Behold LG's "Wing" smartphone
by Rob Beschizza from on (#584P0)
The LG Wing has two layers:the top slides to form a "T" shape with the bottom, revealing a smaller touchscreen display on the rear layer. It's absolutely ridiculous and I'm delighted it exists.
"It's a very tricky design to evaluate without using it - it is reminiscent of some of the designs we saw from Japan back in the late 2000s," Ben Wood from the consultancy CCS Insight said, noting it was unlike any of the folding-screen designs that several of LG's rivals have recently focused on."You have to applaud LG for experimenting. Ultimately it will be up to consumers to decide whether its an approach that works."The 5G device also has three cameras on the back and a fourth pop-up lens.
No pricing yet, but it is coming the U.S.
