Samsung is expected to collaborate with a number of mobile networks on 5G, but Sprint, in particular, is slated to carry the 5G smartphone.

Though there is still no release date for the Bixby Home smart speaker, it was all over Samsung’s CES presence. The manufacturer discussed how Bixby will be further integrated into other products, including its televisions and its concept for smart cars.

Samsung often has a focus on display-centered products during CES but the manufacturer really expanded this category for the 2019 show. Samsung introduced its latest QLED televisions, including the 98-inch and 85-inch 8K QLED sets as its flagships. While these models aren’t yet ready for consumers, there are 65-inch, 75-inch, and 82-inch 8K QLED TV models available for preorder

The TVs are equipped with support for the upcoming HDMI 2.1 standard, iTunes movies and TV shows and Apple AirPlay 2, Amazon Prime Video, nearly free 80 local and international channels, and a Bixby enabled Universal Guide AI system to help viewers with content suggestions.

Samsung MicroLED TV

We’ve already discussed Samsung’s 75-inch MicroLED 4K TV and its 219-inch  concept screen called “The Wall.” The products showcase Samsung’s seamless and bezel-less technology that would allow users to build and design the size and shape of their TVs according to their tastes or the size of their spaces.

Samsung’s SERIF at first looks like a canvas on an easel, but upon further inspection, you will realize that its edges are reminiscent of the SERIF font. The Frame is similarly a style inspired TV that doubles as a picture frame when not being used otherwise. Users can display famous works of art or even their own images or photography.
