LG WING Aurora Gray Android 10.0 Smartphone

Product Information

And while 3.9 inches for the mini-screen seems tiny by today’s standards, it’s only a little smaller in area than the 4-inch display in the iPhone 5 / original iPhone SE. It’s perfectly suitable for texting and light browsing, but more on that below. Switch to swivel mode, though, and the 6.8-inch OLED main screen swivels out sideways, and up to a horizontal orientation at the top of the phone, exposing the smaller 3.9-inch OLED mini display underneath. The Wing runs Android 10, which is a year old at this point. It will get an upgrade to Android 11, but LG is notoriously slow to provide OS updates, so you’ll have to wait for your carrier to push it. Upgrades beyond Android 11 are unlikely. The top screen shows a carousel of dual-screen-compatible apps. The LG Wing 5G is indeed 5G capable, both in sub-6 and mmWave for US versions sold through Verizon. The bottom screen often turns into a keyboard, and it can be a little narrow. I wasn't tremendously accurate typing on it, but I think I just need a little more practice.

The second 12MP 120-degree FoV f/2.2 ultra-wide camera is specifically used for a video mode that uses the swivel functionality. Once you've flipped up the main screen, you can use Gimbal Mode to simulate shooting with a gimbal device, using controls on the mini display to move the camera. While there feels like a lot of image stabilization at play, this feels like the footage is cropped from a larger picture captured by the ultra-wide lens. The camera software isn't entirely ready, clearly. As mentioned, everything shot with the rotated camera turned out super blue. Fix a few things, though, and this camera brings a professional-filmmaking feel that I haven't seen in the default camera app on any other phone. Price and Availability While the Wing in its current form may be a non-starter, I'm still glad LG is trying unique ideas like this. And I'm hoping that the recent rumors suggesting the demise of the LG Rollable are unfounded, as this phone seems likely to be a much more compelling overall product. (Though possibly quite a bit more expensive, too.) That mini-display works just like a full-size one: you can use apps on it (though in a slightly more cramped interface), use it for secondary controls as in the camera app, or dedicate the whole space to a keyboard. LG QNED with Quantum Dot NanoCell technology offers stunning, precise colours and unmatched LCD TV performance. Enjoy a vibrant display with lifelike tones and an extended colour spectrum. With LG webOS, access popular apps like Freeview Play, NOW TV, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Twitch, and more. Control your TV and smart home devices effortlessly using voice commands and Alexa integration.There are countless fun possibilities here, like having a Google Meet call going on the secondary panel while playing a game on the main screen. LG has even worked with app partners like Gameloft to bring extra functionality to Asphalt 9 when played on the Wing, like a map view while racing. It's been four months since the LG Wing first launched, and in recent months there has been plenty of speculation around the future of LG's mobile division. Recent reports even cast doubt on the future of the promising LG Rollable. As for the Wing itself, the core experience remains much the same as at launch, with the device still running firmware based on Android 10. LG's update roadmap suggests an update to Android 11 might not arrive before the middle of the year, just a few short months before Android 12 is finalized. Open out the LG Wing when the camera app is open, and you'll enter Gimbal mode. This isn't a mechanical gimbal-like Vivo's Apex 2020 handset, but an electronic gimbal built upon the second ultrawide camera. The idea is you can comfortably hold the camera in your hand and pan around using controls on the secondary display.

The aforementioned Rolodex home screen when using the Wing in a T-shaped configuration also seems like a waste of space, letting you see fewer apps for no good reason. And, infuriatingly, apps need to be manually whitelisted to be able to show on the secondary display. If an app isn't whitelisted, it won't show up on the second screen's app drawer, and you'll need to dig deep into the settings and do a lot of scrolling to manually tag it. As you might have guessed, rotating the screen to the top of the phone does shift the weight to the top half of the device – not enough to make it ungainly, but you'll be more comfortable keeping it in two hands.The ultrawide shooter also holds up well next to the competition, with minimal distortion around the edges of the frame, and competent indoor and low-light performance. Once again, you'll notice some artificial sharpening in certain situations, but it's not a huge deal.
