LG WING Aurora Gray Android 10.0 Smartphone

Product Information

headphone jack, which only bears mentioning since LG has admirably managed to keep them around in recent flagships like the LG V60. In our time with the phone, it’s been able to handle the complex multi-screen features with only very occasional minor delays, most evident when switching apps. inches (HWD), it's roughly the same width and height as other large flagships, and thicker by about 0. There's also a 13-megapixel, 117-degree wide-angle camera on the back, and a 32-megapixel pop-up selfie camera on the front. This won't be a two-day phone for most people, especially if you're making liberal use of that secondary display with lots of media consumption.

It's a first-generation try, and so long as you figure out the right workflows, you can use both screens well. There's so much potential and flexibility offered by the extra screen real estate, but currently, it takes a bit of setup and finagling to use. The LG Wing 5G is a novelty in the phone world: a bold design to get more screen real-estate without folding the phone.There’s other ways to use the Wing 5G when it’s swiveled open, including its cameras, which have a unique ‘Gimbal Mode’ with simulated-gimbal controls on the small screen: a directional pad to pan around and a few different settings to selectively lock the camera in place. On the LG V60 with Dual Screen, you could use a multi-finger gesture to semi-reliably swap apps between screens, but there’s no such function on the LG Wing 5G (yet); that kind of fluid exchange is what’s really missing from the Wing. Much of the innovation of the Wing is undermined by the reality of using Android — LG's Android — on this form factor. Otherwise, the colors are pleasing, and display brightness is good enough even for use out in bright daylight. Just don't expect to swipe apps from one screen to another – or load up more than a few apps on the main screen.

I actually ended up multitasking on the Wing more than I did on the Surface Duo or the Galaxy Z Fold 2.When using other apps, a swipe-down gesture on the second screen loads up a tweaked quick settings menu, and from there it's possible to activate "grip lock," disabling the display and turning it into an oversized handle. There's no immediately obvious way to look at any other app on the main screen while it's horizontal. I can't say much about the camera quality yet, because the software clearly isn't done; for example, everything I shot with the rotated camera was very blue.

The main shooter goes toe-to-toe with some of the best Android cameras out there, with impressive dynamic range and color clarity, plus minimal noise even in darker conditions. He's most interested intechnology, gaming and culture – and where they overlap and change our lives. Compared to those phones, the LG Wing 5G gives up photo capabilities (like any optical zoom) for its extra screen real estate. The LG Wing has a main 64-megapixel camera on the back that defaults to taking 16-megapixel photos by combining every four small pixels into one brighter one. The LG Wing was announced on September 14 and its release date was on October 15 in the US, though it's unclear when it will come to other regions.In terms of white balance, the secondary screen on my retail Korean LG Wing appeared cooler than the main panel.

That's flanked by two ultrawide cameras — a "regular" ultrawide for photography, and a gimbal-mode ultrawide for use with LG's new video features. But the Wing has two screens, with different sizes and aspect ratios, that aren't next to each other and don't form a single rectangle together, and third-party developers don't plan for that. A new 'hexa motion sensor' stabilizes shots and allows digital approximation of following a subject and panning the screen.The LG may have been using a longer exposure because the sensor isn't as sensitive as the Samsung's.
