However, do not expect the Galaxy S7 to be unveiled at the event as it is very unlikely.
Sony at CES 2016
Sony will host a press conference at their stand rather than at the hotel where all the other events are held on the 5th and it will be the last major event of the day. Sony has managed to keep any new announcements a well-kept secret so we’ll have to wait till the event to find out.
