LG will be attending IFA 2019 to announce new smartphones. The teaser video revealed one of the phones will be compatible with LG’s Dual Screen accessory which was announced at MWC alongside the LG V50 ThinQ 5G. Yesterday, LG and NAVER, South Korea’s largest search engine provider announced a browser called Whale specially designed for LG Dual Screen.

Whale is based on Google’s open-source Chromium browser and it brings what NAVER calls “omnitasking”. Omnitasking allows you to run several tasks simultaneously on one screen.

The browser has split-screen support with an adjustable divider and allows you to browse two sites in the same tab. When you add the LG Dual Screen accessory, it takes it to a whole new level, allowing you to browse on two screens and move between them seamlessly. An example given by LG says if you are shopping online, you can view the store’s main menu on one screen and read product descriptions on the other screen. If you are also a multiple language speaker, you can read the news in two different languages simultaneously on the Whale browser.

LG revealed in the press release that it plans to launch more devices with support for LG Dual Screen and some will be announced at IFA Berlin. These phones will come with the NAVER Whale browser pre-installed.

Hyo Kim who is the head of the NAVER Whale team said the browser will be available in more languages by the end of the year.
