Expert Review

By Dickens, Charles

Design

The LG Wing features a mechanical hinge mechanism allowing the main display to swivel smoothly 90 degrees into a T-shape, carrying a noticeable 260g weight footprint.

Display

It pairs a crisp 6.8-inch rotating P-OLED primary panel with a concealed 3.9-inch G-OLED square secondary display underneath for split-app workflows.

Performance

Driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chip paired with 8GB RAM, delivering dependable execution for standard tasks and casual gaming.

Gaming

Adreno 620 graphics manage standard titles efficiently, though secondary screen controls can be mapped for compatible applications.

Camera

Equipped with a 64MP main OIS camera and dual ultra-wide sensors, featuring a unique 'Gimbal Mode' that uses the second screen as a stabilizer grip handle.

Battery

The 4000 mAh cell provides fair day-to-day longevity, though active use of both screens accelerates battery consumption.

Software

Shipped originally with Android 10 and received upgrades up to Android 13 before software support concluded.

Ai

Basic on-device intelligence handles scene optimization and smart multi-window app launching pairs.

Connectivity

Features 5G sub-6 and mmWave support, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and a USB-C 3.1 port supporting DisplayPort video out.

Pros

  • Pioneering swiveling T-shape dual-screen display mechanism
  • Unique gimbal motion video stabilization mode
  • Motorized pop-up selfie camera
  • MIL-STD-810G ruggedness compliance
  • Expandable storage via microSDXC

Cons

  • Heavy weight profile (260g)
  • Mid-range Snapdragon 765G chip for a flagship price tier
  • Mono loudspeaker output
  • LG has exited the smartphone manufacturing market
The LG Wing 5G breaks conventional smartphone form factors with its unique swivel mechanism, allowing the 6.8-inch main display to rotate 90 degrees. Powered by the Snapdragon 765G 5G processor, it includes a 3.9-inch secondary screen, a versatile triple-camera array featuring specialized gimbal motion features, and a motorized pop-up selfie camera.

Verdict

The LG Wing 5G remains an unforgettable milestone in smartphone design ingenuity, offering unmatched multi-screen creativity.

Final: 4.0/10 Best for: General users Segment: Premium
