LG has just launched its latest mid-range phone, the Velvet<\/a>, heralding the start of a new descriptive naming strategy for the brand. So what’s next on its agenda? According to reports from South Korea’s Herald Corp<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and ETNews<\/em><\/a>, the company’s next smartphone could be a phone codenamed “Wing”, so named for the unique appearance the two-screen device takes on when “opened” (which is not totally unlike LG’s then-futuristic V9000<\/a>, released in 2006).<\/p>\n Two concept images show a phone with two screens atop one another, where the bottom screen is only revealed when the top one has been swivelled horizontally. The top screen looks like your standard 6.8-inch Android<\/a> offering, while the “sub screen” comprises a four-inch square. The exact purpose of this design is unclear — the images show the sub screen being used as a keyboard, and then again as an extension of the top screen. This T-shape makes traditional screen viewing a little awkward, which suggests the screens are intended to have individual purposes. This sort of layout could lend itself well to streaming, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Of course, it’s not clear if these images represent a planned handset or are simply whimsical concept designs — they might amount to nothing. That said, LG has previous when it comes to quirky phone features<\/a> and the Wing does align with the brand’s ambition to set itself apart from its rivals. However, how the Wing would work out in theory — there will no doubt be multiple hardware and software challenges to overcome, never mind getting app developers on board to support it — remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Tags:<\/b> Rachel England<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The unique design goes under the codename “Wing”.
