The LG Wing is an upcoming dual-screen smartphone from the South Korean manufacturer, which first appeared online in May this year. Unlike other dual-screen devices today, the LG wing has a rotating 6.8-inch main display that can be rotated to hide a second 4-inch display underneath. While LG has not yet released any information about the device, a video showing the LG Wing in action has now appeared online.
The people over at Android Authority have managed to get exclusive footage of the LG Wing into action, giving us our first look at the crazy dual-screen smartphone. As you can see in the attached video, the LG Wing can be used in the portrait orientation with the second display open on the side to see additional information. In this case, the main display on the device is used to display navigation info, while the second display shows the music player and an incoming call.
Accepting the call replaces the music player UI by the UI of the phone on the second display, without interfering with the navigation UI on the first display. This is one of the many ways the second display on the LG Wing can come in handy. The leaked image we saw earlier shows another use, in which the second display is used in the portrait orientation and it shows the keyboard, while the first display is in the horizontal orientation. Thanks to this unique approach, the LG Wing does not have a recess or a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera.
While the video does not show the rotating mechanism in action, we think it may work like the mechanism on the LG V9000. The video also does not reveal any information about the device’s hardware, but previous leaks suggest that it’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series processor with 5G capabilities. The device is also expected with a triple camera setup on the back, with a 64MP primary sensor. LG is planning to announce the smartphone in the coming months and it will have a price tag close to 1 million Won (~ $ 842).
This thing looks crazy.

In fact, I’ve seen evidence of it coming to Verizon in the US 😉

It is also noteworthy that an LG smartphone with the model number LM-F100N has appeared on Geekbench several times. Inspecting the raw output we can see that the build fingerprint of the device running these benchmarks is winglm userdebug 10 QKQ1.200719.002 2023400067779 test keys. In addition, our editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman has seen evidence that the phone is coming to Verizon in the US, assuming the phone’s code name is “winglm”.
