Guys, we had the optimal form factor, the LG Wing, years ago! No folding displayed required!

I'm not even joking. I used mine for years and loved it.

    I really miss my LG Wing. The USB port went out first and I used to charge it only with wireless charging for a few months but that's just not viable for longevity. No shop around here wants to take a crack at repairing it for me.

    Genuinely the second small screen is so useful. I can have my navigation and music player on screens and not muck about as much. I can list more but now I'm ashamed as most of what I use both for are for media consumption lol

    I genuinely thought this would be some old ass phone from when before smartphones were a thing.

    It came out in 2020. The phone I'm typing this on came out 1,5 years after that.

    Also what is this monstrosity??

    I like the Surface Phone 2 form factor. Having the display be glass helps a ton, and the bezel inside is pretty small. It would be even better with an e-ink outer display; that's plenty for most phone things, and then you could open it up for videos and such.

    Yeah, another great phone that we need more versions of. LG also tried that via a case for the Velvet.

    And the G7 and G8 before the Velvet.

    In fact LG was one of the few ones to try the dual screen phones. For them, it's via add-on cases. Then there's the Microsoft Surface phones. But then you have no choice because it's always attached. They're more like prototype current foldable phones though.
