South Korea’s LG Electronics unveiled a 5G smartphone on Sunday with a dual screen, the latest handset maker to pitch a new design feature in an effort to revive flagging sales. The two screens on the new V50ThinQ work independently, so a user can watch a film on one screen while browsing the Internet on the other. (Reuters)
Getting snappy. Foldable phones were all the rage at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, including a $2,600 offering from Huawei.

Meanwhile the company ran full page ads in several prominent U.S. newspapers. The ads said the U.S. government had "developed some misunderstandings about us." Fortune
