Meanwhile, the LCD allows for watching videos, using the rear camera or browsing the web more smoothly, even though it’s on a relatively small screen. This combination of two screens is also intended to be useful for running multiple applications simultaneously. For example, music controls can be displayed on the IPS panel while reading a book below.
The LCD also shows the time as well as widgets. Since most applications are shown on the larger e-ink display, the Pixel Duo should sport an exceptionally long battery life. Because this device is only a concept smartphone for now, there are no plans to actually bring it to market.
