How the rollable TV works?
As of now, there's no word on what the rollable TV in question will have on offer, but from what we've seen in the past, it's likely to be an improved version of the previous prototype or a different screen size. The TV showcased at CES 2018 was a 4K 65-inch model that rolled into a bottom-placed housing at the push of a button.

The case of LG's foldable phone
Previously, LG's CEO had said the company is not in a hurry to be the first one to bring a foldable phone and is working with partners to avoid issues with the device. But, according to the documents seen by Engadget, LG's foldable phone could also be showcased at CES 2019. Even tipster Evan Blass suggested the same a few days ago.
