Advanced Technology and Design Korea's 2013 CES Preview

Published on 2013/01/13 | Source

Excitement is at fever-pitch for the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which starts today. Last November, we told you about how Korean electronics superstars Samsung and LG swept honors in the 2013 CES Innovation Awards. They're not done impressing the tech world yet, so stay tuned for the latest updates on CES!

The hottest rumor about LG is that the company will unveil the Optimus G2, expected to follow up the wildly successful Optimus G. The successor may have a 5-inch display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution and a new Snapdragon S4 "Prime" processor. LG has given some tantalizing hints about the Optimus G2, but it's anyone's guess as to whether it'll show up at CES or be held off for MWC next month.

Check out this video teaser from LG and let us know what you think:

While Samsung probably won't debut the much-anticipated Galaxy S2 at CES, we're excited to see the 110-inch ultra high-definition (UHD) TVs the company has promised. With over 8 million pixels, it has four times the resolution of regular LCD HDTV. Samsung will also unveil a smaller UHDTV with an 85-inch display.

Samsung will reveal more products in its TV lineup at CES. In the meantime, here's a video teaser about what you can expect.
