One thing you have to love about Android is the different form factors. We have your basic smartphone to a tablet with a keyboard dock, a tablet with a phone dock, and dual-screened smartphones and tablets. Now comes another concept from LG that puts screens on the front and back of the phone. Why front and back? LG thinks its more natural for mult-tasking. If you are running two applications at the same time, by flipping the phone, it gives a feeling of separation.

If you noticed I used the word, “concept,” because that's all it is for the moment. Whether this ever goes into production or not is anyone'e guess, but they might want to check to see if Apple has a patent on it. More pictures and a video after the break.

Robert lives in upstate New York where he was born and raised. Technology was always his passion. His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

So instead of having true multitasking we are just going to add screens? Up next “the cube”
