It doesn’t feel like processor lag but opening the camera and some of the transitions when changing apps, particularly in swivel mode, suffer from choppiness and pauses in animation.īiometrics are handled with an in-screen fingerprint sensor on the main display, which is reliable but a tad slow, and we had to retrain our prints twice. The chip is ably backed by 8GB RAM and 256GB expandable storage, but LG’s software is a little buggy. LG has likely picked the chip to keep the phone a dollar under $1,000 at launch. We didn’t notice any performance dip in high-end games. It uses a Snapdragon 765G chip which is not the high-end Snapdragon 865 found in phones like the LG V60 or Oppo Find X2 Pro, but it’s more than capable enough and supports 5G. LG’s Android 10 skin, despite its lag, is a pretty version that doesn’t get in the way of day to day use. The device can, after all, function in its ‘basic’ mode like a regular candy bar device. The 32Mp front facing pop up camera is more than adequate for video calls but I found it less than impressive for selfies, displaying softening and iffy colour reproduction.Īfter all the madness, there are normal phone things to point out. Let’s not forget LG helped pioneer the use of ultrawide lenses on phones in the first place back with the LG G5 in 2016 – it knows what it’s doing with them. The Wing wipes the floor with the less than impressive shots the LG Velvet is capable of, partly justifying its higher price. Clarity is good, colours and dynamic range pop, and the night mode is genuinely superb. The 12Mp ultrawide ‘big pixel’ camera is only available in swivel mode, but the 64Mp main sensor has OIS and produces excellent shots. Luckily the cameras themselves are excellent. That said, we wouldn’t recommend someone buy the Wing just for this feature. ![]() Using this gimbal mode is when I felt the least self-conscious using the Wing un-swivelled, and it also is the most realised way of using of the two screens together. Pan follow mode is the best, cleverly keeping the action steady if you are recording while moving. You can move the camera’s angle with a virtual joystick, zoom, and activate pan follow, first person, and follow modes that help to stabilise different types of video. It’s also really annoying that apps only show up on the second screen’s home screen if you manually toggle them on in a hidden sub menu.įlipping the screen up with the camera on activates a gimbal mode that lets you control the camera in video mode with extra thumb controls and the aid of electronic stabilisation. ![]() It’s a steep learning curve to get dual apps running on the Wing, and you’ll have to manually set up dual app icons on the home screen for the combos you use most frequently. We’re all for trying something new and enjoyed using the Wing’s two screens, but most of their unique functions are not game changers. You can also split that large display into two and use three apps at once in a T-shape but like most of the Wing’s use cases we found Android’s way of displaying these apps rather limiting. It could prove a decent accessibility feature. You can even swipe down on the second screen when there’s an app in landscape and select a trackpad mode that brings up a cursor like a laptop. The LG software keyboard supports two-handed mode, so you can flip the phone upside down and type with two thumbs on a huge landscape keyboard and view the text on the small screen above. There are some nutty ways to make the phone bend to your command. Using the bottom section as a physical grip even without the screen’s use is good when handling a big slippy phone, too.įew games support the second screen, but pre-installed mobile favourite Asphalt 9 lets you play with the second screen up top displaying a map. Controls let you scrub to different places in a video or adjust the brightness and volume of the screens. But the second screen is so small that it’s hard to see much, let alone bring up a full keyboard on it.Ī better use is when the second screen displays controls for the app above, which only works with some apps such as YouTube or LG’s partner apps like Tubi, Rave and Ficto. This works if you want to watch a show and tweet about it, or message friends while watching the footy. Un-swivelled, you can watch video on the top screen and browse another app on the screen below. The second screen is ultimately there as a curious experiment and try as I might, I spent most of my time wishing the phone was normal.
