LG was one of the first to offer a dual screen smartphone experience with its V50 and V60[1] phones combined with the Dual Screen cover. The LG Velvet[2] is the most current phone offering two full large displays for enhanced productivity.
Last week, LG sent along a new take on a dual screen smartphone with the LG Wing 5G[3] and it is quite a departure from its Dual Screen cover devices, the Surface Duo[4], and the Galaxy Z Fold 2[5]. It is less expensive than most dual screen devices and may appeal to more people because it is also less bulky than these other designs.
The new LG Wing 5G has internals similar to the LG Velvet, but is clearly focused on offering a unique small secondary display to help enhance productivity. At first it looks and feels like a slightly thicker black slab, but with a simple push to the left on the lower right corner the main display flips up to reveal the T-shaped device in all of its glory.

The LG Wing is currently available for $999.99[7] on Verizon. LG announced it will also be coming to AT&T and T-Mobile this full, but hasn't yet revealed pricing or availability for these carriers. We have a Verizon LG Wing 5G in hand and will be figuring out which use cases are optimized for the swivel dual screen setup.
