Smart home collaborations</h2><img src="https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/e3c861e5dcd1f0e1411a9ec5088b5505722fd27c/2025/01/02/0dea2461-0e41-44bd-8ead-11314127c389/lifestyle-image-4.png?auto=webp&width=1280" alt="Ring Kidde" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Ring/KiddeSmart home devices are about to get even smarter thanks to a few key collaborations we've seen at CES. First off, <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/smart-home/rings-big-ces-announcement-includes-new-kidde-smoke-alarms-and-2k-cam-upgrades/" target="_blank">Ring and Kidde are pairing up</a> to launch a new collection of smart smoke and combination detectors featuring Ring technology. When the alarms detect harmful levels of smoke or carbon monoxide (CO), you'll receive a notification through the Ring app. <h2>12. TCL's new devices are easy on the eyes</h2><img src="https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/d4707386c62e2012a5b042f8a8c774ad70b673dc/2025/01/05/2e0764e2-e2fd-493b-b810-147c482c1a26/dsc02916.jpg?auto=webp&width=1280" alt="TCL Nxtpaper 60 XE 5G phone at CES" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Kerry Wan/ZDNETTCL debuted two new devices that caught our eye and benefit your eyes. The <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/tcls-new-5g-phone-wont-strain-your-eyes-or-your-wallet-and-its-coming-to-the-us/" target="_blank">TCL 60 XE Nxtpaper 5G</a> is a smartphone with Nxtpaper 3.0 display technology, which blocks blue light to promote visual comfort and reduce eye strain. And, of course, there's AI involved: the Smart Eye Comfort Mode and the Personalized Eye Comfort Mode adaptively configure the display's colors, brightness, and contrast levels based on the user's preference.<h2>13. Lots of laptops</h2><img src="https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/3ad37ae7f4668e12a547e924db4f0e724547964c/2025/01/06/e54aa4cf-2612-42c6-964a-9f82585a72a0/img-8525.jpg?auto=webp&width=1280" alt="Dell Plus" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETMonday seems to be the day dedicated to laptops, as we've so far seen announcements from HP, Dell, and Acer. HP's <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/hp-shows-off-three-next-gen-laptops-and-revamps-it-desktops-at-ces-2025/" target="_blank">Elitebook series got an AI boost</a>, and Dell nixed its XPS namesake to <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/dell-just-revamped-its-entire-laptop-portfolio-and-the-new-names-sound-oddly-familiar/" target="_blank">rebrand its entire portfolio</a> into the Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max. These Dell models will, of course, feature AI capabilities alongside Wi-Fi 7 support and snappy performance. <h2>14. A hands-free smart lock with ultra-wideband</h2><img src="https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/f3b8764af83af5357af6c1c8730b8867dcddcb4d/2025/01/08/a1921630-7582-484d-b674-5415dae24844/ultraloq.jpg?auto=webp&width=1280" alt="Ultraloq Bolt Mission UWB+NFC" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Maria Diaz/ZDNETThere have been a few smart lock announcements at CES this year, but we think the <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/smart-home/i-saw-the-first-smart-lock-to-support-uwb-at-ces-2025-and-it-knows-if-youre-inside-or-out/" target="_blank">Ultraloq Bolt Mission smart lock</a> is the most groundbreaking. Not only does it use ultra-bandwidth (UWB) technology to unlock your door hands-free as you approach it, but UWB also allows for precision tracking of approved devices that is highly accurate and more secure. <h2>15. An alternative to Dolby Atmos</h2><img src="https://www.zdnet.com/a/img/resize/b32cb7fd9051cd9538fcc637b39852fe4fc5bf77/2025/01/05/a2ab2c91-3689-4399-b6f2-0e5e2d81ccb1/samsung-and-google-will-unveil-their-own-dolby-atmos-alternative-at-ces-2025.jpg?auto=webp&width=1280" alt="Samsung TV on a pink background with waveforms around it." class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />ZDNETEclipsa Audio is <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/samsung-and-googles-alternative-to-dolby-atmos-may-be-the-most-exciting-audio-product-at-ces-2025/" target="_blank">Samsung and Google's answer to Dolby Atmos</a>. One big difference in this new 3D audio format compared to Dolby Atmos is that it doesn't have licensing fees; it will be a free and open-source audio format. So far, the format is available only on <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/best-samsung-tv/" target="_blank">Samsung's 2025 lineup</a> of <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/crystal-uhd-vs-qled-a-comparison-for-buying-samsung-tvs/" target="_blank">Crystal UHD</a> to Neo QLED 8K TVs and its 2025 lineup of soundbars, but we're excited to hear it in person nonetheless.
