TCL also teased its rollable concept phone, which can go from a 6.7-inch phone to a 7.8-inch tablet.
The bigger screen real estate offered by phones like these could make them a tempting purchase.
“Having more screen real estate is great for anyone who multitasks on their phone.

Big Screens, Little Information
Details about the new rollable phones are hard to come by.
Both LG and TCL played coy with their designs at CES.
LG showed videos of the phone, but didnt give any product details.
Some users say they would jump at the chance to buy a rollable phone.
Jason Hughes, a self-described gadget enthusiast, said hes on board with rollables.
“I won’t miss a roll-up smartphone; LGs rollable looks promising.”
Hughes said that a rollable phone could fit into your daily routine.
“Its flexibility is [a] great asset among other types of smartphones.
A Practical and Cool Design
The rolling design isnt just eye-catching.
Its practical, as well, Prouty said.
Foldable phones have made headlines in recent years, but they havesuffered from questionsabout their screens durability.
The design presents more of a ‘wow’ factor than anything else.”
Dont expect rollable phones to come cheap.
The folding variety of smartphones that have rolled out in recent years have seen sky-high prices.
Samsungs Z Flip started at $1,380, and Microsoft’s Surface Duo sells for $1,400.
Its unlikely that a new category like rollables will be much cheaper.
In fact, onerumor suggeststhe price of the LG Rollable will be a hefty $2,359.
Im excited about a new bang out of phone design, whether its practical or not.
