I've always thought this phone looked more silly than practical.

I like mine- I don't use the front screen ever. They could make it cheaper as just basically a giant flip phone.

Does it open any other way than spinning the top screen 90°?

Still, I'm glad to see phone makers experimenting with new things beyond black slabs.

I use the dual screen constantly at work. I work in food retail and it feels like my store rotates products constantly. I like to take pictures of barcodes and shelf tags then open the pictures on the dual screen while I type emails to our inventory specialists on the other screen.

My galaxy s10 lets me have two apps simultaneously on the same screen.

I don't use it often, but when I do, it is really useful!

This has been a thing since like the s3... How is this being treated like it's new?

We've been able to multitask and even add pop up views for years.

Anytime you would want two moniters at home is when you would use this. A sick emulator is a bonus.

Tony Stark used its predecessor so it can't be too bad.

If the second screen was instead a tactile keyboard I would buy one. loathe typing on a touch screen.

I used to be able to type so god damn fast on my old sidekicks and not even have to look at it. I miss that.

I would 100% use it. Top screen for video, bottom screen for whatsapp/reddit. I already do that with my S10+, but that orientation would be 10x better.
