And it seems unfair to lump their appliances department with the bankrupt phone department.
You should have bought with caution a phone released by a company that is bleeding for so many quarters, is the punching bag of reviewers and maligned by critics who still believe LG phones after the v10/G4 bootloop regularly.

Never promoted developers to ... moreI said this before and I will say it again, LG Wing was a 1st gen experimental device which had too many rough edges. In India, LG was selling the phone for $400 a piece, still I did not buy it. Instead I bought two LG G8X's with Dual Screen case. The Dual screen case is far practical and is of real use than the tiny secondary screen of Wing.

Felt a bit betrayed by LG.
Never promoted developers to produce any apps that were useable on this phone.
The 2nd small screen is useless to me. Neither LG or developers supported apps designed for this 2nd screen and the worthless little apps it came with were just removed from the phone eventually because they were so bad. Haven't used the 2nd screen more than a few times in the almost a year I've owned it because there's nothing I found any use for it.
Adding any screen protector messes up the fingerprint reader. Adding camera protectors just results in poor picture reflections. And every one of 11 screen protectors I've tried that claim to be made for this phone either don't protect both screens or don't fit right on one or both screens. And since I like the screen fingerprint reader, 9 of those 11 protectors stop or severely hinder the fingerprint reader whether sensitivity is high or low.
It's all glass and one slippery, horrible-to-carry phone. If you drop it from an arm height, you can count on it landing face down and breaking the glass. Most fragile phone I've ever had. Have had to use my insurance twice to replace broken/cracked main screens because this phone is darn near impossible to hold onto.
Had to put on a pop button just to keep a hold of it since no case I've tried works with it and protects it. Cases just don't fit it well because of it's need to swivel. Have tried several and they all either scrape on the top swivel or don't protect the device well.
The camera app is so darned difficult to understand with far too many camera options that all look the same but can't be navigated to easily. I seldom use the camera because it takes 30 seconds just to get the camera working and the app adjusted to take a photo. And video capture just is not very good with stuttering recordings and what looks like old SD resolutions even though the camera is set to high HD settings.
The 5G part of the phone is really bad at picking up 5G. I have Google Pixel 5a and it works well on my T-Mobile 5G account. But this phone never shows more than 3 of 5 bars for 5G with T-Mobile in the same areas the Google phone shows 5 bars. And when the Wing starts it's back and forth seeking for 5G and dropping back to 4GLTE it gets almost no data. I finally had to shut off the 5G functionality of this phone to return to getting 4GLTE speeds that were usable. Again no issues with 5G in the same areas with Google 5a 5G on T-Mobile networks.
And one moment the screen won't register almost any touch and the next it picks up your hand holding it on the edges as 50 touches. Very annoying when it starts this.
And lastly, less than a year after buying the Wing with almost no new updates or apps designed for it, LG decides to exit the phone business. So thanks LG for selling a phone with lots of potential that could have been an innovative phone then ignoring it for it's entire partial year it was out and then abandoning all those customers who bought those phones from you. Never again will I ever buy anything LG, let alone phones.

The most things I love about this phone are, number one, the innovative form factor, because I did not like one thing about the usual phones that is when the keyboard comes up, a big portion of the display gets covered up. And also, this gives you the advantage of multitasking more conveniently almost like a PC. And number two is what I have been looking for, for a long time, which is, "not too rounded corners"! Because almost all phones nowadays come with all four corners overly rounded and most of them also come with an annoying notch, creating round black holes on display! But this phone has no imperfections of those kinds, so it earned my affection.
I hope LG would design more phones like this one.

For a first-generation product, LG had actually got the recipe right from the start. Sure that it doesn't have a true IP68 rating because of the pop-up front camera and a headphone jack, but I can totally forgive the loss of them. The fact that this first fruition of the Explorer Project umbrella still has a microSD card and FM Radio support alongside MIL-STD-810G shockproofing totally wows me. For me, the Gimbal Mode video recording is an absolute gem, it really does feel remotely similar to using a DJI or Zhiyun gimbal.
Personally speaking, if I want to improve this phone, I will put three gimbal-stabilized periscope cameras ranging from 15mm all the way to 150mm, a 21:9 1440p 120Hz main screen, a 4:3 60Hz secondary screen, Snapdragon 778G or 780G chipset, and bigger 4,500mAh or 5,000mAh battery. Everything else is already perfect and not broken.

Monsieur R, 14 Jun 2021So buy Samsung flagship so u can comment. Not based on what... moreTechnically I may not have owned a Samsung, but few years back my friend was kind enough to lend his Samsung S10+ for a week.
The phone had great build & design. One of the best. Also the AMOLED display was the best I have seen on that time. But other than this two I did not like:
1) The crappy Exynos 9820 SoC which overheated while playing games.
2) Muffled audio DAC used in Exynos 9820, one of the worst audio in a flagship over audio jack.
3) Phones overheated while using camera for a extended period, even though picture quality is great. My LG V30+ handles extended camera use much better.
4) I had this unique problem of proximity sensor issue causing accidental touches and huge battery drain.
5) Unjustified high price tag, denoting fat profit margins from Samsung.
If only they provided Snapdragon variants of their flagships in India, the picture would have been very different. But that would have slightly trimmed their already fat profit margin. And Samsung does not want to budge on their profit making.

Muzik, 03 Jun 2021Wow, Thats was cool device. My friend bought that, I think ... moreI do not want to comment on some gadget which I have never used. Moreover I have never had a Samsung device in my life. I feel their phones are just over priced like hell and their devices does not live upto the mark with the crappy Exynos SoC onboard. But they have stupendous marketing budget and literally buy all YouTubers & publications to sing praises of their devices. Samsung is doing a very good business and controlling the media. If I was the Samsung boss I would have been in seventh heaven, products selling with huge profit margins.
I never knew Samsung phones are tuned by AKG. Samsung were good on the auido part but never extraordinary. I knew Samsung phones came with AKG headphones. Their is hell and heaven difference between the two. Can you guide me to some article/page where I can find a clue and give my thoughts. LG & Vivo flagships are on another plane when it comes the analog audio through headphone jack.
Regarding the USB audio dongle from Samsung. If you like it then go for it. You see we all quantify sound quality in a subjective way. Objective measurements may show a different picture. In that sense if you like the sound of this dongle then use it and be happy. In the end this is what matters.
Personally I hate audio dongles but if I were to buy one I will go for Meizu Hifi Pro USB-C which was available foe $40 few months back.
