rgonomics isn’t everything, but it’s a lot. The swiveling LG Wing has the
most standard “phone” form factor of this year’s crop of amazing,
expanding phones, giving you a dual-screen experience without feeling
too chunky, wide, or weird in your hand. The Wing is coming to all three major
carriers later this year, but I got a few hours with a pre-release model; here’s
what to look forward to.A TOTALLY NEW DESIGN
The initially amazing thing about the Wing is how much it feels like a normal
phone. It’s big, to be sure. The main body is 6.67 by 2.93 by 0.43 inches (HWD),
and at 9.17 ounces, it’s noticeably heavier than most phones. Sitting on my desk
next to a OnePlus 8 Pro in a case, it’s almost exactly the same thickness, and a
little bit taller. But the Wing isn’t oddly chunky like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold
2, or uncomfortably Kindle-wide like the Microsoft Surface Duo. I can hold it in
my hand comfortably; as with most big phones, I have to scooch it around to be
able to hit things one-handed, but it’s usable.Hands On With the LG Wing: The
Most Useful Dual-Screen Phone?
