LG Wing with swivel display to launch on October 28 in India

The LG Wing is confirmed to launch on October 28 in India with a new swivel display form factor. The phone was launched globally in September and now LG is bringing the Wing to India which looks like just another near bezel-less smartphone but is a unique take on dual screens in 2020, especially when foldable phones have picked up the pace.

LG has been teasing the Wing across its social media handles from quite a while now and has even created a dedicated section on its website for the launch event. The Wing is the company’s first smartphone under its Explorer project that aims to experiment with different form factors and in developing unique use cases.
