LG DoublePlay Review by Sydney
18.05.12

I've heard a lot of people complain that all smartphones these days look alike. 'They're all the same', they say. 'Just a flat square panel with a touchscreen on it.' Well, here's something different for you: a phone with two screens, one of them built into the also-included physical QWERTY. How's that for originality? Yes, we've seen this idea before and yes, it wasn't very popular. But I think LG is on to something here. Android is supposedly the only OS with true multi-tasking, but no matter how well it's designed you can still only do one thing at a time. What if you could literally do two things at once? What if you could check your e-mail and respond to a message while watching a video? Or upload a video while recording another one? Or take notes on a notepad while reading a web page? Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, that's the power that the DoublePlay brings.
The downside is that this is not the most capable or well-designed device overall. It's a shame that this dual-screen technology wasn't used on a more impressive device. Otherwise, it would be the must-have phone of the year (or at least until another Android phone came out the next week). Still, it has some awesome technology and a decent spec sheet. Is the DoublePlay worth a look?
