A couple of years ago, LG shuttered its smartphone business globally, but one of the last handsets it released was the LG Wing. Now, a company is bringing back part of that phone.
The LG Wing never launched in Canada, but the handset offered a swivelling display with a smaller screen behind it.
The Xeta One attaches the smaller inner display to a BlackBerry keyboard with an optical trackpad. Android powers the device, and it features 8GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage, Android 13, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 5G processor, Bluetooth 5.1 and the iconic QWERTY keyboard.
Xeta Club is currently crowdfunding for the Xeta One in South Korea. However, as Android Authority points out, the entire project seems pretty scammy. The fine print mentions that this is a renovation project and isn’t a device for mass production purposes.
It’s pretty awesome that these parts are being re-used; I like the idea as it’s eco-friendly, but people really need to leave QWERTY keyboards in the past.
