ZTE’s Axon M has Dual LCD screens
Analyst Comment
This kind of product has been developed before – Sony had something like it a few years ago (the Tablet P in 2011 – Display Monitor Vol 18 Issue 36), but couldn’t get good software support for the dual screen function and the design didn’t go to a second generation. Apparently, Kyocera had one as well, I still think that the real development of foldable displays will be when there is a single display image. (BR)
