LG presented two new mid-range smartphones next to its flagship LG G5 at MWC in Barcelona this year. Now we're putting one of those devices, the LG X Screen, to the test. One particularly exciting question is whether the second screen is really a selling point.

Second screen; Easy to use

Dim display

LG X Screen Review: We've spent a few days with LG's new dual-screen smartphone, the LG X Screen, a more budget version of the premium LG V10 which came out last year. Here's what we think of the LG X Screen, including the cameras, screen, performance, battery life and more.

Secondary screen; Smooth performance; Camera strong in low light

With a name like LG X Screen, you might expect LG's latest to have a huge or super-sharp display. It has neither. In fact, it's a lot more interesting than that. This is a mid-range, modestly sized Android smartphone with a decidedly outlandish component: a secondary 'ticker' screen positioned...

LG has taken a slightly different approach to its mid-range smartphones this year. Instead of simply creating a cheaper version of its flagship LG G5 , it's taking the phone's key features and sharing them out across several different handsets.

Samsung had the best press conference, but LG had the best product. The LG G5 literally wowed the crowds at MWC and redefined what you can expect from a high-end smartphone. Its launch put its other new smartphones (announced during the week preceding MWC) with the X Cam and X Screen phones lying...
