Samsung unveiled AI-powered products at CES 2026: Everything announced from the year's first press conference CES 2026 kicked off with a big press conference from one of the biggest companies at the show: Samsung. The tech giant held its first look presentation to show off new home products and make a plethora of AI-infused announcements. New TVs, speakers, projectors and more were among the headliners, along with updated gaming monitors and soundbars. Many of the products announced on stage were not actually new, but instead had been dripped out by Samsung recently. We did get a closer look a previously undisclosed set, a flagship 130-inch Micro RGB TV framed by a giant metal easel with embedded speakers.

NVIDIA is showcasing robotics, simulation, gaming and more at CES 2026. During CES 2025, NVIDIA spent much of its keynote touting its leading position in artificial intelligence. Still, the company managed to squeeze in a few notable hardware announcements, including its RTX 5000-series GPUs and Project Digits desktop supercomputer (later redubbed Spark). For this year's show, the company's website says it's lighting up CES 2026 with the power of AI. To that end, NVIDIA is going big in Las Vegas, promising hands-on demos in its Fontainebleau booth, replete with the latest NVIDIA solutions driving innovation and productivity across industries.

How to watch the Samsung'First Look' CES 2026 presentation Samsung is kicking off CES with a press conference tonight. Samsung is arguably the 800-pound gorilla of CES, since many of the other consumer tech titans -- Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon -- either no longer have a presence, or have never shown up to begin with. In the past, that's given Samsung free range to bow a full spectrum of products that range from phones and computers to refrigerators, AI assistants and rolling robots. But for CES 2026, the company is switching things up a bit: Instead of its longtime midday Monday press conference, the Korean giant will take the lead of the show with a Sunday night presentation. Over the past few weeks, Samsung has been dropping press releases left and right, so we know at least some of what to expect in Vegas this year. Of course, we're holding out hope that we get to hear an update on the Ballie robot -- a star of previous CES presentations that ostensibly missed its previously promised 2025 release date .

The German engineering and tech giant will discuss how it's bridging the physical and digital gap with people-centric tech. You might recognize Bosch as a home appliance name (thanks to its partnership with Siemens), but the German multinational brand's core business is really about providing the underlying technology and engineering that powers cars, homes and factories around the world. That focus is reflected at CES 2026, where much of what Bosch is unveiling is intended to be licensed to other companies rather than sold as Bosch-branded products on store shelves. Case in point is Bosch's automotive plans at CES. The company is showcasing what it calls AI in the car, or more specifically, in the cockpit of the car.

The Korean electronics giant will showcase new TVs and plenty of AI-powered products when it kicks off press day in Las Vegas. For years, LG has opened CES press day with the first event of the morning -- and 2026 will be no exception. The Korea-based corporation is theming this year's presentation as Innovation in Tune with You, and -- if past shows are any indication -- it will highlight both the consumer electronics and large appliance sides of its mammoth global businesses. As with many tech-focused events nowadays, AI is expected to serve as the unifying thread of LG's CES 2026 presentation. That said, LG -- much like Apple -- has its own take on the acronym, referring to it as Affectionate Intelligence.
