Recently, we had reported on an upcoming LG Device with the “Wing” branding. It was for a dual screen flagship smartphone with a rather unique design. Now, the company has finally confirmed the device’s name as LG Wing, which will be launching soon.

According to a TheElec report, the South Korean tech giant has finalized the name as LG Wing earlier today (7th September 2020). Furthermore, the company will also be choosing about 300 consumers to review the product for free for up to four weeks. The device will be launching on 14th September 2020, which was what we had previously reported on as being a possible date for the launch.

Unfortunately, not a lot about the device is currently known. We will have to wait for the launch event to obtain finer details like specifications of the device, although, rumors have pointed at the smartphone arriving with a Snapdragon 700 series chip (likely the SD765G). The unique device is garnering a lot of anticipation due to its unique design and dual display mechanism.

Unlike LG’s own past offerings, this dual display has the display on a top swivel to a 90 degree angle, and also offer the utility of another display behind it. This is something which was seen a while ago during the time of flip phones where a few devices could have their screens rotate up to reveal a keypad. So stay tuned for more, which should arrive soon and we will be providing more updates.
