The recently-concluded CES 2014 was just wow and in case you were one of those folks who had a first hand experience (unlike us here) at seeing this show live then you guys are damn lucky. CES 2014 this year was full of latest gadgets, concepts we have either seen or heard of.

This show is mostly about the industry biggies like Samsung or the start-ups but this year companies like Sony put up a great show.

Here are the 5 best gadgets we saw this year at CES:

Happy reading!

1. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact


If you are one of those folks who hate phones with big screens, meet Xperia Compact. In size this phone is very similar to an iPhone or other smaller Android phones but its features are neat and sleek, this phone comes with 20.7MP camera. If this devices does, it would first hit the US market and would eventually hit the worldwide market.

2. Pebble Steel Smartwatch


In all sense the Pebble Steel smartwatch is the real-type of smartwatch. Why? Because they use steel and leather instead of fiber or other materials that is used nowadays. Apart from connecting you to your smartphone and sending all sorts of notifications that you expect a smartwatch to send you, this watch actually shows time.

3. Polaroid Socialmatic


This device is one thing that most of us were waiting for a long time. Socialmatic is a Polaroid camera which is powered by Android. This camera can shoot 14MP pixels images, shares them across your social networks and not to forget prints out 2x3 inches images for you within few seconds.

4. Waka Waka Power


Waka Waka Power is a smartphone charger that requires no power and instead uses the suns ray to charge your phone. It uses solar panels to charge itself when left in sunlight and once fully charged it can charge your smartphone within 2 hours.

5. Oculus Rift



We first heard about this headgear last year in CES 2013 but this year we saw its first prototype. The Oculus Rift is gaming headgear that puts the gamer inside a video game by creating a 3D world in front of his eyes. A revolution in the field of gaming, this device is unbelievable. I can't wait to lay my hands on this device and experience it for myself.
