LG전자가獨베를린에서열린'IFA 2019'를통해선보인'LG V50S^ThinQ(해외명LG G8X^ThinQ)'와전용액세서리'LG듀얼스크린(LG Dual Screen)'이다수의해외유력매체들로부터'최고상(Best of IFA 2019)'을수상하는영예를안았다.

LG V50S^ThinQ와LG듀얼스크린은전시회가폐막하기하루전인10일을기준으로총9개매체로부터최고상을받았다.

美유력IT매체'안드로이드헤드라인(Android Headlines)'은'LG전자는우리가본가장실용적인방식으로폴더블폰을선보였다(LG's take on a foldable phone is the most practical we've seen)'고말하며LG V50S^ThinQ를최고제품으로선정했다.

또"LG전자는뛰어난카메라성능을계속이어가고있다(LG continues to show off its camera prowess)"며"특히이번엔전면카메라에중점을뒀다(This time, it has a big focus on the front-facing camera)"고3,200만화소전면카메라를언급하기도했다.

미국의또다른IT전문매체'톰스가이드(Tom's Guide)'는LG V50S^ThinQ를최고제품으로선정하며"듀얼스크린은화면두개를활용하는혁신적이면서도실용적인방식으로트렌드를이끌고있다(The LG G8X^ThinQDual Screen is tackling the dual-screen phone trend in a practical, yet innovative way)"고말했다.

현장에서제품을직접체험한외신들을중심으로LG V50S^ThinQ와LG듀얼스크린의뛰어난실용성에대한호평도이어졌다.

미국의경제전문지'포브스(Forbes)'는"듀얼스크린은폴더블폰보다더실용적으로개선된제품(LG's G8X Dual Screen is an improved, more practical version of the foldable phone)"이라고소개했다.한편포브스는지난7월LG V50^ThinQ에대해서도'가장실용적인폴더블옵션'이라고호평한바있다.

포브스는또"신제품은힌지의내구성이높아졌고,두각도에서만고정이가능했던전작과달리모든각도에서고정할수있는것이장점(the hinge is now sturdier and stays still at any anglepreviously the V50 Dual Screen only had four fixed angles)"이라고말하며전작대비신제품의사용성이높아진점도높게평가했다.

美IT전문매체'더버지(The Verge)'는"두개의스크린이폴더블보다활용도가높음을보여준다(LG's new G8X^ThinQbets that two screens are better than a foldable one)"며, "그자체로도훌륭하지만,듀얼스크린이큰매력포인트(It's a good phone by itself, but the secondary screen is the big draw)"라고극찬했다.

또다른美IT매체'폰아레나(PhoneArena)'는신제품의컨셉에대해"LG는스마트폰으로멀티태스킹할수있는보다새롭고포괄적인방법을제시하는것이목표(The company's goal with both products, and especially the Dual Screen attachment, is to deliver new and more comprehensive ways to multitask on a mobile device)"라고말했다.

LG듀얼스크린은두화면에서서로다른앱을동시에구동하는'동시사용',앱하나의UI를확장해실행하는'분리사용'이모두가능해다양한작업을동시에처리해야하는멀티태스킹에적합하다.

예를들어스마트폰으로영화를보는동시에듀얼스크린에서는출연배우,줄거리등을검색하는것이가능하다.또게임을실행할때화면두개를연동해한쪽화면에는게임을,다른쪽에는컨트롤러를띄워사용할수도있다.
