LG has announced the LG Wing, a phone with two screens on top of each other, whose top screen can be rotated 90 degrees.
The LG Wing has a 6.8-inch screen that fills the front in ‘Basic Mode’. This makes the device work like any other telephone. But this screen can be rotated to give the phone a T shape. In this ‘Swivel Mode’, an almost square screen of 3.9 inches appears under the tilted screen.
Apps can be opened on both screens. For example, it is possible to watch a video on the tilted screen, while the bottom screen is used for chatting. According to LG, one screen can be used for the route while driving, and the other to pick up the phone, without getting in each other’s way.
Three cameras are placed on the back of the phone. In Swivel Mode, the lower part can be used as a grip for the ‘Gimbal Motion Camera’. With this function, images are smoothed out if the user wobbles or shakes. For selfies, the device has a pop-up camera that slides up. As a result, the LG has no cuts or screen holes in the screen.
The LG Wing is equipped with a Snapdragon 765G 5G processor and 8 GB of RAM. The device is available in a variant with 128 GB and a variant with 256 GB storage space. There is a 4,000 mAh battery available.
According to LG, the Wing will come to the Netherlands in the fourth quarter of this year. No statements could yet be made about the prices.
