The 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is the largest interactive technology event in the world with topnotch tech companies from around the world gathering to showcase their latest products.
Some of the key trends highlighted in recent tech reviews include:
Supersize Me Screens
Smartphones with ultra-large screens are now everywhere. More large-screen phones from major manufacturers seem likely.
Clearer Displays
2014 will open the door to pixel-sharp resolutions that'll go along with those ultra-large screens.
Hands-Free Controls
Voice actions, waving gestures, and tilting are all part of a greater category of controls that include gestures and voice actions that make your phone cooler and hopefully more convenient to use.
Ushering in 2014, a key theme in technology advancement is the convergence of a professional and personal lifestyle in devices - bringing content and technology together to transform the way we live, work and play.
So, one may be left asking, with phones already being "smart", what is "Smart Control" for a phone?
