The company has held partnership with Rave, Ficto, Tubi, and NAVER to design features of the new Explorer Project devices that will go official on September 14, the company said in the press release.
“The Explorer Project will focus solely on new usability that is discovered with innovative designs while LG’s new Universal Line will be the company’s lineup of competitive devices that focus on consumer lifestyles, such as LG VELVET,” the company said.
It further informed that the new smartphones will elevate the mobile viewing experience with the industry-leading processing technology.

Dual Screen and 64 MP triple camera
The T-winged smartphones will have the ability to communicate and will provide the users streaming content at a high-level quality, LG said. This would be made possible by Rave. Whereas, for the global launch of streaming service with the Explorer Project, Ficto would play a key role in pioneering the revenue. Meanwhile, one of the largest ad-supported free streaming service, known as Tubi, will also be an early partner of the Explorer Project, LG informed. To work on the LG Dual Screen and develop a version of its Whale browser with unique browsing features for Explorer Project devices, South Korean NAVER collaborated with LG. LG Wing flaunts a 6.8-inch main display in the video with a traditional and vertical screen. The lower screen simultaneously switches to a horizontal display. The main screen is 6.8-inch while the secondary display is 4-inch. The phone comes with a triple camera of 64-megapixel, as per the LG.
