LG Wing
Dual-Display Phone With ‘Swivel Mode’, Gimbal Camera Launched: Specifications
LG Wing will initially arrive in South Korea, followed by key
markets North America and Europe.
LG Wing has been unveiled as the company's first device under
the Explorer Project that is aimed to bring new usability concepts to the Smartphone
market. The Smartphone comes with two distinct displays - one of which is a
swivel screen that rotates clockwise in 90 degrees to enable new use cases. LG
has also offered various software tweaks to support the unique form factor and
provide an enhanced multitasking experience. The LG Wing features a hinge
mechanism that uses a thermoplastic polyoxymethylene at the back of the main
screen to facilitate smoother swiveling and to prevent scratches on the second
screen, the company claims. For selfies, the LG Wing comes with a pop-up selfie
camera.
LG Wing availability details

is yet to be revealed. However, the phone is set to debut in South Korea

LG Wing specifications, features
The LG
Wing features the hinge that uses a hydraulic damper along with dual spring and
dual lock to enable the rotation of the main screen. LG claims that
the hinge mechanism has been tested for as much as 200,000 swivels. Also, the
company has applied thermoplastic polyoxymethylene at the back of the main
screen. The material is often used in precision parts for high stiffness and
low friction. It is touted to help prevent scratches on the second screen.
The new
form factor brings Basic Mode and Swivel Mode as the two options to bring a
differentiated user experience. In the Swivel Mode, the company says that the
entire front of the phone rotates clockwise in 90 degrees and orients the main
screen in landscape mode. This brings a wide-screen experience and allows users
to interact with the second screen even while watching videos on the main
screen.
LG has
partnered with platforms including YouTube and Tubi to enable the Wing Smartphone
to play videos on the main screen while offering comments or the search bar on
the second screen. The second screen can also work as a media controller while
playing videos on the main screen.
The pre-installed Naver Whale browser is also optimized for the
new form factor. Further, LG has tied up with platforms such as Rave and Ficto
to utilize the second screen for displaying content while playing videos full
screen on the main screen.
Aside
from the new video playback experiences, the LG Wing comes with a Multi App
feature that lets users create shortcuts for pairs of apps that they want to
use simultaneously on both main and second screens. The Smartphone also comes
with a Grip Lock that once enabled, makes the second screen as a grip and
brings information such as time and date, without responding to any accidental
touches.
In terms
of specifications, the dual-SIM (Nano) LG Wing runs on Android 10 with
Q OS on top and features a 6.8-inch full-HD+ (1,080x2,460 pixels) P-OLED Full
Vision panel as the main screen, while its second screen is a 3.9-inch full-HD+
(1,080x1,240 pixels) G-OLED panel. The main screen has a 20.5:9 aspect ratio
and 395ppi of pixel density. However, the second screen comes with an odd,
1.15:1 aspect ratio and a pixel density of 419ppi.
The LG
Wing is powered by octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC, paired
with 8GB of RAM. The Smartphone comes with a triple rear camera setup that
houses a 64-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 lens, 13-megapixel secondary
sensor with an f/1.9 ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 12-megapixel tertiary sensor
with an f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle lens. There is also a hexa-motion stabiliser.
The
presence of dual ultra-wide-angle lenses on the LG Wing powers a Gimbal Motion
Camera feature that lets users control the camera angle using a virtual
joystick on the second screen. The feature also comes with a lock to reduce
shakes and blurring effects as well as a follow mode for optimizing videos when
moving, pan follow for horizontal movement. All this enables a real gimbal-like
experience, the company said.
For
capturing selfies and enabling video chats, the LG Wing comes with a
32-megapixel camera sensor on the pop-up module, along with an f/1.9 lens.
The LG
Wing comes in 128GB and 256GB of onboard storage options that both are
expandable via micro SD card (up to 2TB). Connectivity options include 5G, 4G
LTE-A, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth v5.1, NFC, GPS/ A-GPS, and a USB Type-C port.
There is an in-display fingerprint sensor. Further, the phone comes with an
IP54-rated water- and dust-resistant chassis. There is also a3D Sound Engine.
LG has
provided a 4,000mAh battery on the Wing that supports Quick Charge 4.0+ 25W
fast charging and 10W wireless charging. Besides, the phone measures
169.5x74.5x10.9mm and weighs 260 grams.
