LG Wing Receives Launch Date and Price With Verizon | MakeUseOf

Say what you will about the LG Wing, but it sure is an innovative smartphone. Rather than sticking with the same design we see over and over, LG chose to throw convention out the window and release a smartphone with a pivoting screen.

Verizon has announced on Verizon.com that it will start selling the phone soon, so you won't have to wait too long to try out the exciting phone.

LG Wing Availability

Verizon will start taking preorders on the LG Wing in the US on October 1. From there, it'll ship on October 15, so anyone who jumps in and preorders the phone won't have to wait too long.

Outside of the release date, the price is probably the second most important piece of information. The phone will sell for $1,000 if purchased in one lump sum, or $41.66 per month for 24 months.

As is usually the case with new phones, Verizon is offering some special deals to incentivize buying the Wing on its network. If you switch to the carrier and purchase the phone, Verizon will throw you a $250 virtual gift card. Verizon is also offering trade-in incentives if you have an existing phone to get rid of.

As the phone is being sold through Verizon, you'll get access to the carrier's 5G Ultra Wideband network. You'll also get the lower-frequency standard 5G when it rolls out later in 2020.

LG Wing Specs

The LG Wing is definitely relying on the interesting design of the phone as its main selling point, as the specs are fairly modest. It comes with a Snapdragon 765G processor and 8GB of RAM. It's not terrible in terms of power, but the specs won't blow you away when compared to some other flagship devices.

The phone comes with 128GB of internal storage that is expandable if you need to add more later.

Again, the screens are the exciting part. There's a 6.8-inch OLED main display that rotates to show off a 3.9-inch secondary OLED screen.

The 12MP ultra-wide gimbal camera on the back of the phone is another intriguing and exciting part of the LG Wing. It's designed to make recording action shots smoother. There's also a 64MP main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, there's a 32MP selfie camera.
