If lg keeps the 2nd screen adds led and a stylus. I would definitely stay with the next gen v series.

Evan Blass is pretty reliable but rumors 10 months in advance don't seem to mean much.

He's just make guesses so that if it happens he's the tech soothsayer. I love the second screen use it all the time

Evan Blass didn't get his reputation by making guesses. He has very well placed sources.

Does he not even know the V30 will have an AMOLED screen? That's why it won't have a separate LCD screen. It won't need one because the AMOLED screen can just use the pixels at the top. With LCD, you can't do that. I'm sure the phone will also let you move the ticker to the bottom.

He's had a pretty high percentage of being right. I don't know if the second display going away would be a big deal to me. I don't use it per se, but I do appreciate it being there for the notifications and the camera control.

the 2nd screen is pretty cool. i like how when i get all call i can answer or reject from the 2nd screen and still have view of what i'm working on. the only negative i've found is that when i am on a call and i try to swipe down notification bar i accidentally end up hanging up on my call because my fingers tap that 2nd screen

I like the second screen. I don't want them to do away with it.

This is true for times when the screen is off, but there's still all the other functions the second screen offers with the screen on that can't be replicated on a single screen without either cutting off part of the display or a floating window that blocks parts of the display. Even if they do go to AMOLED displays, I hope the secondary screen remains.

I love, love the 2nd screen on the V20. It's so so much better than the Edges on my previous S6 Edge+ and Note 7.

I use it all the time either with my favorite apps and most used contacts

If they go oled, an always on display takes over the primary use of my secondary display. I can understand getting rid of it, as the shortcuts arent that much of a time save.

Kinda sucks that recent apps in 2nd screen is just a mirror of open tasks. Once you clear the running rask the recent apps menu clears too.

Lol. Here is dudes latest tweet. Typical media misunderstanding and reporting on thing they know little about.

Language is just so important. Found it interesting that many publications mistranslated this as "ditching the secondary display."

They are definitely moving to AMOLED. There was a news article a few weeks ago out of South Korea, that described how they wanted the new G6 to have AMOLED, but their current manufacturing is at capacity for wristwatch screens they make for other companies, and the TV side was also at capacity. So it said they were pushing their AMOLED screens for smartphones to the second half of 2017. Which lines up for the V30.

My main point was that the secondary screen has a purpose regardless of the display technology.
