LG G9 leaked renders surfaced

We're getting our first glimpse at LG's upcoming flagship, the LG G9 ThinQ. It isn't clear what gimmick the phone might come with, but leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks on Twitter) gave us our first look at the smartphone. The LG G9 looks to have either a 6.7- or 6.9-inch screen with an in-display fingerprint sensor and a small notch at the top center for the selfie camera. The rear sports four cameras with dual flash, but it isn't known what camera sensors it comes with. The smartphone also looks to have a 3.5mm headphone jack (a rarity in flagships these days) and a USB-C port. The SIM card slot is at the top of the phone, while the power and volume buttons are on the left. The LG G9 will also reportedly get a Google Assistant button on the right side of the handset. This may or may not be the final design of LG's upcoming flagship. We're expecting to see the smartphone at MWC 2020 if we follow the LG G8's launch.

Disney moves up release of 'WandaVision' to this year

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are getting two new shows to look forward to this year. Disney moved up the release of WandaVision to this year instead of in the spring of 2021, but it hasn't specified which month it's coming out. We don't know why Disney decided to move but the release, but it will join The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which will also be making its debut this year.  

WandaVision will be following the relationship between Scarlet Witch and Vision post-Avengers: Endgame. The teaser images hint at a 1950s element to the show, but also, it's going to be connected to the 2021 MCU movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Apple rumoured to showcase HomeKit at CES 2020

For the first time since 1992, we know Apple will be making its appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show 2020 in Las Vegas. We know Apple Senior Director of Global Privacy Jane Horvath will be speaking at the consumer privacy panel on January 7. But on top of that, there are rumours that Apple will be showcasing its HomeKit smart home system at CES. Some companies will also supposedly show off new products for the home that work with Apple's Siri. Apple itself reportedly won't be showcasing new hardware, though. Amazon and Google are expected to showcase new software capabilities for its internet-connected devices alongside its voice assistants.

LG's new rollable TV will descend from the ceiling like a projector screen

LG has been refining its rollable TV concept for years, and we're given a taste of what's coming next at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas happening. At this year's CES, which starts on January 7, LG will showcase a new prototype that descends from the ceiling, similar to a projector screen. Since it's a television, it wouldn't need a projector. The idea also plays into LG's concept of reducing the space your TV needs to take up—by putting it up on the ceiling, it all but eliminates the TV stand. LG hasn't shown yet how this concept will work, but we're going to learn more about it in the next few days. We'll also find out then if LG plans to bring this concept to the market.
