00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,928
[MUSIC PLAYING]

2
00:00:03,928 --> 00:00:22,095


3
00:00:22,095 --> 00:00:25,970
We came, we saw, we argued.

4
00:00:25,970 --> 00:00:27,770
After five days on
the ground at CES

5
00:00:27,770 --> 00:00:30,770
attending press conferences,
scouring the show floor,

6
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:32,970
getting hands-on with
as much as we can,

7
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:36,050
we're finally ready to
proclaim the best of the best.

8
00:00:36,050 --> 00:00:38,780
This is Engadget's sixth year in
a row judging the official Best

9
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:39,900
of CES awards.

10
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,410
And this year, our list
included 16 categories,

11
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:44,370
not including People's Choice.

12
00:00:44,370 --> 00:00:45,170
Here's who won out.

13
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:47,690


14
00:00:47,690 --> 00:00:49,430
As always, accessibility
tech turned out

15
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:51,380
to be one of our most
crowded categories,

16
00:00:51,380 --> 00:00:53,990
with a diverse range of
gadgets that address problems

17
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:55,890
with hearing and mobility.

18
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:58,130
This year's winner is
the Samsung GEMS-H,

19
00:00:58,130 --> 00:01:00,500
a lightweight lower
body exoskeleton

20
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,019
weighing just 4.6 pounds,
making it comfortable to wear.

21
00:01:04,019 --> 00:01:05,209
There are two modes--

22
00:01:05,209 --> 00:01:08,290
one to relieve people who would
otherwise have trouble walking,

23
00:01:08,290 --> 00:01:11,030
and another mode that actually
adds resistance to help people

24
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:12,880
rehabilitate after an injury.

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,380
Though Samsung might not be
known for its medical gear

26
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:18,275
here in the US, it runs
hospitals in its native Korea

27
00:01:18,275 --> 00:01:20,840
and already has a line
of assistive wearables.

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,700
That means we're pretty
hopeful Samsung will put

29
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,490
this technology to good use.

30
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:28,260
We've seen mixed
reality headsets before,

31
00:01:28,260 --> 00:01:31,200
but the Light is the first
one that doesn't look awkward.

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,990
Inside those slim frames are
loads of cameras and sensors

33
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:36,300
that make for some accurate
inside-out tracking and

34
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:38,640
crisp, 1080p laser projections.

35
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,400
As a bonus, you can even
swap in prescription lenses.

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,960
We saw many important health
gadgets at CES this week,

37
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:47,630
but we were most
impressed by Triple

38
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:50,120
W's DFree, the
portable ultrasound

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,050
monitor trained on the bladder.

40
00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:53,450
This device tracks
bladder levels

41
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:56,600
and it sends alerts to
patients and/or caretakers.

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,580
And since it has the
potential to lessen

43
00:01:58,580 --> 00:02:00,980
the need for disposable
diapers, this device

44
00:02:00,980 --> 00:02:02,990
might help restore
patients' dignity,

45
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:07,400
and it's more environmentally
friendly, to boot.

46
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,860
At first glance, the Omron
looks like a sporty watch,

47
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:13,040
but in fact, it has a built-in
blood pressure cuff, allowing

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,735
people with hypertension
and other conditions

49
00:02:14,735 --> 00:02:17,920
to take their reading any time
with the push of a button.

50
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:20,480
And it wasn't just we who were
impressed by the technology.

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,430
The FDA has also cleared
it for use in the US.

52
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:27,410
The most exciting bit
of transportation tech

53
00:02:27,410 --> 00:02:30,450
isn't a car or a complete
imagining of transportation.

54
00:02:30,450 --> 00:02:32,900
It's a semi with level
two assistive features.

55
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:35,570
That means adaptive cruise
control, lane assist,

56
00:02:35,570 --> 00:02:37,460
and auto-braking technologies.

57
00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:40,210
Those might be familiar
features in a consumer vehicle,

58
00:02:40,210 --> 00:02:41,930
but the Daimler
Freightliner Cascadia

59
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:43,670
is the first time those
technologies have been

60
00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:45,510
available on a truck like this.

61
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:48,500
And this isn't just about making
truck drivers' jobs easier.

62
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,900
It will also make the roads
safer for other motorists

63
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:54,050
and pedestrians.

64
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:55,700
Plenty of companies
have tried to recreate

65
00:02:55,700 --> 00:02:59,060
the immersion of a 5.1
surround system in a sound bar.

66
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:01,160
But they always
fall a little short.

67
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,440
Sennheiser's Ambeo is the
first we've heard to actually

68
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,060
deliver without caveats.

69
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:07,490
Plus, it converts
stereo audio to 3D,

70
00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:10,280
adding a bit more depth to
everything from YouTube clips

71
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,150
to Spotify streams.

72
00:03:11,150 --> 00:03:15,070


73
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:17,520
Some smart home gadgets
add tech for tech's sake,

74
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,260
but Lenovo's Smart Clock
serves a practical purpose

75
00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:21,700
and looks great doing it.

76
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:23,680
The stylish device is
based on Google Assistant

77
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,510
and offers a few
additional features,

78
00:03:25,510 --> 00:03:28,780
including sunlight simulations
for easier wake-ups.

79
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:31,540
You can also use it to control
the rest of your smartphone.

80
00:03:31,540 --> 00:03:32,870
One feature you won't find?

81
00:03:32,870 --> 00:03:33,670
A camera.

82
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:36,080
And to some, that might
actually be a good thing.

83
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,720


84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,550
Sure, a couple of phones
made our shortlist

85
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,020
for best mobile product.

86
00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:43,700
But this year, the
winner is actually

87
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:45,450
a really good accessory.

88
00:03:45,450 --> 00:03:47,150
The Mophie Juice
Pack Access solves

89
00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:49,570
a problem a lot of people
have with their recent iPhone

90
00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:50,370
models--

91
00:03:50,370 --> 00:03:52,190
that if you want to
use a battery case,

92
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:54,000
it's gonna use up
that lone Lightning

93
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,900
port, preventing you from using
headphones at the same time.

94
00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,700
Instead, this case
relies on wireless

95
00:03:58,700 --> 00:04:01,260
charging, leaving the Lightning
jack free for continuous

96
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:02,060
listening.

97
00:04:02,060 --> 00:04:03,260
It's the sort of
practical gadget

98
00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:07,070
we want to buy for
ourselves, like now.

99
00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:08,780
LG has been teasing
us with the prospect

100
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:10,820
of a rollable
television for years,

101
00:04:10,820 --> 00:04:12,530
but it finally delivered.

102
00:04:12,530 --> 00:04:14,960
The OLED TV R is
an excellent 4K TV

103
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,570
with a powerful 100-watt Dolby
ATMOS sound bar built in.

104
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:21,260
But most importantly, it rolls
up and disappears into its base

105
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:22,700
when you're not watching it.

106
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,080
That's a pretty
big deal for anyone

107
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,040
tired of having the
television be the focal point

108
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,840
of their living room.

109
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,630


110
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:32,980
The Area-51m is an improvement,
both inside and out.

111
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:34,920
Chiefly, it's a
rare gaming laptop

112
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,080
where you can swap out
basically everything--

113
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,060
the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage.

114
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:42,960
That means the enclosure will be
usable for many years to come,

115
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,880
even as you upgrade
the internals.

116
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,100
And what a pretty
enclosure it is, too.

117
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,740
Our editors appreciated the
sleek design, especially

118
00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:53,940
compared to Alienware's
previous-gen hardware.

119
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:57,390
Sure, a breadmaking robot and
a heated razor are weird finds,

120
00:04:57,390 --> 00:05:00,460
but whoever thought we'd be
taste-testing a burger at CES?

121
00:05:00,460 --> 00:05:02,520
Impossible made waves
by using this tech

122
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,730
conference to unveil its next
generation meatless patty.

123
00:05:05,730 --> 00:05:07,260
What's the tech connection?

124
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:09,300
Well, it was grown in a lab.

125
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:13,050
And guys, it really
does taste good.

126
00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:15,180
There are plenty of apps and
connected devices for runners

127
00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:17,820
and cyclists, but if you're
more into weightlifting,

128
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:19,890
the market is a
little sparse which

129
00:05:19,890 --> 00:05:23,100
is why the JAXJOX Kettlebell
Connect grabbed our attention.

130
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:25,680
They offer a full body
workout, adjustable weight,

131
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
and easily stash away in
a corner when not in use.

132
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,880
And the company's
already planning

133
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,276
to offer a subscription
service with plenty of classes.

134
00:05:34,276 --> 00:05:38,480
The Dell XPS 13 first
debuted at CES 2015,

135
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560
where it was a Best
of CES finalist.

136
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,950
For years since,
the XPS 13 has been

137
00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:44,690
one of our favorite
Windows laptops,

138
00:05:44,690 --> 00:05:46,580
if not our absolute favorite.

139
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:49,190
Others have copied its slim
bezels and compact design,

140
00:05:49,190 --> 00:05:52,310
but Dell has continued improving
on an already excellent design

141
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:53,600
to stay on top.

142
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,730
This year's model is the
company's first laptop

143
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:57,840
with a Dolby Vision HDR screen.

144
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:58,670
Just as important?

145
00:05:58,670 --> 00:06:01,280
Dell finally moved the
webcam back to the top bezel

146
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:02,780
where it belongs.

147
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:04,445
Say goodbye to Orson
Welles selfies.

148
00:06:04,445 --> 00:06:07,010


149
00:06:07,010 --> 00:06:08,570
This cute little bot
is actually meant

150
00:06:08,570 --> 00:06:10,760
to be a companion for
the elderly, or really

151
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,590
anyone with an infirmity.

152
00:06:12,590 --> 00:06:15,900
The device can monitor sleep,
blood pressure, and heart rate,

153
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:17,660
and then send that
information to either Samsung

154
00:06:17,660 --> 00:06:19,160
Health or a doctor.

155
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,780
It can also detect
when someone falls

156
00:06:20,780 --> 00:06:23,360
and call 911 or a caretaker.

157
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440
And as you'd expect
of any smart device,

158
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,470
it can also handle basics
like media playback

159
00:06:27,470 --> 00:06:30,480
and daily news briefings.

160
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,720
Minor laptop
upgrades come and go.

161
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,950
Same for increases
in TV resolution.

162
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:36,650
And then there's all
the silly gadgets.

163
00:06:36,650 --> 00:06:38,750
We see you, smart
cat litter box.

164
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:40,790
That's why we wanted to
create a new category just

165
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:41,930
for the serious stuff.

166
00:06:41,930 --> 00:06:43,970
It could be accessibility
tech, green tech,

167
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:45,590
something designed
to prevent or recover

168
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:47,420
from natural disasters--

169
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:49,820
you know, the stuff
with gravitas.

170
00:06:49,820 --> 00:06:52,250
Anyway, we had three very
different entries this year

171
00:06:52,250 --> 00:06:53,930
and ended up going with
the second generation

172
00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:55,550
Impossible Burger.

173
00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:57,710
We'll fully admit that the
original was underwhelming,

174
00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:59,070
but this new formula?

175
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:00,170
You wouldn't know
you were eating

176
00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:02,150
plants unless someone told you.

177
00:07:02,150 --> 00:07:03,710
We chose it for
this category not

178
00:07:03,710 --> 00:07:07,610
just because it's delicious,
but because of its distribution.

179
00:07:07,610 --> 00:07:10,040
White Castle and Umami Burger
have already said they'd sell

180
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,630
it, and who knows who else?

181
00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:13,970
With that kind of taste
and that kind of reach,

182
00:07:13,970 --> 00:07:15,410
we think it might
actually convince

183
00:07:15,410 --> 00:07:18,870
some people to give up beef,
or at least eat less of it.

184
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:20,660
And that brings us
to our top honors--

185
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:22,210
the Best of the Best award.

186
00:07:22,210 --> 00:07:23,840
This one is decided
by a staff vote,

187
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,690
and the team went for
the Impossible Burger.

188
00:07:26,690 --> 00:07:28,130
Twist ending, huh?

189
00:07:28,130 --> 00:07:30,590
Ultimately, the editors decided
that this lab-grown meat

190
00:07:30,590 --> 00:07:33,530
substitute was more memorable
than some of the actual gadgets

191
00:07:33,530 --> 00:07:35,450
we saw at this year's show.

192
00:07:35,450 --> 00:07:38,510
And that's a wrap on
the Best of CES 2019.

193
00:07:38,510 --> 00:07:41,950
Congrats to all of our
winners and finalists.
