Samsung
The South Korean giant always secures itself the primary highlight at every CES and history is proof of it. During CES (2015), Samsung unveiled a never-before-seen concept of bendable TV. The company is now expected to introduce a bendable smartphone. According to Forbes, several rumors claim that Samsung is working on an unidentified smartphone called, “Galaxy X.” It will carry unique features and will be made available for sale almost immediately. One of the main reasons why Samsung chooses to debut the handset so early is so that the company can have an upper hand over its competitors.
Sony
Sony’s primary highlight lies in its audio products.
Other times, the Japanese company introduces newer items in its office line. Similarly, Sony is expected to update its Bravia series of TV. The upcoming line-up of Bravia TV will come featuring OLED screens. Apart from this, the company is rumored to debut some high-end speakers.
LG
LG focused on its TV line-up during CES 2017.
History is expected to repeat itself in 2018 as well. The company is believed to be working on visually-stunning and thinner-than-ever-before televisions. These will take on products from Sony and Samsung directly. LG usually reserves smartphone launches for the end of the year.
Automobile manufacturers
Over the years, CES has gradually transformed itself into an automobile show.
According to a report by The Street, Fisker will be among the many to debut its fresh electric line-up called “E-Motion,” during the event. Rumor indicates that the vehicle alone will cost roughly $129,000. This is one of the most expensive offerings made by Fisker. The manufacturer will be joined by others, including Faraday Future, Hyundai and Toyota. These companies also have some surprises packed for its fans.
