Samsung’s press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show went for 1.5 hours so rather than inflict that on iTWire readers here are a few highlights.
iTWire has covered some of the announcements
We did not cover the Odyssey Gaming notebook or Note 9 notebooks as they will only be released in the US. Curved HDR Quantum Dot computer monitors are new.
Its Universal Family Hub 2.0 and Smart Appliances including a four-in-one laundry game changer and a Powerbot VR7000 robot vacuum are interesting but space and time were at a premium.
