Samsung announces bezel-free 8K TV and auto-rotating 4K TV at CES 2020

CES 2020 hasn’t even officially begun yet and there’s already plenty of drool-worthy news for TV fans. First, Vizio introduced us to its first OLED TV and the rest of its new hardware for 2020, and now Samsung has shown off what it has in store for 2020 — and it won’t disappoint. We’re looking at a total of four QLED TVs: The much-anticipated, bezel-free Q950TS 8K TV, a motorized, rotating 4K TV called The Sero, an updated version of its minimalist Frame TV, and advancements with its modular The Wall 8K TV.

Q950TS 8K TV

While the Samsung Q950TS doesn’t have a name that’s quite as striking as Frame TV and The Sero, it’s the star of the show. This is for two reasons: 1) It’s an 8K TV, and 2) It has a bezel-free Infinity Screen. So mounted on the wall, it looks like a portal into an entertainment dimension — there’s no sizable bar running around the side. In fact, Samsung told our own Caleb Denison that it is 99% image and 1% border. Take that in for a second. 1%.
Under the hood, there’s a new, more advanced 8K Upscale Engine fueled by artificial intelligence. In a nutshell, this means it teaches itself how to improve the way it transforms both Full HD and 4K Ultra HD material into a higher 8K Ultra HD resolution — so the more you watch, the smarter and more precise it will become. Seeing as there’s virtually no 8K Ultra HD content around at the moment, it’s going to have a lot of time to practice.
Samsung has also taken backlighting to a whole new level, introducing a local power distribution method that delivers higher peak brightness without introducing more blooming. Or as Denison puts it, “the Q950TS should be able to display some impressive HDR images without a bunch of light leakage taking away from black levels.” Of course, we’ll have to wait until he sets his eyes on it to see whether that’s the case. We have nothing but hope.
On the sound front, Samsung has lined the every side of the television (even though it’s bezel-free, there’s still a frame that runs around the screen — it’s just microscopic) speakers, anchored by several drivers on the back of the television. Pair this with the built-in Tracking Sound+ software, which matches the movement of sound with its location on the screen, and it should make a more immersive viewing experience right out of the box.

The Sero

In an interesting move, Samsung showcased The Sero, which it released in Korea back in April 2019 — hinting at a worldwide release. Designed with mobile content in mind, it touts an integrated motor that rotates the screen to match the orientation of the material on a smartphone, be it vertical or horizontal. For instance, watching a video on Instagram will send the Sero into an upright position, while Netflix will keep it level — no human interaction needed.

Frame TV

Meet the Samsung Frame TV.
Also announced at CES 2020 was a refreshed model of the Frame TV, Samsung’s QLED 4K TV that looks like — and doubles as — an art frame. This latest model introduces two new sizes: 32 and 75 inches. It also sees the addition of a beige and burgundy bezel and new accessories, including a No-Gap Wall Mount and a slot for the manufacturer’s trademark One Invisible Connector, which sees all power and inputs fed through a single cable.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we
