LG Wing 5G Specs and Price

The LG Wing 5G is a pretty device. This device is one of the first smartphones from LG’s Explorer Project and it brings in a unique design that solves smartphone usage problems we have lived with for many years now.

Below is the LG Wing 5G body design and specifications.

Design and Display

Looking at the LG Wing 5G, the device packs a dual display. There is the main display which rotates 90° to reveal a smaller screen. Well, both screens work together to provide new usage scenarios and improve on existing ones.

Looking at this new design, you will agree with me that durability is essential here. LG says the hinge which allows the main screen swivel to make use of a dual-spring, dual-lock, and hydraulic damper.

All of these works together to prevent disconnection provides a uniform distribution of force and also absorbs shocks when swiveled.

The company further claims the LG Wing was put through multiple durability tests including stress tests, shock tests, bending tests, and touch sensors, and keypress tests.

Are you worried about the inner screen getting scratched by the outer one? Well, LG says it has applied a poly-oxy-methylene (POM) coating on the second screen that prevents it from been damaged by the larger one.

In other words, the Wing is also MIL-STD-810G certified. The device is not that heavy and this was achieved by reducing the thickness of the alloy frame and applying a perforation technique to reduce the mass. The weight of the phone was reduced from over 300 grams to 260 grams.

The LG Wing offers a 6.8-inch 2460 x 1080 screen that swivels up 90° to reveal a smaller 3.9-inch 1240 x 1080 screen behind it. Both screens have OLED panels.

LG Wing Dual Screen Offers An Amazing Usage Scenario

The LG Wing’s swivel dual-screen offers some amazing usage scenarios. For example, some of the apps will automatically take advantage of the second screen when in the dual-screen mode such as YouTube which can display playback controls or comments while the main screenplays the video.

Even music apps can also do the same thing. If you are scrolling on your app gallery, highlighted photos will show up on the main screen while the rest of the photos will show on the smaller screen.

Video editing works similarly too. Another usage scenario is the ability of two apps to work at the same time. This is to say, you can watch movies on the main screen and at the same time tweet about it on the small screen.

All these scenarios are possible on a standard smartphone but will create a split-screen and you will be distracted as well.

Camera

On the back, the LG Wing has three rear cameras arranged vertically. There is a primary camera of 64 MP that is positioned in the middle and above it is a 12MP 120° ultrawide angle camera for shooting in swivel mode while the third camera is another ultrawide angle camera of 13MP sensor with a 117° FOV, for shooting in basic mode.

LG ensures that the main camera comes with exciting features and they include a simultaneous recording from both the rear and selfie camera. Users will also get gimbal mode that allows you to use the device just as you would use a phone mounted on a gimbal.

This mode will bring what you are recording on the main screen while the lower screen displays a virtual control akin to that on a gimbal with buttons such as an on-screen joystick for tilting and panning, a pan following mode, and also a lock mode.

Additionally is a six motion sensors that work with a stabilization software to keep your videos steady. The front camera is a 32MP pop-up selfie that features fall detection which causes the camera to retract when you drop it.
