It’s that time of the year again when manufacturers begin to show off what’s in store for the next year, at CES 2018.

Personally, I’m more hyped about the 85-inch 8K TV, but that’s for another time. Samsung’s new range of 4K TVs is all set to come integrated with their in-house Bixby virtual assistant. Now, why a TV needs a virtual assistant is something that eludes me entirely, but the engineers at Samsung deemed it fit, so there’s probably a good reason it exists. Samsung also announced the release of their SmartThings application, which lets you sync up multiple smart appliances and offers easier sharing, connectivity, and an overall simplified way to control the television and sync with other devices. We can also expect a new universal guide the likes of Apple, Roku and TiVo which searches for content within apps and suggests new things you to watch.
