LG Wing Review
Wing, LG’s Latest Flagship, Takes A Special Look At Multitasking, Sacrificing Powerful Hardware For Creative Design.
While smartphones have become one of the main tools for everyday tasks, many companies have focused on designing devices that prioritize multitasking. Introducing the LG Wing smartphone, LG has shown that in the midst of its plans to say goodbye to the mobile market, it is taking a hard look at multitasking and trying to base its creative design on improving the multitasking system.
The LG Wing carries the heavy title of “LG’s latest flagship” in the mobile market, and the first thing that sets it apart from other phones on the market is its innovative and strange design, which we have never seen in similar mobile phones; The display rotates on a hinge, and after the small display is embedded below it, it calms down horizontally at the top of the device.
What are LG’s achievements with Wing’s unique design? Can the LG Wing do its job well as a flagship phone with a focus on multitasking? To find out the answers to these and other similar questions, check out LG Wing with Zomit.
Design and build quality of LG Wing
Perhaps the first thing you notice when holding the LG Wing is its heavyweight and large body dimensions. The LG Wing weighs 260 grams and has a body (normally not rotating the main display) measuring 10.9 x 74.5 x 169.5 mm; So, there are few phones on the market that are heavier and bigger than the LG Wing. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold 3, by all means, is only 11 grams heavier than the LG Wing, and when folded, it is shorter in length and width than the LG flagship.
Working with the LG Wing poses a serious challenge, even for large groups. When using both LG Wing displays, you must use both hands to work with the phone when you rotate the main display; Because otherwise, it will be challenging to access the main screen. On the other hand, moving the phone too much will upset the balance and cause the device to fall. Even so, owning one is still beyond the average person’s reach, and the LG Wing is not accessible.
The LG Wing P-OLED rotating display with curved edges and large dimensions of 6.8 inches is displayed on the front panel. The edges of the screen on the sides are narrower than the top and bottom edges, bringing the screen-to-body ratio to about 87%. LG has equipped it with a Gorilla Glass 5 cover and a fingerprint sensor under the same screen to protect the main screen. The fingerprint sensor performs well and unlocks the screen easily. However, if you turn the screen, you will probably need an alternative method; Because the fingerprint sensor is not very accessible.
The LG Wing G-OLED secondary display is located below the main panel, which is displayed by rotating the main display and has dimensions of 3.9 inches. The edges of the secondary display are also not narrow at all, which is more prominent due to the screen’s small size.
But we come to the most interesting part of the LG Wing design, the rotating panel. The panel is rotated clockwise, and the hinge around which the main display rotates horizontally is connected to the body by three anchors. Rotating the display conveys an interesting mechanical feel and sound, yet it is easy to do. Depending on what force you push the panel upwards, the device’s rotation will first slow down and then gradually slow down until the main screen calms down horizontally and at the top of the secondary screen.
The whole rotation process of the wing display is guided by two springs. To perform the last part of the rotation, a hydraulic damper (motion regulator) is installed to guide the final moments of the movement smoothly. The spheres have used two clamps to ensure that the main display locks in place properly after rotation and does not move.
In general, although we consider the process of rotation of the main screen and its position in the horizontal position to be appropriate, the use of the LG Wing with two screens is not as flawless as it should be. As a first point, after rotating the screen, the balance of the device is disturbed, and the weight of the device rises upwards (i.e. where the main screen is located); As far as we could feel, the phone was falling.
You can rotate the main screen to play games and then hold the phone upside down and play. We did not feel comfortable in such an application, and due to the skinny thickness of the panel compared to the body of the phone, we did not expect the panel to break in the game. Another problem is the accumulation of dust and fine particles in the LG Wing hinge, which can be really annoying after a while; Of course, all hinged phones have this problem.
The space between the LG Wing rotating display and the main body is relatively large; So that thin objects such as paper or even nails can easily enter this space. On the other hand, with a little pressure, the panel can move up a few millimetres; Therefore, if you are not careful and an object accidentally enters the distance between the main display and the body, if pressure is applied, it can cause serious damage to the main display panel or the secondary display.
LG says it has tested the Wing hinge in 200,000 tests to ensure its durability. The spheres claim to use polyoxymethylene to prevent scratches on the secondary display when the main display rotates.
Leaving the front panel of the phone, we come to the design of the back panel of the LG Wing. At first glance, you can see the device’s triple camera module, which is located in a vertical rectangle in the left corner of the panel. Like many other phones on the market, the camera module protrudes and causes the phone to slip if placed on the surface; Of course, not as much as other flagships!
The back panel is made of Gorilla Glass 5, just like the screen cover. The LG Wing is available in sky blue and grey, both of which are glossy. For review, we had the grey Wing model, which, due to the glass coating, showed more fingerprints and grease and was so transparent that the author used it several times as a mirror at the time of writing.
The Koreans have been faithful to the trend of flagship phones in frame design and have designed the LG Wing with a matte aluminium frame. In fact, the frame is split between the fixed part of the body and the movable display of the wing, and due to the narrowness of the rotating panel, a small thickness of the frame surrounds the main display.
The power and volume keys are to the right of the frame, and the left is the SIM card slot. The SIM card slot can accept two SIM cards or one SIM card and a memory card slot simultaneously. While working with the LG Wing, we noticed that access to the volume and power keys is easy by turning the screen. The top edge has a pop-up selfie camera frame and a microphone aperture, and the bottom edge features a USB 3.1 Type-C port, speaker port, and main microphone aperture. The LG Wing does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack, But LG comes with a USB-C converter to a 3.5mm jack.
The LG Wing is sleek and stylish, and we appreciate the build quality. However, design flaws may manifest themselves over time after purchasing the phone and can cause inconvenience to the user. With the IP54 certification, the LG Wing will also be resistant to water droplets on paper.
LG Wing display and speaker
Both LG Wing displays are OLED. The device’s 6.8-inch main display has a resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels and offers a pixel density of 395 pixels per inch. A noteworthy thing about the main screen is the highly sized 21: 9 aspect ratio, which makes the movie viewing experience more enjoyable. On the other hand, Wing’s full-screen display gives you an immersive learning experience thanks to the pop-up selfie camera. The Wing secondary display is smaller, measuring 3.9 inches at 1240 x 1080 pixels. Unfortunately, there is no update rate above 60 Hz, and if you buy a phone, you should be satisfied with the 60 Hz update rate.
The LG Wing performs well in high light and low light conditions in the display brightness tests with a maximum and minimum brightness of 792 and 4.02 nits. The numbers obtained are not at the level of competitors with OLED panels; But to work in the sun and in the dark at night, you can count on the LG Wing. When working with the LG Wing secondary display, you will be able to select the option to match the brightness with the main display or manually and arbitrarily adjust the brightness of the secondary display.
There are three colour profiles in the LG Wing main display settings menu: Natural, Vivid, and Cinema. The Natural profile supports sRGB colour space, and the other two profiles support DCI P3 colour space. LG has also provided a Custom profile for users who like to change the colour profile to their liking. You can change parameters such as colour temperature, each RGB colour level, saturation, Hue and Sharpness options…
According to our experiments, LGWing produces the most accurate colours with Cinema profile; But the error of all three colour profiles is greater than that of competitors. Cinema profile colours are close to neutral, But Natural and Vivid profiles tend to be relatively cool.

* It has obtained all the results in the table above with a special tool.
LG has provided only two colour profiles for the second display, including Custom and Main Screen Match modes. According to our reviews, in line with the main display, the secondary display covers the DCI P3 colour space in all three LG Wing colour profiles. In this display, too, the colours tend to be cold; But overall, in different profiles, the colour display error was lower than in the main display; Of course, in terms of brightness, the secondary display works moderately, and you should not expect too much from it.
If you are one of those users who listen to music or podcasts and audiobooks without using headphones and through the speaker, you will be relatively satisfied with the volume of the LG Wing speaker. Because the sound resolution of the instruments is not very good, the speaker’s sound quality is more appropriate in styles such as pop than metal and rock music.
LG Wing software and user interface
Unfortunately, there is no Android 11 on the LG Wing, and this flagship phone, like all of its family members, the LG V60 and the LG Volt, runs Android 10 with a dedicated LG UX skin, which is similar to Samsung’s One UI user interface. In addition to Google apps and LG proprietary apps, several games are installed on the Wing by default, along with the Booking.com app. The user interface of the LG UX is not much different from what we experienced earlier in the LG Volt. Only a few features have been added to take advantage of the device’s unique form factor.
When you rotate the main screen, the LG Wing enters a mode called Swivel, in which some of the optimized applications such as YouTube, browser, gallery, camera and game launcher appear as a rotating menu on the main screen. Swipe up on the main screen to access your apps list and add a shortcut to the swivel menu in Swivel Mode if you wish.
By default, the LG Wing UI only adds compatible apps to the secondary display apps menu; But you can add even incompatible apps to this menu. Spheres also allow you to select the desired pairs to run simultaneously on the main screen and the secondary screen in Swivel mode.
The best functionality for LG’s unique form factor is to place the keyboard on the secondary display and display the text on the main display. Unfortunately, this can only experience with LG’s default keyboard, and other keyboards appear on the main screen, even in normal Swivel mode, like regular smartphones.
Several apps, including LG’s own default examples, feature Wing dual display. The camera app is the most important thing that can take advantage of all the capabilities of Swivel mode, and LG also manoeuvred around it a lot. In Swivel mode, this application gives you Gimbal video recording and dual video recording capabilities. In the camera section, we will talk more about Gimbal mode.
The Gallery app places control options on the LG Wing secondary display when playing video or displaying photos. In edit mode, it offers all the control features on this display so that the final result is simultaneously displayed on the main screen while changing the image. See.
Swivel mode’s unique features include video playback on the main display and placement of control keys on the secondary display. You can watch the video in full screen on the main screen without disturbing the video control keys and the progress bar.
On the other hand, playing with the LG Wing can also be an interesting experience. Asphalt 9 is one of the few games that are compatible with the specific form factor of the Wing phone. This game shows a map of the path you are moving on the secondary screen while running.
Another feature of the LG Wing display that we found interesting and useful was converting the secondary display to a mouse trackpad, a good variation in the daily user experience. The LG Trackpad also supports common gestures on desktop systems to provide a familiar experience for users.
The LG Wing user interface suffers from some problems overall. For example, although the LG Wing battery is not removable, But from time to time, we received a notice announcing the removal of the battery. The user interface is not very smooth, and especially when using both monitors, it makes the user experience difficult. On the other hand, it is impossible to drag and drop content from one screen to another.
LG Wing performance and battery
Although it perhaps expected that LG would equip its latest flagship with a powerful chip; But in practice, this did not happen, and the Korean company decided to launch the Wing with a Snapdragon 765G intermediate chip with support for 5G connectivity; Of course, the Snapdragon 765G is a good improvement compared to the old Snapdragon 845 chip that we saw in the LG Velvet models available in the Iranian market.
The Snapdragon 765G uses eight processor cores, including a 2.4 GHz Kryo 475 Prime core, a 2.2 GHz Kryo 475 Gold core, and six 1.8 GHz Kryo 475 Silver cores as the CPU. In this arrangement, the first two cores are the custom version of the Cortex-A76 logo, and the other six cores are the Cortex-A55 cores.
The Snapdragon 765G is equipped with a Snapdragon X52 modem that, on paper, can provide a 5G connection of Sub-6GHz and mmWave with a maximum download speed of 3700 Mbps and a maximum upload speed of 1600 Mbps. The LG Wing performs its graphics processing using the Adreno 620 graphics processor.
LG Wing in two versions, 8 | 128 and 8 | 256GB with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.1 memory. LG has launched the 128GB model for the global market and the 256GB model for North America. For review, we had a 128GB model with 95GB of available memory. Like most phones on the market, you can upgrade your LG Wing storage memory using a microSDXC memory card; Of course, to achieve such a goal, you must restrict the use of a second SIM card.

Given the results of the benchmarks and, as we expected, LG Wing’s UFS 2.1 memory performs disappointingly well compared to its peers. For comparison, the sequential read rate of the Samsung Galaxy S21 is almost twice that of the LG Wing, and the sequential read rate is three times that of the LG Wing.

Unfortunately, the poor performance of LG Wing hardware is not limited to its memory. In CPU-related processing, graphics, and web browsing, it does not provide the desired performance for the cost you pay for the phone. However, the LG Wing can not be considered a strong phone in terms of hardware, and other positive features such as using the second display and multitasking capabilities should consider.

The battery capacity of the LG Wing is 4,000 mAh, and it supports 13 watts of wireless charging. The LG Wing battery can be charged from zero to 100% in one hour and 40 minutes, and according to our tests, it can play about 20 hours of video, which is an acceptable performance compared to its competitors.
For normal use such as web browsing, text writing or photo editing, the LG Wing battery is responsible for about 10 hours of continuous use; So if you use the phone for 5 hours a day to do these things, you will not need to recharge the battery for two days. By comparison, the Xiaomi Mi 11i offers the same battery life in everyday applications with a 120Hz refresh rate.
LG Wing Camera
The LG Wing camera has a relatively unique layout. Instead of using the usual combination of other flagships on the market, it is equipped with a triple-width + ultraviolet + ultraviolet module. There is no macro camera and, more importantly, a telephoto camera. The LG Wing main widescreen camera uses a 64-megapixel sensor; While the two ultraviolet cameras have 13 and 12-megapixel sensors. The LG Wing Pop-up Selfie Camera uses a 32-megapixel sensor with an f / 1.9 aperture to record Full HD video at 30 frames per second.
The LG Wing uses a wide-angle 1 / 1.72-inch S5KGW2 64-megapixel sensor with 0.8-micrometre pixels along with an f / 1.8 wide-angle lens, optical image stabilization and phase-detection autofocus. We’ve already experienced the performance of the S5KGW2 sensor in the Samsung Galaxy S20 zoom camera. This sensor with Tetracell colour filter uses all 4 adjacent pixels with the same colour, resulting in images with large pixels of 1.6 micrometres and dimensions of 16 megapixels…
One of LG Wing’s ultraviolet cameras uses a 13-megapixel sensor with 1.0-micrometre pixels, and its f / 1.9 aperture lens provides a field of view of 117 degrees. The LG Wing, like other smartphones, uses this camera to capture super-wide photos.
LG Wing’s second and more special ultraviolet camera is used in Gimbal mode, and LG calls it the Gimbal Motion Camera. The camera’s sensor has a resolution of 12 megapixels, and its pixel dimensions are 1.4 micrometres. The motion gimbal camera uses an ultra-wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field of view and an aperture of f / 2.2. The Koreans say they have provided a 6-axis shake system for the Wing Gimbal camera.
To use the LG Wing gimbal mode, you must swivel the main display to put the device in Swivel mode so that all camera controls can be transferred to the secondary display and photography or video recording can do via a 12-megapixel ultraviolet camera. In gimbal mode, the widescreen image of the main camera is cropped so that only part of it is displayed on the main screen, and different areas of the image can be accessed using the gimbal mode joystick. In Gimbal mode, it is no longer possible to shoot with other Wing rear cameras.
Although LG manoeuvred a lot on the LG Wing’s motion gaming camera, this mode is practically not applicable for photography. It is only used in video recording to access different parts of the wide image accurately. LG says the image stabilizer and image lock button on Gimbal Mod contribute to video quality.
In gimbal mode, you can take photos and videos with a 120-degree field of view or time-lapse video recording or dual recording. Dual Recording allows you to simultaneously film the subject and film the user himself (with a selfie camera) as a picture in picture or two pictures together.
Dynamic range and details of LG Wing photos
Main camera
As you can see in the photos, the LG Wing’s main camera does not perform very well in bright light conditions, and despite enabling HDR in high light conditions, it cannot reconstruct the details of the photos well. This makes the details of the textures less clear in the brighter areas of the image.

Ultraviolet camera
The LG Wing Ultraviolet Camera also has no special advantages over the main camera in dynamic range. It can not display the details of the textures and the separation of light and shadow points well. Aside from that, the overall detail of the image is a few notches below the main camera.

Despite the not-so-good performance of the wide-angle camera in retrieving details from very bright areas of the image, double-magnification shooting with the same camera provides better dynamic range and more detailed resolution.

Colour of LG Wing photos
The LG Wing’s wide-angle camera captures colours close to real, but the Ultraviolet tends to saturate and warm the colours. Unfortunately, because the gimbal camera does not support HDR, the colours are not recorded well; but the photos’ details are also lost in bright areas. Gimbal camera photos are less detailed than regular ultraviolet cameras.

LG Wing camera performance in the dark
As we expected, shooting in low light conditions with photo mode does not lead to a good result, and the details are lost in the bright spots of the image. While enabling Night Mode will help alleviate this problem, the result in the main camera photos is not satisfactory. It may even lead to a slight deterioration of the details due to the removal of noise software.
Enabling night mode on the ultraviolet camera makes things a little better; Of course, the problem of losing the details of the bright areas of the image is still evident.

Summarize and compare LG Wing with competitors
The wing is the big end for LG to end its operations in the smartphone market. Creative design and a new look at the dual-display category can make the Wing a good choice for those who care about the design, build quality and beauty of the phone and are willing to pay a significant price for it. Still, the Koreans have not been able to use the design potential for the user interface and provide users with usability.
