LG has finally announced the price of the rotating-screen smartphone, the LG Wing. The device was launched a week ago and it is now priced at 1,098,990 won. As per the reports, the LG Wing will hit the shelves of South Korea next month followed by other markets.
A report(via Korean Herald) from South Korea says the device is priced at around $940(~Rs.69,115). This is really surprising considering its a first-generation product with a rotating-screen. The report adds that the company will hold a promotion for the entirety of October. Accordingly, users have the chance to grab a 70% discount coupon for screen replacement within two years of purchase. However, it seems there will be no pre-orders for the device.
LG Wing is a baby born out of LG’s Explorer project. It changes the way we look at dual-screen smartphones. Right from the first leaked video, the device has turned a lot of heads towards it. As per the concept, the display on LG Wing has two displays. The outer one is a rotating screen held in place by a swivel and rotating clockwise horizontally by 90-degrees. The secondary screen is fixed and hidden inside otherwise. Additionally, the company has used dual-spring, dual-lock, and hydraulic dampers for better durability.
