As described by LG’s Andrew Coughlin the Explorer Project is about taking risks and exploring new possibilities through realistic developments for users in mobile design and functionality. The LG Wing is a dual-screen smartphone with a main 6.8-inch display that swivels to expose a secondary 4-inch panel that can be either mounted below or sideways.
And just as the keynote of yesterday came to an end, LG brought up “one more thing” which gave us a preview of its next gadget for the Explorer Project-a slide-out show. Sliding cell phones aren’t a novel invention, ZTE teasing a device earlier this year. But the business has yet to actually launch a product, and LG through beat it to the punch. Moreover, the concept of a sliding handset, with a rotating display rolling along the device’s side and back, makes a lot of sense for LG, particularly because the company was operating on a roll. The teaser stops unexpectedly followed by a “hold your breath” mark and a warning that this system is part of the LG Explorer Project amid the explicit message that LG is operating on a roll-out tablet. There are no further specifics about the system in question but we will definitely learn about it as soon as possible.
