Samsung's CES 2024 TV rollout is here. The company typically reserves finer product details (including pricing) for later, but it provided Engadget with a quick rundown of its new television lineup ahead of its press conference on Monday. Its new 8K TVs have new AI-powered features, including upscaling technology (to help with the scarcity of native 8K content), and it claims a "glare-free" OLED model looks equally clear in bright and dark rooms. Samsung's new quantum dot TVs have AI-powered upscaling tech the company hopes will nudge curious consumers into paying a premium for an 8K TV. With most content providers currently lacking native 8K streaming options, Samsung's AI Upscaling Pro feature in its QN900D (65- to 85-inch) television can help by converting 4K content into 8K or HD / SD media into 4K.

After failing to unveil a new console at the E3 video game conference in June, Nintendo finally announced the long-expected Switch (OLED model) on Tuesday. The new console, available starting on October 8, will be priced at $349.99, $50 more than the base model Switch. Long rumored to be called the Switch Pro, the new console will have a seven-inch OLED screen, 64GB of internal storage, a wired LAN port and it comes with a kickstand for tabletop mode, similar to a tablet. It will come in two color schemes at launch: a white set that has white Joy-Con controllers, a black console and a white dock; and a neon red/neon blue set, that has neon red and blue controllers, a black console and a black dock.

It turns out video game fans will get a new Nintendo Switch model after all. After months of rumors about the arrival of an updated video game console, Nintendo announced it will release the Nintendo Switch (OLED model) on October 8 for $349.99. The upgraded Switch includes a bigger, 7-inch OLED screen, as well as a wide adjustable stand for use in tabletop mode, and a new dock which will support a wired internet connection. "The new Nintendo Switch (OLED model) is a great option for players who want to experience the new vibrant screen when playing in handheld and tabletop mode," said Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser, in a statement Tuesday. The new Switch will also bump up the amount of internal storage space from 32 GB in the original model to 64 GB.

Sony's latest trick for Bravia TVs is something called "cognitive intelligence" that can enhance parts of an image depending on what's going on. The first 4K TVs it released with the tech were high-end OLED models, but those started at $2,999 and went up from there. Now, Sony has unveiled its first LED models with the Cognitive Processor XR, and they're a lot more reasonably priced. The X90J is the top-end OLED model and it's available in 50-, 55- and 65-inch sizes at $1,299, $1,499 and $1,799, respectively. These offer the Cognitive Processor XR, though cinephiles will likely want to turn that off to see the content as the creators intended.

When Apple launched the iPhone X last year, many consumers were intrigued not only by its unique appearance but also because of its Face ID feature. The advanced biometric system that replaced Touch ID made headlines due to its sophisticated technology and security. So it does not come as a surprise that Face ID is coming to the 2018 lineup of iPhones as well. DigiTimes learned from industry sources Monday that Apple's Taiwanese partners are now preparing the 3D sensors needed for the facial recognition module of the iPhone X's successor --rumored to debut as iPhone 11 or iPhone XI. Apple and its 3D sensor suppliers are said to have just completed talks over shipments.
