[DO DUAL-SCREEN PHONES MAKE SENSE?]
“No.” That’s the answer Betteridge’s Law dictates be given in the instance of a headline that asks a question - and I’m gonna say it right out front: it’s also true, for me. Personally speaking, a dual-screen phone does not make sense for most of my needs.
But my needs are not everyone’s needs. And more to the point: Microsoft is about to hit the dual-screen scene in a big way with its Surface Duo later this season, so like it or not, dual-screen smartphones will soon be a thing (whether they ultimately last is a question for another time). So for the past few months I’ve been using a few LG Dual Screen review devices; I’ve compared notes with other LG users; and I’m now convinced that there are benefits to a twin-display device … as long as you’re willing to put up with some fairly large compromises.
Join me for a look at the various use cases of dual-screen phones, featuring the LG Velvet and LG V60, and stay tuned for my Microsoft Surface Duo coverage - whenever that device finally makes it to market!

Let’s go dual screen thrifting! 03:18 😄
Be cool to see you and mr. mobile do a cross review about old phone oddware
How does that work?
@@themod3702 Think When Phones Were Fun and LGR Oddware mixed together
Oh snap, it's my favorite lazy game reviewer with the sweet voice overs.
Do dual screen phones make sense?
MrMobile : yesn't
😃
Of course they make sense I bought the LG v50 from Korea factory unlocked dual screen and has been really helpful,ando more for my Cain of works ,sale s on eBay ,Amazon , OfferUp ,is perfect
Can we just appreciate how he puts ACTUALLY USABLE subtitles in all Mr mobile videos?
companies- yesss they do wat if you wanna watch stream 2 of your fav shows at same time
no but they make dollars
Mr. Mobile 2030: when phones were fun- LG Velvet
What other phones offer such a unique experience right now? It might not be perfect, but at least they're doing something different.
I'll tell you what phone gives a more unique experience than this dual screen LG:
F(x) Tec Pro 1
Cosmo Communicator
Astro Slide (not yet released)
Yeah, no.
There's a reason Nintendo gave up on the dual-screen device and went all in on the single-screened Switch. No matter what pundits say, current software is neither good enough nor fast enough to make using the auxiliary screen head and shoulders better than what a large single-screened device or floating windows on a Windows/Manjaro device already can't do.
Different is not necessarily useful
@@odeiraoloap clearly you've never worked in a corporate environment, where dual screens are the norm and people "literally can't work without". Also, the Nintendo DS lasted a LOOOOOOOONG time.
That's why I love LG. They are always diferent
The fact you watch LGR makes me so happy 😁
Oh yes! Clint was a massive inspiration when I was starting When Phones Were Fun. He's my absolute favorite weekend comfort watch.
MrMobile [Michael Fisher] that’s awesome same here! LGR + a nice cup of tea is the best combination
Me too!
@Allie X What's up with Al Jazeera?
@@TheMrMobile Thats really awesome!
Yes, Amazon, PLEEEEEASE! I want to read on 2 screens.
There is an app on play store ‘Wide view for LG’ which can enable this feature.
They did it when Microsoft partnered with Amazon, they made sure that dual-screen and foldable devices can have two-column view.
The LG dual screen seems like something I'd really like - and never fully use
You'd be surprised. Once you get into it and commit, you're the envy of your friends.
@Darkstar The Epical Oh yes, I SO can relate for real! 😂🤣
Avenged Sevenfold PFP… I like it.
Ebay on one page Amazon on the other.
Stock market on one, research on the other.
Gallery on one, messenger on the other. Lots of great uses, even just watching RUclips on one and typing/messaging on the other.
@@DSarDarkstar i'm pretty much going to agree. i use 3 screens on my desk, but on the go, i either need an additional laptop for working, or my single screen won't be enough. But on the go, i rearly need the power of that laptop. so i went for a nexdock, shipping next month. Mobile Data, second screen ( Note10) multi tasksing on the big screen, good keyboad, and 14 inch real estate :-) And for some REAL work, i can remote into my PC and do it with just one mobile data plan on my phone.
Because writing an email with more than ten lines is tedious even on a second screen like in the video above.
The gold bar joke was amazing 😂
Outside of the Velvets dual screen party trick, I've gotta say, that teal colour and rear glass layout looks really great. Especially at this price point.
Really looking forward to your Duo review when the time comes MM.
When you take a screenshot, will it include both screens? 🤔
If you have it in Wide Screen mode it will, but not if you're running a separate app on each screen.
@@vince7245 I haven't tried that on wide screen
@@pattimcb31 The comment got me curious, so I tried it using the built in Capture+ tool. I don't know if there's a way to capture both screens if you're running separate apps, although that could be cool too I suppose.😅
This could be useful. Better than having tiny split screen. I need split screen at most of the time.
@@tubekau i like how split screen is easy to hold
I've been using my V60 since it was released. I totally agree it is VERY conditional. I love my V60 it's honestly perfect for my needs...well back when traveling and flying were a thing. It offered levels of productivity that I just haven't seen any other device come close too. Having Active Pen support gives it Samsung Galaxy Note-like functionality and I love that. I don't think LG enough credit for what they're doing. Sure foldable phones are nice, but they aren't really practical considering everyone has gotten used to IP rated products. I'm excited for future foldable tech, but I personally prefer the flexibility a dual screen can provide.
The V60 was perfect in every way for me except the size and portrait mode limited to the wide angle lens which was an absolute deal breaker for me.
I would continue to buy lg phones if it wasn't for their blatant removal of the bootloader from nearly all of their devices removing rooting and custom rom flashing abilities. So I will instead buy something that CAN do that. Possibly a Oneplus device. I currently own an LG V40 and while I don't hate LG's skinned Android 10 I still wish I could flash it when my phone stops getting updates and overclock it but alas, only the European models can do that.
2:45 Chicks hitting on Michael: "Is that a Galaxy Fold in your pocket, or you're just happy to see me?"
Bold of you to assume that only "chicks" woulf care about whether or not that's a Galaxy Fold in his pocket...
Lol just chicks? HAHA NOPE!
Woooow is that a gold bar in your pocket? Or...
Loved the LGR shout out!
i like how you didn't wait 7 min to get to the answer and you just
no
Exactly.
I like how you didn't even make it to the end to realise that that wasn't the full answer
It's more like "depends on your use case"
The nerd in me says yes with great enthusiasm, the realist in me says absolutely not.
We know which side of that coin normally lands up
I'll take one of each in white and black
I rarely comment on tech reviews and the like. But wow... your videos are entertaining, informative and honest..... all while having this inexplicable smoothness to them. If there were ever a "James Bond"of tech reviews... it has got to be this dude. The calm caramel voice, the necessary and unobtrusive cut aways and the concise edit of the entire content..... great production quality. Keep going and thanks for making these. Stay mobile.... =)
YOU SIR are a man of refined taste:
Just switched here from listening to a playlist that starts with the original of that song, and ends with the version you quoted! I was thinking 🤔 “did he just make a reference to...” and before my low spec brain could finish the thought, you confirmed it.
That spoken word track may be the only time that a studio asking for a more widely appealing version of something lead to a great piece of art...
The hype of the microsoft courier all those years ago is finally coming to pass
4:30 *STONKS*
Ah yes... trades goes S T O N K S
Yes. That is the joke they made.
I just got my LG G8X with the Dual Screen a little while ago, and I don't think I can go back to a regular phone, for two very small reasons.
First, having a dual screen is nice when you want to have two things up at the same time. I was able to do similar things with my LG G8 by using the splitscreen mode, but the Dual Screens makes it far more elegant.
Second, full size keyboard. I can actually type at a decent pace now.
6:35 I get around using the LG keyboard with an app called "WideMode for LG". It forces the screen to enter WideMode regardless of the application so when the keyboard is open it takes up the bottom screen and Messages or Gmail is open on the top. It's far from perfect but it's what you agree to deal with this early in the dual/folding screen era.
from a user of the lg G8X. its fantastic, a bit of a gimmick since a lot of apps don't natively support the second screen but when i am trying to meet up with friend and i need to switch to another messenger app i don't lose my place or what i type. one major gripe i have was that i decided to go for the dual screen protectors so the phone never fully closes, and this led to my keys cracking the edge of the screen protector. i have not used any of the dual screen apps since its not something that is used often, and they don't seem to work well enough to just work without first having to find how to turn them on.
First off, Q'apla on the use of TNG Klingons scene, Captain. That was a fantastic analysis! I was waiting for this specific episode after that Instagram thread. It's not for everyone, but those who find it's value may never go back. The shortcomings of limited software adaptations are a factor, but you noted the 3rd party "force dual app". I still love google earth on it when I'm away from the tablet. The Velvet may have dragged in performance due to the lesser processor tha8X or the V60 as a mid ranger. Great job!
I think the dual screen phone concept, at the right price, makes tons of sense for me. I am constantly using the split screen multitasking on my Android phone and my iPad 7th gen, so having a phone that I can use most of the time with just one screen, and then whip out the second screen for multitasking sounds perfect. This is more for something that can fold completely over and remain thin, like a Surface Duo, not the LG dual screen so much.
Just watched this video on my V50 dual screen after re-living my childhood playing Zelda on an emulator on my phone using the LG gamepad. Even though mine is the first iteration of the LG dual screen I absolutely love it and I can hardly see myself going back to normal phones. This is the phone for me. Exactly what I needed. Great normal flagship or dual screen gaming/media/work smartphone. Very easy to adapt to your needs anytime. Love it!
I used the V60 mostly for Skype calls while texting full screen and browsing Chrome if I needed to. I loved propping the phone up on my desk for hands free video calls. Also full screen RUclips while texting friends was the best. I don't miss it too much now using a regular phone but the V60 was a beast for sure especially with pen support which I did use as well.
Most people: Excelent review, as always
Me: Damn, theres a new episode of LGR thrifts that I missed!? (Also, great video as always)
Is 2020 ever going to end?

Your so close to 1 Million! Congrats! I remember when you first started this channel. You've really blown up and you deserve it.
I split it about 60/40 between single screen (naked or in a case) and dual screen. Favorite uses are managing a playlist while reading, watching RUclips while doing anything and using the gamepad on a GBA emulator. Pokemon plays especially great with the dual screen

"Tne biggest phone case of my life" hahahahaha I burst into laughter. So funny. I love my v60 though.
5:53 I was on a Mr Mobile marathon today and I noticed you used the same shot in the Galaxy Book S review!😂
I want my phone to eventually replace my laptop: which is what I think dual screen would help with.
I always use the split screen view: a lot of the time when sharing house ideas with my wife.
It's this kind of multitasking that makes me want a dual screen phone badly these days: the flexibility to quickly jump between two apps by simply looking over to the side.
I think the issue we will have with this is what you want that replacement to be. For example the surface duo is a phone 1st pc 2nd as it is limited to mobile apps. The other device will be the surface neo. This is running full windows X and if (and that's a big If) Microsoft can get the developers on board for apps and also get x32 and x64 apps working well on it this could be your other option. But this is a laptop 1st phone 2nd. That said will be limited apps for mobile use. I fell if we were to have 1 device for eveything the os is where it needs to change. That said if Microsoft can get its act together the neo could be the way forward. Having the neo as your everyday device to take calls edit work ect but then Dock it to give you a full Windows experience. It's all if buts and maybes. Personally for me love the idea Microsoft is giving us but I am waiting until my p40 contract is up before deciding which way to go next.
@E. O. It depends on the type of work you are doing. If it's blogging emails, documents and low level video editing then yes a phone can replace a laptop. I managed to do this with my note 8 and Dex. If you need big work then of course a pc is better. This new type of device Microsoft is to fill the void between mobile and laptop and to become more productive on a phone.
It can replace a laptop but it's not designed to replace it
I know phones today aren't the best replacement for a laptop.
I'm personally not a lite user. I do a lot of graphic design, CAD, video editing, CGI.
My hope is with the current trend we will see phones pack enough power to be a better option than a laptop (more portable. Lightweight).
There will probably always be a place for a desktop: I've turned mine into a kind of server. When I'm away from home and need the extra horsepower I just jump on TeamViewer and knock out some projects that way.
@E. O.I agree with that but no one on this post put they were going to replace a pc. At the end of the day when laptops came out they said they would replace desktops and then tablets would replace laptops. None of them have replaced each other as they all have plus and minus points.
But for a home user/business user who wants to just edit small things, look on social media, read and reply to emails and generally be productive devices like this can replace laptops and desktops
@E. O. as far as I know tablets haven't even gotten a desktop mode likes phones have recently (Samsung Dex being an example).
Tablets have kind of lagged behind in recent years.
I may be a customer of one, but I would love a dual screen with a low resolution, or maybe even e-ink display on one side, and a standard screen on the other. I'd love to have a phone in extremely low power mode for most applications, and then offer top of the line performance, and visuals, when I need. I do agree, though, mobile video editing, AND a dual screen ereader would be cool options.
There's an app/utility you can download that should allow you to make the Kindle app split between 2 screens called "LG WideMode." It isn't officially supported, but it can be useful for apps that don't make use of the dual screens.
As for the video itself, I like the idea of dual screen phones and thought I'd make decent use of my G8X's functionality. However, I pretty much exclusively find myself keeping it in the large case and setting it up like a tent to watch videos. I almost never make use of the 2 screens because it's so cumbersome to hold (and disables "comfort view" which I quite like). The main thing I thought it could perform well for is mobile livestreaming, and it essentially just doesn't work, but a lot of that comes more down to app support than it does to the dual screen case.
I do think that dual screen phones are more practical than folding phones, but they still have so long to go before it's worth making the jump from 1 screen.
Watching this youtube on my lg v50s while researching about it on the dual screen. Loving the experiences but just starting out & learning. Im hoping I'll find it really much more productive.
I love the production value of your videos! They're so nice to watch and I love the way you make every single video the best you can make them. Good job man.

Okay then. I guess that's the end of this video.
Yep
You mean 0:04
@@Ignacio.Romero close enough.
I have the LG V60 and while its a great option to have the second screen, I find I prefer it with a regular case due to the clunkiness of the dual screen. That said, I do enjoy having it when I am playing Dungeons & Dragons for the multitasking aspect (calculator/character sheet/reference pdfs), or when I am (as mentioned) either reading ebooks or watching videos on one screen.
If LG hadn't included it with their V60 as a freebie, I wouldn't go out of my way to get it, but I like having it around when I need it.
I think one of the best usage for second screen would be touchpad, when it stands on the table half-opened.
So that you can control the smartphone with a virtual cursor, just like some tiny laptop. And when there is some textfield focused, touchpad simply changes to virtual keyboard, the way it was shown in the video
I'm on the G8X and often times using the dual-screen, and It's often very useful.
Spreading the app across both screens is very useful on the web browser, for instance when playing the piano I'd have the sheets opened.
Watching this on my ZTE Axon M, which is probably the best $120 I've spent in a while
A bit jealous. I found out about that deal far too late, and the price jumped.
@@digitalranger4259 I picked mine up for about $120 aswell, don't worry, the price floats on amazon wildly, just keep checking each week!, same thing I did with my dxo one, snagged it at $100
Not worth when I bought my LG V40 about 5 months ago for $121. That thing doesn't have enough processing horsepower.
I got an Axon M for $120 as well. It was pretty cool and novel at first but got tiresome as time went on. No case options make it fragile, not to mention how it finds some way fall off of completely flat surfaces. I ended up spending more money on screen protectors than I did on the whole phone because I'd have to replace them all the time as the protector is the highest point on the phone which would cause things to catch under the protector and pull it up all the time. Now I've upgraded to the ZTE Axon 10 Pro 12GB and I couldn't be happier.
Peak performance meme was placed so smoothly I had to watch it several times
@H W T 6:06
the background music in your video makes viewing experience much better... thanks buddy for making good videos..
Finally another video. Love your work, Michael. Are you going to make another folding phone review? Maybe the z flip or even the Fold again. Would love to see another one of those amazing reviews. Even the Motorola Razr. Your enthusiasm for folding phones makes me love the video that much more
Watching this on my ZTE Axon M - a 2017 dual screen phone!
Librera allows you to have two columns in portrait mode. Although you do have to use an additional app to allow librera to use both screens. Does a pretty good job of getting a more book like feel.
I'm still running my s8Plus but am seriously leaning towards the v60. I use split screen viewer surprisingly often(mainly for juggling taking notes ,RUclips ,chatting to friends and social media)to the point that I bought a second monitor for my pc.
Even typing this. I see the flaws but in the case of v60. If i just want a phone, it's cheaper then the s20 plus but just as good. Battery life is practically the best on the market. The os may not be the best but the extra screen just takes the cake for me.
I've stilll got a zte axon m... and while it appears to not have any os upgrade on the horizon, it's still how i'd like dual screen devices to work (maybe the 2nd screen game pad too, but I don't mobile game in any way to make use of that)
The 2 column ebook mode expanded across the displays is great, if only the page turn animation followed suit.
I understand the hinge gap is needed, but the large gap on lg's foldables (and exclusivity the specific networks) is keeping me at bay.
5:57 i like that my phone is there in a video other than its review, lol.
I think Juan would be as happy to watch this video as I am.
I hope you get your hands on the Surface Duo, especially after having used and compared various dual-screen devices and foldables. I, for one, would love to hear your take on it, and I'm curious if it makes more sense. It seems to be more tightly integrated than LG.
I use an LG G8X dual-screen, but it was my desire for the Duo when they revealed it last that inspired my purchase, and it's what I REALLY wanted. I regard the LG as a fun stepping stone towards something better.
For myself I do a lot of multitasking, a lot of copy/paste, and note taking. I would definitely be wanting the fold or the fold 2 but I don't want to give up being able to have a good stylus. When f3 comes out with real glass .. then I'll be willing to jump from dual to folding phones.
Wow My 7T is at 5:54 ❤️ loving my 7T
i actually really liked my Axiom M from a few years ago. Yes, a tad on the brick-ish side but the line in the middle was and still is from a dual screen standpoint the smallest i've seen. I too liked watching videos and texting. but 2 other favorites was texting 1 screen and keyboard the other. the last thing it was really good at .....reading comic books :) the images fill up the screens nicely and you get to see the smaller details. Thinking about buying one as a back up device, seeing them go for around $250 now!! oh yeah there was an option to force apps into dual screen even if it wasnt optimized for it......ever play Pokemon Go across 2 screens....so many pokemons :P
bought a refurbished LG V50 recently. find it really helpful for multi-tasking, and i can remove the dual-screen when it's not needed
Already a Michael Fisher fan, then he mentions Poe... Best Mr Mobile video EVER.
House of Leaves next?
Oh man, makes me wish we had these mag safe like charging ports in our phones as well. Great video Michael!
I used the lg g8x with dual screen for little bit. For me, the case is too bulky for considering using or carry it all the time. Emulator Gaming and mutlitasking is nice, but those novelties are not enough to justify the unwieldiness of it. Native foldables may be better
I wonder if its possible to fit in a foldable display between the phone and auxillary display. That would make for a more durable device than the current foldables with full plastic screens, albeit with two break lines between the screens
When you put the galaxy fold into your pocket, I just wished camera was sliding towards to the left ☺️
I really really used the G8X dual screen during the lock down. Video calling in screen and other documents and the other screen. There is no other phone to beat tat 😎 work from home with dual screen.
Just bought the G8X this week, now I can't imagine going back to a single screen phone
For me, in Norway, I also really would like to use a dual screen phone, and I would like to use it like a laptop, with the base screen as a Norwegian keyboard. Do you know if that is possible? Which kind of keyboard is available? If only LG´s own, can it be a Norwegian layout? And how is your experience with writing/tapping on a glass keyboard when writing longer texts? (I would really be thankful for answers, before possible buying such an LG dual screen phone!)
Nice Poe exposure at 00:45. Great album, crazy book. And the reference at 01:25 was so funny. 😂
I don't really like how there is a hinge on the middle, something that ZTE was able to minimize on their Axon M. I've used this device for almost a year and I've gotten used to the extend mode, as well as using the multitask option on there. It's a shame that it was released ahead of it's time but I bet it's the cheapest foldable you can get now.
2:48 lol, awesome! A month ago I introduced my non TV watching, Sci-fi disliking awesome gf to Deep Space 9... and she loves it! and she's genuinely surprised she would, but I knew she would, not only because of the great writing but the non episodic story-arcs which evolved both the characters and direction DS9 takes, she remembers names, places, past experiences and even notices small things like the uniform change to coloured undershirts and grey shoulders!! we JUST finished Season 5's Episode 10 "Rapture", our 2nd episode today... Prolly not the last. =D
I'm a lucky guy ;)
21k and this man will FINALLY be at 1M ALMOST THERE!!!! 🙏🏾
I have just listened to Hey Pretty earlier today again. I love this song and have loved it since release. Great to see it mentioned here since I have never heard it mentioned before anywhere.
Poe is pretty intense. Always nice to meet a fellow appreciator!
One of the biggest thing that kinda triggers me is that I once asked a LG employee why they included a "useless" notch on the second screen and he said it was because of symmetry and customers didn't liked the asymmetry of earlier ones. And now what? Now they use a stupid and pretty heavy curved screen on the main phone and a flat screen on the second one.
Why not a samsung slide where top display slides to right to show another display underneath for dual screen or extended display ?
I 100% back duel screen phones. I was until recently still useing a ZTE axom M in the year of out Lord 2020. That phone could not do anything well but it had 2 screens and I loved it. I watched RUclips videos on one screen and played afk arena on the other. If I was talking to someone online and I needed to look something up I could do it on the other screen without risking refreshing and loosing what I wrote. Copy pasting is such better on two screens. Now that I'm back on one screen with the Google pixel 3a I can truely say, I miss you duel screen. I miss you a lot.
I believe that Microsoft has been working with Amazon to make dual-screen reading a thing on Surface Duo so that may flow over to other dual-screen phones too.
In my opinion price is actually a big factor to consider as well, you are getting flaghsip specs for relatively cheap (when compared to flexible displays)
Love the video!🔥Btw. Thanks for using my photo on 4:53, I'm glad u liked my use of dual screen😎 can't wait to make mine review of LG V60.
I have a LG g8x and I love it ..
Especially for streaming with RUclips and discord it's awesome ..also downloading stuff while texting and searching for the stuff I download on RUclips it is really good ..
Also like he said ..this smartphone can turn into a single screen when I need it
I enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. I recently bought an LG V60 ThinQ with the dual screen. I love it. It works great, especially with two factor authentication. I don't have to leave the main screen to look for the pin or code they send me.
I always use an old phone and my daily phone to do word and spreadsheet, or while messaging somebody while looking the info from chrome, for me for a long time ago, need a dual screen or in a few times use the split screen.
I would love it if you did the same video but on dual-screen tablets
Why not even 1 million subscribers !
It hurts me a lot
You are the best
4:11 I felt so called out as I sat here with my v60 doing just that
I love that you referenced Poe!
that you Mr Mobile🙂 for yet another insightful analysis and view.
i look forward to them
I own ROG phone and twinview dock (the first one). so technically its a dual screen phone (yeah its also bulky). so I use this dual screen to play 2 different games at the same time or multitasking. Also, it got additional perk which is the twinview dock carriers 6000mah battery and it can act as a powerbank to my phone. but after seeing this LG Velvet, I wish that ASUS ROG copy some of its features like. the keyboard can go on the other screen, run 1 app on both screens, have an option to portrait or landscape an app and most importantly, its not a gaming phone but i got some console layouts. and I wish ASUS ROG will do that on other games.
Anyone know how long shipping takes for the dual screen ? Specifically for the LG V 60.
Wow, almost 1 million subscribers! Huge congratulations! Love your videos since the old Pocketnow days!
Michael, there are also other industrial and commercial intend for bendable or foldable screens, not just phones and tablets..
Hey hey! I was wondering about this same topic? Like on one hand it's cheaper than a true folding phone, but on the other hand it's not as versatile. Ps that line near the start about headlines and questions is gonna save me alot of time lmao
LOVE my LG V60. Great review!
I use LG V60. What I like the most about the dual screen is the ability to use it when I want as you stated
LG took the lazy way and just connected 2 phones together. It's a monster as a result. The surface Duo when folded is about as thick as a typical smartphone. And the aspect ratio is more usable. LG went with the typical long thin screen that is common on single phones. And then stuck 2 phones together via a case
I was considering this phone to replace my aging S8 next year, but I was under the impression the bottom screen can be used as a keyboard without much effort. The example I've just seen - no game. Thanks, I just saved $800!
Great vid, love your style! For me the biggest draw to dual screen is the larger screen real estate, but with that chunky separater between the screens it doesn't make sense. The dual screen phones without are just too fragile. Probably a couple more years of R&D needed
Thanks for the short video. Off to MKBHD to hear his monologues on why the mac wheels are so amazing.
i would want a version of the surface duo without a data plan aka wifi only. Would make a nice ebook reader
I can imagine myself playing Ingress while having Telegram/discord open in the other screen for coordinated ops. Other use may be grinding a mobile rpg in auto while watching something on the other screen, I used to do that with my S8+ while holding a Note Edge on top, a bit awkward but hey it worked (until I dropped my S8+ and shattered both glasses)
My LG V60 dual-screen case broke within two weeks, barely bumped it on the counter. They just need to redesign the outside
7:26 "it's unsafe to remove", which makes sense because back cover and battery are glued... (someone may try to do that)
I use my LG v60 and dual case for a bunch of reasons, one use is for retro game emulators.
I'd much prefer a dual screen to a foldable screen. It would be nice if they allowed you to turn one screen off to save battery, but the interface options for gaming and texting alone would be worth it.
Its very nice to watch ur vdos....always waiting for ur review over phones...
That Velvet would be perfect for me if instead of a second screen on a case, they put a physical keyboard on a case.
