LG is currently WINGING it! LG introduced the LG Wing 5G as a creative attempt to the new foldable phones concept. LG introduced a swiveling screen, where one screen faces vertically and the other horizontally. 

Swiveling screens aren't exactly new technology as it appeared in phones back in the 2000s. However, LG reimagined what one could do with a secondary screen.

According to LG, the main screen is a POLED display measuring 6.8in and a ratio of 21:9. The secondary vertical screen is a GOLED measuring 3.9in.

The LG Wing came from the LG Explorers project, with the goal of a fresh new design of smartphones, as opposed to the bland slab of glass and ceramic we know today. 

Aside from the screen, LG added a lot of features, especially for the camera. One of these features is the Gimbal Motion Camera which is enabled in the video settings, it works similar to a real gimbal. Another feature is Dual Recording, where now you can take a video of yourself while also taking a video of something in front of you, using the main camera. The second screen works as the controls.

While the phone is only rated IP54 splash proof, the phone comes with water-repellent coating and dust protection for the hinges.

One feature of the second screen is using the main bigger screen as the GPS, and notifications on the other. Other uses include: watching full-screen YouTube videos while looking at the comments at the same time or edit videos after taking them on the secondary screen.

Because of the 21:9 ratio and the POLED display, viewing is immersive.

The phone also comes with a in-display fingerprint scanner
