Sales will start from September 10.
The phone sports two 5.6-inch, 1800 x 1350, 60Hz OLED panels joined by a hinge that the company claims has been in the works for years. These two displays can come together to form a larger display. When open, it features 8.1-inch Dual PixelSense Fusion AMOLED displays with 2700×1800 pixels resolution and 401 PPI. The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. The 360-degree hinge allows the phone to lay flat on a table, unfolded.
