CES 2022: All of the latest news from the world’s biggest tech show
CES 2022 is underway and Las Vegas playing host to the return of the in-person consumer tech spectacular!
The Consumer Electronics Show gives us a preview into what kinds of gadgets you can look forward to getting this year —and in some cases a glimpse of the future.
With Covid-19 concerns on the rise this isn't the massive in-person event that we saw pre-Covid with hundreds of thousands of attendees crammed into convention halls. However, fewer attendees won't mean fewer announcements, thousands of awesome new gadgets are still going to be launched at CES 2022.
While we aren't on the ground in Las Vegas this year, we will still be bringing you all of the latest news from the event including our hands-on impressions of some of the hottest laptops, tablets and more coming in 2022.
Laptops at CES 2022
Laptops at CES 2022 are often predictable, but really exciting at the same time. Throughout the many teases and product announcements we expect to see, there will be some key specs that will give us a glimpse at the next 12 months in the category. There are also always a few wildcards in the mix to spice things up.

Phones at CES 2022
With Mobile World Congress just a couple of months after CES and many of the big OEMs holding their own, we rarely see any big phone news emerge from Vegas.
However, things have been a bit more eventful than usual this year with the announcement of the Galaxy S21 FE and more details on the OnePlus 10 Pro, although only the Chinese launch is official for the latter so far.
A number of additional budget to mid-range phones were announced as well including the latest TCL 30 series phones and a number of incredibly affordable phones from Nokia.
Headphones at CES 2022
It should come as absolutely no surprise that there will be new headphones and true wireless earbuds at CES 2022. With LG, Samsung, Sony, Klipsch, JBL and more being at the show, alongside numerous more attending virtually, expect a host of manufacturers who are set to have a lot to say about audio.
I’m not going to say these are predictions — more of a personal wishlist. I hope we see improvements to battery life across true wireless earbuds (four hours is simply not enough), alongside more people moving to a dual-driver sound structure. The separation of having a Knowles balanced armature driver handling the highs makes a profound impact on the spaciousness of the sound production.
Plus, after seeing Apple drop Spatial Audio into its AirPods line-up and the likes of Sony 360 Reality Audio in past years, it would be fair to expect more companies making moves in this area.
TVs at CES 2022
The TV world has largely shown its hand for the future. As the march towards 8K resolutions and high refresh rates goes on, the move toward Mini LED technology is clearly going to be the talk of the show as well.
Sony, LG and Samsung will bring their big screen energy to the show with a usual slew of 100-inch monsters, but keep an eye out for these Mini LED panels too, as they will be the future of televisions. Not only that, but we may also see some Smart TV OS updates and some interesting conversations around the future of HDMI I/O.
While the latest and greatest TV tech tends to mean eye-watering prices, this could be the year we see 8K come down into more mainstream price points with companies like TCL and HiSense already coming in around a $2,000 price point.
We'll be keeping this page updated with all of the latest from CES as it happens so bookmark it now to follow along with us for the rest of CES 2022.
