The LG Wing is a dual-screen smartphone with a swivelling 6.8in POLED display

LG is twisting our melons with its new Wing smartphone. The fantastically weird handset features a swivelling 6.8in POLED display that can be spun horizontally to add more screen real estate in a snap. LG claims the Wing will “redefine multi-viewing and multitasking” by giving owners more ways to watch their favourite media and changing how they interact with apps and games. Hidden underneath that swirling top screen is a second 3.9in GOLED display that ushers in a swathe of intuitive control options, incluidng new Gimbal Motion Camera and Dual Recording modes. Take a glance at the rest of the spec sheet and you’ll find a 64MP triple-camera, 32MP pop-up selfie camera, 8GB RAM, Snapdragon 765G processor, and a 4,000mAh battery. Oh, and if you’re concerned about whether spinning your screen like a miniature Wheel of Fortune will affect the integrity of the handset, you’ll be pleased to hear LG has subjected the Wing to a whopping 200,000 durability tests to ensure it’ll survive for the long haul.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
