Offering new use cases, the LG Wing comes with a unique dual screen design that includes a swivel screen, which rotates clockwise in 90 degrees.

The LG Wing was originally announced in global markets last month and debuted in South Korea a few weeks ago. It comes under the company’s Explorer Project that is aimed to bring new usability concepts to the market. Alongside, LG also launched the LG Velvet Dual Screen smartphone in the country.
