LG's rollable OLED TV is finally on sale, and it's stunningly expensive
TL;DR: Remember LG’s rollable OLED TV that we first saw at CES back in 2019? It’s finally gone on sale in South Korea, and as you might expect, the 4K display is very, very expensive: $87,000.

Google's Pixel 5 is reportedly suffering from build quality issues
A hot potato: The Pixel 5 came out just last week, and while Google hasn't priced it like most 2020 flagships, it seemingly shipped the $699 phone with manufacturing defects according to early adopters reporting gaps between the phone's frame and display.
Google saw limited success after it decided to go premium and replaced the affordable Nexus line with iPhone-rivalling Pixels. The company resorted to its back-to-basics approach with the Pixel 3a and 3a XL and the
