LG and Sony Honda Mobility will hold key press events on January 5 in Las Vegas to kick off CES 2026, focusing on AI innovations and electric vehicles respectively. LG plans to debut its first Micro RGB TV and showcase Affectionate Intelligence technologies, while Sony will highlight updates to the Afeela 1 and a new concept model. Both events will stream live.
LG will open press day with its 11AM ET presentation themed "Innovation in Tune with You," promoting "Affectionate Intelligence"—its vision for AI that delivers harmonized, connected experiences. Demonstrations will feature AI-powered consumer electronics, large appliances, and more self-automated devices.
LG's highlight is the debut of its first Micro RGB TV, using cutting-edge multicolor backlight tech to surpass mini LED. Sizes include 100-inch, 86-inch, and 75-inch, paired with advanced AI. Watch live on the LG website, LG Global YouTube, or LG Global X.
Sony Honda Mobility follows at 8PM ET with a spotlight on electric vehicles, including pre-production Afeela 1 models (starting at $89,900, evolved from 2020's Vision-S) in multiple colors and a new concept at their booth. Engadget's Tim Stevens critiqued an earlier version as feeling "like a PlayStation 4 in the PS5 era" due to dated design. Stream on the Afeela official YouTube channel.
These events underscore CES 2026's push into AI and sustainable mobility, with Engadget providing live updates, hands-on, and analysis throughout the show.
