Just because the world is currently in love with the new [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-vision), doesn't mean that people should sleep on the [LG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-rollable) DoublePlay. The LG DoublePlay is a new phone created exclusively for [T-Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tmobile-promotion) 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.
