      Yeah the wing was the first phone and what was something that was going to be called the explorer project which would have included the rollable. It's really sad that the wing is the only piece of this project we ever got to see. I would love to see a former LG employee leak some of the plans for weird phones they had.
      But the V-Series was great especially when they added the dual screen. had stylus upport on both screens, class leading battery life, was released in a good year for Qualcomm chips because the 865 was still being fabricated by TSMC (unlike the 888 and the 8g1 which would have probably nuked to 30% of the battery life and caused a bunch of throttling like it did to all the subsequent flagships). Not to mention that it's worth its price as a dac alone these days. And even has a perfectly serviceable desktop mode that works wired and wirelessly. It's not as good as dex or Motorola's ready for but it was well with on its way and still perfectly functional.
      V60, wing, G8X, v50, velvet .. LG really went out with a bang

For us who still have LG phones, like the Wing, appreciate them for their out-of-the-box ideas. It isn't the best if you want a good camera or screen or even hardware, as it gets android updates way after other phones (we barely just got android 13 update recently), but if you want something to multitask and experiment dual app usage with, this is right around your corner.

      Yeah I have both the G8X and the wing. Personally I don't really even detect a difference between 765 and 855. I'm sure technically the 8:55 has better GPU but does not impact my use case. Plus 765 has the benefit of 5G, although I really don't care about that at all living in the United States.
      One thing I do like about the G8x is that it's relatively pocketable for a dual screen phone.

    I do not notice the chipset on the day-to-day use case. It's not something you notice but browsing speed or shutter speeds, it's only something that you would notice if you're gaming or trying to render 4K video or something. I think some enthusiasts get caught up in geekbench figures without realizing that for day-to-day usage, web browsing and basic interactivity is almost identical on a 765g versus an 865 versus an 8g2. Unless you're doing some serious productivity work, or gaming extensively , why do people need the latest chipset? If anything the 888 and the 8g1 we're overall and negative because they had to throttle it so much due to heat and poor battery life. Under sustained use, a phone with the 8g1 throttle to the point that it's really only performing about as well as a 765

    As a longtime owner of a LG Wing daily driver for over two years, i agree with most of this. I tried for a long time to utilize both screens for DS emulation, but like you said, its a futile quest. One thing though, it does fit in the Gamesir X2, atleast for me, because it didnt fit in the Razer Kishi hehe, so i bought that.
    This is actually the first review that goes really indept into the LG Wing environment which i really dig, so thank you!
    Just bought a Fold 3 discounted to take over my on-the-go emulation needs of the Wing, and it works.. ok, not great, but ok.
    Honestly its the best phone ive ever had the joy of using so far, and i'll use it till it dies! I might switch to the fold for a bit just to get into it, but i'll revert back to the wing, perhaps even buy another one if my current one dies, thats how much i absolutely love this phone.

      I'm not too familiar with anydesk, but I did have Remote Desktop setup already. After messing around with it for a bit as a refresher, I can confirm that the keyboard behaves normally (i.e., it pops up on the lower display when toggled). The lower display's trackpad also works fantastically for navigation.
      Based on personal experience, I've found the keyboard to default to lower display in 95% of cases where a keyboard is requested. The instances in which it doesn't usually boil down to either I accidentally switched away from LG's default keyboard or the app is opting for its own keyboard instead of the system's keyboard for some weird reason.

    • @GameXData
      @GameXData  Рік тому +1

      It's a bit convoluted, tbh. Here are the general steps:
      1. Open the game you're looking to play with touch input visible.
      2. Take a screenshot. (You'll use this to map your controls later.)
      3. Close your game and open the SoftWing app.
      4. Select Controller Settings
      5. Tap the Set Image button and select your screenshot
      6. Select the button on the bottom half of the screen you want to map and tap the Configure button
      7. Select the Input Type you want to use
      8. Tap the area on the screen where you want that button press to register
      9. Repeat for all buttons
      10. Once everything's set up, launch your game with the lower display visible and launch SoftWing by selecting it from your notification shade.
      There are also a few different controller layouts you can choose from and a few different profiles you can save for different games. The Help button at the top of the app is also handy if you forget any of these steps. If your configuration doesn't work perfectly the first time, don't fret. It sometimes takes me a couple iterations to fine tune my controller settings.

      @@motionoftheocean7524 it's worth getting one but it's really chunky and heavy performs well so if you like a phone that's heavy and thick then go for it you will need a back cover for it it picks up finger prints very easy mine got the android 13 upgrade so that's a plus as well it runs on android 13

      @@MANSL200 Much appreciated for the very helpful input.🙏🙏🙏. I've been eyeing this one item going really cheap on a used website... Now I just might ahead and get it myself thanks to you.
      Not a power user or anything..just like the form factor. It'll serve as a nostalgia later on i guess if nothing else in a couple years.... Thanks MANSL200
