What are the highlights from the Consumer Electronics Show 2026?

Niklas Blikk 0:04
Hi, and welcome to TechPodden. We are still in the start group for 2026, but still this year's biggest technology show, Consumer Electronics Show, is over. Today we will go through the coolest things that will be shown at the show. It includes a special Lego brick and a battery that can turn the entire electric car industry upside down. With me in the studio, I have as usual with me Simen Barstad-Buseth. Hello! And right before the flight, for Las Vegas, Ole Henrik Johansen. Hi, hi. And Sten Jarle Olsen. Hi. And my name is Niklas Blikk. Welcome back to Norwegian soil, Ole and Sten Jarle.

Is it jet lagged? We are probably less jet lagged than you might expect, since it's 48 hours since we got home. But we have been...

How is the new Lego brick expected to revolutionize play?

Stein Jarle Olsen 0:51
It's pretty good to keep us on Norwegian time, at least partly, so it makes it a little easier to go back after a week, even with nine hours of time difference.
Ole Henrik Johansen 1:02
What about you, Ole? Yes, we hope it goes well. It feels good, at least in the end. The famous hammer can come off, but in the end I think it's going well.
Niklas Blikk 1:09
I used to smack a little after the day. Do that. Should I just jump right in and talk a little about CS?
Go for it.
Niklas Blikk 1:17
I thought we'd just talk a little bit about the whole phenomenon of SES and actually technology-wise overall. Because what is actually SES, and what do you do at a technology-wise like this?
Ole Henrik Johansen 1:29
It's a gigantic industry-wise. You have, I don't remember how many square meters there are, but it's a violent thing in any case. There are many, many halls, and there are in addition very many now who use the hotels around the city to make their own arrangements.
Niklas Blikk 1:47
Yes, because the whole of Vegas, especially The Strip, which Sessmessen is a part of, consists mostly of hotels and mass buildings.

What innovations are emerging in electric vehicle battery technology?

Ole Henrik Johansen 1:57
Gigantic hotels. I don't remember how many of the 20 biggest hotels in Vegas, but there are a lot. And then we run around from suite to suite or big showrooms and try to get everything new with us.
Simen Barstad-Buseth 2:13
How much of what is at Sess do you think you've gotten this day?
Ole Henrik Johansen 2:16
Yeah, no. The number of square meters is starting to get a bit small.
Niklas Blikk 2:23
I read some stats. 4,100 exhibitors, including 1,200 startups, and 150,000 participants. That's quite a lot.
Stein Jarle Olsen 2:36
Det er ganske stort, og for vår del så har det jo blitt sånn mer og mer i løpet av de siste årene at vi tilbringer ganske mye av vår tid på de nevnte hotell-svittene rundt omkring i byen, for de fleste McDonald's vil ha vår oppmerksomhet for seg selv og ikke dele den med tusenvis av andre selskaper på selve MSC-gulvet.
Niklas Blikk 2:54
Is that a change that has been in the course of the years?
Stein Jarle Olsen 2:57
To a greater degree, I would say that it has become so. This year, for example, Samsung was not present at the Messegulvet, at the Messe in general. They had led a whole floor, almost on Hotel Wynn, which is a huge hotel in Las Vegas, and There they held their first look, for example, where we got access early. And that is a symptom, I would say, that there has been so much content creation and influencers, and everyone wants to have their time with the products, and that is what you do most easily if you have people for yourself.
Niklas Blikk 3:33
Så det har gått litt ved at alle har en svær keynote hver, hvor alle sitter i salen og ser på en toppsjef viser om ting til litt mer hands-on.
Ole Henrik Johansen 3:42
Det har blitt litt forandret. Før så var det veldig sånn at man startet ofte med, som du sier, en keynote. Alle hadde hver sin presentasjon, gjerne oppe på Mandalay Bay eller noe sånt, gjerne litt i andre enden av byen for selve messa. Og så hadde alle de store, forskjellige stender på messa. Så så fort pressekonferansen var ferdig, så var det om å jogge ned og være tidlig ute, titta og se på alt som var nytt.
Stein Jarle Olsen 4:05
Nå er det jo helt forandret. It's almost not press conferences again. I think it's five or six press conferences on Monday. Earlier they stretched over several days, and everyone has had their own. But you don't do that so much longer. Do you miss it? I don't miss it at all, because to stand in a queue to hardly get to sit in these press conferences, ballrooms, to see a product on a screen, it has much less value than to actually be able to hold it in your hands and watch it live.
