Week in Review: The top stories in phones, computing, and more

Your essential CES pre-brief, Get Fit for '24 week, and Galaxy S24 launch date confirmed Created for {EMAIL} | [Web Version]( January 5, 2024 CONNECT WITH TECH RADAR  [Facebook]( [X]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( [Tech Radar]( [SIGN UP]( ⋅ [WEBSITE](  [] Welcome to the Week in Review [] Welcome to the week in review I can’t tell you how glad I am that TechRadar's Get Fit For '24 week, a bonanza of indispensible health and fitness content and advice, ran just before the annual technology face-blast that is CES. You see, you can’t really prepare for the sprawling event in Las Vegas (January 9-12) without some serious cardio prep. Forget 10,000 steps a day – you might do 15,000 or more in a single busy day covering new giant mini LED TVs, AI PCs, robots, and a billion and one sustainability promises. So, yes, my brain is now almost entirely focused on the event, which officially starts a few days before the public opening with a raft of press events. The TR team will be on the ground to bring you all the breaking news, and even some TikToks ([subscribe](!). Before I depart for Vegas, though, I just about have time to reflect on another busy week in technology, which included Microsoft Copilot’s bold appearance on the keyboards of many of the laptops and PCs you’ll buy in 2024. Meanwhile, Samsung is preparing to launch Galaxy AI along with its Galaxy S24 smartphone lineup right after CES – and I've been reflecting on the idea that AI is set make for a challenging year in the US, with truth and facts set to be at a premium. Was Christmas really only a couple of weeks ago? No matter. Happy new year, folks, and buckle in for a wild ride in 2024.
