The LG WING 5G is completely different from any other smartphone in the market.

In Swivel Mode, the entire front of the phone rotates clockwise 90 degrees, orienting the Main Screen in landscape mode to reveal a (3.9) 9.9cm Second Screen that unlocks new usability and new possibilities to explore – a single application can be expanded to both screens or two applications can be displayed simultaneously, one on each display. On the other hand, the LG Velvet is a perfect phone to maximise multi-tasking with an OLED Dual Screen that allows users to work, play & multi-task like never before. With the Dual Screen feature, users can view and simultaneously work on multiple apps while also chatting with friends, playing mobile games, watching sports, posting pictures, shopping and a lot more, all at one glance. With a free stop hinge, the phone allows users to fold it like a laptop, use it in stand mode or do a full 360° flip and place it in tent mode for a versatile viewing experience.

“Today’s smartphone users want and deserve more than cookie-cutter designs and tried-and-true features” said Advait Vaidya, Business Head, Mobile Communications- LG Electronics India. “Our newest launches, LG VELVET and LG Wing 5G are truly innovative devices that are different from anything else in the market today and offer features with unique propositions that are game changers in the way smartphones are developed today. With more consumers watching content on their smartphones than ever before, the phones will create all kinds of new possibilities for multitasking and enjoying content”, he added.

Even with two screens, LG WING is extremely light (260 grams only), making it easy to hold and convenient to carry and its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable and stress-free grip, whether in Swivel or Basic Modes. The LG WING is also equipped with features to enhance durability of the device, facilitate smoother swiveling and prevent any damage. For instance, the hinge mechanism in LG WING has proven to be perfectly reliable even after 200,000 swivels (Tested by LG Electronics).

While, the LG Velvet has a 7.9 millimeter thin profile and offers 3D Arc Design language, characterized by flowing lines, curved corners, symmetrical front and rear edges. It comes with a new, nature-inspired design language such as the ‘Raindrop’ camera that evokes imagery of falling rain and offers a smooth and polished surface, shimmering colors and elegant touches, which makes LG Velvet visually striking and very comfortable to hold.
