The most successful Consumer Electronic Show to date, CES 2012

More than 2,700 companies took part in Consumer Electronics Show 2012 using up 171 963 net square meters of showroom floor where over 20,000 new products were exhibited.

Probably the most interesting announcements came from Sony, the Japanese electronics giant. Their Xperia lineup got two more additions in the face of the Xperia ion and Xperia S. PlayStation Vita, the portable device from Sony that will replace the PSP was also showcased at the event. It is expected to arrive in Europe in February.

Nokia also introduced a new member of the Lumia range, the Lumia 900, which looks to be the most complete Lumia smartphone since launch of first of its kind in October. The bigger screen than its peers and the LTE speeds were the icing on the cake.

Next big thing was Samsung, which announced a plethora of 4G phones for AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. AT&T was given the LTE Galaxy Note in addition to Exhilarate and the Skyrocket HD. Verizon and Sprint didn’t get so much from the will except for attention from Samsung. They got only the Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE and the Galaxy Nexus LTE, respectively.

HTC on the other hand announced only one new device and it was a stunner, the all new HTC Titan II for AT&T. Its monstrous 16 mega-pixel camera came out of nowhere and quickly grabbed the attention.

Motorola also attended the CES and showed off the RAZR MAXX and the Droid 4. The RAZR MAXX was created with battery endurance in mind, carrying a massive 3300 mAh battery.

LG announced a couple of phones, the LG Viper and the LG Spectrum, in addition to its mesmerizing new OLED television.

One of the surprises at CES 2012 was Huawei. The Chinese company announced two Android smartphones, the Huawei Ascend P1 and Ascend P1 S. Both phones are aiming directly at the big Android players out there.

Of course, CES 2012 had way more to offer than the announcement above and the best part was that the event was only the warm up to the technology industry’s biggest event. The MWC 2012 is just around the corner (starting this February 27) and there will be more gadgetry at the event to keep the audience at their toes.
