LG has released standard flagship smartphones like LG Velvet and wrestled with the idea of manufacturing folding smartphones in its way. LG Wing was announced by the brand on 4th September this year, featuring a case comprising a secondary screen for enabling the users with an additional magnanimous experience. The latest flagship smartphone from the brand is the first release and belongs to the company’s Explorer project. The is no folding panel in the LG Wing, and the smartphone if featuring a rotating screen to reveal the smaller and squarer screen beneath it. Here is everything that you must know before going for this smartphone.

LG Wing Price in India

LG Wing price in India is Rs. 39,990. This is the latest price of this model as per Flipkart on March 4, 2023. You will get the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant of the LG Wing model at this price point.

It is available in two colours which are Aurora Gray, and Illusion Sky. So if you are looking for a budget phone that offers impressive features, then the LG Wing is the perfect choice for you.

LG Wing Design 

LG Wing looks like any other smartphone when viewed the first time. There is an edge-to-edge display, and the design is rectangular with side buttons, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and a Type-C port on the bottom side. The smartphone is dense and thicker than the LG Velvet.

What makes this smartphone unique is the swivel mode. Switching to it will swivel out the main 6.8-inch screen sideways, exposing the secondary 3.9-inch mini display under it. The smaller display will work just like the bigger one, allowing you to use the applications on it and providing a dedicated space for a keyboard.

The volume buttons are placed on the right side with a lock button below it. When the phone is closed, it gets hard to differentiate them, and when the displays are Swivelled open, you will find all three buttons behind the display, and it may seem awkward to press them. Also, the smartphone with two displays is heavy to handle with a 260-gram weight.  

LG Wing Display 

Taking the LG Velvet, a footprint for display size, the LG Wing comes with a 6.8-inch FHD+ POLED display, featuring the LG’s current flagship size with a resolution of 10802460. Under this display, there lies a 3.9-inch GOLED secondary display under the display, which makes this smartphone unique. Also, the selling point of this smartphone is its dual display.

The main display of the LG Wing will twist around to reveal the second screen and looks like a T-block instead of folding out side by side. For ensuring a smooth rotation, LG Wing comes with a dual lock system, tested 200000 times for ensuring longevity. There is a hydraulic damper with a dual spring system to distribute weight equally, ensuring the screen doesn’t move on its own accord.

LG Wing Performance 

LG Wing offers Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 chipset to run the device smoothly and enable 5G connectivity. The chipset is clubbed with a  respectable 8GB RAM, which is not a top-tier feature, and comprises an onboard internal storage of 256GB, which can be expanded up to 2TB via a dedicated microSD slot. The processor is the same that you can see in low-cost 5G smartphones like OnePlus Nord and Google Pixel 4a G5, and the overall performance of the LG Wing will be decent.

LG Wing runs on Android 10, much like Velvet and LG V60, featuring the custom LG UX skin on the top. The smartphone is quite clean and features a certain polish level that you would expect from a flagship-level smartphone.  

LG Wing Camera 

The camera department is another exhibition area of the LG Wing. Although the triple-lens camera setup hardly matches modern standards, the smartphone has differentiated itself from high-end devices by featuring a Gimbal-equipped Ultra-wide lens, panning automatically or with the help of an on-screen joystick to ensure smooth motion.

No doubt, there is a 64MP main camera along with 13MP Ultra-wide camera on the rear side of the LG Wing. It’s the middle 12MP lens, which is specially designed for videos, benefiting from the Hexa motion sensor technology.

LG Wing has a 32MP Pop Up selfie camera with an aperture of f/1.9. The Pop-Up camera will hide away when there isn’t any use for it and will rise for capturing selfies when you will hit selfie mode. This feature allows the users to utilize the smartphone in the most optimal ways, based on the requirement.

LG Wing Battery 

There is a 4000 mAh battery under the hood, which is almost normal for flagship smartphones. LG Wing supports+ Quick Charge along with 25W fast charging and 10W wireless charging. Although the smartphone brand claims that the general efficiency and the heavily optimized power draw of LG Wing are there to maximize the battery backup, the smartphone might consume more battery with the mini screen active, and the main screen swiveled open.

LG Wing Verdict 

The LG Wing is an incredibly fun and exceptionally cool smartphone. It’s a conversation starter with a unique display and stunning camera feature. The eccentricity of this smartphone is an acquired flavor, and the curious ones or tech enthusiasts should buy this.
