29:46
we are all born
29:47
explorers
29:51
tackling unfamiliar experiences again
29:54
and again our thirst for discovery
29:58
winning over our fears it used to be
30:02
that each day was a new chapter in a
30:05
story
30:05
filled with adventure
30:09
but somewhere along the way exploration
30:13
became something trivial experiencing
30:16
something new
30:17
and stretching our imaginations became
30:20
an afterthought to playing it safe
30:24
but our story does not end here
30:27
we at lg are taking our first steps to
30:30
explore the unknown
30:32
because life is full of wonder if you
30:36
step away from the race
30:37
and remember how to see through an
30:39
explorer’s
30:40
eyes our mission to make life better for
30:44
you
30:44
in unexpected ways and to never again
30:48

31:01
good morning good afternoon and also
31:03
good evening to you wherever you are
31:05
around the world
31:06
and thank you for being with us we’re
31:08
very much looking forward to sharing
31:10
some exciting news with you today
31:13
for the past decade we’ve had
31:15
smartphones in our pockets
31:16
and we’ve probably all owned about five
31:18
or six of them
31:19
the designs specs performance and what
31:22
these devices can do for us
31:24
has far surpassed what we thought
31:26
possible but let’s be honest
31:28
over the last few years newly launched
31:31
phones
31:31
have been slightly improved updates from
31:33
the previous version
31:35
specs with mostly the same design even
31:38
while demand
31:39
for differentiated and personalized
31:41
experiences
31:42
has increased but what if i told you
31:45
more could be done
31:48
as we’ve hit peak smartphone as many
31:50
pundits and experts have said
31:52
your expectations and desire for
31:54
something new something fresh
31:56
has increased especially in the wake of
31:59
the 5g
32:00
era as we look for ways to address these
32:03
expectations
32:05
we’ve launched the explorer project an
32:08
initiative from
32:09
lg mobile that aims to breathe new life
32:12
into what makes a smartphone to envision
32:15
what it ought to be to design what it
32:18
should be
32:19
by closely examining the user experience
32:22
and breaking from the routine
32:24
smartphone form factors the explorer
32:27
project
32:28
imagines different approaches to the
32:30
existing premium smartphones
32:32
that all look and function the same
32:36
the explorer project allows us to have
32:38
the courage to tackle new challenges
32:40
to take risks and pursue new
32:42
opportunities
32:44
it’s where you’ll see new and different
32:47
but practical innovations from lg mobile
32:50
our philosophy of delivering these
32:52
practical innovations to you
32:54
will come to life in these devices this
32:57
is not just about one product however
33:00
but rather a whole line of new and
33:02
innovative form factors
33:04
and experiences you’ll see from lg
33:06
mobile
33:07
today and in the future we know we
33:10
couldn’t have done this without the
33:12
support from our valued partners
33:14
who shared and understood our pioneering
33:16
vision
33:17
now let’s meet our explorer group
33:19
partners who are with us
33:21
from the beginning of this adventure
33:24
[Music]
33:29
we have actively collaborated with lg
33:31
mobile on ways to optimize
33:33
performance of the products of the
33:35
explorer project that will bring
33:37
new and different experiences to
33:38
consumers and we have worked hard to
33:41
optimize the performance
33:42
of our qualcomm snapdragon 765g
33:46
chipset so that consumers can fully
33:48
enjoy the new
33:50
and different mobile experiences more
33:52
reliably and for a longer period of time
33:57
how has the partnership been with lg
33:59
well it’s been extraordinary
34:01
we could not have asked for a better
34:02
partner when you have a main screen
34:04
where you can watch a show and you have
34:06
a second screen where you do other
34:07
things
34:08
it becomes a perfect way to watch a show
34:10
on mobile
34:13
combining media viewing and chat is a
34:15
difficult problem there’s only so much
34:17
space on a screen
34:18
but this device makes the impossible
34:20
possible we can’t wait until people
34:22
experience rave on this
34:24
revolutionary device table whale
34:27
has always been looking to provide
34:30
differentiated routing experiences
34:32
but to do so we were in need of a new
34:35
approach
34:36
especially in terms of smartphone form
34:39
factor
34:40
engine mobile suggested the light
34:42
solution we needed
34:45
[Music]
34:47
the explorer program in lg wing we are
34:50
able to provide additional functionality
34:52
in our intuitive user interface viewers
34:55
will be able to easily access playback
34:57
control and other features
34:59
which are historically hidden on other
35:01
devices 2b
35:02
is proud to be part of lg’s launch today
35:05
and we look
35:06
forward to partnering on other products
35:09
in the future
35:10
[Music]
35:15
and now it’s time to fly let me
35:18
introduce you to the bold
35:20
and adventurous start of our exploration
35:23
the first product
35:24
of the explorer project lg

[Music]
35:50

[Music]
36:38
hi there my name is austin evans and
36:40
today i have the pleasure of greeting
36:41
you as an lg explorer expert
36:43
and i’m honored to reveal the first
36:45
product of lg’s explorer project to the
36:47
world
36:47
i’m happy to introduce a product that is
36:49
truly unique and shows a very new
36:51
direction for lg to explore
36:53
today we’re going to get a hands-on look
36:54
at the lg wing and get a real user’s
36:56
perspective
36:57
on how this device can provide a
36:59
genuinely new mobile experience feature
37:01
by feature
37:02
first up we need to unbox the device and
37:04
who better to do that than the king of
37:05
unboxings himself
37:07
lou from unbox therapy today i’ve got
37:09
something that i’m certain you’ve never
37:11
seen before
37:12
i’ve looked at many smartphones and you
37:14
know i’m always on a hunt for that next
37:17
futuristic farm factor and i think
37:19
that’s what we’re about to find
37:20
inside of this box right here now first
37:23
glance you get the lid off and you think
37:25
to yourself
37:25
that’s just a standard smartphone then
37:28
you start playing with the packaging
37:31
and you notice something is a little bit
37:33
different
37:34
and when you pull the phone out that’s
37:36
when things go to the next level
37:39
boom there it is my friends this is the
37:42
lg
37:43
wing in a sea of the same
37:46
basic bar type design phones this is
37:49
something truly unique
37:51
the swivel action feels mechanically
37:53
solid
37:54
that’s smooth goes without saying that
37:56
when you pop this baby open
37:58
you’re going to turn some heads but more
38:00
than that this
38:01
swivel design changes the functionality
38:03
of the phone itself
38:05
starting with the home screen that’s
38:07
been completely redesigned
38:09
swivel mode also gives you a nice
38:11
balanced grip
38:12
but really this design is perfect for
38:14
people who like to watch a lot of video
38:16
on their phone like i do
38:18
like when you’re watching a video on
38:19
your phone and you touch the screen by
38:20
accident
38:21
the controls pop up or when you get a
38:24
text or call
38:25
right at the most crucial scene no more
38:28
the different grip means nothing
38:30
interferes with the main screen and the
38:32
grip lock button prevents accidental
38:34
touches on the second screen
38:36
another problem this dual screen setup
38:38
solves is
38:39
when you’re using your phone for gps and
38:41
then you get a call
38:42
now you have the gps on the main screen
38:44
and the call on the second screen
38:46
no screen interference no missed turn
38:50
the main screen for your main task in
38:52
the second screen for your calls
38:53
messages and notifications
38:55
it’s simple and hassle free it’s easy to
38:58
tell from the design that the wing was
38:59
designed for comfortable viewing without
39:02
interference
39:03
so it’s only natural that the wing is
39:05
sporting a po-led display
39:07
when the display turns on what’s the
39:09
first thing you notice
39:11
well you notice what’s not there no hole
39:14
cut out no notch
39:15
just 6.8 inches of pure uninterrupted p
39:18
o led real estate and despite it having
39:20
two stacked screens
39:22
lg’s p o led tech makes the wing thinner
39:24
and lighter than you’d expect
39:27
so then you got to be asking yourself
39:29
hey no hole punch no
39:30
notch and where’s the front camera well
39:33
it’s a pop-up camera and it’s 32
39:35
megapixels
39:36
in the back you have a 64 megapixel main
39:39
shooter and two
39:40
ultra wides 12 megapixel ultra wide for
39:43
shooting in swivel mode and a 13
39:45
megapixel ultra wide for basic mode
39:48
now you can do a whole dialogue scene in
39:50
one take record the action you want and
39:52
your reaction at the same time
39:54
and if you happen to drop the phone by
39:56
accident check out what happens in slow
39:58
motion
40:00
for all you video files the lg wing
40:02
comes with gimbal camera features
40:04
it has six motion sensors inside and
40:06
stabilization software that can
40:08
compensate for shakes and bumps in three
40:10
axises that means your shot will come
40:12
out silky smooth
40:14
the wings form factor also gives you
40:16
better balance and a more natural grip
40:18
for shooting
40:19
and just like the gimbal cameras you’re
40:21
familiar with
40:22
you have the joystick on screen to tilt
40:24
and pan the camera manually
40:26
and also the four gimbal shooting modes
40:28
follow pan follow
40:29
fpv and lock mode now having a gimbal
40:33
attachment is great
40:34
but you have to carry it around set it
40:36
up and by the time you’re ready to shoot
40:38
maybe that moment is already passed this
40:41
is a lot faster
40:43
now these specialized functions are
40:45
great but where i think this phone
40:47
really shines
40:48
is in how useful it can be in everyday
40:50
use like when you want to search while
40:52
you’re watching netflix or following
40:54
along to a cooking video and setting the
40:56
timer at the same time
40:57
multitasking feels easy and natural with
41:00
this setup
41:00
look how many different things you can
41:02
do and if you have a favorite
41:04
combination of apps you always use
41:06
together
41:06
you can pair them on the second screen
41:08
to let you open them with one touch
41:11
and what makes the wing stand out from
41:13
other dual screen phones is the fact
41:15
that
41:15
when you don’t want to use the second
41:17
screen you can make it disappear in a
41:18
snap
41:19
now you’re in basic mode this type of
41:22
daily use means the hardware has to be
41:23
solidly built
41:25
the swivel mechanisms swivel action has
41:27
been tested over 200
41:29
000 times so it works smoothly for years
41:31
to come
41:32
it also has a water repellent coating
41:34
that makes it water resistant for daily
41:36
life
41:37
plus on the main screen you’ve got an
41:38
in-display fingerprint sensor
41:40
even when using your normal apps the
41:42
second screen makes things easier
41:43
especially for one-handed use there is
41:46
nothing like the convenience of having
41:47
video playback controls ready on the
41:49
second screen
41:50
futuristic form factor futuristic form
41:53
factor
41:54
or scrolling through the gallery on the
41:55
second screen while viewing the
41:57
full-sized photo on the main screen
41:59
if you like making videos editing video
42:02
on the wing is a breeze
42:03
like professional editors that use two
42:05
monitors the wing’s two screens make the
42:07
controls feel less cramped
42:09
with all these great features you don’t
42:11
want your data speed lagging behind
42:13
that’s why the wing is 5g enabled and
42:16
it’s got enough battery power to last
42:17
you all day
42:18
so this smartphone obviously it’s much
42:21
different it’s a completely
42:23
new approach i always appreciate
42:25
ambition
42:26
from manufacturers when they don’t just
42:28
do the status quo
42:30
yes it will work as a standard
42:32
smartphone in this
42:33
slab format but when you pop it open
42:36
obviously
42:37
you can tell you’re dealing with
42:39
something quite different
42:41
is this going to be the smartphone for
42:43
everyone
42:44
i don’t know but maybe we’re looking at
42:48
the future
42:48
[Music]
42:54
why thank you lou so now that we have
42:56
seen the key features of the wing up
42:58
close
42:58
let’s now see how the device can be used
43:00
in real life alongside josh the korean
43:03
englishman
43:04
azzyland and zach king also been using
43:06
the phone in advance so let’s see how
43:07
that went
43:08
the wing was designed with careful
43:10
consideration to not force users to
43:12
change the conventional smartphone
43:13
experience that everyone’s familiar with
43:15
so if you want to use it like a
43:16
conventional smartphone you can
43:18
upright in portrait mode just like you
43:20
always have alright
43:21
let’s try unlocking it first
43:27
for everyday use it looks just like any
43:29
premium smartphone
43:30
nice build big screen and three lenses
43:34
on the camera
43:35
the rear camera is 64 megapixels
43:40
all right and has all the popular camera
43:42
modes like portrait mode
43:45
time lapse video and video with asmr and
43:48
voice booking
43:51
this beautiful screen is a huge 6.8 inch
43:54
full hd oled the 20.5 by 9 screen ratio
43:58
display without any distracting notches
44:00
offers a pretty immersive viewing
44:02
experience
44:03
video looks great on this flawless
44:05
display when you’re watching a video
44:07
and a call or a notification comes in it
44:10
interrupts the viewing experience
44:14
and until now there hasn’t been a good
44:15
way around that which brings me to what
44:17
makes this phone really unique
44:20
the swivel swiveling up that front
44:23
screen and getting access to that second
44:24
screen
44:25
feels great and opens up a lot of new
44:27
possibilities
44:28
like watching uninterrupted full screen
44:31
video while simultaneously interacting
44:33
with notifications
44:36
even if i just use the phone like a
44:37
conventional smartphone most of the time
44:40
being able to swivel that screen up and
44:42
use
44:43
this 3.9 inch oled second screen
44:45
simultaneously
44:47
it’s really cool on the main screen in
44:49
landscape swivel mode
44:51
you immediately see these featured apps
44:54
rotating the second screen out to watch
44:56
video feels great
44:58
and allows you to watch full screen
44:59
while holding the phone vertically
45:01
which does feel more like a natural
45:03
position for your wrist
45:04
the second screen feels sturdy and makes
45:07
a convenient comfortable grip for your
45:08
phone
45:09
and of course this second screen opens
45:11
up a whole range of possibilities when
45:13
it comes to
45:14
user experience innovation
45:17
using the device in swivel mode makes
45:19
the second screen ux stand out as
45:21
really well thought through and if you
45:24
want to use the second screen only as a
45:26
grip
45:26
then you can turn on grip lock which
45:28
locks the controls on the screen
45:30
to prevent you from pressing anything
45:31
accidentally
45:32
[Music]
45:35
this second screen really opens up a
45:37
whole new user experience
45:39
one of the standout partnerships that
45:40
will have integration with the wing ux
45:42
is a new premium browser called naval
45:44
whale developed by naver
45:46
perhaps the biggest benefit of using the
45:48
lg wing with naval whale is being able
45:50
to put a floating picture-in-picture
45:52
window on the front display
45:54
this makes picture-in-picture viewing
45:55
viable without blocking a huge part of
45:57
the screen
45:59
and watching videos on sites like
46:00
youtube through whale enables an
46:02
expanded ux
46:03
that allows you to watch a video on the
46:05
main screen
46:07
while scrolling through videos or
46:08
searching through comments on the second
46:10
screen
46:11
but being able to watch full screen
46:13
video while multitasking
46:15
is a great improvement on what’s been
46:16
possible until now
46:18
in the world of smartphones that’s full
46:20
of minimal design
46:21
changes from one phone to the next the
46:24
lg wing offers multitasking during
46:26
uninterrupted viewing through a
46:28
genuinely
46:28
interesting innovation so i’ve gone over
46:32
the new viewing experience at the wing
46:33
office and how to use one app across the
46:35
two screens
46:36
but there’s plenty more to come azilan
46:38
will now join us to further explore how
46:40
to use two apps
46:42
at the same time with the wing hazy over
46:44
to you
46:46
hello citizens of asealand i’m going to
46:48
be doing something totally different
46:50
than i normally do
46:51
i’m going to be testing out the lg wing
46:54
you’re probably thinking ozzy is in way
46:56
over her head and you would have been
46:58
right
46:58
but this smartphone is supposed to make
47:00
my life way easier
47:02
so in the spirit of life hack videos
47:04
which you know i love
47:05
let’s take this baby out for a spin when
47:08
i first got the phone the first thing
47:10
that stood out to me was its
47:11
one-of-a-kind design
47:12
now at first glance it looks like your
47:14
standard premium smartphone
47:16
you can multitask with the multi-windows
47:18
features like any other smartphone
47:20
but if you swivel out the main screen on
47:22
the top then the second screen
47:25
reveals itself this really got my
47:27
attention
47:29
because just by looking at the layout of
47:31
the two displays you can already tell
47:33
how useful they can be as you can see
47:35
having the second app on the second
47:37
screen is infinitely better than any
47:39
multi-window feature
47:41
in basic mode you can slide up the
47:42
divider in the middle to adjust the size
47:44
of the apps in the multi-window feature
47:46
but as you can see the screen space is
47:49
very limiting
47:52
so let’s test this puppy out and see
47:54
just how much we can do now that we have
47:55
a second screen
47:56
shopping is made easy because you don’t
47:58
have to toggle between apps to compare
48:00
prices on different sites
48:02
hmm i better compare prices
48:07
this one’s cheaper you can play games
48:10
while browsing the web and totally not
48:13
use it to cheat
48:14
what is another name for adrenaline what
48:18
is another name for adrenaline
48:23
oh epinephrine i can do tutorials and
48:26
take calls without
48:33
foundation interruptions this oh no how
48:34
did she do it
48:37
hello how are you
48:41
yeah yeah i’m almost there i’m on my way
48:50
when i get a call it comes in on the
48:53
second screen
48:54
so that nothing appears over the
48:55
navigation screen as it’s running
49:02
where are you i’m literally here you
49:05
can’t see me i’m waving my hands
49:09
i can watch movies and video chat my
49:12
friends
49:13
in real time no matter how far we are or
49:16
how close
49:19
okay so to recap i’ve so far shown you
49:23
guys all these cool new ways i’m able to
49:25
use my phone to kick
49:26
in some upgrade to my everyday life like
49:29
being able to text
49:30
my friends while watching videos
49:31
secretly getting a little extra help on
49:33
the side while i play trivia
49:35
being able to use the full screen for
49:37
navigation without interruption
49:39
and comparing prices at the same time
49:41
and of course
49:42
being able to do multiple things at once
49:44
but wait
49:46
it’s not over just yet here’s another
49:48
little life hack to make multitasking
49:50
easier
49:51
you can pair up any two apps together
49:53
that you use frequently
49:55
the phone doesn’t make me feel like i’m
49:57
having to learn new tricks to use the
49:58
features
49:59
instead what it does is make what i
50:01
already love doing on my smartphone
50:03
easier and better it allows for a
50:05
customized and infinite user experience
50:08
they’ll definitely make your life more
50:09
convenient while letting you do more
50:11
and these are just some of my favorite
50:12
features there are still countless
50:14
unexplored experiences for you to create
50:17
on your own so asealand has just shown
50:20
us some of the possibilities that the lg
50:22
wing opens up but i’m excited to see
50:24
what more this new device has to offer
50:25
so up next we’re going to be talking
50:27
about something that is becoming an
50:28
ever bigger part of smartphone usage and
50:31
that of course is content creation
50:32
so lg has been at the forefront of
50:34
technology and specifically smartphone
50:36
cameras for years now
50:37
so today creator and illusionist zach
50:39
king is going to join us to talk a
50:41
little bit about what creating content
50:42
with the wing is like
50:44
hey there i’m zach king and
50:50
for those of you who don’t know me i
50:52
make magic videos on the internet
50:54
and today i’m going to show you some of
50:55
the camera features of the lg wing
50:57
and i’m also going to make a magic video
50:59
with it as a filmmaker i’m always
51:01
looking for new ways to enhance how i
51:03
tell my stories
51:04
and technology makes what i do possible
51:06
and inspires new ideas
51:08
one piece of tech in particular is a
51:10
gimbal
51:13
it’s a handheld device that uses
51:15
counterweight to stabilize the camera as
51:17
you move it around
51:18
and you can use a gimbal to make dynamic
51:20
camera moves look professional and
51:21
cinematic
51:22
most phones have a built-in steadicam
51:24
feature to digitally remove the camera
51:26
shake
51:27
but a gimbal uses physics to suspend the
51:29
camera and allows you to focus the
51:31
camera
51:32
on one particular object as you move
51:34
around the lg wing has a built-in
51:37
gimbal motion camera which unlocks new
51:39
creative possibilities
51:41
by bringing gimbal technology to your
51:43
smartphone you don’t have to buy a
51:44
separate device or carry around
51:46
extra bulk equipment and you don’t have
51:48
to worry about problems like the shutter
51:50
response
51:51
all the functionality of a traditional
51:52
gimbal is seamlessly integrated into
51:55
your phone
51:56
the embedded gimbal integrates six
51:57
motion sensors and advanced
51:59
stabilization software
52:00
gimbal mode can be accessed instantly
52:02
when you open the camera
52:04
and swivel up all the standard gimbal
52:06
controls appear here on the second
52:08
screen
52:09
this allows you to view your footage on
52:10
the main screen without any controls
52:12
getting in the way normally i’d use two
52:16
hands on a smartphone
52:17
to get a really stable shot but with the
52:19
second screen you can hold it up just
52:21
with one hand like a traditional gimbal
52:22
stick
52:25
you have your joystick your zoom
52:28
and different recording modes like first
52:30
person view
52:32
pan follow follow
52:36
and lock mode and today i’m going to
52:39
take you behind the scenes and show you
52:40
how we use the lg wing to make some
52:42
magic here’s the video we made
52:58
you want to see how we made it so i’m
53:00
going to use gimbal mode for this shot
53:01
which will make it really smooth as i’m
53:03
running down the street so i’m going to
53:04
be running right here
53:06
and then you’re going to follow like
53:08
this here
53:10
three two one go no no wait
53:14
don’t go so that one was shot in pan
53:18
follow mode yeah
53:19
let’s do it in fall mode no no wait
53:22
don’t go
53:26
oh
53:28
then to make the bike appear we used
53:31
lock mode to freeze the frame
53:32
during the jump cut
53:49
next we edited the video you can scroll
53:52
through the thumbnails to see a preview
53:54
of the videos
53:55
you find the best take click on the edit
53:57
icon and it takes you to the video
53:59
editor
53:59
app by having the controls on the second
54:03
screen
54:04
that frees up your main screen for the
54:05
footage then swivel down
54:07
and upload the video so there you go a
54:10
new magic video
54:11
besides gimbal mode the video camera
54:13
also comes with time lapse
54:17
and slow motion
54:21
i can even adjust the auto caption
54:22
options here we’ve got basic
54:25
asmr and voice bokeh another cool
54:29
feature is dual recording mode
54:31
if i open it here you’ll see two windows
54:33
pop up and i can move them around
54:35
to the right i’m gonna keep it back over
54:38
here but i like this feature because i
54:40
can actually use it to talk to the
54:41
camera and the audience directly
54:43
and show off the illusion at the same
54:45
time i’ve got this little 3d print here
54:47
and it says
54:48
illusion and if i turn it the other way
54:53
it says magic pretty cool now this is a
54:56
cool little feature
54:57
if you’re like me you might drop your
54:59
phone a lot and in case you do
55:00
the pop-up camera automatically retracts
55:02
itself when you drop it
55:04
check this out
55:07
[Music]
55:09
see that now it’s there so there you
55:12
have it
55:13
with the lg wing you can film
55:14
professional grade videos with just your
55:16
smartphone
55:17
i’m excited to see how people use this
55:19
as they create and tell new stories
55:21
[Music]
55:27
alright so now i’ll be taking over from
55:28
here on out for the q a session
55:30
so we’ve heard about the new and
55:32
different form factor experiences and
55:34
changes the wing is able to bring and
55:35
that was great
55:36
but i still have a few questions so to
55:38
help me i’ve prepared a little session
55:40
with the engineers of the lg wing
55:42
who’ll be able to give me an in-depth
55:44
breakdown of what makes this phone so
55:45
unique
55:46
so let’s take some time and hear from
55:47
them directly there’s been a few
55:50
smartphones trying to innovate with the
55:51
tried and tested conventional form
55:53
factor
55:54
including a variety of options which use
55:56
some kind of flexible display
55:59
why did lg choose the swivel form factor
56:02
products featuring flexible displays in
56:04
the current smartphone market
56:06
need to be unfolded or open to
56:07
experience its usability
56:09
we thought a lot about how consumers can
56:10
use multi screens without having to
56:12
change the habits they’re already used
56:14
to
56:14
lg wing before swiveling retains the
56:16
experience of existing smartphones
56:19
and by swiveling up the main screen when
56:20
needed opens a whole new usability
56:23
it was the most optimal way to
56:25
realistically render a familiar but new
56:27
and different user experience
56:28
as a result consumers can use multi
56:31
screens more conveniently
56:32
and with just swiveling up and down
56:34
infinitely expand their user experience
56:37
all these explanations make so much
56:39
sense but i can only assume
56:41
that it was extremely difficult to
56:42
implement the suitable design
56:44
what was the process like when we
56:46
considered the design and structure of
56:48
lg wing
56:49
our highest priority was to ensure the
56:51
components are durable
56:52
even after repeated swiveling motions
56:55
and
56:56
when swiveling the screen to provide a
56:57
smooth and natural luxurious feeling
57:00
simultaneously we faced the challenge of
57:02
reducing weight and thickness of the
57:04
device
57:05
first we developed an ultra compact
57:08
hinge that can operate with a sturdy and
57:10
premium feel
57:11
to achieve this we apply the
57:13
technologies of dual spring
57:15
dual lock and hydraulic damper to the
57:17
hinge
57:18
the dual spring structure distributes
57:20
the forces applied when swiveling into
57:22
two
57:22
while maintaining a uniform tension over
57:25
the rotating ball
57:26
to ensure stable structure and
57:27
durability also the dual lock further
57:30
distributes the forces applied to the
57:32
hinge
57:32
to prevent loosening or disconnection of
57:35
the main screen from the second screen
57:37
finally a specifically designed
57:39
hydraulic damper
57:40
absorbs shock when the main screen is
57:42
swiveled producing a smooth gliding
57:44
motion
57:45
another challenge to design was the need
57:47
for a new structure that is thin and
57:49
lightweight
57:50
but also durable as well for this
57:52
purpose a topological
57:54
optimal design and composite lightweight
57:56
material were applied
57:57
because the device is a combination of
57:59
two displays weight was a challenge to
58:01
overcome
58:02
the weight of lg wing which started off
58:05
at 314 grams in its initial development
58:07
stage
58:08
was reduced by minimizing thickness of
58:10
the metal alloy frame
58:11
and optimizing the layout of components
58:14
in addition
58:15
by applying a perforation technique and
58:17
with more than 30 percent of the mass
58:19
being comprised of lightweight composite
58:21
material we were able to increase the
58:23
strength of the body
58:24
while reducing 16.1 grams in weight
58:27
and by minimizing areas of the hinge
58:29
module to leave only the functioning
58:31
parts
58:32
we could shave off another 5.3 grams in
58:34
weight
58:35
through this process a final weight of
58:37
260 grams was achieved
58:40
making lg wing the lightest among new
58:42
form factors
58:43
and 20 grams lighter than a smartphone
58:45
you can fold
58:46
okay so a big concern for me is with
58:48
dropping the phone or exposing it to the
58:50
elements especially while i’m shooting
58:51
my videos
58:52
especially on a bigger shoot it’s not
58:54
uncommon for me to you know drop a
58:55
device or two
58:56
so how durable is the wing lg wing was
59:00
designed to withstand rigorous testing
59:02
in terms of quality durability tests
59:05
include drop tests from various angles
59:07
to consider when the device is swiveled
59:09
or not
59:10
stress tests shock tests as well as
59:12
touch sensor and
59:13
key press tests among the numerous tests
59:16
we focus most on the bending test after
59:19
testing swiveling movements more than
59:20
200 000 times
59:22
we found that a steady motion was
59:23
maintained even after extended usage
59:26
to prevent scratches and improve motion
59:28
we applied a high lubricity material
59:30
around the second screen so that no
59:32
damage is made on the second screen when
59:34
swiveling
59:35
also we tested its basic quality by
59:37
conducting more than 20 tests in various
59:39
environmental conditions
59:40
including heat cold humidity dust and
59:43
water
59:44
water and dust resistance were also
59:46
provided by applying a water repellent
59:48
coating
59:48
to support it for everyday use in
59:51
addition to internal testing
59:52
the device was sufficiently verified by
59:54
external certification bodies
59:56
it underwent testing based on a military
59:58
standard recognized by the u.s
59:59
department of defense
60:01
being certified in nine categories which
60:03
includes impact tests
60:04
that drop devices at a height of 1.2
60:06
meters from 26 different angles
60:09
okay great so big thanks of course to
60:11
the engineers for answering some of our
60:13
questions it’s been really interesting
60:14
to learn about some of the reasoning
60:16
behind the unique design
60:17
and the details of how this product came
60:19
to life i’ve got to say for me
60:21
the lg wing kind of came out of nowhere
60:23
it does a really good job of bringing a
60:25
very unique concept to the form factor
60:27
that’s basically been perfected over the
60:28
years
60:29
so before we end i have one final
60:31
question what is lg mobile’s ultimate
60:33
vision through this explorer project
60:36
throughout its concept creation and
60:38
development process
60:40
we let ourselves dream a bit to explore
60:43
new form factors
60:44
new experiences new adventures together
60:47
with our partners
60:49
we set out with the goal of constantly
60:51
creating and taking risks
60:53
to challenge ourselves to pursue new
60:56
opportunities
60:57
with a pioneering spirit we are
60:59
confident the explorer project will
61:01
offer new
61:02
and different experiences for those of
61:04
you who want to dream with us
61:06
and it’s our promise that we will never
61:08
stop and we will continue to explore
61:11
new areas and grow together we hope you
61:14
will join us
61:15
on this journey to explore new ideas and
61:18
new beginnings all right so that has
61:21
been a detailed look at the lg wing so
61:24
what do you think
61:24
i’m very much looking forward to seeing
61:26
how the wing can impact how we use
61:28
smartphones
61:29
and what changes this new tech will
61:30
bring it has been a lot of fun to be
61:32
part of lg’s new adventure so thank you
61:34
all very much for tuning in to the event
61:36
