LG may not be a force to reckon with in the smartphone industry but the Korean tech giant sure knows how to manufacture some pretty good phones like the latest LG Velvet. Reports from South Korea says LG has got yet another smartphone in the works.

The phone which the Korean blog ETNews says is codenamed “Wing” is said to have the main display which can swivel sideways to reveal a secondary screen underneath. The main display is a 6.8-inch display while the secondary screen will be a smaller 4-inch screen with a 1:1 aspect ratio. It’s expected to cost a bit more than the new Velvet phone when it arrives later this year.

According to ETNews, the LG Wing dual-screen phone will utilise its second screen for multitasking. For instance, the primary display can be used to view a photo while leaving the second screen open to access editing controls. That sounds a little different from LG’s current dual-screen devices like the G8X and V60 with their secondary screens designed mainly to run two different apps at once.

In addition, the phone is said to feature a Snapdragon 7-series processor with support for 5G jus like the Velvel. It will also sport a triple-rear camera array with a 64-megapixel main sensor.

LG is reportedly planning to release the phone in the second half of this year. The price will reportedly be in the region of 1 million won (around $817).
