Twin-screen LG smartphone spied

Split keyboard splits opinion

Agentless Backup is Not a Myth

Check this bad boy out. Unearthed at an event in London this week, this mysterious LG handset features a slide-out Qwerty keyboard split in twain by a second display, seemingly used to launch apps.

The yet-to-be announced LG device is branded with T-Mobile's logo and was demo'd among a selection of US-only handsets.

A series of snaps were grabbed by Pocket-Lint, which was told by reps that the phone may be called the Flip II.

Rumours suggest, though, it is the LG Maxx Q - a handset heading to the US at a later date.

We'll let you know when we hear more. What do you think about dual-screen handsets? ®

I actually don't mind it

Ever used ThumbKeyboard on an Android tablet? It splits the qwerty keyboard in this manner, which actually makes it easier to hold in both hands and type. I suspect the arrangement here is less about the second screen and more about the split keyboard.
