V50 ThinQ 5G smartphone. This Dual Screen add-on attaches like a regular case but also draws power and a video signal from three connectors on the side of the V50.

Sony’s Xperia 1 offers a resolution of 1,644 x 3,840 pixels, matching the horizontal resolution of a 4K screen. That’s unparalleled in a phone.

The Xperia 1’s HDR color—brighter and deeper than on average phones—makes for a better selling point, but that may not be enough to overcome a price that, while unannounced, seems likely to be on the high side.
