Following earlier reports, LG recently confirmed that it’s shutting down its smartphone business later this year. The company, however, will continue to sell its devices to clear existing inventories before closing down its mobile unit. So today, LG, in partnership with Flipkart, is offering an attractive discount on LG Wing, its unique and swiveling T-shaped smartphone in India.
The massive discount on LG Wing will be available for a limited time on Flipkart. The e-commerce giant has slashed the price by a whopping Rs 40,000 (~$535) as part of its latest “Flagship Fest” sale event, which kicks off today and continues up to 15th April.
South Korean tech giant, before showing off the Rollable Phone at CES, unveiled the LG Wing 5G with an unusual form factor back in 2020. This dual-screen device features a unique swiveling mechanism that shifts the primary front display to the top (in a horizontal orientation) to reveal the secondary screen underneath. This gives the device a one-of-a-kind, T-shaped form factor that no smartphone in the market offers.
Apart from its unusual form factor, the LG Wing rocks a Snapdragon 765G SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2TB with a microSD card). There is a triple-camera setup at the back with a 64MP primary lens, a 12MP ultra-wide lens with a 120-degree FOV, and another 13MP ultra-wide sensor with a 117-degree FOV.
Now, there is no official word from LG about this Flipkart offer. However, as per Android Authority, a company spokesperson, in a statement, said: “LG Wing is one of the most innovative devices. We wanted to offer this unique android device at a special price. In collaboration with Flipkart, this offer is valid for a limited period.”
