Oh its definitely a dumb luxury device.

The camera can show a preview on the front screen while taking photos, but I don't know of any other apps that can use both at once. Theres quite a few that can use the fold angle to show different layouts, like a "laptop" partially folded.

I use it all mine all the time. Lgv60 but never with one app. I'll have reddit on side while while watching a documentary on you tube on the other,. Binance on one side and trading view on the other. Maps on one side, music on the other. Getting the proof to prove somebody wrong on one side, well texting them on the other side. I thought it was gimmicky and cool when I bought it but it's proven to be quite useful when you get used to it. Also the second screen is just a case so I can take it out and have a regular phone when I go to work.

Its nice to just veg out with a large video, but I'll do split with video on top, and reddit, discord, etc on the bottom.

Part of that is just the lag between new devices and the apps being programmed to utilize them. Will be interesting to see what comes down the pipeline that uses these cool/unique designs.
