joe nodden, 18 Sep 2020Ok sure, the way the cameras function is amazing, but they ... more> "...but they still only have a weak 765G in here capable of a mere 4k30."
Not everyone is a hardcore mobile gamer or mobile filmmaker who needs the fastest chipset or the highest video recording resolution possible. For most people, that is just about the most powerful chipset for daily use and I definitely don't mind about it. You could argue that a two-year-old flagship chipset is still relevant to this day (which I can agree), but it doesn't have the efficiency of newer chipsets.
> "...why would you ever use the wing functionality. The YouTube function is useless."
Having the video only to show at the top screen and all the controls on the second screen is useless? Weird flex, but ok. Well that makes the Google Maps navigation on large screen and call receiving on the smaller screen is pretty useless then, even if you are not an Uber driver.

cincyreds62, 18 Sep 2020the phone is not "abysmal" ... it's obviousl... more"it's obviously not targeted toward you." Nor towards anyone else. I guarantee if you get this phone you're rarely gonna use that second display, only as a party trick.
"unless you're a hardcore gamer, high refresh displays on phones are vastly overrated." Wow I've never seen so much wrong in one sentence. (1) If you're a hardcore gamer, you're not using a dang mobile phone. You're using a PC. (2) So if "hardcore gamers" aren't the intended customers of high refresh rate display equipped phones, who are? You guessed it, everybody else who doesn't want a slow phone for general usage.
"I'll take better battery life over a high refresh display any day." Well too bad you aren't getting either on this phone. 4000 is the bare minimum these days. Lol. Why would you ever bring up the battery life when that hurts your argument.
"it's obvious they had to compromise some of the specs to keep this phone a reasonable size and weight and a reasonable price." Ok I changed my mind on that other sentence. I've never seen anything more wrong in a single sentence than what I see here. (1) 260g makes it one of the heaviest phones ever. Only phones with fully fledged, about 8 inch second displays come in heavier. This thing has a teeny tiny 3.9 inch second display. (2) Reasonable size? 10.9 mm in thickness is not reasonable at all, once again, one of the thickest phones, only coming in thinner than phones that literally fold. Like the Mate Xs. Though even that's only a tenth of a millimeter thicker. That's right, a mere tenth of one. And the other dimensions are all way bigger than normal thanks to the big display which personally I don't have a problem with, but then again, I'm not the one bringing up the dimensions as a pro. (3) Wow I didn't realize $2000 was reasonable. Lemme just go work 200 hours at my job to afford this "reasonable" price. Meanwhile working 50 hours would give me enough for a phone with a literally over twice as fast SD865.

YUKI93, 18 Sep 2020What's there to like about this? A lot. - https://y... moreOk sure, the way the cameras function is amazing, but they still only have a weak 765G in here capable of a mere 4k30. So pretty much kills the main selling point. Kinda exactly like what happened with the Vivo X50 Pro. All that hype around the camera just to cripple it with a 765G. And other than the camera functionality, why would you ever use the wing functionality. The YouTube function is useless. It's beyond simple to just tap the screen and access the buttons and bar the same way. The multi task feature is rarely going to end up being used. This isn't a PC. The full screen keyboard thing is useless because it's still too small to use all fingers, but too big to comfortably use two thumbs.

Chris, 17 Sep 2020I have the LG V60 thinq 5g dual screen and it's great ... moreI wouldn't say failed after seeing reviews with this phone. This isn't geared towards productivity like the DualScreen case. I can see a bright opportunity for mobile vloggers who loves to record or live stream a lot of videos using the smartphone. The Gimbal Camera feature alone makes me deeply want to have this Wing despite currently owning a V50 with the DualScreen case.

userbenchmark, 16 Sep 2020galaxy fold, mate xs, moto razr...The 765g isn't even a bad processor why is he saying that it's very good for a midranger for a phone like the Oneplus Nord And the new pixel 4a 5g. So how is the 765g slow? I think he just hates on mid range phones or what? Every mid range phone he just calls it trash and hates it. It's just like he just forgets the price and call it bad??

YUKI93, 15 Sep 2020This is why I really love LG. They don't follow the la... moreI have the LG V60 thinq 5g dual screen and it's great no flaws at all for me and reasonably priced. As for this LG Wing well let's just say what is wrong with it. No dual screen. One 6.8 and one 3.9? That's only one and a half screen. Where is the innovation in that. Plus could go as high as 2000.00 that's not innovative. All people are going to be paying for is a flip screen. Personally not impressed especially when missing some of the bottom screen. A phone with one and a half screen.. LG has failed with this.

I'm using v50 now and I had no issue
I&#... moreLG is the only company make flat back panel in 2020. Those absurb camera bump are just making more scratches to the lens and wobbling a lot. And a company consistently provide MIL-STD-810G sertification for all of their top-tier products.
And a unique feature no other company made is LG's phone can fully customize the navigation bar. I can put my back button anywhere even right in the middl, to get better ergonomic.
Using LG's phone since G5 then V35 and G8, so I never had experience with G3 or G4.
G5 is the only phone on the market can take panorama with 5000px height. Compare to S20Ultra(3680px height) and iPhone 11 Pro(3938px height), G5 is the epic landscape camera in the decade. But only exclusively to G5, not G8 nor V60.
LG maybe is not the best but saying that it is the worse have no sense at all. Some useful minor features exclusively in LG phones are just making it incomparable with the others.
I am looking forward to a phone that can read book in lanscape mode(to read A4 size pdf) and check the dictionary in portait mode. Tried LG G8X but the keyboard in lanscape are just too wide for anything. You know what I mean. LG wing might be something that can suit my requirment.

MaikyMoto, 15 Sep 2020Good luck with that 4000mah battery.I have a lg g8x with 4000 mA. It lasts me 4 days with up to 7 h of screen on time, haptic feedback on, AOD on and touch sounds on. Sooo....yeah I think 4000mA is just enough if it is well optimized like LG does it.

I'm using v50 now and I had no issue
I'm also using their phones and TVs for 5 years
They dissapointed in the past (g3,g4 etc) but big companies like samsung and apple
also had problems in the past like exploding batteries and bend gate
Only thing their pricing is very dumb g8 was 850 freaking dollars at launch but now you
can get brand new for 400
I still can't understand why people hate LG that much
