I’ve never been this excited about a cellphone before, especially a smartphone, but this is e verything I want in a smartphone ever since the Expanse solved the stupid portrait mode.

I do like this form factor, but LG has a long way t o go on fixing it s buggy, craptastic, infrequently updated take on Android.

Pardon the old man in me, but this just seems like more stuff to break over time.

Can the camera record landscape too while turned vertically?

Me too. Probably my next phone. I'm a sucker for a good phone gimmick. I have the moto z2 force with the moto mods and unbreakable screen that I love.

I applaud LG for making something different, but much like the G5 and G Flex 2, I think it’ll ultimately end up as a novel smartphone idea that didn’t catch on. The fact that LG isn’t in the top tier for software or hardware doesn’t help matters, either.

This is the one thing that worries me: their sofware

replace the bottom layer screen with a physical keyboard instead and I would be all over that.

my absolute favorite phone I had was an LG Tritan. It was a slider that had a touchscreen, full keyboard, and a joystick mouse.

If I could have the same form factor even at the same performance level as my current Galaxy S5 I’d instabuy.

I saw that commercial for vertical movies shot on iPhone and I still haven't stopped recoiling from the horror.

It’ll probably be fine. Your inner old man will remember that b efore smartphones, phones had all sorts of mechanical stuff going on. I had a few flip phones and a few sliders before my first smartphone, and none of them had any mechanical problems.
