CES 2025 has officially commenced in Las Vegas. The keynote presentations on Monday featured prominent talks from Samsung, Nvidia, Toyota, and Sony, among others, while Tuesday focused on the thrilling new gadgets showcased on the exhibition floor. TechCrunch reporters are present to provide you with the latest updates from the conference.
Listed below are the most significant announcements from the inaugural official day of CES.
Automotive unveilings from Honda, BMW, and Uber
Honda introduced the 0 SUV, a midsize SUV prototype expected to join the 0 Saloon that Honda showcased at last year’s exhibition. A version ready for production will first launch in North America in early 2026 before expanding to other global markets.
Uber will utilize Nvidia’s novel generative world model simulation tool, Cosmos, alongside its cloud-based AI supercomputing platform to aid in developing autonomous vehicle technology. However, Uber has not disclosed many specific details regarding how it intends to employ the Nvidia tools.
BMW is upgrading its in-car user interface with the most significant modification being a widget-based framework that allows users to personalize the layout — even on the car’s windshield. That said, there is no actual display on the windshield itself. Instead, screens are integrated into the dashboard, reflecting onto a specially treated segment of the glass.
Distinctive gaming accessories and consoles
Acer unveiled two fresh gaming handhelds at CES 2025, but one was unexpectedly impressive. The Nitro Blaze 11 features a massive 10.95-inch screen, truly challenging the conventional boundaries of what defines a gaming handheld. This gadget weighs over 1kg (2.3 pounds) and not only matches the size of the 11-inch iPad Air but also weighs as much as two iPad Airs stacked on top of one another.
Razer presented a conceptual gaming chair equipped with heating and cooling capabilities. This system includes a self-adjusting heater that can reach temperatures up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring comfort during extended gaming sessions.
The (somewhat) resurrection of Radio Shack
Radio Shack has made its return to CES following a rather turbulent period for physical electronics retailers. In 2023, Unicomer Group secured the global rights to the brand and is now incorporating RadioShack branding into an array of consumer electronics, including a Bluetooth speaker with RGB lighting, a gaming chair, headphones, and a projector.
A plethora of health and fitness products
Numerous products and innovations in the health sector were showcased at the event.
Kombu unveiled a home kombucha brewing device named The Fermenstation. The company hopes this product will facilitate users in combining all essential steps of the DIY brewing process while overcoming common setup challenges.
Segway introduced the Xyber and the Xafari. These new e-bikes are crafted to enhance the riding experience by making it safer, more convenient, and more accessible. The firm is currently accepting preorders and anticipates deliveries to commence in February.
Withings launched the BPM Vision, a portable home blood pressure monitor with interchangeable arm cuffs. Priced at $130, the device provides measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, assisting users in identifying and managing issues like hypertension.
