LG Wing first look: swivel phone with dual screens perfect for multitasking and gaming
- Weird, but worth it – that’s our first impression of the LG Wing which, at a push, turns into a T-shaped dual-screen phone with multiple possible uses
- Its gimbal camera produces fluid videos, but footage shot in anything other than bright sunlight will be noisy; overall, LG deserves praise for being different

LG is no stranger to quirky-looking handsets – and its latest, Wing, is one of the South Korean electronics giant’s weirdest releases yet.
A push in a certain spot of the top layer screen will have it swivelling, locking into a T-shape. Now the second screen is visible on the lower part of the device, while the main screen sits sideways in landscape orientation. The swivel action is smooth and locks with a satisfying click. LG says it’s tested the mechanism more than 200,000 times without failure.
This design brings two new uses a traditional smartphone cannot offer: the ability to run two apps at the same time; or have one app run with additional information on display, such as watching a YouTube video on the large landscape screen while being able to read comments on the smaller screen; or play a game with one of the screens serving as on-screen digital gamepad.
