Dual-screen LG Wing receives award in latest leak

We're intrigued by what we've seen of the LG Wing so far - an innovative-looking smartphone with a flip-up second screen - and now we have some more pricing details, thanks to sources close to LG. According to XDA Developers, people with connections at LG say the phone will sell for around $1,000 (around $750 / AU$1,355) in the US, putting it alongside several current flagship phones. in terms of price. , but it is more affordable than we expected. That's still a lot of money to spend on a smartphone, but maybe not quite as outrageous considering it has two screens instead of one. The foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, for example, is expected to cost almost double that €1,000 figure. Previous rumors had estimated the price of the LG Wing to be around 1,900,000 Korean won, or roughly €1,610, so it's reassuring to know that the next phone might not cost that much outside of your home market after all. . Of course, manufacturers don't often use direct currency conversions, with local variations in markets and taxes. It might be easier to say that the LG Wing would cost the same as a 11-inch, 5.8GB iPhone 64 Pro. We haven't heard much about the phone so far, but the phone apparently packs a 6.8-inch display and a 4-inch display. Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G is said to be the mid-range processor chip that does it all. Why do you need two screens, we can hear you ask? Well, one use case we saw in a leaked video (embedded above) is having music player controls available while also using turn-by-turn navigation on the main screen. LG has been experimenting with multiple displays for years, and the LG Velvet 2020 comes with a dual-screen casing that gives you double the screen real estate. Microsoft Surface Duo is another dual-screen phone to be released this year.
