LG might make a phone you can add another screen to… no joke
June 12, 2025
You’ve got to give it toLGfor constantly trying to out-innovate their competition, from modular phones like theLG G5to phones with waytoo many cameras. The company is now apparently leaning towards selling you one with an optional second screen. Afolding phone, however, this is not.
According toCNET, LG is getting ready to show off multiple devices including theLG G8atMobile World Congressnext month. One of these new devices will have an optional second screen. There’s no confirmation whether LG will market this as a variant of the G8 or as a completely new series.

It is believed the additional screen will arrive as part of a case for the phone, apparently giving you more screen space to work with. This screen would presumably make use of theUSB Type-Cport or perhaps a proprietary connector.
The jury is still out on whether we really needdual screen phones, but what about a second screen attached to a case? This solution could potentially be used as a folio-style device with a stylus. Or how about a modern-day communicator with the keyboard split over on the other half? Since the screen would be on the inside, it would also be relatively protected against drops and scratches.
