LG teased an announcement for a new smartphone that could include three screens. The teaser video comes ahead of the IFA tech conference in Berlin, which starts on September 6. The video appears to show a phone with two full-sized screens that opens like a book, with a smaller display on its front.
Based on the video, it also looks like two screens will be able to run two different apps simultaneously. For example, the clip shows a game running on one screen and a navigation app on the other. At the end of the teaser, the phone snaps shut and the time and date can be seen glowing on the front – hinting that the device will include a third cover display.
It looks very similar to the Dual Screen case LG introduced for its V50 ThinQ phone, which as its name implies adds a second screen to the device. In its video introducing the Dual Screen case for the V50, LG demonstrated how that additional display could be used to extend one app across two screens or run two separate apps.
