The device features a unique combination of two screens which rotate to form a T-shape. The LG Wing is launching next month in South Korea, with North American and European markets following sometimes afterward. Today, the brand has announced the pricing of the device for the South Korean market.

The device is priced at KRW1,098,900 ($942, approximately), which is in line with what was reported before the phone was announced.

The two displays can be used together for the same app, or for multitasking with different apps per screen. In swivel mode, the horizontal display has a new home screen with a carousel for installed apps.
