Take Flight to New Spaces. LG WING
LG's position in the current smartphone market has narrowed considerably. About seven to eight years ago, LG was a company that stood shoulder to shoulder with Apple and Samsung, but due to technical problems, it gradually retreated. As it was once a leading company in the smartphone market, it is adding to the disappointment of many users. I also used LG's device, so the sadness is even greater. LG has incorporated innovative new technologies through the upcoming "Wing" and is hoping to make a comeback. I also think that this product is a very good performance device. In this post, we will introduce LG's new product, "Wing," and see if this will allow LG to make a comeback.
A horizontal smartphone
LG Wing, which will be introduced this time, is the successor to VELVET, which was released by LG in the first half of 2020, and is LG Electronics' Android smartphone. It is also included in LG Electronics' artificial intelligence brand ThinQ series. To start with the overall design, Samsung Galaxy series and Chinese smartphone makers such as Xiaomi and Huawei are showing similar front displays. The most interesting thing is that it is just a normal smartphone if you look at the front, but if you push the screen slightly, two displays appear in a T-shaped shape.
I think the design on the back is also well-made, but it's actually a pretty design. It feels luxurious. These days, smartphones are being released with cameras sticking out on the back. LG also reflected this trend. However, this model is as beautiful as the combination of iPhone and Galaxy advantage. LG's smartphone always had something to do with its design, but it's been a long time since I thought the design was good.
What sets him apart from other smartphones is that he hid his speakers very well in front of him. At first glance, there's no speaker? It seems that there is only a full screen, with such a proper location.
performance in one's own way
The main display has a size of 6.8 inches and the second display has a size of 3.9 inches. Although the quality of the display is slightly lower than that of the FHD rather than the QHD, the quality of the display was good enough to not feel much of it. Previously, LG's smartphones are felt to be of relatively better quality because of their poor brightness or poor uniformity in color. The ratio of displays supports the 20.5:9 ratio 2460 x 1080 resolution. The panel type is OLED FullVision with plastic AMOLED.
Thickness also feels relatively thin. Especially when I turn the screen around, I think it's a really thin smartphone. Despite being equipped with two screens, it boasts a fairly thin thickness. According to LG, the device was released after 200,000 'swivel tests' and is considered to be a good durable product.
Although LG is criticized in the smartphone market and releases many disappointing products, LG is a fairly good hardware maker. The quality and durability of the product itself are also thought to be a good device.
Wing's special features
There are a lot of personal surprises. As you can see when you actually use the device, you can see that LG has quite a bit of software features and support. For example, a hidden camera when using a front camera car goes up and down in pop-up format and appears on the screen whenever the camera is opened.
There is the most amazing part of this function. If the phone is dropped while the camera is out, the gravity sensor detects it and hides the camera immediately. In other words, these details were well-made to prevent damage to the camera from falling.
The best part of this was that it was possible to multitask on the second screen while playing the video on the main screen. Another function is designed to prevent malfunctions when the screen is closed halfway closed. Unexpectedly, this part is easy to miss, and it seems that he paid attention to the small details mentioned earlier.
a camera of considerable function
The rear camera consists of a "triple lens," with a 64 megapixel camera set at 78 degrees angle, a 13 megapixel camera with a separate "S5K3M5" sensor set at 117 degrees angle, and another 12 million pixel camera equipped with an S5K2LA sensor for use in swivel mode is equipped with a 120 degrees angle.
It is equipped with a wide-angle OIS to show pictures of considerable quality. Also, when using the swivel mode, it operates in camera-only mode, which is quite good. It provides a high-quality anti-shaking function, but in the case of hand-shaking prevention, it works with EIS rather than OIS. The gimbal mode also exists and is much better than expected. When using this function, it works as if it were really using a gimbal. It works with excellent quality.
A little improvement is needed.
It is certain that LG Wing is a really good smartphone, but when you actually use it, there are quite a few things to improve. One of the most disappointing things is the processor and the mono speaker. First, I will explain the mono speaker.
A mediocre, disappointing speaker. When I first played the video in swivel mode, I thought it was really innovative. You know it's an inevitable choice to reduce the thickness of Wing, but mono speakers are quite disappointing. Although it is a smartphone that consumes content, it is quite regrettable that it has adopted a mono speaker.
Next, I will talk about the performance specifications that are lacking. Despite being the latest smartphone, it is quite slow. If you use the Wings while using the iPhone or Galaxy, you will feel much more responsive. It's really slow. When a keyboard is sent to a second display while using the main display, a slight delay occurs, which makes you feel frustrated. I hope you can improve this part even if it is a software part of the software.
Today's conclusion.
Wing is a much better-made smartphone than I was worried about. It was impressive that the target group for sale was clear and produced accordingly. The disadvantages of hardware are really well-made devices, even if they are the two things mentioned earlier. It is expected that LG's smartphones will become more advanced in the future.
I'll finish this post like this. Thank you very much for reading my long article. I am writing a post on my blog covering issues related to smartphones and other electronic devices and IT. If you are interested in these articles, please visit my blog and see various other articles.
