LG V50 Dual Screen attachment review: Are two screens better than one?

The LG V50 Dual Screen attachment kind of went under the radar when it was first announced back at Mobile World Congress in February. Now, the $199 accessory is finally available for LG V50 ThinQ The LG V50 Dual Screen attachment kind of went under the...

Draws charge from the phone ; Convenient form-factor ; Fast switching

Subpar secondary display ; Limited app support ; Not very durable

Yes, but you’re better of waiting for the second-gen LG Dual Screen accessory

LG V50 ThinQ 5G review: A dual-display 5G flagship Review | ZDNet

LG's V50 ThinQ 5G is a 5G smartphone with a difference: it comes with a hinged cover that incorporates a second screen. If this doesn't appeal, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.

Add-on second screen ; Good dual screen controls on pop-out control bar ; 5G support ; 3.5mm headset jack

Second screen has lower resolution than main screen ; Battery life suffers when running two screens ; Bulky and heavy with second screen attached ; Poor speaker ; Slippery glass back

LG V50 ThinQ review: An affordable 5G entry point

The LG V50 ThinQ is reserved for just a few markets right now. If you live in an area where Sprint 5G service is available, this phone is a bargain thanks to an aggressive lease price from Sprint. The LG V50 ThinQ is reserved for just a few markets...

Gorgeous display ; 5G! ; Top specs ; Solid performance ; Great audio

Boring hardware ; Questionable 5G battery life ; Camera only average ; Limited availability

LG V50 ThinQ 5G Review: Last Year's Design, Next Year's Tech

With the V50 ThinQ, LG is one of the first phone makers to offer a 5G-ready device in the U.S., trailing Samsung by just a few weeks. The V50 might not be an eye-catching or even entirely new device in the same vein as the Galaxy S10 5G, but that might...

Beautiful display ; Faster download speeds on Sprint's 5G network

Poor battery life on LTE ; Really expensive ; Sprint exclusive at launch ; Dated design

Unless you absolutely have to have a 5G smartphone, skip LG's V50 ThinQ. You can buy a better flagship for less.

LG V50 ThinQ Hands-On: 5G Results, Release Date, Specs and Price

The LG V50 bears quite a few similarities to the V40 before it. But 5G connectivity could make all the difference.

LG V50 ThinQ hands-on: missing something, and not a just second screen | AndroidPIT

The V50 ThinQ is the first 5G smartphone from the South Korean manufacturer. With only slight design changes, the V50 still looks to the future.

Even LG does not give up the launch of its 5G smartphone showing how it wants to prepare for the future and keep up with the technologies of the moment. It does so, however, by releasing the V50 together with the G8, rather than releasing, for example,...

LG V50 Review | Trusted Reviews

Our review of the LG V50 explores how well this 5G phone delivers; including the experience offered by its unusual Dual Screen foldable accessory.

Top-notch performance ; Capable audio chops ; Decent battery life ; 5G-ready

Underwhelming cameras ; Dual Display is awkward ; Bland design

At its core, the LG V50 is a retread of last year’s V40 that sports a spec bump and embraces 5G. It’s just a shame the additional screen seems like little more than a gimmick.

LG V50 ThinQ initial review: 5G in a familiar package

LG wanted to be quick to market with the LG V50 ThinQ, so it launches its first 5G device along side the LG G8 ThinQ. The differentiation between these

Much of what the LG V50 ThinQ offers sounds familiar - and that's because it is. The LG V50 is an evolution of the LG V40, bringing much the same experience, a similar design and pretty close tech specs, but with some important bumps to accommodate 5G.
