LG Wing, what a strange phone

Destroy · Sep 15, 2020, 07:25 PM

Does anyone want this?

Elysian · Sep 15, 2020, 09:23 PM

Why would anyone want this? I'd sooner own a Blackberry...

I guess they are going for a tablet in a phone size which is fine but to me it looks like just as much long distance finger work, which is annoyingly too much.

They need to put a scroll and full touch pad like functionality in the bottom screen to control the top screen IMO. Like a laptop in other words.

Took me a long time to figure out WTF I was looking at.

I like it. This is a phone I would buy if I actually used my phone for all of these things it advertises. Inexplicably, what isn't shown on LG's official Wing site is that you can actually type **** without your keyboard blocking half your screen.

Looks impossible to get a protective case on it without killing the Wing, but I can attest to the LG V20's durability as I've had it for three years without a case; no real damage after a number of hard drops (but nothing ridiculous).

It is also because of the V20 that I doubt the usefulness of the Wing because LG is horrible at supporting their own products. The 2nd screen on the V20 could be a lot more than it is, but it isn't.

Imagine dropping that thing and the whole wing breaks right off

Androidauthority seems to see some potential in it.

Funny thing is, looking at images of how they're using the second screen, I could see getting some use out of it too.

I'd probably break it in about 1 week though.

Apparently it's tested for some 200,000 swings but I could see some young people with ADHD going through that in less than a year

There should be some rule that you can't announce something unless it's 2 weeks out and your ready to start taking pre-orders.

Dude...you TURN THE SCREEN SIDEWAYS. How do you resist that?

Oh yeah.

I bought a Palm Pre when it was released...

Loved it.

I had the Blackberry Torch as a corporate phone... very similar to that in design. It was a hand-me-down from one of the high-maintenance engineers that quit. It was pretty great. I miss tactile keyboards.

The lack of headphone jack bothers me with the Wing. I'm willing to eschew my user-replaceable battery standard for a modern phone but I don't think I'm ready to ditch the ability to plug in my very nice earbuds without a dongle that will get lost.
