Mobile games made better with a dual screen | LG EXPERIENCE

With the evolution of the smartphone, the world of mobile gaming has undergone a revolution. Whereas once users were limited to chasing a moving dot around a black and white screen, now there are multiplayer titles with astonishing graphics that rival that of the latest gaming console. 

From the success of Angry Birds more than a decade ago through to Clash of Clans, Candy Crush and Pokemon Go, mobile games have come a very long way in a short space of time. And the LG V50 ThinQ Dual Screen is one of the very best examples of a mobile phone that improves the entire gaming experience. 

The dual screen allows you to play gaming apps on the 6.4” screen, while using the secondary display as a designated controller. This means you can game with greater accuracy, responsiveness and immersion, making mobile gaming even more fun. 

Discover below how the V50 ThinQ Dual Screen can improve your gaming experience and learn more about the mobile games that make the most of the LG Gamepad. 


Fortnite Battle Royale 

Played by more than 250 million people worldwide, Fortnite has become a global phenomenon thanks to it combining the best of building games like Mincecraft with the very best of Battle Royale games such as PUBG. 

Extremely easy to play with friends with tons of fresh new content, you can employ different techniques in a bid to be the last person standing, whether you use stealth to creep your way to victory, edge camp or rush with an SMG.

Such has been the success of the game that there are a range of custom controllers for the game, and this is exactly what you get with the GV50 ThinQ Dual Screen. The phone features a specific console control with LG Gamepad that makes it even easier to navigate the map and find the perfect spot to launch an ambush. 

The dual screen also ensures that your hands do not block the screen and instead you can enjoy searching for loot and spotting your enemies on the incredible clear 6.4” screen high-resolution screen.

Asphalt 9: Legends 

When it comes to racing games, consoles have always had the edge thanks to a range of accessories that include steering wheels, shifters and pedals. Mobile racing games have found it difficult to compete as controlling a car perfectly by tilting the screen or with the touch of your fingertips can be difficult and frustrating.

Thankfully with the dual screen on the LG V50 ThinQ one display is used for the graphics and the other features racing controls that includes a highly-sensitive steering wheel. This should give you the edge as you tackle tracks from Cairo to the Caribbean and work your up from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X to the Mercedes-AMG GTS.
