I found this interesting video about the Lenovo LG V50:

Just skip the start and scroll straight to 8:05
This device has a second clip-on screen that connects to the pogo pins on the back of the phone (Am I right in assuming the Pinphone has them as well?). It really clips on as easily as a phone cover and can be swivelled 360 degrees.
Linux supports multiscreens, so this should not be too difficult to implement on the software side.
The second screen can be used as a keyboard, but also as a trackpad, extended video viewing screen etc. The possibilities are endless.
In fact, on my desktop, in Linux Mint, I can just switch the on-screen keyboard under "Accessibility".
