Much to the disappointment of tech geeks, CES 2015 couldn't go on forever. Some rumored announcements didn't take place, yet we got to see intriguing unexpected releases. In the following paragraphs you can check out what grabbed our attention. Samsung decided to delay the highly anticipated Galaxy S6 unveiling probably until the MWC in March. Instead it chose to build its press event around an SUHD television, a portable solid-state drive, and the Milk Music Streaming service. In a marketing move, the Korean manufacturer also displayed a set of cool Avengers props behind glass. No official word came from Sony on the inevitable Z4, but the Japanese did unveil a posh dedicated music player. Resurrecting the Walkman brand, the device is clearly targeted at audiophiles with money to spare, bearing a price tag of $1200. An all-steel version of the Smartwatch 3 also made the headlines. LG on the other hand caused more of a stir with the launch of its G Flex2, the next iteration of the manufacturer's curved phablet. The first device to bring Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 powerhouse of a chipset to market packs a 5.5-inch 1080p display in a second-generation self-healing body making it an entirely more interesting offering than its predecessor. HTC brought to CES 2015 two new smartphones. The Desire 826 upper midranger is running Android 5.0 with Sense UI on top, is powered by a Snapdragon 615 chipset, and features a 5.5-inch 1080p display. The entry-level Desire 320 is understandably more modest, with an unnamed quad-core chipset, 4.5-inch FWVGA screen and region-dependent memory options. Still no official word on the HTC Hima, though. Asus generated significant interest with the launch of its Zenfone 2, which at $199 is shaping up to be an unbeatable proposition. True, which exactly hardware specs you get for that much cash is still unclear, but budget-friendly it will be. The star of the show, however, was undoubtedly the Zenfone Zoom, sporting a 3x optical zoom lens with hardware stabilization in front of its 13MP sensor. Chinese giant Lenovo announced a myriad of devices ranging from smartphones with quirky flashes to Yoga branded tablets and convertibles, to ultra-light alloy-clad laptops. Emerging brand BLU also flooded the floor with devices, each specifically-targeted and all budget-friendly. Flashlight-featuring Nokia 215 marked Microsoft's presence at the show. So reading back this quick summary, it turns out CES 2015 wasn't all that uneventful after all.
