LeTV have been pulling out all the stops and creating some of the most interesting phones of this year, and for next year? Well what about dual screen phones and rotating cameras?
According to sources in China the next generation of LeTV phones are going to offer thinner bodies and will feature technical advances not yet seen before. ‘Technical Advances’ is quite a general term but we have a few renders which point at the direction LeTV are hoping to go in.
These images show a purported 2nd generation LeTV phone with curved, almost pebble like design, but those curved areas are infact dual screens curved back to back to meet each other! Think of the concept as a cross between the Xiaomi Mi Note’s rear and Galaxy S6 Edge front but with a dual screen design wrapped around it!
It’s an exciting concept that takes a crazy turn when you realise the top of the phone is designed to rotate allowing for 360 degree rotating camera features.

If the renders weren’t enough to drool over there are even a few hardware features to go along with them. Apparently those dual screens will be 3D panels that don’t require 3D glasses, and the rotating camera will be a Sony IMX300, 23 mega-pixel sensor with RAW output support.
Other hardware details include a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 5.7-inch 2K display, 4-6GB RAM , 32GB memory and Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology!
It’s all a little much to stomach really, and while I would love to see a phone like this released, I don’t believe it will come to market as early as Q1 of 2016 as the rumours suggest.
What do you make of these renders? Is this a concept you would like to see come to life?
Omg amazing specs and amazing phone just unbelievable wow
I’ll go with the saying ‘if it looks too good to be true than it is too good to be true’ for now
+1
this probably wont look like this when it launches but the specsheet seems legit enough
Not a good idea that rotating camera, if it’s true.
Drool…
Thinner and two screens? so I will have to carry powerbank attached to it all the times than?
For me the renders show double glass, but one screen only. Or speaker grill and logo will be a feature on the screen as well. The rotating camera can be a real hit or miss depending on the joint mechanism.
If this is true then it really does look amazing and I really like the direction they are heading in. Only 2 concerns for me, the rotating camera which I don’t like and I don’t even want to imagine the price of this beast!
it’s going to be expensive, but knowing them they will going to price it right
Render, rumours and so on … let’s just see the damn thing when it launches and then we can talk.

It will not be with IMX300 in Q1 2016. Sony are not stupid.

What I would love to see is a standard 5.5 inch screen on the front and a 5.5 inch e-ink display on the back. That could drastically cut down battery usage if you are just reading a book or news etc… In fact many apps could work in black and white just as good as in color.
Oukitel U6 might fit in those specs. It has dual screens and is cheap for its 299$
It’s a step in the good direction but not quite there yet. I would be OK with the price if both screens were 5.5
The design is a bit ugly though… it would help if at least it was black and the metal part was silver/gray.

Would be interesting if the camera aperture sat on the edge of the phone and when rotated could use the entire length (width?) internally for an optical zoom (chamber). Of course the phone overall would need to be thicker.
