We asked, you told us: You’d buy the LG Wing if it was a bit cheaper
August 10, 2025
There’s no denying that theLG Wingis a risky buy. Even in the world of foldable phones and clip-on screens, LG’s latest device is unlike any we’ve seen before. The practicality of its design is debatable, but it’ll likely appeal to first-adopters, collectors, and those who want something a little different.
One thing that may hold the Wing back is its price. At $999, you’re paying for the novelty as much as the phone’s smarts. And when put up against theOnePlus 8 ProandGalaxy S20 Plus, the price perhaps doesn’t quite justify its party tricks.
In a recent poll, we asked readers if they felt this was indeed the case. Would they purchase the Wing if LG priced it a touch lower? Here’s what you told us.
Would you buy the LG Wing if it were more affordable?
It’s true that any device would be more appealing at a lower price point, but some readers want the LG Wing’s price slashed byhalf.
A 42.6% portion of voters would purchase the Wing if it cost $500 instead of $999. These readers will be glad to know LG devicesdepreciate substantiallyover time, but it’s not yet apparent if this trend will affect its latest experimental phones.
Some readers didn’t ask for much of a price cut. 26.4% of readers say they’d purchase the Wing if it retailed for $700. This drop would bring it closer to theLG Velvet‘s $599 price tag. But at this price, it’s the same price as theSamsung Galaxy S20 FEandPixel 5. These two devices would arguably be smarter investments if you’re willing to overlook their shortcomings.
Finally, 31% wouldn’t buy the LG Wing even if it were cheaper. It’s definitely a divisive form factor!
