The LG Wing is a unique smartphone that was released in 2020, known for its distinctive design featuring a swiveling display. It was first released in South Korea, and was the first device in LG’s newly announced Explorer Project series. It is also the last smartphone that LG produced, making this update a significant milestone for the Wing phone. The device boasts a 6.8-inch P-OLED primary screen that can rotate 90 degrees, revealing a smaller 3.9-inch secondary screen underneath. The LG Wing is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset and comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It also features a triple-camera setup, including a 64-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide gimbal motion camera. Unfortunately, the phone went out of production shortly after launch. Maybe the design was ahead of its time, or the company ran into production issues. Nonetheless, it was sad to see the device leave the market so soon. However, LG has announced that it will push Android 13 to the LG Wing in what seems like one last update.

IT Home reported that the Korean market has already started receiving the update, and North American and European markets are expected to follow suit in the coming months. After the update, the firmware version of the LG Wing will be upgraded to F100N40a, and the March 2023 Android security update will be integrated.

The patch package is around 1.4GB, and the update includes several new features, such as display device control shortcut icons on the lock screen, previewing, sharing and editing copied text and images, simplified multi-window functionality, and fine-grained control of notification permissions for each application. Additionally, users will now be able to check and stop the currently active application in the status notification window, and enjoy improved music and video controls.
