The dual-layer idea is right. The execution is a brick. You carry two displays whether you mount both or not. Flagship-class silicon means the LCD side does not feel like a toy.
If you want one device for deep work and the occasional ride-hail, this is the maximalist take. Most people will be happier with A10 or a Palma plus a regular phone.
