The camera array is designed slightly differently on the rear of the X cam in comparison to the flagship G5 but the same idea applies.

It's easy to choose which camera to capture with thanks to LG's camera app, which has a simple button on screen that lets you alternate between the two. One camera is the main 13Mp snapper, while the second one sitting right beside it on the rear of the phone is 5Mp but can capture a lot more in one thanks to its wide angle, ideal for landscapes. There's no way everything can be included at a lower-price point, so in this case LG just tried to focus on the camera.

It takes a little extra oomph to quickly toggle between the two camera lenses, which is why the X Cam has an octa-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. It's technically a mid-range or even entry-level device, but LG felt that those sorts of phones should also come with some of the features found in flagships. It comes in titan silver, white, gold and pink gold. There is also a 5.2-inch Full HD display on board, but unlike the X cam's sibling - there is no secondary screen on this device.

This isn't the first time we've sen a screen just like this on an LG phone.

You'll notice that the back of the X cam sports the dual camera in a very slightly protruding portion in the centre of the phone, while the X screen has a little portion of additional touchscreen at the top, right beside the front-facing camera.

The main display is 4.93-inches with a HD resolution on the X screen, while the secondary display is 1.76-inches with a 520 x 80 pixel resolution.

The user experience as a whole is founded upon Android 6.0 Marshmallow, but as part of 2016 iteration of LG's heavily skinned user interface overlay, elements like the apps drawer have completely disappeared; a divisive design choice more often than not. It means if you want a smartphone with a dual camera, or a dual screen, you can still have that without having to spend over £500.
