This includes App shortcut, favorite contacts, music playing, next schedule, recent apps and quick tools. The Always-on Display allows users to check basic information such as time, date and notifications without turning on the phone, the first mid-tier smartphone to offer this unique feature.
The X Screen’s look is complemented by the crystal-clear glass fiber material that covers the back. The curved edges on its sides create a simple yet elegant design. The LG X Screen runs Android 6.0 and is powered by a 2300mAh battery.
The LG X Screen is powered by 1.2GHz quad-core and it comes with 2GB of RAM. The phone has 16GB of internal storage and packs a 13-megapixel primary camera on the rear and an 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies.
