Their screens also exhibit enhanced resistance to scratches and fractures, as demonstrated by the Ceramic Board glass of the OnePlus 13 smartphone. Other brands have introduced interesting design elements to the smart devices presented at CES 2025, such as the waterproof mesh fabric enveloping XGIMI’s laser projector.

It is also capable of recharging any laptop, and if desired, users can connect up to three devices at once without overheating issues. There is a small digital readout at the bottom of the rectangular power bank, allowing users to track the charging progress and remaining battery life.
