LG Wing 5G release date

The LG Wing will be rolling out in various markets by year's end, and, thankfully, the US is one of those. After all, the second-largest South-Korean phone maker would try to capitalize on the wings (pun intended) of the foldable and dual-screen phone craze, nestling the Wing somewhere along the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Microsoft Surface Duo. 

LG Wing 5G price

One grand is an adequate price tag for a modern high-end phone, but sounds low for a handset whose screen swivels, so maybe that's why LG made some compromises to hit that tag in the form of an upper midrange Snapdragon 765 processor, 1080p display, and the lack of a zoom camera.

LG Wing 5G specs


What are the key hardware specifications of the LG Wing? Naturally, you would expect the Wing to be a flagship phone given its novel design, but that's not entirely the case, as it misses on such high-end staples like a QHD+ display resolution, high refresh rate, or Snapdragon 865 processor. Something had to give to reach that tag, though, so here are all the official LG Wing specs:


LG Wing 5G design

As you can see, nothing groundbreaking in terms of specs, but still very solid hardware that is housed in that pretty impressive swiveling design of the LG Wing. The intriguing aspect of the LG Wing is not the fact that it has two screens, but how you access these. 

Unlike the LG G8X, which unfolds like a book when you put on the second-screen case, the Wing rotates 90 degrees to reveal its secondary screen in a distinct T-shape. Thus, it's probably not correct to call it a dual-screen device as one of the screens is much smaller and somewhat limited in terms of function. 

The main use of the secondary display is to offload certain key features from the main display. For example, it could be used to house the virtual keyboard, or show you relevant photos/videos editing options while you're scrolling through your gallery. You can chat during video, navigate games without covering the main screen with your finger, have the interface of apps like YouTube or Spotify on the second screen, and so on.

You could even casually read YouTube comments while watching a video in fullscreen, which is neat. Another use case becomes apparent when you get in your vehicle and put the phone in a stand - the secondary display doubles as media controls panel, while the main display shows general navigation data.

The hinge is made with durability in mind, and the display is tested to swivel 200,000 times with no issues, while a special material keeps the second display from scratching. When closed, the LG Wing is relatively thick, but when you count the top display and the 32MP pop-up selfie camera, its girth is actually rather bearable.

LG Wing 5G display sizes

The main display of the LG Wing is a rather spacious 6.8-inch one, while the smaller one being a 4-inch display with a nearly 1:1 aspect ratio.


Yet another use case might be get gamers' seal of approval. The secondary screen could be used as a minimap extension for your gaming experience, saving precious screen real estate for the action. Of course, app developers will have to update their apps and games to facilitate LG's new form factor concept.

LG Wing 5G camera

The LG Wing comes along with a triple-camera setup and a pop-up selfie shooter, with the following specs:

As you can see, no telephoto or periscope of any kind, but there is something called Gimbal Motion Camera with Hexa Motion Stabilizer that uses the main cameras and the phone's body as a gimbal handle for perfectly stabilized video blogging sessions, neat!
