The Wing, LG’s flagship smartphone for this year, is a unique device with a dual-screen with a primary touchscreen that swivels sideways to reveal a secondary, smaller screen underneath. This is LG’s second attempt at dual screen smartphones. Before this, the company had launched the LG G8X dual screen smartphone which was selling at a massive discount in the recently concluded Flipkart Big Billion Days sale.  

However, this time the execution of two screens is different from before. The LG Wing has a 6.8-inch OLED main screen, similar to many phones. It’s the second display where things get interesting. The secondary display of the LG Wing rotates clockwise 90-degrees, unleashing a 3.9-inch square-shaped secondary screen. 

The new implementation allows you to make better use of apps and improve productivity. For example, you can watch a YouTube video on the top and use the bottom screen to comment.  

The smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 765G processor and is 5G-enabled. It has three cameras on the back: a 64MP main shooter, a 13MP ultra-wide, and another 12MP ultra-wide angle lens just for video. On the front, there’s a 32MP pop-up selfie camera. However, you can expect the smartphone to be positioned in the more premium segment. The Wing is priced at $1000 in the US, which is $1000 cheaper than Samsung’s foldable Galaxy Z Fold 2.
