LG's bizarre rotating dual-screen "Wing" smartphone is set to be unveiled on September 14, promising to bring to market a mid-range smartphone designed to make Microsoft's Surface Duo look crappy

An official video from LG teases the new phone with flashy renderings and confirms that it will be unveiled on September 14 While the video did not actually reveal the full aesthetics of the phone, it is consistent with the rotating screen design we have seen in previous leaks

Essentially, the LG Wing offers a strange T-shaped dual-screen system that looks like two smartphones stacked on top of each other, with one rotated 90 degrees The main display is thought to be 68 inches in size, with a secondary display of about 4 inches

While a foldable phone with a large display built in or a dual-screen device that folds like a paperback book seems practical, the LG Wing is quite left-handed for a dual-screen device

However, other videos of the LG Wing show how the rotating display can be used to create a sort of navigation and music control system that can be mounted above the dashboard of a car The main vertical screen would provide navigation information, while a horizontal secondary screen, or "wing," would provide a series of controls for music playback

Given that many modern cars have navigation systems and comprehensive music controls built into the infotainment system and dashboard, this setup may seem a bit redundant and cumbersome However, it at least gives us an idea of what applications the LG Wing might be used for

Also, if the phone is rotated in a crosshair-like orientation, the horizontal display could be used to watch video, while the secondary vertical screen could be used to send messages or perform other smartphone tasks lG Wing is a dual-screen phone and we will have to see what it can do with this unusual style of phone

The LG Wing is expected to be powered by a mid-range Snapdragon 765G, so it should be a bit more general in terms of specs, offering everyday-use performance and 5G connectivity without any issues It is also expected to have a 64MP primary camera [If released on September 14, the LG Wing will also be ahead of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 2 The Galaxy Fold appears to have fixed the shortcomings of the foldable phone and established the concept of a dual-screen foldable phone The LG Wing is While interesting, its design does not appear to be as practical as the Galaxy Z Fold 2, which will be available on September 18 However, the LG Wing may steal attention away from Samsung's flagship foldable phone

According to Android Central, the LG Wing is expected to cost $1,000 in the US, a hefty price for a phone with mid-range specs; the OnePlus 8 Pro costs $899 and has serious flagship specs In a way, this may mean that the LG Wing is dead-on-arrival, but we won't have to wait long to see how LG positions this strange dual-screen phone
