If I'm perfectly honest I'm a bit of a gadget-head and the LG dual screen really appealed to me. I had also looked and considered the Samsung Fold (nice concept but mediocre specs and average camera were too much to compromise on especially given the price) and the new Motorola Flip (also not the best of specs and I'm not sure how useful a screen that folds vertically would be) so, in the end, I plumped for the LG V50 with second screen and, to some extent, don't regret it. So, first the positives... The WOW factor works! The first time I showed someone something on the screen they went; WOW! Is that a DOUBLE-SCREEN phone! Awesome! The double-screen can also be truly useful. For example, I used one screen with Google Maps and the other one with Google StreetView which made for a novel navigation experience! Another nice feature that uses the two screens to goof effect is the camera which can immediately show the view or the image you have just taken on the other screen (there's also a mode that lets you see all three rear cameras on the 2nd screen (you can then either take a photo using EACH camera mode or tap the 2nd screen to select the most appropriate one)In general though you normally run two (or more) different programmes on the screens as only a a handful of apps work 'across' the two. Even then there is a noticeable 'lag' between the two screens so, for example, when using 'wide mode' in Google Chrome and scrolling down a web-page the left hand screen takes a fraction of a second to 'catch-up' with is more noticeable than I thought it would be at times. You also have to bear in mind that there's a fairly large black line down the middle of the screen created by the bezels of the two screens.There is good and bad news too with regards to the cameras. Firstly there are no less than FIVE of them BUT, the front/selfie-camera views are pretty much the same (a slightly wider view on one) which seems kind of pointless and the three rear camera are 'OK' but certainly not as good as many other Smartphone cameras o
