We’ve been hearing rumors over the past few months related to a secret phone project at LG, codenamed “Wing.” The LG Wing appears to be a new take on dual-display phones by featuring a secondary display that flips out in a twisting motion.
Android Authority has obtained an exclusive video that shows a near-final version of the phone, making us think its release date can’t be too far away. The video gives us a better idea of how the phone will work while simultaneously giving us some hints of why the secondary display could be useful.
I’m so glad that device makers are getting a bit more adventurous again. We’re sure not at crazy Nokia level yet, but at least we’re slowly getting devices that aren’t boring slabs.
LG has been doing this for years, this is nothing special. They always try to come up with something that might look interesting to somebody — albeit not useful (or practical) for anyone.
The problem is that in order to achieve a competitive unit price, one has to sell millions of units. This device will be overpriced yet again as nobody expects it to sell very well. And therefore nobody will buy it.
Wing? Adventurous? You must mean:
