LG Wing: a new smartphone with an amazing double rotating screen

With its two rotating screens, the LG Wing could bring a new way to use a smartphone. Once deployed, the smartphone then adopts a T-shape, revealing its second screen that can be used as a keyboard. Not sure that it is nevertheless very practical to use.

 

The LG Wing is not official, but it could be released very soon. In any case, this is what the Korean website ETNews claims. The particularity of this smartphone, you will understand, is in its design a little special. Will it be practical in everyday use? That remains to be seen.

The LG Wing, a T-smartphone?

This smartphone, codenamed Wing, has a 6.8-inch screen that can rotate itself to get into a horizontal position. This manipulation then reveals a second 4-inch screen in 1:1 format. As shown in the smartphone’s only image, this allows the software buttons to appear – here a keyboard – in order to completely free up the space of the main screen. However, this T-shape does not seem very practical to use. We only ask to change our minds once the product is in hand.

This is not the first time that LG has offered a phone with this format, since the LB1500 and LU1400, terminals of the 2000s (so not smartphones) had a rotating screen in the same way. In addition to its curious screens, the Wing would be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon Series 7 processor and a 64-megapixel camera. It is expected to be released towards the end of the year for a price hovering around $800.

If there’s one thing that can’t be taken away from LG, it’s that the manufacturer is looking to come up with something different. In addition to the Wing, we remember the G8X ThinQ presented at the IFA in 2019. This smartphone also consists of two screens, but does not use them in the same way. Indeed, both displays close in on themselves, in the same way as the Surface Duo presented by Microsoft.
