LG Wing Review: The most fun I've had this year!

[@segarrarios]

Coolest looking phone of 2020, maybe coolest looking electronic device this year.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Truth.

[@eliezra3343]

I must say, you are the only decent review i've seen to this phone, actually covering day to day use and not just lab testing. The part about the side buttons is when I subscribed to your channel. Great work! hoping to see your next videos

[@palmviewlobos15]

I love you with the double tap 🤣🤣🤣 as if everyone forgot about the double tap was an LG standard for as long as I can remember!

[@airriderz15]

[@FAT8893]

I can't really remember if it's LG or Windows Phone OS that started the double tap trend.

[@rapiddu6482]

@@FAT8893 it was windows phone but LG gave the feature in about 6-8 months. But other OEMs didn't give this feature for another 2-4 years.

I remember seeing LGs knock code, don't know if in practice it was more trouble than it was worth, but thinking that looked so cool.

[@karltheintern6531]

Wasn't it Nokia?

[@notpenguino]

I feel the need to say something: This thing has a rotating screen, a large battery, and a pop up camera. It still keeps expandable storage. I have no more to say.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

LOL. Yup!

[@beerusthedestroyer1579]

Except for a 3.5 mm jack ..which is fine for today's standards cos it's a niche product

[@Spearra]

@@beerusthedestroyer1579 And even then LG included a dongle. The other companies don't have any excuses with how much more money they get than LG LOL

[@highland_persuasion]

Not to mention, for those who just want to stand out of the crowd in terms of form factor, this is the best phone there is out there that still is pretty great in terms of performance for a MID-range phone.

[@rajupadhyay3855]

This is just so unique. LG has really knocked it out the park.

[@Domo8186]

[@resilientintrovert]

The LG Wing is one dope looking phone. My only gripe is that it doesn't have the signature quad DAC. That's why I'll go with the V60.

[@GenkiStarLeaf]

I've got a feeling the V60 will be the last LG smartphone we'll see with the Quad DAC. Hope not though.

[@therealsechs]

Yes it does have the DAC. But it only works when it's plugged in via audio jack dongle . It even says so in the settingsm yikes. Not sure many are looking into this.

[@therealsechs]

Is the LG sound engine what we are talking about? Because it's there even with 3D audio but have to be connected via headphone dongle

[@blackboxmobile7106]

To be honest the LG sound that swapped out the quad dac is pretty decent but depends on how much of an audio guy you are.

[@dado380]

@@GenkiStarLeaf NO,only explorer devices like new rollable phone will not have headphone jack while new project rainbow flagship will have headphone jack and DAC according to LG.

[@SpardasTechReviews]

It is kinda funny how lg has has knock on/off since the g2 and tech reviewers can't do something as simple as testing it on the smaller screen. Lol I did it on my v60s second screen just to see if it worked when I first got it it's not rocket science.

I basically never subscribe to phone reviewers, This was an incredibly honest video and understanding that this phone isnt for the basic consumer, I immediately subscribed when the video was over. This was the review I was looking for when I searched and will come to you with any review I need in the future. THANK YOU!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

You're very welcome. A few of us floating around. We're not as algorithm popular, so we need all the sharing help we can get.

[@astop94]

This wing thing is probably best when making vids. It has a handle with the lower part, and a gimble too. That's nice. I'd love to try this

[@timotg91]

Your take on phone reviews is super refreshing. I’m trying to figure out if I want to upgrade my phone and you take all the marketing out and make a compelling case for what use-case each phone may be best for. If we’re being honest, all these latest phones are awesome and it seems there’s no ultimate best, just what best suits the user. This is super helpful, thank you for going that extra mile compared to spec sheet reading other channels seem to rely on. Subscribed!

Uncle Juan, I pray you hit 1 million at some point. Your videos are just as good or better than the "big boys".

[@governmentbikgayihai9112]

[@yohanwinnd2367]

Your smiling face and enthusiasm throughout the video really showed how much you enjoyed this phone. A Masterpiece indeed.

[@trueimage.6720]

I have this phone and allllllll I can say is HAPPY EXCITED and the Multitasking features are out of this world!!!! I was able to have 3 THREE apps open at the same time and able to make a phone call and received calls. This phone is INNOVATIVE for Business & Personal use IT'S THE FUTURE!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Right! If you really want to DO more on a phone, this kind of hardware is a joy.

[@sunnybunny1209]

The fact that I could watch landscape video while holding the phone in portrait is single handedly making me consider this phone, especially when its about 350-400 on ebay

[@sc9433]

if u get used to the wing, there will be no phones in the future that offers the same form factor. ull be sad.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's one of the better "on-the-go" solutions, especially when you're using that gimbal camera.

[@FAT8893]

Ikr. It's so completely different than using a normal slab smartphone.

[@FAT8893]

@@sc9433 That's the reason why we still like LG Mobile for not being afraid to be different. It's just a shame that most average consumers only care about SamApple products from popular sponsored "techies".

[@Dramanothica]

You can tap the bottom screen and it will automatically switch to pin. It will not show immediately specifically double tap the bottom screen even if its doesn't say. Unlock will appear. I wish the compatibility was mentioned when you turn it 90 degrees. The orientation changes so you can hold it pretty much any way.

[@faisalleeds]

Great review Juan, really concise and addresses all the concerns a buyer might have. Can't wait to try this out at some point and get a feel of that slider!

[@faint46]

Just got my Wing yesterday, I love all the customizing features. The different ways you can hold it while still having full function is just too good.

[@comprehensivelyambigous3865]

Same here, my friend! I just got mine yesterday, too (although we have two different 'yesterdays')! 😉👌🏾

[@JubileeRM]

I really really really love my LG Wing. I actually have my Note 20 Ultra parked up in the box just because I prefer the LG. Apart from the weight of the phone and the single speaker, I absolutely love the feel of the phone when I hold it. Such a shame we didn't get a follow up on this one. Oh well......

[@WiseRuler]

You gonna keep Note 20?

[@deezlittlethingz]

I love LG. My last 2 phones have been an LG and I'm considering the wing.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's a FUN phone.

[@alexanderrahl482]

It is intriguing. And it IS innovative. I kinda like this more than the folding screen tech.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Folding is better when you can put it down, but this is definitely my pick for USING it on the go.

[@VasyaIvanovichPupkin]

Definitely! I held off the V60 dual display purchase because I ride a motorcycle, and the folding case is a NO-GO on the go. Other similar scenarios would pose a similar issue. And I am glad I did. This is a much better option in my case. I am now hoping to have my fun with it and to get a V70 when it comes out because I do like my "V" lineup. )))

[@sheldonwaller4073]

I am down for that

[@jayvee5886]

Reason why I purchased it. I can do more easily, especially having it mounted open on the car. It's just awesome!

[@niteowl360android]

Definitely the best review of the LG Wing I've seen. And I've seen them all. Yes, the lack of the Quad DAC is almost a deal breaker, but I'll have my V30 for that. Btw, it would be great if you could follow up with a review of a USB type C dongle with DAC/AMP and 3.5 mm jack built in to pair with this device. Thanks again

[@sc9433]

The perks of owning a V series phone 1st before jumping onto other phones. The V series with the quad dac can be kept as a portable music player even when we are no longer using it as our daily phone in the future.

[@MinusNoir]

With all the smartphone industry becoming so excessively boring, this is quite a treat. And USEFUL treat. We need more phones (and reviews!) like this.

I dont even remember the last time i used the power button to lock/unlock any of my LG phones. Besides the actual turning off of the phone and taking screenshots, i dont ever "click" the power button. I even have the "Knock Code" unlock patern on my V30 and have had it on my G4, i still unlock it with it when its lying on the surface, and normally i use the fingerprint sensor when not on surface. Always loved the double tap and it just feels weird using a different phone and then tapping the screen to lock lol

I had a phone like this in like 2008 I loved it. It had buttons and then the T part way touch screen.

[@MrChristophersilva]

Juan, I agree 100%. Phones have become a boring but functional slab. I love the idea of pushing boundaries, and it's refreshing that LG continues to to this. I hope they continue to do so.

[@Spearra]

10:53 About that. Since LG's last three major phones use similar (main) screen technologies and sizes, that has the interesting implication that LG Velvet screen protectors are technically LG Wing protectors as well. Personally I use a "ArmorSuit MilitaryShield Anti-Glare Screen Protector for LG Velvet (2020) (Case Friendly) Anti-Bubble Matte Film". PSA, you can actually buy a second one, cut it to have it actually fit the second smaller screen of the LG Wing! Due to this, I actually managed to protect both screens without majorly screwing up the functionality if the swivel in the process. PS: "Case-Mate - Tough Plus - Case for LG Wing (5G)" works exceptionally well with said screen protectors. I'm honestly surprised no-one tried to use LG Velvet screen protectors on their V60s and Wings considering their main screens are basically similar specification wise, sizing included. Then again it is the mobile techies community we're dealing with here lol.

[@justinwilliams7296]

You're correct. The phone is hard to integrate into lifestyle, but when you do, it's awesome!

[@FAT8893]

Coming back to this video in August 2022, I actually did get mine at the end of July 2022 for the equivalent of $270. It took me about three weeks to arrive since it's a South Korea variant, but... WOW! It's totally worth every penny! It really didn't take long for me to get all familiar with the swivel screen. I also love the gimbal camera for giving me total control for video recording. It may only record at 1080p/30fps, but I'm still more than okay with it.

[@krishnamanchundiya]

In few words this is the best one out, using full power from the chipset, giving the best outcome from every aspect... That really means lg is improving... I had a lg g7, got g8x this year and saw the initial improvement....

[@rouka7638]

Subbed! I am growing tired of big tech youtubers who don't seem to have a clue about the very thing they claim to have mastery on - tech. Whoever pays them gets positive reviews, or in most cases - a review, at all. There are not enough reviews on LG, Sony phones (and other brands that are not apple, oneplus and samsung whose marketing consists entirely of throwing big numbers around and passively paying big youtubers), and when i do find one the "avg consumer" thing you talk about kicks in and results in a review that feels like checking off a list. When you hold a phone in your hand and actually use it, that is when a review can actually happen. Reading specs off a list and filling a 7min video with b rolls is all it takes these days to make a review apparently. Again, thank you for your work. I dont need flashy b rolls and a spec list , but a guy who sits down and genuinely talks about his experience which seemlessly comes from daily use to a formal review.

Keep your expectations in check doesn't have a high refresh rate doesn't have 12 to 15 gigs of RAM, doesn't have the latest processor, News Flash sorry to disappoint but as a consumer it can't always be burger king have it your way, get everything you want that's definitely not realistic

[@coolpoete]

The point of what LG did to tune Android to fit the wing is a very good one. I don't see other youtubers give LG credit for that. Do you think things like a snap 865 and more memory would eliminate some of those transitions? I have a feeling that software tuning could fix that.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Oh I think it would help certainly. It would just depend on how LG is leaning on the CPU or GPU to power those transitions.
