CES Consumer Electronics Trends 2015
With the passing of 2014 and the coming of 2015, the annual CES Consumer Electronics Show will be held in the United States on January 6, 2015Las VegasOpen the curtain again.As one of the most important science and technology industry exhibitions every year, CES attracts numerous manufacturers to participate in the exhibition every year, and various new products emerge in endlessly.At the same time, since CES is usually held at the beginning of the year, the development trend of the technology industry in the new year will also begin to show signs at CES exhibitions.BloombergAccording to the author,UAV、4K TV、Internet caras well asSmart homeTechnology is expected to be the highlight of this exhibition.[2]
mobile phone
Tablet phones squeeze tablet sales
Smart phone is one of the core products of the Internet of Things.In the past, CES has always been an important stage for smaller, thinner and lighter smartphones.But in 2015, CES turned to larger handheld devices, the most significant of which was the rapid growth of the "tablet phone" market.
International Consumer Electronics Show [7]
Tablet phones combine the functions of traditional smart phones and tablets into one, and the screen size is between 5 and 7 inches - between smart phones and tablets.
As more and more consumers choose to view photos, videos and games through the large screen, this kind of giant screen mobile phone has become the focus of attention.In order to meet consumers' demand for rich immersive content, the screen resolution and quality of tablet phones are expected to become a major focus.[8]
International Consumer Electronics Show
The significance of CES 2015 for the mobile market may lie in the trend outlook of the underlying hardware.Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processorObviously, it is an important role in the smartphone market in 2015. Qualcomm has also demonstrated it before, highlighting 4K video processing, optimized zoom and more attractive functions. Considering that Android 5.0 has adopted a 64 bit architecture, the 64 bit Snapdragon 810 will bring more performance and application form improvements.Of course, the actual mobile phone products are expected to be launched in a large number in MWC 2015.
television
4K becomes mainstream, more surfaces and Android TV debut
Obviously, through the promotion and marketing throughout 2014, 4K TV has been recognized by consumers. Basically, 4K TV has become the first choice for upgrading.It is expected that at CES 2015, TV manufacturers will display more diversified 4K TVs, especially mid tier models, to stimulate consumers' desire to change.Of course, we are also very likely to see the 8K TVs displayed by Sharp and LG. But don't worry, it will take a long time for 8K TVs to be popularized.
International Consumer Electronics Show
Curved TV used to look like booing, but in SamsungLGWith the strong promotion of manufacturers, it seems that there is a trend of gradual popularization, even spread to the display field.In 2014, Samsung demonstrated a TV that can remotely switch curved and flat surfaces through electric switches, which may be the ultimate form of curved TV in the future.
Compared with Apple's neglect of smart TV, Google seems more determined to vigorously develop smart TV systems.Android TVWe have won over Sony, Sharp, Philips and other major TV manufacturers. We hope to see the actual products at CES 2015, which is expected.[7]
computer
Broadwell is a big trend, more low-cost products
International Consumer Electronics Show
IntelBroadwellProcessor is obviously the most important role in the PC market in 2015, which will bring a lot of product updates.In fact, some notebooks and hybrid tablets that were first equipped with the Core M processor have been released or even launched, and they will become the protagonists of CES 2015.The new processor brings the possibility of thinner, fanless design, which is obviously of great significance for Windows products.
Secondly, high-resolution screens are also a major trend in the computer field. In 2014, we have seen a large number of 2K, 3K and a small number of 4K notebooks in the market. It is expected that the new models will be equipped with 2K screens as standard, helping users gain a better visual experience.[7]
automobile
Internet&self driving cars become a focus
International Consumer Electronics Show
Autonomous cars are no longer new, and even on CES, they are no longer a fresh topic.In the past few years, both technology manufacturers and automobile manufacturers have made a lot of efforts in intelligent driving technology, and various conceptual displays and releases have also emerged in endlessly. People can even confidently predict that in the near future, autonomous cars will run on the road.However, before the automatic driving technology is really applied, not only the technology needs to be further improved, but also the relevant laws and regulations need to be improved, and consumers also need some time to accept automatic driving cars.Considering this, CES in 2015 may be a key opportunity to promote the application of autonomous vehicles.
It is not hard to predict that many manufacturers will display automatic driving technology and physical models at CES in 2015, including those from GoogleAndroid AutoAnd AppleCarPlayIt will also become a hot spot for traditional automobile manufacturers to seek cooperation.[9]
Internet car is another core platform for integrating Internet of Things services.On the 2015 CES, the importance of Internet cars will become more prominent.Like 4K TV, the focus of Internet cars is not how "cool" the appearance and conceptual design are, but more and more people are driving Internet cars.
In order to promote the development of Internet cars, automobile manufacturers will show how to integrate Internet connections in cars, making cars an extension of smart machines.More advanced tools such as text to voice and the upgrading of vehicle performance and maintenance will be integrated into mainstream vehicle production in the future.[8]
Intelligent hardware
The World of Wearable Devices
International Consumer Electronics Show
wearable devices It is the absolute protagonist of CES 2014, and similar to PebbleFitbitSuch small enterprises have basically obtained the first bucket of gold from CES.Obviously, Apple will not participate in CES or showAppleWatchHowever, start-ups will bring a large number of smart watches, sports bracelets, smart headphones, and virtual reality accessories. We hope to see some more innovative and practical products.
In 2014, wearable technology is expected to enter the mainstream in 2015.According to CCS Insight, the shipment of smart watches and fitness wristbands will exceed 50 million in 2015.CES is undoubtedly a demonstrationWearable technology It is believed that any mainstream manufacturer will not be absent from the best platform and opportunity of the. The popular trend in 2015 will be wristbands, smart glasses and fitness trackers, which can be seen in the exhibition.[10]
The price of sensors and related technologies has declined, which allows devices that can track movement, activity, heart rate and even sleep to be priced at about $80.
International Consumer Electronics Show
However, in addition to being attractive in terms of price, wearable technology needs to make great efforts in terms of comfort and fashion to attract ordinary consumers.Therefore, there may be some heavyweight cooperation releases in technology and fashion on CES in 2015.
Wearable devices are not limited to sports braceletsSmart glassesJewelry devices for female users, or smart sportswear with integrated EMG sensors, all indicate the major trend of wearable device development: diversified wearing forms.In addition, new sensors also make their data more accurate and diversified.So in CES 2015, we should see a large number of wearable devices in different forms, maybe smart clothes, maybe a hat.[9]
Smart home
Network interconnection becomes a trend
Smart home has been developing steadily in the past few years, and the popularity of Wi Fi and Bluetooth has also enabled many things in the home to be connected through the network.However, different brands of devices still have compatibility problems, many of which cannot work together or share data. This is also the biggest problem facing smart homes today, and with the participation of more manufacturers and the intellectualization of devices, compatibility problems may become more serious.
International Consumer Electronics Show
Of course, some manufacturers are also working hard to establish a set of common standards and platforms.Intel launched a cloud platform in 2014, which can make it easier and safer for connected devices to exchange data through the cloud.And Apple also launched HomeKit to help softHardware developmentThey develop products that use unified standards.Although Apple has never participated in CES, some home products supporting HomeKit will appear on CES, such as home security devices, power output devices, lighting systems, etc.
In addition to Apple, Samsung, which launched SmartThings and smart home platforms in 2014, Google, which acquired Nest, and Qualcomm, which owns the AllSeen Alliance and AllJoyn platforms, will also show their latest progress on CES.If they want to stand out, these manufacturers must convince consumers that connected home devices are more convenient to use than independently operated home devices, so as to prove that their platforms and standards have the potential to unify the industry.[9]Samsung, Bosch, Whirlpool and other manufacturers that have acquired SmartThings are brewing their own smart home platforms. In addition, Honeywell, ADT, Kwikset Kevo and other large and small manufacturers believe that CES 2015 smart home exhibition hall will be very lively.
Fashion brand
Start to pay attention to scientific and technological elements
International Consumer Electronics Show
Although the theme of CES is consumer electronics and technology, with the approval of CEA (Consumer Electronics Association), the sponsor of CES,AdidasNew Bailun, L'Oreal and other fashion brands have also become one of its more than 2000 members.Although these market brands used to rely on various technologies to improve their products, they now need to promote products with scientific and technological value to consumers, so joining CEA is undoubtedly a reasonable choice.The result is that the integration of technology industry and fashion industry will bring more possibilities.Now Intel and other technology manufacturers are building technology products that conform to fashion trends, and fashion brands are also using technology to make their products more intelligent. Because their practices are quite different, they will also provide consumers with more choices.
Virtual reality equipment
Go to mass market
Facebook$2 billion acquisitionOculus RiftIt can be said that it is one of the most important news in the technology industry in 2014, and Facebook also believes that virtual reality will become the next big event in the technology industry.After years of development, perhaps the screen we hold in our hands will soon become a virtual reality display in front of us.
Although Oculus was the star product of the previous two CES sessions, there are many other products worth paying attention to at this CES session.First, an omnidirectional virtual running device that can be used with Oculus RiftVirtuix OmniThe final version of will be unveiled, and the Avegant Glyph under development and Cortex, a headworn device integrating virtual reality technology and augmented reality technology, will also be exhibited at the GDC Game Fair.
While the competitors are gradually mature, rekindle theOculusWe are also making further efforts to improve the user experience.Oculus acquired Nimble VR, a manufacturer of hand tracking equipment, in 2014, and it is rumored that it is developing a model that can work with Oculus RiftSomatosensory controller。
In addition, Samsung, which has cooperated with Oculus to launch Gear VR and provide screen components for Rift, also has many advantages in the field of virtual reality, and Sony, which is second to none in the game industry, will also display the Project Morpheus virtual reality head mounted display specially designed for games on CES.Regardless of the progress of these products, it is gratifying that more and more manufacturers have begun to develop software and hardware for virtual reality.Although the seamless combination of software and hardware is not easy, due to the efforts of manufacturers, virtual reality is getting closer to the real application.Without the support of Facebook, I believe Oculus Rift is just a toy with little practical value.[10]
2014[11]
Curved TV was the main focus of household appliances in 2014. All factories launched curved screen products. Samsung bendable UHD TV even supports the function of one button switching between curved surface and flat surface, which undoubtedly became the highlight of the exhibition.Sony launched Xperia Z1 Compact, LG launched G Flex curved screen mobile phone curved screen mobile phone, and the domestic 4G network was officially launched.
The highlight of CES 2013 ishigh passThe company's Keynote, Samsung's4K TV。The exhibition welcomed more than 3250 exhibitors, more than 20000 new products were released, and the net exhibition area reached 1.9 million square feet.

Samsung will launch a flexible smart phone display in 2013.This kind of screen will not break even if it falls to the ground.The real product may take several months to come out, but Samsung is expected to show the prototype product at CES.
Intel is famous for making chips for desktops and laptops, but has made few achievements in the field of smart phones and tablets.Most smart phones use those with similar operation capability but lower power consumptionARM processor。
Intel will focus on the mobile market and show some of the latest mobile chips at CES.The next challenge is to persuade manufacturers to actually use them.
6. Windows 8 tablets, laptops and hybrid products
Because Windows 8 has a touch interface, manufacturers will use this to introduce various flexible designs.In addition to ordinary laptops with touch screens and tablets with keyboards, there are also some hybrid products that can be changed between the two.
As the manufacturer continues to test Windows 8, it is expected that some new hardware designs and concepts will appear in this CES.
7. Super large screen phone
The so-called "tablet phone" trend will continue.Huawei and Sony have disclosed their super large screen phones.It is expected that other major manufacturers will also launch similar products.
8. Smartphone capable of playing 1080p full HD video
HTC launched the first Droid DNA mobile phone capable of playing 1080p full HD video.Most high-end mobile phones will have this function.It has been rumored that LG and Sony will launch such phones.
9. Equipment capable of wireless charging
At the end of last year, smart phones like Nokia Lumia 920 that can be charged wirelessly began to emerge.It is expected that wireless charging will become a new standard feature.
10. Connected home
This is one of the commitments that are hard to fulfill on CES every year.
All household appliances, lights, alarm systems, etc. can be connected to the Internet and controlled through the Internet. This demonstration product of networked homes will become a major theme of CES in 2013.
Many companies, such as Google and Eletric lmp, are trying to turn it into reality, but they have not yet made a real breakthrough.
11. Unmanned vehicles
We all know that Google has been developing driverless cars. Surprisingly, Toyota and Audi also announced that they will display driverless cars on CES.[12]
In 2012, Microsoft was still the core role of Keynote speech. Although Bill Gates has stepped down, Ballmer quickly took over the whip to take charge of Keynote speech.At the same time, the scale of CES exhibition also maintains a super high growth rate, whether in terms of number of people, venue or exhibitors,CES Consumer Electronics ShowIt is the most scientific and technological event.
