fact, I also noticed this version also has sideview mirrors, which is only notable because the last version of the Model X, I saw had cameras there instead so yeah. This is the all-electric crossover that is expected to enter production soon from Tesla. But if you’re more into some gasoline-powered driving machines, you should definitely take a look at the video I did on all the tech in BMWs cars at their booth outside of the North Hall, which was pretty badass some self-driving cars. The i8 is a hybrid, some crazy-looking stuff, they’re, also sharp. I think sharp had one of the best booths at all of CES.
Honestly. Not only did they have a bunch of their TVs, but they had a ton of these bezel-less displays using the same technology that the sharp aquos crystal smartphone had, and a bunch of these formless displays that you could make really whatever shape you want, which is crazy And we also saw in that booth a see-through display, which I must say I definitely stared at for a couple of minutes, because it was kind of actually blowing my mind very cool. I also want to mention one more thing: there was a bunch of virtual reality, stuff all over CES, scattered about the floor this year, and while I was getting footage of it, I realized you are guaranteed to look at least a little bit ridiculous, while using it In fact, the better the demo is, the more ridiculous you look either way. Ces was a lot of fun.
I got to hang out with a bunch of awesome youtubers that were also all making dope videos I’ll leave some links below. So you can check those guys out and the videos they made and even though there were some things I didn’t get to see from companies like Dell and Asus, I had an awesome time and I’ll definitely be checking out a lot of those things in separate upcoming Videos this year so definitely stay tuned for those. Thank you for watching and I’ll talk to you guys in the next one peace. .
