Doubled-Up Smartphone Touchscreens

The LG DoublePlay is Designed for Extreme Multitaskers

— October 20, 2011 — Tech
Just because the world is currently in love with the new iPhone, doesn't mean that people should sleep on the LG DoublePlay. The LG DoublePlay is a new phone created exclusively for T-Mobile that runs off of Android 2.3 and features a dual display.

The LG DoublePlay slides up to reveal a 3.5-inch touchscreen above and a second 2-inch touchscreen display below that divides the keyboard into two. The two displays can be used either simultaneously or separately, letting extreme multitaskers do two things, such as email and texting, at the same time. The phone's OS and its 5-megapixel camera equipped with flash make it a solid and more-than-likely more affordable alternative to the current crop of smartphones. A price for the LG DoublePlay has not been announced, but the phone is expected to drop during the holiday season.
Trend Themes
1. Dual Display Smartphones - The LG DoublePlay showcases the trend of dual display smartphones, providing opportunities for enhanced multitasking and productivity.
2. Extreme Multitasking - The LG DoublePlay caters to extreme multitaskers, highlighting the trend of consumers seeking devices that allow them to efficiently manage multiple tasks at once.
3. Affordable Alternatives - The LG DoublePlay offers a more affordable alternative to current smartphones, demonstrating the trend of consumers seeking cost-effective options without compromising functionality.
Industry Implications

2. Wireless Communication - The extreme multitasking trend opens up opportunities for wireless communication companies to develop advanced technologies that enable seamless and efficient multitasking capabilities.
3. Consumer Electronics - The demand for affordable alternatives in smartphones creates opportunities for consumer electronics companies to offer budget-friendly devices with competitive features.
