How does the LG Wing hold up in 2023?

The #LGWing was #LG's final foray into the fantastic realm of smartphone innovation. Though LG folded its #smartphone business soon after, the Wing remains as a quirky reminder of what could have been. While reviews were generally positive, the lingering question is how the device holds up three years later.

Extra notes:

I can't speak for any claims of drop resistance so far, but it does make the Wing much more comfortable to grip.

Not sure if you guys saw it yet, but they feature the Wing in the new "Blue Beetle" movie. The evil villain uses it to control her doomsday device.

If LG is planning a comeback to the smartphones business, They should start with the V Series and the Wing model..The LG Wing might not be the most powerful smartphone but it is the most unique smartphone.

Love finding other Wing users! Mine just got the Android 13 update last week so I've started daily driving it again!

This is probably one of the best phones I have ever owned.

Bought mine back in July 2022. Still the best phone I owned to date.

Getting a wing as a work phone, I've wanted one since I first saw it because it reminds me of the phone Tony Stark uses at the start of the first ironman. One of the coolest phones ever sucks it never got a followup

Have you tried the Kishi without the rubber supports to see if it fits? I have a Kishi V1 that I used with my older phone but my USB-C port is starting to fail and I was looking to finally get a Wing because this phone looks so fun to use, but not fitting in the Kishi will be a bummer, I just recently bought the thing lol

sir, have you tried using anydesk/teamviewer apps on that phone? if u did, the virtual keyboard or track pad is launch on the other screen or both view and keyboard on the same screen? thinking of using this phone to ease remote my bigger PC screen. have anyone tried it?

I still have a LG G5 and just bought another LG V60... I'm definitely interested in the LG Wing and LG velvet. Good video

[dansnickles]

Still using my LG Wing i love it its unique and i haven't had any problems to date best phone i have owned.

If LG decided to make their WING to compete with the Samsung S pen series phone, the LG wing would definitely be an amazing phone. Imagining using the LG pen to draw or write on the mini screen when using the mouse pad option.

I do not notice the chipset on the day-to-day use case. It's not something you notice but browsing speed or shutter speeds, it's only something that you would notice if you're gaming or trying to render 4K video or something. I think some enthusiasts get caught up in geekbench figures without realizing that for day-to-day usage, web browsing and basic interactivity is almost identical on a 765g versus an 865 versus an 8g2. Unless you're doing some serious productivity work, or gaming extensively, why do people need the latest chipset? If anything the 888 and the 8g1 we're overall and negative because they had to throttle it so much due to heat and poor battery life. Under sustained use, a phone with the 8g1 throttle to the point that it's really only performing about as well as a 765

For an LG Wing enthousiast, which version would you recommend when browsing on aliexpress? The Korean(N), at&t & verizon(VM) or Tmobile (TM) version? Looking for an unlocked version

Still rocking an LG G8x with dual screen. If the Wing had more power I'd get one in an instant.

I can’t be the only one here that was just now recommended this video, right after the Linus phone poll

[tsymeh]

If you take a screenshot how does it look?

[gloryhoareau]

Where can I buy one plz since in Africa lg didn't have many outlets

As a longtime owner of a LG Wing daily driver for over two years, i agree with most of this. I tried for a long time to utilize both screens for DS emulation, but like you said, its a futile quest. One thing though, it does fit in the Gamesir X2, atleast for me, because it didnt fit in the Razer Kishi hehe, so i bought that.

This is actually the first review that goes really indept into the LG Wing environment which i really dig, so thank you!
Just bought a Fold 3 discounted to take over my on-the-go emulation needs of the Wing, and it works.. ok, not great, but ok.

Honestly its the best phone ive ever had the joy of using so far, and i'll use it till it dies! I might switch to the fold for a bit just to get into it, but i'll revert back to the wing, perhaps even buy another one if my current one dies, thats how much i absolutely love this phone.

hi, can you install some remote software like anydesk and test how it behaves with the keyboard?
