To recap
This device - despite sub-flagship hardware - makes for a more attractive offering than many recent LG phones. What’s really caught our attention is the Dual Screen cover - doubling the 6.8-inch screen with a second one of the same size. However, there are weaknesses in the camera, giving pause for thought in a very competitive market.
