The main USP of this device is that it comes with an additional side display screen at the right side, thus its right edge extends and curves until it reaches the back side of the phone which gives it a unique look. This side display can hold information’s like weather and times, it allows you to view these information easily when phone is laid flat on the table. When you use camera in horizontally, the shutter button and other functions appear on top.
Other functions of side display is that when phone is locked it can display time and notifications and when display is turned on it can provide one-tap access to app which we find on Home screen like flashlight, stopwatch and ruler.
