Noteworthy, in 2019 LG announcement at the annual technology convention in Berlin, that it may debut a phone with three screens. It demonstrated how that additional display could be used to extend one app across two screens or run two separate apps.

What the device almost certainly won’t be is a foldable, which is a product category that LG has steered away from despite preparing to launch its rollable OLED TV this year. Instead of a folding screen.

Both the V50 ThinQ’s accessory and this new unannounced device appear to feature two separate screens which are attached by a hinge, and which do not bend like the displays on the Samsung Galaxy Fold or Huawei Mate X.
