To recap
The quirkiest phone solution to the front camera issue that we’ve used to date, the Dual Display is the embodiment of an idea we don’t really need: two screens aren’t truly necessary, despite lots of potential and enough power to run both sides in tandem. The big issue with the Dual Display, however, is the way it functions outside of its native China - it’s not ready for the Googleised Android world in this software form.
