LG also introduces a new Dual Screen accessory. It is not a foldable device but it is as interesting as one. It is a 3.2-inch FHD+ OLED display with 2160 x 1080. It attaches via Pogo Pin connections and is powered through the device's battery. It is designed to improve multitasking and gaming. It can be used a dedicated controller for some games as well.

There is no pricing announced yet for the LG V50. It will be first available in the US via Sprint and can be expected before the end of June 2019.

LG partnered with 10 major carriers in the US, South Korea, Australia and a number of European countries and we can expect a global roll out later this year.
