But before the issue of a particular model with such a design, the case has not yet come. But a competitor from China has hung up, starting selling Xiaomi Mi Mix. The manufacturer itself calls his creation conceptual, which speaks about two things. First, the company does not wait for mass sales. Secondly, there is no continuation output plans - it is possible that it will be the only Xiaomi smartphone with such a design.

We all know that many Chinese smartphones are similar to each other as the twins brothers.

Large manufacturers of smartphones rarely put experiments. And almost never spend the experiments on their flagships. LG G5 SE is a kind of exception to the rule. South Koreans risked, providing their expensive creation by a modular structure. No, it is impossible to change the processor, the display and some other the most important components. But you can change the battery and a small block connected to it. For example, you can buy a module, supplemented by a shutter button, which should provide more comfortable shooting. But, unfortunately, the undertaking at LG failed. It was planned that replaceable modules will be made by third-party companies. But no one became interested in this idea, and the LG G5 SE is sold is not very good.

As for the remaining characteristics, they only cause positive emotions. The 5.3-inch screen is endowed with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 points, which led to an unusually high pixel density.

But only before the first launch, after which the rear panel turns into a second screen created on the basis of electronic paper. Let it be black and white, but the information on it can be displayed even at a time when the device is in standby mode. And such a screen almost does not consume electricity. Read on it books and some notes - one pleasure!

Do not think that in a few years that have passed since the release of the smartphone, the characteristics have time to be outrage. Yes, now you can easily buy a device with more advanced components. But no phone will offer the second screen. Yes, and it is worth Yotaphone 2 now much cheaper than any flagship. At the same time, it can work in LTE networks and transmit data by Wi-Fi 802.11ac. You can regret here only about the main and frontal chambers that have a resolution of 8 and 2.1 Mp.
