Early LG V30 renders show a secondary slide-out display

If you’re like us, you might have a special place in your heart for slider phones. LG seems to be tapping into that—or at least its early ideas for the V30 seem to think so. Evan Blass (@evleaks) tweeted several early mockups (here, here, and here) of the LG V30 showing a phone with a secondary display that slides out of the bottom of the device. And yes, we think it’s very reminiscent of the BlackBerry Priv.

Blass cautions that these are “old-ish” renders of the device so we can’t say if this is what LG plans for its V line. It does show us though what the company might be planning for its next V device. LG has been pretty experimental so far with its V line of devices and whether that pays off or not, we’re not sure. What do you think? Would you consider buying a phone like this?
