Of course, we're right in the middle of the action as well, bringing you all the latest news as it unfolds. Have you been keeping track of our coverage?

Well, even if you haven't been meticulously following our news feed, fear not as you've landed at the right spot. Here we've collected all our CES 2013 coverage in one place – news, announcements, hands-ons and videos, you name it. New posts are being added at a regular basis, so make sure you come back later and update yourself on all the latest from the show.


Sony

Let us begin with what's surely among the most exciting announcements made so far – that of the Sony Xperia Z.

A pretty similar model known as the Sony Xperia ZL was also unveiled by the Japanese company.

Is any smartphone better than my galaxy note 2? 1080 playback isn't that important to me. I'm so happy with it that I like it better than my wife's Boobs! Thanks phoneareana for being there for us as usual. My note 2 has met every expectation and more and I'm a heavy business user. I can't imagine what's next. I could handle another inch of screen and more battery life is always a plus but that's all I could wish for.

Just wait til android Key lime pie is released and your waiting for an update then Samsung won't be that great. I bought the OG Note in Feb the day it was released in the US. ICS was out since Dec but the Note shipped with GB was told it would be updated to ICS by march at the latest, well I got the ICS update in July. In June JB was released was told the Note would get the update to JB by the end of Dec now it looks more like March if Samsung updates it at all. The thing with Samsung is they make a good phone with great hardware but software is ok but updates you get one and then there is no more support the exception is the S2 the phone that made Samsung a true player in smart phones but after JB support will end for that device as well.
