CES 2025 is now officially underway – and we’re on the show floor at the world’s biggest tech show to help you separate the duds from the genuinely exciting new tech coming out this year.
What’s happened so far? As always, new TVs have starred, with Samsung and LG both revealing their latest flagship OLED ranges. Samsung has also revealed its new The Frame Pro TV – and after seeing it in the flesh, we’re impressed. Hisense also just launched the largest mini-LED TV yet, a 116-inch beast.
There’s been some big news on the graphics cards front too, with nVidia revealing its GeForce RTX 5000 series, led by the flagship RTX 5090. At the other end of the scale, we’ve also just seen the launch of the Snapdragon X CPU, which could help deliver much more affordable Copilot+ PCs.
The smart home and wearables have also again been a big theme of CES 2025. From a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm for picking up socks to the promising (if polarizing) Halliday Smart Glasses, the launches are coming thick and fast – and we’re only just getting started.
For a quick summary of the latest news, check out the list below – but for our very latest finds and experiences direct from the CES 2025 show floor in Las Vegas, read on…

First look: LG C5 OLED TV
LG’s new mid-range C5 OLED TV wasn’t given the fanfare of its G5 and M5 flagship TVs, but TechRadar’s Matt Bolteon (Managing Editor, Entertainment) managed to track it down for a demo. And if you’re in the market for well-priced panel in 2025, it’s shaping up very nicely.
There’s no pricing for it yet (and that’ll be key), but it’ll effectively be an LG C4 with improved processing, a slightly brighter display, and new webOS features. We’ve called it “another great-looking set” – to find out why, check out our full report from the show floor below.

Eyes-on with Samsung’s new The Frame Pro TV
We’ve always been a little ambivalent about Samsung’s popular The Frame TVs at TechRadar, but that could soon change. Our resident TV expert Matt Bolton has just seen a demo of the The Frame Pro mini-LED TV at CES 2025 and says “the new screen is a total game-changer”.
When compared to the classic The Frame model, the difference is apparently “night and day” due to the inclusion of the company’s Neo QLED mini-LED tech and local dimming, which improves realism and means the “colors are massively richer and bold”.
I saw The Frame Pro in action next to a regular 2024 The Frame TV, and the difference is staggering. We’ve always had a slightly cool relationship with The Frame TVs here on TechRadar, because they’re wildly popular and we understand why people like them, but it always rankled that they used such mediocre image tech.
