This dual screen accessory is a great alternative for the galaxy fold while they work out the kinks for foldable display tech.
@saxywale2
Yes. I can finally upgrade my G5 to a G8! Almost got the G7 or V30 as V40 wasn't sold in Canada. Samsung s10 has no QDAC, that is a major No go for me. LG is it!
