Smartphone innovation is not dead and LG is out here proving it with the launch of its latest smartphone, the LG Wing. While phone makers are busy iterating on exactly the same glass-metal design, some are making foldables and others like LG are rolling out a never-seen-before offering. LG Wing breaks the mold with a swiveling front display, which reveals a secondary display for easy multitasking on the move.
The company hasn’t revealed the official price tag of the LG Wing just yet. The official blog post states that it will first go on sale in South Korea next month, followed by the US and Europe.
- Swiveling Front Screen
You must have already seen a ton of leaks surrounding the LG Wing and its swiveling screen. But, how does it exactly work? LG Wing features a huge 6.8-inch Full-HD+ P-OLED display with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio and 2460 x 1080-pixels resolution. Now, this screen rotates clockwise to reveal a secondary 3.9-inch G-OLED display with a 1.15:1 aspect ratio and 1240 x 1080-pixels resolution. This secondary screen sits under the primary one and has a ton of use-cases, as per LG.

Also, if you haven’t already noticed, there is no notch or punch-hole cut-out up on the front. LG has baked a 32MP pop-up selfie camera into its latest smartphone. As for the triple rear camera array, you get a 64MP (f/1.8) primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree FOV, and a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 117-degree FOV.
