LG ‘Wing’ smartphone leaks in hands-on video GL-NEWS

Just a few months in the past, a report from Korea claimed that LG was engaged on a unique smartphone with a brand new tackle dual-displays. Now, the LG “Wing” cellphone has leaked in a video.

The oldsters over at Android Authority managed to get their palms on a short video showcasing this wacky upcoming smartphone that tells us rather a lot in regards to the system.

As seen within the video under, this LG smartphone identified by its codename “Wing” is mounted on a automotive dashboard on its facet. That leaves the first, rumored 6.8-inch show sitting vertically with the smaller, rumored 4-inch show off to its facet. This in all probability isn’t the way in which most individuals would use this system, but it surely’s a fairly compelling use case. On the bigger show, we will see a navigation app operating and, on the second, a music management “widget” with a notification about an incoming name above. When that decision is accepted, it takes over that second show with out ever minimizing or interfering with the mapping app.

It’s a disgrace we will’t see the show rotating out, however this take a look at the design makes it fairly clear how the show “pops” out. As AA explains, it “twists” out. Clearly, it’s principally an identical to the LG VX9400 from the mid-2000s, a cellphone you seemingly don’t know by title, however will acknowledge from its appearance back in the first Iron Man movie from 2008. This was anticipated again when the primary stories got here out, but it surely’s fairly apparent at this level that’s the place the inspiration got here from.

Apparently, it is a “near-final” model of the system, too. It’s talked about that it’ll use a Snapdragon 765 sequence processor, however no specs have been confirmed by the tipster who supplied the video. If that is almost last, it additionally means a launch date isn’t too far off.
