Booths are being tore down. The show floor is getting quiet. Another CES has come to a close (though we still have some content coming). This year may not have been full of new phones, but there was still some cool stuff to see. We had a couple of people on the ground in Las Vegas covering everything that had to do with Android. Here are some of the big stories:
- ASUS ZenFone 2 announced as first phone with 4GB of RAM
- Hands-on with the new LG G Flex 2
- The CEO of YotaPhone gave us hands-on with the awesome YotaPhone 2
- This $300 Mad Catz mobile gaming controller looks like it could kill someone
- Hands-on with Sony’s crazily expensive Android-based Walkman ZX2
- Sony unveils a stainless steel SmartWatch 3
- Razer’s Forge Android TV gaming console could be the coolest thing in your living room
- Can’t afford a new car for Android Auto? Pioneer’s bringing 3 in-dash stereos to add it to your old one
- Dish Sling TV will let you stream ESPN and other channels without a cable subscription
We also covered a lot of things that weren’t necessarily “big news,” but they were cool/weird/interesting. Here are a few to check out:
- You’ll want to go “hands-on” with Toshiba’s latest “Android”
- Forget the dad-phone, this is the perfect phone for grandma
- Bring Instagram into the real world with the Polaroid Zip printer
- Binatone’s camera-equipped dog collar will let you see the world through your pup’s eyes
- Lenovo addresses real problems, makes a Selfie Flash for phones
Those stories are only the tip of the iceberg. We covered everything from app-enabled pet feeders to TV’s that are nearly thinner than your phone. CES was crazy this year, and we want to know what you liked from the show. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Android related. Take this time to geek out about gadgets in the comments!
ASUS Zenphone 2 for sure. Great specs for the price.
Stainless steel Sony SW3.
Pretty bad year for mobile, as expected.
If I had to pick I guess it would be the fact that Android Auto will be coming to 3rd parties, however all announcements were too expensive for me.
Come on where’s the dell Xps 13! The amazing bezeless screen is somewhat like no other.
Mercedes f015
Seriously, you didn’t mention the Saygus V2? That’s probably the best, well-rounded, top spec’d Android device created. That’s what I’m saving for right now. I NEED the Saygus V2.
TV’s if I had to pick anything. Personally, I wasn’t all that wow’d by anything in the mobile/tablet space at this CES. Hopefully, MWC brings more interesting news, but as it becomes increasingly popular for execs to show tech behind close doors and in the shadows of these large trade shows- i think it would be safe to say, I won’t be holding my breath for anything amazing, anytime soon.
The huge amount of Windows tablets and PCs that were shown
Which ones? I honestly didn’t see to much coverage of windows other than the new Asus and Lenovo super thin two in ones
G Flex 2
G Flex 2, not fair cause I don’t know too much about the rest but the flex 2 is something I have been waiting for since the first was released and LG did not disappoint me.
Yota.
Dish sling has potential.
CES isn’t really big for phones
I was pretty underwhelmed this year.

Yota Phone 2
My favorite is not here in the list. It is Nexus 6 that I am trying to buy from Play Store. I
know it was launched much before CES 2015 but still Play store is struggling to keep them in stock. The best feature I like in it is faster charging with turbo charger and compatibility with wireless car charger.
