CES 2025 live: All the big reveals from the world's greatest tech show

In brief:

When is CES 2025?

While CES 2025 officially takes place from Tuesday 7 through until Saturday 11 January 2025, the days preceding the show floor's opening are when many reveals happen and big news begins to drop.

Indeed, Sunday 5 and Monday 6 January are the two media preview days, which is when much of the heavy lifting happens. During this time, behind-the-scenes briefings happen ahead of product embargoes – so if it's quiet you can expect a raft of new reveals to come pouring out thereafter...

CES 2025: What to expect?

CES has often been seen as an audio-video show, with the best new TVs among the most prominent new products – and products you really need to see in person to understand. For 2025 that will no doubt continue, with the annual Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Hisense and TCL reveals likely to take place. Like last year, however, it's most likely that Sony will take a step back for a later-in-the-year reveal.

Beyond that – and with Samsung's Galaxy S25 series phone launch not expected until later in the month – the general thematic shift in CES' exhibitors has moved in part towards automotive and health focuses. So while at this early stage there have been few reveals from some of the majors, the breadth the show offers is both expansive and exciting.

Short-throw projectors are all the rage

Little projectors capable of big-screen projections are all the rage – as was the case at last year's CES, too – with this new Hisense L9Q able to produce a giant 150-inch image, without needing to fill your living room.

A welcome from Las Vegas

This is not your casual Sunday after Christmas. This is the CES Sunday. A Sunday with more than a sprinkling of jetlag, a very full calendar, and lots of exciting things to see – so stay tuned for live reveals in this blog as CES 2025 begins to bear its fruits.

A new Dolby Atmos rival

The first big reveal wasn't for a physical product, per se, but it's something that could affect many future product launches: Google's reveal of Eclipsa Audio, its new Dolby Atmos rivalling three-dimensional audio technology.

Revealed in tandem with Samsung, whose 2025 TVs will feature the ability to decode the audio format, Eclipsa Audio will be a new standard in immersive audio experiences. It's designed with creators in mind, as the ability to upload to YouTube is part of the deal.

Exactly how it'll all work, or whether we even need another immersive audio format, is yet to be revealed in full – but it won't be long before Eclipsa Audio is available in products, bringing a rival to Dolby's Atmos.

New LG OLED TVs

LG has revealed two of its new OLED TVs: the flagship LG OLED M5 is a true wireless set, allowing for 4K 144Hz video to be transmitted with no need for cables, while the LG OLED G5 has a 165Hz refresh rate – upgrading last year's LG OLED G4 model.

CES Unveiled opens

The first of the CES preview events has just opened its doors here in Las Vegas. It’s the first real chance to get hands on with some of the new products ahead of the show itself.

Samsung First Look 2025

While Samsung has an official press conference at CES 2025, the Korean giant reveals its products at a separate First Look preview event ahead of the show starting. This year it's all about AI – with its new TVs getting even smarter, offering features such as live translation.

LG's new TV tech

LG was first out the blocks with its TV reveal, though, with the top-tier LG OLED G5 being a stunning entry in the new range. It uses a new panel technology – multi-layered OLED – and does away with the MLA panel type of its predecessor. That's an unexpected advance, but an exciting one for the TV landscape.
