The LG Wing debuts this week in the U.S. for $999 on Verizon

The LG Wing is one of the market’s more unique smartphones, featuring a swivel display and a gimbal camera. If you’re curious to check the device out, you’ll be able pick it up through Verizon with preorders beginning October 1.

Verizon will be the first carrier in the U.S. to offer the LG Wing, the carrier said on Tuesday. You can buy the device outright for $999 or you can pay $41.66 a month for 24 months with a Verizon Device Payment purchase.

To entice buyers to purchase the new device, Verizon announced some offers designed to bring the price down:

• Get up to $750 when adding a line on select Unlimited Plans and purchasing an LG Wing with an eligible trade-in device
• Get up to a $250 Verizon eGift Card when purchasing an LG Wing and porting-in a number to Verizon
• Get up to $500 when existing customers purchase an LG Wing with eligible trade-in device on select Unlimited Plans

The LG Wing brings a unique design to the crowded smartphone market with its dual-screen Swivel Mode. The main 6.8-inch OLED display can pivot 90° to reveal a 3.9-inch OLED screen. It’s weird, but a cool way to push the envelope, and it stands apart from some of the foldable devices we’ve seen recently.
