LG Wing preorder numbers fail to impress but there is a catch
LG Wing preorders have reached 1,275 units, claims leaker Sleepy Kuma. Although the figure is anything but impressive, it's actually not that bad given LG's alleged plans for the phone.
The device costs 1.09 million won (~$940) in South Korea, which is reasonable when compared to other phones with novel form factors on the market.
In contrast, 80,000 units of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 were preordered in South Korea, even though it costs 2.39 million won (~2,063).
This doesn't exactly come as a surprise, as Samsung is one of the top players in the industry and LG is struggling to survive. That's partially the reason why it's experimenting with quirky phones like the LG Wing.
