Hey guys, I normally don't comment but I felt I needed to. My daily phone is an LG Wing and I have had NONE of these issues with it. Especially the the screen issues: I have had mine for 2 years and have no scratches, no bubbles, and no wiggle. The screen is NOT loose, in fact it's tight and satisfying the way it slides out. I normally use it vertical but when I need to write an email or send a text I swivel and the smaller screen is perfect for the keyboard menu, it was designed for gboard and it works well. I use it when I'm watching live streams so I can see the full content and the chat. The gimble mode has been huge for me as a creator and the cameras are made for the live gimble feature. This phone was made for hyper nerds, creators, and warranty voiding pirates. It really gets a bad rap considering how great it is.

I'd still have it if it wasn't for the fact my toddler got ahold of it and broke the screen. Only reason I didn't get a new one or attempt to fix it is because LG got out of the phone business. If they weren't abandoning cell phones I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. I have the Samsung S23 Ultra now and it feels like a downgrade in every aspect escept for the camera.

Actually, in the app drawer you can organize and delete applications more quickly, you just have to open the drawer, click on the three dots at the top right and touch where it says organize applications and that's it, you can freely move the apps apps and delete them without leaving the app drawer. 😊

Few comments on the LG Wing: 4:00 The KZread app used to work better with the LG Wing, it's the more recent version of the app that doesn't go from full screen back to the regular window size because KZread made it so it auto maximizes video when a phone is horizontal, which is why it freaks out (it never used to). 4:17 It's not Google Maps, you're not using the 'LG Keyboard' that comes with the phone, it will go to the bottom screen if the phone is in Wing mode. 5:50 Same thing when using remote desktop with the 'LG Keyboard' you're using the 'Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard' it doesn't know to auto switch to the lower screen. Also another thing worth covering is that if you connect it to a USB Monitor you can use a full screen interface similar to Samsung's Dex interface (another reason why there's that track pad) 12:30 You're meant to use the on screen volume control by swiping down on the lower screen when the phone is in Wing mode rather than the physical buttons, also if you turn on the Always On Display a double tap on the screen will wake it rather than having to use the power button.

It's a beast NOW I'd say(given the low price you can get it for today). But it's specs were pretty standard for high end phones when it was released, and those other phones were getting 90HZ+ screens as well. The S20FE for example had the same specs pretty much, and a 120HZ screen and the v60 had a lower res screen than the V50. Still, it had that sweet dac, was pretty durable(except for the USB C being iffy for some people) and a decent battery. The camera software improved over time. It had that gimmicky second screen, some people liked that.

My favourite phone of all time is the LG G8. Still my daily driver. It was part of LGs "promised upgrades" set of phones AFTER the announced foreclosure. Truly great device today! A bit smaller than the V60, but has a beautiful QHD P-OLED display, Hi-fi Quad DAC (Producing the BEST audio quality and experience with a good pair of headphones), a 3.5 headphone jack, and Micro SD card support up to 2TB of external storage. I personally feel that phones are now regressing in some areas, removing features that were genuinely appreciated by many. I can't find any device that I can confidently say will replace the experience that I've gotten with my G8. Sony comes close with the 3.5mm headphone Jack and SD card support, but their flagship price is more than I'm willing to pay and they lack Quad Dacs.

Murena sells fairphones in the US, so you dont have to import them, and they said that they're working on getting the fairphone 5. They do come with their degoogled android ROM but you can always roll back to stock android.

They took away the headphone jack?? I thought the whole point of the phone was to be a worthy alternative?

@GuyGamer1

​​@@Bassquake76The point of the phone is to be an eco friendly alternative to mainstream phones. Most new phones don't have headphone jacks because they create issues with waterproofing and packaging. It sucks, but the headphone jack is far from a dealbreaker. Just stick a dongle on your headphones and move on with your life.

​@@z0phi3l It helps to think about it this way: the fairphone has the right price to performance ratio, and other companies just give you a "slave labor" discount and the "fuck the environment" discount and so on

LG will be missed, they really don't bloat their phones too bad and they tried some interesting experiments like the Wing here. The V series holds a special place in my heart having had one in my pocket for nearly a decade at this point. Their no compromise approach to audio especially is what kept me coming back, and the V60's dual screen case pretty much succeeds in what the Wing here failed to deliver. I would love to see you guys take a look at them!

That's the problem they experimented with and moved on they needed to actually stick with something I really really loved their LG G3 and it's laser focus camera

I really want to see this concept be brought up again! Sure, with improvements of course both hardware and software.

It could be useful for gaming, you can have the game on landscape screen and gamepad buttons on the portrait one.

The last LG phone I had was the G4 and it was the best phone there was at the time. They did really user friendly stuff, like adding a very very minor vertical curve length-wise that made it easier to use as a phone! The double tap to wake I believe also was born on this phone, too.

I am very happy you are trying out the Fairphone after all, very interested to see how it stacks up!

That screen wobble when closed is physical haptic when typing.

I actually have an LG Wing that I won for free at the beginning of the year. I've been dailying it ever since. It has some interesting quirks with the software, including the fact that I can't get to my app drawer if I unlock the phone from the AOD instead of pressing the power button first. And yeah, lots of apps don't work on the second screen. But I actually love to use the swivel mode for KZread just as a comfortable way to one-hand the phone and still watch in full screen. I've also discovered that it's kinda fun to use in swivel mode with the large screen vertical and holding the small screen off to the side, if you want to double app with something like Instagram reels. Unfortunately my phone is carrier locked and I am stuck back on A10. But maybe that's a good thing because I haven't experienced almost any of these issues in the video. I have to say, maybe it's not the best phone, but it's just got a really nice overall feel, and the cool factor is off the charts (at least in my eyes.) I love showing it off to people and seeing them freak out. I keep thinking about switching phones to get updates and a smaller, lighter phone, but I always end up staying with it. RIP LG, you were the only original ones in a sea of glass rectangles

Man, these sponsor spots, absolute pieces of art, thanks. Also the LG Wing was def a phone I wanted, back when LG still made phones (it was expensive as heck, though).

Ha loved the sponsor spot! Go Sarah and Denis!

Cool the outcome we expected lol. Can you try the Fairphone now please!

I kinda wished LG did something with the old design of the LG KS 360. Loved it.

I really liked the ad spot with Sarah and Dennis. I would love to see more ads with other people from the team!

5:16 😂 "it's now out of fashion to be able to copy part of a text" XD I feel that, really one of the fashion trends along the removal barrel jack

The LG Wing was actually such a fantastic phone. I loved it. I wish there were more innovative devices like it. Especially from someone who actually would have taken care of the software for it. I used the hell out of the inner display for so many things. It kept me super productive all of the time. Texting while watching videos, maps and music while driving, coordinating pokemon go raids on discord while playing the game back when I still played that trash, and so much more. Ngl, a lot of the hardware issues I never personally had. I got mine near launch as well. So it's very unusual that you had so many issues. The inner display dust scratches are easily combated by a screen protector. The screen rippling I don't see on my old 2 year daily driver Wing. The wobbling I honestly enjoyed because it was a great fidget sound even though its super bad for the hardware lol. The mono speaker and volume button locations were bad. The Wing had a better finger print scanner than the Samsung Folds for me. I could put in any finger print at any angle on the Wing. The Fold 4 I have to be prefectly oriented and situated on that little bar. Even a micrometer off kilter and it locks to the pass code fully. I prefer the Fold overall. But I wish someone more competent would have made the Wing. I got tons of questions about the Wing and told how cool it was all the time. The Fold, everyone knows and they are basically a slab of glass phone with extra style. I love my Fold, but the Wing had more wow factor.

9:52 Jake: So are you my real Dad? 🤣😂🤣

LG Wing user here! I absolutely love this phone! I do want to note that only the stock LG Keyboard works as intended with the secondary screen. If you download Gboard it will not work how you want it to Linus! You goof lol. Glad you got to experience this phone! Regardless if it was more negative for you.

That sponsor segment was absolutely amazing, love the running gag

What was really lovely is the reference to the Linus vs Dennis PC Build Simulator video, where Dennis insisted that thermal paste belonged in the socket.

For clipboard copy on Android for apps that don't allow it, get into the task switcher. (I forget the gesture as I still use the three bottom buttons, thank you to Android for allowing that.) If you use the 3 bottom buttons, it is the square button. On the task switcher there is a "select" feature that allows you to select text on the snapshot of the task. Sorry, I'm explaining it poorly, but it has saved my bacon several times when I needed to copy and paste some text out of Facebook (for example).

I was a person who used LG back from the g6 and the OG stylo series and had quite a few of their phones. They weren't always the most up-to-date with their processors and hardware, but their design philosophies and the way that they made phones that were unique was always a really cool thing to me. Before the foldable phones and stuff came along and became the way they are today, they had the LG g8x, which came with a dual-screen accessory that was essentially a case that fit around the body of the phone to add an extra inner screen. It used the USB-C port to power the extra inner display and smaller outer display that could show the time and notification icons when the device was closed. They also had one for the V60, which was the phone that I had, and I believe the last phone they made that was officially sold in the US (correct me if I'm wrong). They essentially made a "folding phone", and to be honest, it was really cool, but finding a use for the accessory was difficult as to me the fact that it wasn't a singular display that folds in the middle kind of made it harder to find uses for it as well. I think the thing that sent LG under was the fact that they'd throw their whole company at these devices, but because they weren't as popular as the Samsung or Google phones, it was really hard to get the software support needed to really make those phones come to life, which is really a shame. They had their own proprietary apps and whatnot but you could uninstall them and I don't ever really recall them installing your phone with a bunch of bloatware from the bat out of all of my time using them. I think they treated their customers well in their time in the industry, but because they weren't pulling the apple and Samsung marketing stuff they just didn't get as far with the general consumer population and therefore didn't get backed up enough by all of the app developers because realistically with how little people used these niche devices and accessories there wasn't really a reason to put a whole lot of effort into making sure they worked perfectly all the time. All-in-all, I'm glad you stuck to your word and used it for a month, I personally would've recommended a v60 because at least the dual screen accessory would have been similar to your previous daily driver, but I think showing off the last phone they ever produced to the masses is a really cool thing since they didn't really get a huge spotlight over here in North America. Quick Edit after the fact: In all of their phones I don't think they ever removed the headphone jack ONCE, despite the fact that a lot of the major players were doing it, and they also really, really cared about the quality of the features they had when it came to their more "basic" phones. I really think the wing was one of the harsher ones because honestly it's just a really difficult form factor to work with. It's really a shame that they had to leave the industry, but I also feel like sometimes they tried too hard to make these new innovations/gimmicks when they could've kept making more of their good, more budget friendly devices with quality headphone jacks, displays and software.

From my experience, the keyboard always showed on the bottom screen, just you had to use the LG keyboard, that seems to be worthy sacrifice for me, and if you ever wanted to change it back to GBoard, there's a dedicated button to do so if you don't use gestures for navigation, still worthy trad of by my experience. But yeah it's slower than I'd like and buggier than even my V40 before this, but I can't help, but love it for what it's worth. Only thing I hate about it, is absence of 3.5mm jack, what was always highlight about LG phones :(

Happy to see Dennis more! That dude is hilarious.

The wing satnav usage would be awesome. Have music on the lower screen and maps on top

I had an LG G4 back in the day and I've missed the rear-mounted buttons on every single phone I've had since. That thing was just the best, RIP to a real one.

I wish the wing caught on, i love the concept so much but definitely needed a lot more polish. I hope apple picks up where the wing left off cuz they would definitely make the dual screen main stream.

fantastic to see that BizCal is not only used by myself... it's the best calendar app and i've been using it for years (I have BC2 right now, the Pro version ofc)

The concept of this phone reminds me a lot of my first phone: the Samsung Juke. The screen flipped out in the same way but went 180 degrees, exposing the keypad and controls. I heard from other kids my age that these things got broken all the time. I’ve always been careful with my stuff and I still never trusted that thing. I was very happy to move to an iPhone 4.

My problem with these kind of designs, from the days of clamshell phones, is that they have a flex cable permanently moving. And that means they have a limited life, because we know how godawful hard is to repair a phone for the regular user. Looking forward for mandatory replaceable batteries too.

Had one and loved it EXCEPT for the subpar chipset, and the lack of compatible apps that utilized both displays. Otherwise, it was fun phone to own and use.

Ah, picture in picture. It's always interesting seeing how my youtube app automatically applies it when I'm in the US, without downloading any updates, and then losing it again when I go back home.

I'm using LG G8X since 2019 and love it. Since their phone division folded I don't have to worry about them "sunsetting" the device slowing it down to get me to buy a new upgrade phone. It still gets regular updates from LG and my phone carrier to this day.

The thermal paste intro to the ad had me DYING

I love that line, Don't be a Dennis

Wild that they left out the headphone jack. That was the one thing LG users never complained about... I miss my quad DAC so much

my first thought is why didn't the keyboard pop up in the bottom screen, i hate to say it but for this to work they need there own market place for this to work on the software side

The camera's dual mode is pretty cool IMO. You can record both a selfie vid AND a POV vid at the same time¡

i really hope we get a update on the experience with the fairphone 5

LG was kinda the last company to still make janky innovative phones and I think that's one of the reasons that made them to stop making phones I had a LG X Screen as my first Smartphone and I absolutely loved it, it was one of the coolest things ever to have a separate task bar from your main screen or even controlling the music with the main screen being off

For route audio through usb c..you need to enable it in develepor mode

I’ve had this phone for the last 3 (? Whenever it came out ish) years and I’ve had like 2 of the problems he found in a month. Other than bad speaker I feel like he got ripped off and it’s not a new one or something. I take mine to the Beach and get sand in it and still no scratches on bottom screen. Also bottom keyboard while taking notes in college was very nice. Best double app is google maps plus Spotify with a magnetic car mount in vertical orientation. 21:9 desktop monitor enjoys being paired with this phone as well. The swivel still works and no play or typing jiggle as mentioned. The phone is def goofy af and has weird things w some apps but like the just turning off in the middle of the night thing just doesn’t happen.

After this I would really love to see you daily drive the FairPhone! Edit: Love that he’s actually doing this! Excited for more content on the Fairphone!

Would love a wing teardown to give this thing a sending off proper! I enjoyed the Dan repair of Linus's old phone.

The LG V60 with the second screen on the holding case was a great idea and a phone I still daily drive today. It was last their flagship phone and maybe if they stuck with only one or two phones instead of trying to create one-off phones for show...maybe, and just maybe they would still be making phones. I will miss the LG V60 dual screen phone after using it for the past three years.

My first android (and smart phone) i had was the LG Motion 4G on metro pcs. A great introduction into the world of smart phones when it just started to heat up back in 2012. Simpler times.

When you get a new android update.. Until you unlock the phone it doesn't give you notifications. That isn't just an LG thing.. It happens on my S23 Ultra as well

I use this phone daily. I got it since LG was getting out of phones and I've always loved their sorta gimmicky phones. I like using the Wing to take notes on google docs for my classes. I've had zero problems with the fingerprint reader though (even with a very cracked screen). I have mine on a timer to restart every weekend to deal with the update issues. My complaints are not enough apps support the unique screen orientation and that no one made a case that can swivel and protect the main screen :(

You can change the volume on a small screen using your finger by tapping and sliding so that you don't have to use the physical button on the side while the screen is in swivel mode.

My fairly recent Xiaomi note pro phone had that same rebooting issue, with notifications not coming through until I open it for the first time. Except it wasn't just at night, it was randomly throughout the day. It was the one and only deal-breaker for me.
