LG announced last week that it will shut down its smartphone business before July 31. However, the manufacturer said it will continue to roll out Android operating system updates for supported models. A few days ago, we provided the entire list of models that are going to get those updates. Interestingly, the LG Wing was on all lists that will get Android 11, Android 12 and even Android 13 updates. If you are not aware, it is a dual-screen rotating model released in 2020. And today, we learned that the clearance process has already begun.
According to GSMArena reports, India’s largest retailer Flipkart has begun selling the LG Wing for the half-price and even lower. The original price of the phone was 80,000 Indian rupees ($1060) in all channels. At the same time, LG’s official price was 69,990 Indian rupees ($928). And now, it is sold for 29,999 Indian rupees ($398). Thus, it’s much lower than the half-price.
