LG Wing Unboxing and first impressions

 hi guys this is shubham  and in this article let's do the unboxing and have a look at this lg wing and this is a very different kind of a smartphone it actually you can just it splits into two ah yes this is a weird smartphone and this is priced in india at 70 000. i'll leave the links in the description guys so let's just open this up and it says that a case is there hard case in the box so let's see let me just take this out and i i would say this is an interesting phone these days smartphones have become sort of boring it's almost the same thing here lg tries to do a little bit uh different stuff so let's see back as you can see we have the triple camera setup on this one

 and here it says swivel mode gimbal mode and it has a 6.8 inch amoled amoled screen and it says dual recording also so let's keep that to the side and this is the device and here it looks like a normal device but as you can see and you can use it as a gimbal and stuff and snap it back i will come back to the device later let's see what else do we get because the box is really big on this one yes there is something inside this one too and yes wow a screen guard what is this so yes screen guard is also there quick start guide and a case ah this is nice

 this is a plastic case guys completely of plastic uh but at least you're getting a case in the box so that's nice let me keep that to the side and this looks like a big let's say it's fast charge so not that super fast charging guys uh you also get a usb a to usb type-c cable and what are this what is this are these earphones oh you get a adapter that means no 3.5 mm headphone jack you get a dongle but certainly no headphones or anything bundled so here

 is the device itself guys and yes it does have some weight first impressions and we also have a pop-up camera over here it's supposed to be a 32 megapixel pop-up camera we have a secondary noise cancellation microphone and here we have the volume rockers up and down and the build quality seems to be really nice this should

 be the power button speaker type c port main microphone and here is our sim tray it looks actually really big in size i'm also curious why is it so big let's see oh so still a hybrid but the layout is very very different as you can see guys so that's what we get and back we have the triple camera setup guys minus 64. and we actually have two ultra wide not one but two because it uses that gimbal mode so 13 megapixel and 12 megapixel and yes you can do this and it swivels so let's just power this on and guys by the time it actually boots up and i set it up 

here is a configuration overview this lg wing 5g is having a 6.8 inch full hd oled screen and the smaller screen is a 3.9 inch it's provided by gorilla glass 5. it's powered by the snapdragon 765g octa-core processor comes with 8 gigabytes of ram and 128 gigabytes of storage moving to the camera it has a triple rear camera the main camera is 64 megapixel with f 1.8 then we have a 13 megapixel ultra wide then we have a 12 megapixel ultraviolet 

moving to the front facing camera it's a pop-up 32 megapixel it has 4000mah battery and also supports wireless charging so guys i have set up the device so let's have a closer look at the same and as i've told you guys it does have some heft towards it because essentially it's like one and a half phones like this if you do uh you also have this one and you can actually do a lot of things with this swivel and some of the apps i'll show you that later but let's uh look at the weight of this device here is my main scale and definitely actually as you can see pretty heavy at about 261 grams so yes it does have a little bit of heft so you've got to get used to it uh but this screen is actually really good uh this is a oled screen that they are having it's a 6.8 inch screen it's a full hd it's not a quad hd but it's a p oled screen and also uh it has that in display fingerprint scanner

 here as you can see so the in display finger prints kind of works very well and this is running the lg's custom ui so no after if you swipe like this it goes to the search by default maybe you can change it i'll check that later but here are the apps so these are the app trays and all this bunch of lte specific apps quite a few are actually pre-installed and if you go down here you have the quick toggles over here and as you can see uh we have actually a lot of things though this is not having a flagship processor but the build quality and what do you feel it actually gives you a of a flagship guys uh back is also glass guys this is so like this guys it actually looks like a regular what do you say android phone um and it's a good screen as i've told you but the thing is that it changes if you swivel this and let's talk about the swivel and i have to say uh the feel is really good you just actually flick it like this and it opens and this is the screen now the small screen 

is a 3.9 inch and this is actually again a oled screen that we are having back again as you can see this is how it becomes it becomes like a t like this and it has that satisfying uh feel feels actually really nice you do it and so feels nice actually ah so now let's let's do one thing let's try to look at the speakers supposed to have stereo speakers let's just try to play this as you can see quite loud let me skip this so as you can see like this now this is how you viewing it click it this goes into the full screen mode i'll just pause this for a second and this is independent and
now here you can run another app if you want uh for example play store or whatever for example you can watch a video and do one more thing so actually you can run two apps and also another thing that i've noticed is that let me just get rid of this one um let's say i'm here okay i swear like this it moves in this orientation and if i tap a text field the keyboard actually comes here so again if you uh use it like this a lot if you type a lot then this can be uh beneficial again i'm just scratching the surface guys of this uh dual size so sort of a split screen thing that you can

 do with uh this one um now let's do one thing let's actually open up the camera on this one we have the triple camera as i've told you uh front is actually a pop-up camera and again when we swivel it changes into a gimbal mode so that is actually interesting so let's just open the camera first let me show you the normal mode this is the normal regular mode as you can see this is nothing special seen this earlier also so you have this and we have the portrait mode on this one as you can see so we have the regular uh stuff here and again as it's a lg phone it's camera centric that you are getting but if you want to really take advantage of this one uh you actually 

from here you go to this mode and this is actually uh the gimbal mode and this is for videos guys uh let me actually show you as you can see see the joystick over here and i i'm not gonna move the camera but if i just move this it's it's going to move stuff as you can see so this is the gimbal mode you hold it like this and move around and you get the video and using this joystick virtual joystick you can pan around a little bit and move around so that's actually pretty cool and uh again this gimbal mode is mostly used for video so you also have another thing like dual recording and here it can record from the front facing camera that just popped up and even from the rear and you can even split it equally if you want as you can see front and back so again uh when

you go into the swivel mode like this uh it moves into that gimbal mode and mostly for video regular shots again uh i would say you have to use it like this so these were taken with the rear facing camera and as you can see the pictures come out good there is slight saturation but overall i feel it's good this is regular shot and here i use the 2x digital zoom
and here finally i use the wide angle lens and now moving to human subjects i was surprised that the skin tones were produced so well as you can see even the bokeh mode it does actually a good job and you can also use the 2x mode in the bokeh mode and this is the wide angle shot uh one more example uh this was the regular shot and here i enabled the portrait pokemon uh one more shot in sunny uh area and this was with the wide-angle lens now moving to the front-facing camera the pop-up camera actually does a very good job the color reproduction it's very sharp but when you enable the bokeh notice the background blurring around the hair that

 is not done that great and i noticed in almost every shot now these were taken in completely artificial lighting in my office and i i was surprised that it performed this well in completely artificial lighting the colors also actually look very good and the white balance was accurate guys this is in the gimbal mode and i'm just walking and it should be actually technically very stable but you guys let me know but the thing is that when you use this gimbal mode uh it's cropping a little bit and this is in 1080p not in 4k uh and let me use that virtual joystick to pan around i'm not moving myself i'm just using the panning and it can go to the left till there and to the right till there and if i go down also yeah it can go till here and i can go even top till here so again very interesting take that at what it's doing but uh do let me know what do you feel about the same here i use the




 dual recording mode and the front facing camera as you can see it's recording well but the uh from the rear facing camera i felt uh that the exposure was actually a lot darker when i was using this mode hopefully they can fix it uh with the software update so guys uh that's it for now for the unboxing and first looks at this lg wing certainly i would say one of uh the most interesting phones that i have used this year and it's not like i have don't have other phones for example this is the samsung galaxy folder that i have it's a foldable phone uh yes but what lg is doing is
 very very different so what do you guys think about this um but kudos to lg for at least trying something different with smartphones because the problem these days is that smartphones are just becoming boring uh companies are not trying to play with any new form factor or stuff but definitely lg has tried to do this with this lg wings but what do you guys think about the same do let me know in the comment section below what i'll do is guys i'll try to use this

 phone uh for a couple of days to get an idea where exactly uh this uh what do you say civil screen is useful and how practical is this phone in daily use if you have any specific questions do let me know uh that's it for now anyways guys that's it for now take care catch you later
