- A video has been released to show the LG Wing’s user interface outside of apps.
- You can get an extra large view of your settings and notifications.
- LG will reveal more over the phone on September 14th.
You’ve seen the LG Wing’s clever rotating display when used with apps and games, but what will the interface look like? If a new leak is accurate, you may have an idea.
A Korean video (via Twitter users Fold the universe) will appear to show the Wing home screen and notification shadow. As you can imagine, LG would take advantage of the unusual design even in a seemingly pedestrian situation like this one.
