CES 2024 gadgets: the successor to the smartphone?
The year has only just started, but parties are already starting in the United States. For fans of films and series, the Golden Globes and Emmys are the highlight, but for gadget enthusiasts, CES 2024 is the place to be.
In case you don’t know, CES stands for Consumer Electronics Show and is a huge tech trade show that has been held in Las Vegas since 1967. Here the big tech companies show their latest gadgets. This year there is again plenty to look at greedily, so we present the best CES 2024 gadgets in this article.
1. Ballie: robot with a projector
Samsung introduces a new version of its ball-shaped robot Ballie, which keeps your home safe. The cheerful-looking robot can control the various devices in the house, has a camera so you can watch and even a projector to place screens on the wall or floor.
2. LG Signature OLED T: transparent television
If you don’t watch television, you will be left with a large, black area in your living room. LG has come up with a solution for this with its transparent television. You can simply look through this screen when you are not streaming.
You can also watch normal television, but it is more fun to place images on the screen with a transparent background. This gives you the illusion of a hologram.
3. LG Smart Home AI Agent: cheerful robot for your home
LG has a robot similar to Ballie, which monitors your house while you watch via the camera or talk via the speaker. The AI technology allows the robot to understand its environment, but also your commands.
Thanks to built-in sensors, the robot knows whether the air quality, humidity and temperature in the house are OK, and then provides tips on improvements. You will even receive a notification if you have left a window open while you are no longer at home.
4. Rabbit R1: successor to the smartphone
This small, orange AI device may be the start of a smartphone-free future. The makers find it annoying that you always have to find the right app on phones and then learn how to use that app.
With the Rabbit OS operating system you should be able to do the same things, but this happens invisibly while you give all your commands via voice control. The Rabbit R1 can now be pre-ordered for 184.95 euros and will be delivered from March.
5. MSI Claw: Competition for the Steam Deck
Valve’s Steam Deck is a great success. This handheld is a small PC for playing games on the go or on the couch. There is more and more competition on the market, including the ASUS Rog Ally and now MSI also wants to participate through the Claw.
The Claw stands out for its powerful Intel processor, while the Steam Deck and ROG Ally use an AMD processor. Some games will therefore run better on one device or another. The MSI Claw is available from $699 and will be available in stores at the end of February.
6. HRM-Fit: heart rate measurement for women
Garmin comes with a heart rate monitor especially for women. That sounds strange, because women’s hearts don’t work any differently than men’s. The difference is in the way you attach this HRM-Fit.
You can attach this to a sports bra. This should provide a better experience compared to a band that shifts during exercise. The HRM-Fit is now for sale for 159.99 euros.
7. iLume Dog Bowl and Collar
Even your dog is not safe from artificial intelligence. The company iLume wants to monitor the health of your four-legged friend with a combination of a smart food bowl and a collar.
The collar serves as a kind of Fitbit, which monitors your dog’s activity and sleep. The system also knows how much your dog eats via the food bowl. You will then receive tips on how many calories your dog needs to combat obesity.
8. Ultrahuman Home: a tracker for your home
You may know Ultrahuman from its smart rings that monitor your health and activity. Now the company wants to do the same with your home through the Ultrahuman Home.
This device measures, among other things, air quality, humidity, noise and light in a room, and then gives you tips on how to improve the situation. This data is of course combined with the data from the rings, for more tips on sleeping better or working better.
9. Skyted Mask: Talk in complete privacy
With this Skyted mask over your mouth you can talk without the person next to you hearing. Handy if you want to make calls on the plane, for example. The mask looks like an average face mask that we all wore a few years ago, but slightly thicker.
You decide how much should be muted in your own bubble. The muting can also be turned off to talk to the person next to you. Your voice will then be slightly amplified. The Skyted Mask now costs $299 for early birds. The mask will later cost $399.
The smartphones of CES 2024
In addition to the CES 2024 gadgets, smartphones were of course also shown. The ASUS ROG Phone 8 has been officially revealed and the Oppo Find X7 Ultra has an impressive camera. There is also a new Galaxy Xcover 7 and Tab Active 5.
