@@TechOdyssey great 👍 review as always.. Gonna pull the trigger on this or pixel 6 in the next days, both cost $400, gonna use as my secondary phone..what's your pick?
Got one of these this week (April 2023) used for £250. I also got an LG velvet with dual screen case for £250 too. It made me realise I missed out on a lot of great LG devices at the time. Shame that innovation from LG has gone. It was their android update record that put me off at the time and ironically they committed to updating the wing (currently on android 12) and velvet (currently on android 13) after they left the phone market.
I could never.. I had the original Sidekick back in middle school and ALL I did was flip it open and close. I fidget way too much and would probably break the poor thing 😔 but it does look super fun
In my honest opinion I think this is a great deal of a deal of a phone if you're not able to afford the Samsung foldables, Huawei foldable, Even the oppo foldable that just came out, That's a shame that these phones are costing house and car payments and they put just enough innovation and interest in these devices that consumers will buy it. A little do people know that this underground beast it's a beast of a phone may not have a high refresh rate may not have 50 gigs of ram or the latest processor It definitely gets the job done in performance. Having 2 screens open at once is the ideal multitasking beast that is the LG wing
As a Tmobile employee we see warranty exchanges often and we see LG device historically fail often. However the recent devices have been great. The issue isn't us its the customers. Most customers are Apple users and Samsung Users. They have reliable software and hardware. However the LG Wing is a fun device in every way. So that's about it. Most customers want samsung and apple phones, few ask for one plus, pixel and LG. Just remember also Tmobile is a service provider. Selling phones means nothing, it's all about selling service.

Wow skeptical ok then don't get it LG will never make another phone like this and when a new different phone comes out you'll say I'm skeptical about the metal used on it then don't get it you POS, LG put a lot of hard work into this
I agree that Gboard is 1,000x better than LGs keyboard BUT when you have the screen in wing mode and you want to type, ONLY the LG keyboard will work on the bottom screen. Gboard stays stuck on top. I'd love it if Google would make Gboard work with this feature. Have you figured out a way around this? Also, thanks for the vid. I agree with your assessment. Much appreciated.
So my Blackberry Keyone black edition keyboard is failing, tried to put my SIM in my Motion and it worked for a day then AT&T shut it down. I am so friggin' sad that as a Blackberry hold out, it's seemingly coming to an end AND according to AT&T I can't even try a Unihertz Titan/Pocket. But, this phone will work and it still speaks to my need of having something unique...and they're like $350 on eBay right now. Thanks for this review. Always appreciated your love of BB...sad to see it finally dying off. Maybe we'll get that Onward Mobility one at some point but not holding my breath.
Yee. It's a very frustrating situation we're in right now. Sorry you're having to go through all of that. The Wing is a neat phone and should serve you well for a while and is pretty inexpensive now like you pointed out.
I've had this phone a few days now and it's bad ass for sure. But it's hard to get used to. Even over the surface duo. I have to really explore it and find out about it. I've been taking a few days to set it up and I realized I need a loop because I drop it a lot. It's just really different lol
I had a LG V 40 a year and half ago and I loved it. My first LG phone. I would definitely pick this up if I could find it new for 500 or less! Maybe in a month or 2...
I might have bought this if they had a factory unlocked version. All I have seen are carrier specific models that are unlocked for use with other carriers. I don't want any carrier boatware installed and I don't want to see carrier logos on the boot screen or printed on the phone anywhere.
Just got this last week. GREAT phone, BUT: 1, get screen protectors IMMEDIATELY; the glass scratches easily especially from using the swivel. And 2, so far the battery life is not impressive at all. And 3; if you're not used to an LG be ready for an entirely new GUI; it'll be a drastic adjustment
Yeah and I just upgraded to the wing today... lol I have the lg V50 now and as it’s a great daily driver for me I’m hoping I don’t regret sending it back for the upgrade to wing... especially like you said their software isn’t really supported but we’ll see how it goes! I am however so upset lg is stopping mobile though I’ve been a loyal customer to lg since idk the g5!! maybe 2014 or 15 the g series was my favorite I enjoyed those phones more than any I’ve had! But I really don’t wanna go back to Samsung or go to a iPhone lol
I really was considering this phone..until I found out LG is done with phones now and will only be supporting it for 1 more Android update..unfortunate. it's a great design idea.
They're supporting it until android 13! They just released the Android 11 update and they're going to continue :) I have a note 10 and I just bought this wing with a case and screen protector for $400 ! I'm excited , especially once I heard they're going to continue updating
Very nice presentation. I learned a bit too. Thank you. My friend bought the Wing a few weeks ago. HATED IT! So I'm getting it for a really, really, really good price. Free! Pretty cool, huh?
whats with people hating on lg keyboard? It is so feature packed if you actually try to use it. Gboard has absolutely zero to offer except being a functional keyboard.
The LG keyboard on the Wing is horrendous and the hit detection very inaccurate. Typing on it was a nitemare. How do I know? Because I tried using it for an entire day. It's the worst software keyboard I've ever used. If you like it, that's great. But I think it's garbage
Just watched a video from sevealicious tech BlackBerry OS in 2021 according to BlackBerry support BlackBerry ID will go offline so there will be no calls texts email wifi nothing at all will work wow
Hi! Thank you so much for the video!! I just got the wing a few days ago. Can you please explain to me what you were saying about changing the keyboard? That has been the most annoying thing and I had no clue i could change it. Thank you
@@TechOdyssey according to some news the company did sell the preproduction samples to interested employees under the condition that they wouldn't resell (snrk uhh huh sure..) but man, what an innovative company - it was going to get interesting and they got thanos'd.
Just upgraded to this guy when my last phone was stolen and it am obsessed with it...this phone is everything I didn't know I needed
Awesome. I like it a lot. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Just bought one too. Also obsessed.
I am also obsessed with this bad boy
Have you played with the gimbal mode

Thanks for this. I just saw this in the t-mobile store and everyone was talking it down. I actually liked it it alot. Im going to get it tomorrow.
Nice! I hope you enjoy it!
What do you think of the wing?
I could never.. I had the original Sidekick back in middle school and ALL I did was flip it open and close. I fidget way too much and would probably break the poor thing 😔 but it does look super fun
They actually tested it and it lasts for a little over 200,000 swivels!!! Which if you swivel 30 times a day, that's still 18 years 😌🙏🏼❤️
@@whonobody999 this math is very much appreciated
Love watching lg videos from you, honest and to the point! Hope they keep making mobile phones !
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch.

Tmobile always try to overlook LG when you ask about devices. What do you think the reason is?
They want money from lg for marketing
As a Tmobile employee we see warranty exchanges often and we see LG device historically fail often.
However the recent devices have been great. The issue isn't us its the customers. Most customers are Apple users and Samsung Users.
They have reliable software and hardware. However the LG Wing is a fun device in every way.

There are no more warranties with LG than any other manufacturer..

It's definitely concerning now

LG is super underrated when it comes to there phones.
The last year or two, yes
So is Sony
I wouldn’t have paid a grand for it, but it’s a great phone for $500. It’s the least specced phone I have and I keep going back to it.
LG keyboard on the G8 is a good experience.

Only reason why I don't go with LG is updates. They have amazing hardware but software is never supported

Not the first time LG had a T flip phone. Way back in '07 or '08 they had one. Forgot the name though.
Thanks! I just got one👍

LG Wing is for $399 in India. Should I go for it? LG has assured 5 year service but still skeptical on OS updates !
i tried but it went out of stock way too quick.
did you get one?

@@TechOdyssey horrendous in what way? As least tell us about it.
Hit detections are the same across all keyboard as good as ur screen touch can offer.
Yeap lgg5 was solid but got the most flack for the mods. As a phone it was better than most

Just watched a video from sevealicious tech BlackBerry OS in 2021 according to BlackBerry support BlackBerry ID will go offline so there will be no calls texts email wifi nothing at all will work wow
