Ahead of the official unveiling, high-resolution renders and specifications of the upcoming phone have appeared online, giving a close up look at the phone's unique form factor.

The images which come courtesy of NextPit and Lets Go Digital reveal the overall design and multi-tasking modes on the LG Wing. The smartphone has two displays- a main display and a secondary display that appears when the main display is rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction.

According to a report by Lets Go Digital, the LG WING sports a 6.8-inch OLED display and its secondary display is smaller than the main (4-inch in size) and has a screen ratio of 1.15:1. The phone is likely to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G 5G octa-core processor coupled with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB onboard storage.

Further, NextPit provides a quick look at the various use-cases of the secondary display. The phone allows users to run two independent apps simultaneously, one on the main and the other on the secondary display. To access additional functions of an app on both the displays, there is a 'One App Extension Mode'. For instance, while using 'YouTube' users can access the content on the main screen and the playback control buttons on the secondary display.
