The CES 2021 technology show had the usual high-tech parade of TVs, laptops, phones and robots, but the masks made this year’s event different.
Here are some of the highlights of CES 2021, which ends on Thursday.
Smart masks:
– AirPop Active + comes with smart sensors that measure pollutant levels and can track things like your breathing rate. AirPop claims that its masks have the bacterial protection barrier of medical masks, but the comfort of consumer masks. The AirPop Active + mask with four filters that lasts 40 hours each costs $ 149.99.
– Project Hazel is a N95 mask from Razer with a built-in microphone and amplifier so your speech is not muffled. A removable fan regulates the air flow and a cargo box is lined with an interior of ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and viruses while the mask loads. No price or release date yet.
Rollable phones:
The LG Rollable has a screen that expands from a smartphone to a tablet. Although there are few details at this stage, it does not fold with a hinge like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, but expands, or unfolds, into a larger device. TCL was also exhibiting a 6.7-inch rollable AMOLED display aimed at smartphones. It can expand to 7.8 inches.

The best and latest smartphone from Samsung. On Thursday, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

8K TV passes mid-range:
TCL presented its mid-range 6K 8K TVs at CES. TCL is known for offering affordable TVs, so we can have the first taste of simpler prices for 8K.

The price has not yet been announced, but the Series 6 has always been an intermediate line for TCL.
