[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.
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
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.
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 TH-cam on one and typing/messaging on the other.
@@DJ_Darkstar 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.
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
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
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...
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 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"
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 gold bar joke was amazing 😂
Loved the LGR shout out!
Most people: Excelent review, as always
Me: Damn, theres a new episode of LGR thrifts that I missed!? (Also, great video as always)
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.... =)
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.
"Tne biggest phone case of my life" hahahahaha I burst into laughter. So funny. I love my v60 though.
The hype of the microsoft courier all those years ago is finally coming to pass
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.

I love my LG v60 and Velvet, but I would never recommend it to anyone that's not a heavy multi-view user. You have to really, really want the 2nd screen, not consider it an afterthought.
Particularly what I love most about the Dual Screen, is actually what they had to do to with how multi-tasking is handled on the base phone.
The rules that govern how multi-view works are much broader. You might have noticed if you're a heavy Multi-window user, not all apps support the feature. They demand all screen or nothing at all, and some games are designed to completely shut out some background processes to prevent cheating. So in some apps/games, picture-in-picture mode cannot work. Android and the app will normally make you decide "you can play this game, or you can watch your video in P-i-p, you can't do both" but because of the nature of how LG manages background processes to extend multi-view for the sake of it's 2nd screen cases, you can have both.
So basically to make 2nd screen work how they intended it, they further-expand how multi-view works fundamentally, so even if you're using the phone without the case, you're given more options on what apps you can use in multi-view, compared to how most Android phones do it.
All my excitement and enthusiasm for multi-tasking though doesn't blind me to just how niche of a user I am. The features it allows some to do are for the most part, unwanted by most people.
Admittedly though I don't take the Dual case with me to work. The case does very little in terms of protection, and the added mass just increases the force if you were to drop it on the ground.
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.
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!
4:30 *STONKS*
Ah yes... trades goes S T O N K S
Yes. That is the joke they made.
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.
Peak performance meme was placed so smoothly I had to watch it several times
@H W T 6:06
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.
0:00 "no"
Okay then. I guess that's the end of this video.
Yep
You mean 0:04
@@Ignacio.Romero close enough.
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.

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
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.
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 TH-cam while doing anything and using the gamepad on a GBA emulator. Pokemon plays especially great with the dual screen
LG G8x user
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.
The man gave me advices to buy my car on autotrader videos..now the same guy’s givin’ me advices to buy a new phone.. what a man!!
The ONLY form factor I'd love when it comes to foldables is the clamshell design like the Z-flip or the new Razr. More compact to fit in a pocket and less susceptible to screen damage when the design of the screen has been refined.
I didn't know Betteridge's law was a thing, but I love it and I wish more people would answer it so quickly
Watching this on my ZTE Axon M - a 2017 dual screen phone!
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.

Keep up the good work Mr. Mobile :)
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!
Me: *starts watching video*
Mr. Mobile: "No."
Me: "Aight. I guess I'm done watching the video."
Nah, I'm kidding. Who in their right minds would not watch a Mr. Mobile video until the end?
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'd rather have a dual screen than a foldable honestly. I love my V60.
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.
3:20 MY BOI LGR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
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.
Michael everytime suprise me I always think rdj given review
I get your point and agree. Re the Surface Duo and the likes I’ve realised it’s all about productivity. But is the increase of productivity worth (€€€) the increase in costs? Bottom line, is it worth spending 1.5 grands just to be able to have WhatsApp and Word opened together?!
the duo is not for all men but only for those who seek it😑
Never knew this style of foldable existed. After nearly three years with a Galaxy Fold, I think I'd prefer a design like this.
😂
What about the ZTE Axon M? its a true dual screen phone! look it up!
No ZTE please, No CCP companies should be encouraged
ZTE was sanctioned after openly selling phones to "the baddies" (ISIS, South American cartel, etc).
He has already done a video on that.
It is still a great phone and I use it everyday! Not sure about the isis thing till now, but it is a good phone but no updates... Provably due to the isis thing.
@@Someone_on_youtube_app where? When? Nvm, I found it
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 ,TH-cam ,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.
Thanks for the great review. When I look at replacing my Mate20X I will definitely look at what dual screen phones are available at the time.
As a fold owner I think foldables with one large screen totally make sense, however dual screen phones make little to no sense. The issue with phones is not that you are limited to one screen, but that that one screen is too small. The fold solves this by giving you one large screen whereas the dual screens just give you yet another small screen which does not really help.
First!
Oh wait... no I’m not
Those double screen phones give me serious Nintendo DS deja Vu....
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.
You have to say though, a dual screen doesn't cause creases, it doesn't kill the whole display if it gets smashed, just half of it, and a dual screen display can be swapped out more easily.
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 TH-cam 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.
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 ;)
The only good dual screen concept was the courier and the surface duo is not gonna be like that since you need a brand new OS build from the start for 2 screens to do what that device could
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
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 TH-cam 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.
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 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
Nice Poe exposure at 00:45. Great album, crazy book. And the reference at 01:25 was so funny. 😂
I would love it if you did the same video but on dual-screen tablets
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.
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.
Micheal Fishers Narration and thought out script is always beyond impressive and engages me and audience all the time, well done ! Also great video :)
21k and this man will FINALLY be at 1M ALMOST THERE!!!! 🙏🏾
the background music in your video makes viewing experience much better... thanks buddy for making good videos..
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.
Why not even 1 million subscribers !
It hurts me a lot
You are the best
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.
I use my LG v60 and dual case for a bunch of reasons, one use is for retro game emulators.
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)
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.
Well, with the processing power that phones have these days it makes sense to spread it over two screens, whether that is practical to use is another question. Looks like the software is just too clunky at the moment
Answer: depends on person to person.
Being a G8x owner: it's a better less expensive multitasking experience than Foldable displays. The price and device usage with it's performance is worth it and I don't have to worry about durability, LG comes with 8 10 G milli spec grade. And it's modular so can enjoy both benefits of single and dual screen. Also two do make a difference on how you use a phone.
Also since it's android and you have problem with things like keyboard and other apps, you have alternative apps.
LG should make a dual screen for the Stylo 6 I was wondering if you could use a velvet case for the Stylo six
it depends on apps
1 use, if possible... is livestreaming your game and your selfie video(commentary) at the same time...
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.
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.
Since we at the moment only really have LG taking a shot at the Dual-Screen (until Microsoft becomes readily available), it holds reasonable potential.
If a single manufacturer can create a product-line like this which has people interested, a future with competition would refine things like better keyboard integration, removal of proprietary charging ports, etc.
Then again, we said the same thing about tablets and... Yeah...
Anyway, cool video. Would love to try out a dual-screen phone myself one day, but these shots make them feel a lot like what I imagined my Nintendo DS of the future would be.
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.
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
I agree that dual screen phones are an intermediate step to a foldable phone future. But until we can get a more scratch resistant screen on those foldable phones, I'll be looking to dual screen phones.
Personally, I love the concept. Let's just hope that Google, seeing the foldable and dual-screen phones coming, will make Android capable of more natively support this feature. As things are right now, I worry that it might be a bit clunky.
But I have hope that the Surface Duo that Microsoft is putting a lot of effort towards will be able to ship with a high enough degree of polish to make other phone manufacturers take notice and to create a trend in the industry.
I love the Star Trek videos that crop up almost every video!
I love that you referenced Poe!
Well does it mean u can have 2x everything 2x account 2x gaming account 2x space ...
