[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] LG Electronics has finalized the name of its new strategic smartphone, which features a horizontally rotating screen, as 'Wing' and plans to release it as early as the end of this month.

According to industry sources on the 4th, LG Electronics has decided to name the strategic smartphone to be unveiled on the 14th as 'LG Wing,' the same as its project name. It is rare for a project name to be confirmed as a product name, but it is interpreted that the name 'Wing' was widely recognized and reflected the characteristics of the new form factor.

The LG Wing is a new type of smartphone where the secondary display rotates horizontally to form a T-shape among the two displays. The two displays enable multitasking such as watching videos, web surfing, and messaging. The main display is 6.8 inches, and the secondary display is in the 4-inch range. It is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 765G chipset.

LG Electronics plans to unveil the LG Wing online at 11 PM on the 14th and release it as early as the end of this month. The price is expected to be in the mid-1,000,000 KRW range.

LG Electronics has been preparing a completely different level of new smartphone strategy called the ‘Explorer Project.’ This product targets consumers who quickly embrace change by breaking away from standardized smartphone designs. The existing flagship smartphone lineup is called the 'Universal Line,' while challenging and innovative products are differentiated and operated under the 'Explorer Project' strategy.

LG Electronics stated, "The price and specifications of the new strategic smartphone have not been finalized."
