The Consumers Electronics Show (CES) 2017 is expected to live up to the event's reputation when it comes to exhibiting new upgrades and developments in technology. Although the expo's official dates are from January 5 to 8, 2017, there will be quite a number of pre-show announcements on January 3 and 4.

The CES first began nearly half a century ago when people flocked to New York to check out the newest television sets, radios, and phonograph players. Since then, it was very rare for the exhibit's audience to leave with disappointment.

However, a week before the anticipated Las Vegas tech show, CNET has reported that CES will be featuring mid-range mobile devices instead of high-end products. According to the news source, very few high-end phones have been launched at the show in the past several years. Instead, the public got to see more flagship devices at the Mobile World Congress which takes place every February.

Gary Shapiro, the CEO of CES, recently spoke with USA Today and revealed that the upcoming event will cover "every spectrum of our existence." He neither confirmed nor denied reports regarding a sub-par display of smartphones, but he did say that CES 2017 will have "more categories than any other show in history."

Shapiro mentioned that the current tech industry has experienced a "huge growth in wearables" that are aimed at both professional and amateur sports enthusiasts. Plus, CES 2017 will also feature gadgets that tackle certain aspects of life from "how we learn and how we are educated to how we get things and ourselves from one place to another."

The CES 2017 is also expected to highlight the latest TV technology, which would include High Dynamic Range. According to Yann Lafargue, the Manager of Corporate Communications of Netflix, this feature is "a big leap forward." "It offers a new set of tools we can use to make bright and colorful scenes really pop," he told Tech Radar.
