Back in May of 2020, when we were still grappling with our new, topsy-turvy world, LG said guess what: portrait swivel phone. The company announced the LG Wing, presumably to capitalize on the foldables buzz generated by the Samsung Flip and the comically unready Motorola Razr.
The main sell, naturally, is the Wing's ability to multi-task with its secondary screen. In the promo videos LG shows off the ability to watch videos while ordering take-out, responding to text messages, and following turn-by-turn directions. Now that's some dedication the content.
Right now you can get this masterpiece of madness for 30 percent off at T-Mobile, either by buying it outright or by paying 24 installments of $29. That comes out to a sale price of $696, a pretty steep discount from the regular $999 asking price.

The thing with LG phones is that they don't get updates that frequently. That's not great, but some people aren't terribly put off by that. You also need T-Mobile service, of course.
The specs are also mixed. You get a mid-range Snapdragon 765G CPU, but you also get 256GB of storage with the option to expand it, unlike Samsung's newest flagships.
These days, what separates a "flagship" from a mid-range phone is murkier than it ever has been. The LG Wing has a mid-range chipset, as mentioned, but it has a ton of storage, the same 64-megapixel camera as the high-end LG V60, and of course a wicked crazy dual-screen design.
So it really comes down to this question: Are you an Android maximalist? If yes, the LG Wing might be for you.
