Mobile Device User Evaluation: LG DoublePlay

In an end-user evaluation highlighting features of the dual-screen and split keyboard, Strategy Analytics has found that the LG DoublePlay provides a useful experience for multi-tasking with the second screen on the slide out keyboard. Participants found the ability to have two applications open at the same time as a very valuable feature that gave them advanced multi-tasking capabilities. However, the majority of participants found the second screen too small to be effective and valuable, therefore not providing a compelling user experience. Most of the participants found it difficult to use the physical split keyboard to input text due to the small screen in the middle dividing the keyboard, making the layout unfamiliar to the user.
