CES 2016 dates, rumors and predictions


Update November 1: Netflix has made a splash at past CESes (including the 2015 edition), so it seems only fitting that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings will give a keynote speech at this coming year's show. Hastings is scheduled to speak on Wednesday, January 6 and will discuss Netflix's plan to go global by the end of 2016.
The months are rushing by as we approach CES 2016. While we'll update this page soon with even more rumors and predictions, we wanted to share the official CES 2016 hashtag so you know just what to search for on Twitter and Facebook for all the latest show news (besides following @techradar, of course).
It's pretty darn easy to remember: just type in "#ces2016" and you'll open up a world of posts related to the show.
Another tidbit: One of the big themes of the show will be virtual reality and cars. On the VR front, the organizing body behind CES is expanding its Gaming & Virtual Reality Marketplace this year. More than 40 exhibitors will show off their VR systems and environments as well as gaming hardware, software and accessories designed for all device types. Sounds fun, if you ask us.
As for auto tech, CES 2016 is expanding its car-related show floor exhibits by 25% compared to CES 2015. Audi, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, Toyota and Volkswagen will all be at the show, while Delphi will use the conference to celebrate its 20th anniversary. To that end, it will bring its first concept vehicle to CES.
Now that we are in the second half of the year, it's time we starting talking about the next year's biggest tech event: CES 2016.
The casino-laden town of Las Vegas will once again play the role of welcoming host as the show kicks off January 6 and runs through January 9. Of course, there will be pre-show happenings as well starting the weekend and Monday prior to January 6.
While it typically takes a long while before we see products announced at CES make it onto store shelves, it's never too soon to start sniffing out the goods when it comes to trends and the next hot piece of tech.
So here's what we think we'll see at CES early next year. We'll keep this article constantly updated to make sure you're up-to-date on the latest phones, tablets, TVs, wearables, and of course, virtual reality news leading up to the most massive show of 2016.

Mo' mobile

CES 2015 saw the release of the LG G Flex 2 , which made huge waves during the show. That's partly due to the fact that LG was the only large company to release a new flagship device at CES.
Of course, we haven't heard much from the LG camp about an LG G Flex 3, but it is possible that other phone makers may jump in to grab the bragging rights for the best mobile phone to come outta Vegas. Still, don't get your hopes up too high: it isn't typical for companies to show new phones at CES since most wait for Mobile World Congress, held in February.
Any handset we do see at CES 2016 will be releasing out to a world that has the iPhone 6S and a potential new Nexus 5 in it, so competition will be stiff.
