2018年消费电子展：今年的科技大展有哪些值得期待

2018年消费电子展将于1月7日在拉斯维加斯开幕，于1月12日以一场媒体的记者招待会结束。与以往每年一样，三星（Samsung）、LG、索尼（Sony）、谷歌等科技届最鼎鼎有名的公司都会出席。尽管他们目前尚未宣布展出计划，不过所有迹象都表明届时会有重大宣布或突破性的技术亮相。

那么，2018年消费电子展有哪些值得期待？以下是我们的预测：

电视将是重头戏

电视必然会是2018年消费电子展上的瞩目焦点之一。LG可能会展示不可思议的超薄新款有机发光二极管（OLED）屏幕。索尼、Vizio和无数其他公司也可能会在消费电子展上亮出新机型。预计它们都有华丽的屏幕、鲜活的色彩，以及某些情况下高昂的价格。

可折叠的Galaxy X？

三星不会在消费电子展上公布盛传的Galaxy S9，不过他们可能会透露谣传已久的Galaxy X。这款设备或许会是可折叠的智能手机，从而能将标准的大约5英寸屏幕拓展到超过7英寸。它可能会在消费电子展上大出风头。

虚拟现实、增强现实和混合现实

各式各样的头戴式设备，可能会出现在消费电子展的每个角落。我们很可能看到虚拟现实和增强现实领域的新进展，以及配有结合两者的混合现实技术的头戴式设备。Magic Leap这家混合现实头戴式设备公司被宣传得天花乱坠，它会是展览上每个人关注的目标。

汽车技术的发展

随着全球的公司都开始为自动驾驶汽车做好准备，许多汽车厂商会借消费电子展来展示他们的进展。福特（Ford）、通用汽车（GM）、梅赛德斯-奔驰（Mercedes-Benz）和其他一些公司会参展，届时可能会有新的概念设计和关于自动驾驶技术的讨论，任何长期的汽车技术迷都会为此感到兴奋。

引人注目的可穿戴技术

国际数据公司（IDC）最近的研究显示，可穿戴设备市场将会在未来几年里迅速发展。各公司预计会提供包括智能服装、智能手表在内的各种产品，满足消费者的需求。预计我们会在消费电子展上看到有关可穿戴技术的大量概念。

海量个人电脑

戴尔（Dell）、惠普（HP）和联想（Lenovo）将会在2018年消费电子展上占据突出的位置。这只意味着一件事：我们会看到许多电脑。我们预计会发现新的设计概念和高端配置，不过也可能会看到他们把重点放在结合了笔记本和平板电脑功能的二合一混合式设备。与超高端iMac Pro竞争的台式机也很有可能出现。

别指望看到苹果

全球最大的科技公司不会参加每年最大的科技展览。苹果每年都会放弃消费电子展，并把时间花在自己的产品发布会上。然而，苹果在消费电子展上会很有存在感，无数公司将会展示出以各种方式整合了苹果产品的新产品。（财富中文网）

CES 2018 starts in Las Vegas on January 7 with a news conference for the media and shutters its doors on January 12. Like every other year, some of the biggest names in the technology industry, including Samsung, LG, Sony, and Google, will be in attendance. And although they haven’t yet announced their plans for the show, all signs are pointing to big announcements and groundbreaking tech.

So, what might we expect from CES 2018? Read on for our predictions:

TVs, TVs, TVs

Televisions will of course be one of the highlights of CES 2018. LG will likely showcase new organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screens that come with impossibly thin designs. And Samsung could wow us with new versions of its line of televisions. Sony, Vizio, and countless other companies will also likely showcase new sets at the show. And look for them all to offer gorgeous screens, vibrant colors, and, in some cases, lofty price tags.

A Foldable Galaxy X?

Samsung won’t unveil the rumored Galaxy S9 at CES, but it could take the wraps off its long-rumored Galaxy X. That device is believed to be a foldable smartphone that will extend the smartphone’s screen to a standard size of about 5 inches to more than 7 inches. It could steal the show at CES.

VR, AR, and Mixed Reality

Headsets of every variety will likely find their way to every corner at CES. We’re likely to see new advancements in virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as headsets featuring mixed reality that can combine the two. Magic Leap, a much-hyped company working on a mixed reality headset, is the company everyone will be watching.

Bring on the Car Tech

As companies around the globe prepare for self-driving cars, many automakers will take to the CES floor to showcase their progress. Companies like Ford, GM, Mercedes-Benz, and others will be at the show, and there will likely be new concept designs and talk of autonomous car tech that will make any longtime car tech fan excited.

Compelling Wearable Tech

The wearable market is on pace to grow significantly in the next several years, according to recent research from IDC. And companies are expected to offer everything from smart clothing to a variety of smartwatches to satisfy consumer demand. Look for a slew of wearable tech concepts to be at CES.

A Boatload of PCs

Dell, HP, and Lenovo will all be taking up prominent positions at CES 2018. And that can only mean one thing: we’ll be seeing lots and lots of computers. Expect to find new design concepts and high-end machines. But also expect to see a focus on two-in-one hybrid devices that can act both as notebooks and tablets. Desktops to compete with ultra-high-end iMac Pro also seem likely.

Don’t Expect to See Apple

The biggest tech company won’t be at the biggest technology event of the year. Appleeach year blows off CES and instead focuses its time on its own product showcases. However, Apple will feature prominently at CES, with countless companies showcasing new products that in one way or another integrate with the company’s products.
