Moto G Stylus 5G Review: Great Specs For $500 But Limited Software Updates

Moto G Stylus 5G Review: Great Specs For $500 But Limited Software Updates

Motorola's Moto G Stylus 5G has everything you want from a sub-$500 phone at first glance. At $500 (which roughly converts to £320 and AU$560) it has higher-end features normally found on more expensive phones, including a 6.8-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 50-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization. You also get a built-in stylus, a feature that Samsung is now only providing for its luxe $1,200 Galaxy S22 Ultra. The phone has great battery life to boot. It all sounds great for the money, but there are some important details to keep in mind if you go with this phone.

Motorola sells the Stylus 5G unlocked with a roomy 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. It also includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chip, which is generally more powerful than the MediaTek one included in the $300 4G-only Moto G Stylus from earlier this year. Its 5G support includes sub-6 and C-band frequencies. A Verizon version will also support millimeter-wave 5G.

All this makes the phone fit right in with midrange rivals such as the $450 Galaxy A53 and last year's $449 Pixel 5A with 5G. But unlike Samsung and Google, which both commit to years of software updates, Motorola only promises one major software update to its G line of phones. This means that while the Stylus 5G is shipping right now with Android 12 and will eventually get Android 13, you'll only receive three years of security updates instead of any additional feature upgrades.

Motorola says this could be a perk, offering stability and consistency with its menus and interface. But even if you buy a cheaper phone, you shouldn't have to sacrifice updates because you probably want it to last as long as possible.

This makes the Moto G Stylus 5G worth considering if you want to hold onto the phone for two or three years, but it's a tougher sell if you want a phone that'll be viable for longer. It has many of the best Android 12 features, including the option to customize menus to your favorite color, and a long-lasting battery. And if a stylus is important to you on top of that, this phone could be the best pick for you.

The Moto G Stylus 5G has a few different apps optimized for the stylus.

Tall phone with a big battery

The Moto G Stylus 5G is a tall and thin phone, making it easy to hold and even text with one hand. I'm normally a fan of phones with screens longer than 6.5 inches because it's easier to watch videos and read. But the shape of the phone leaves its top half exposed, which would make it easier for a thief to snatch if you're not paying attention.

I can alleviate this by using the stylus and the phone's handwriting recognition keyboard instead, which gets me a better grip on the body. Yet that comes at the expense of speed and accuracy compared to touch typing and autocorrect. Putting the phone in a case paired with a PopSocket, or something similar, could also help with that safety concern.

Otherwise the screen is great for watching and reading content, especially since it provides the option to boost the refresh rate up to 120Hz. Motorola also provides options for using a dynamic refresh rate depending on how you're using the phone or a 60Hz option, both of which consume less power on the battery.

The Moto G Stylus 5G has a 5,000-mAh battery.

Yet with a beefy 5,000-mAh battery inside, the phone easily made it through a few full days of heavy usage with 120Hz on at all times. I watch a lot of YouTube, play games, take video calls, capture photos and videos and even on my longest day it still had 30 to 50% capacity when I was ready to go to bed. I averaged just over 3 hours of screen time each day but with less intensive usage patterns I'm sure the phone could easily last well into a second day.

While all that extra power is great, it's worth noting that the Stylus 5G does charge more slowly than rival phones. You get a power adapter -- something that's disappearing from most phone boxes lately -- but it's a 10W charger with a USB-A to USB-C cable. Motorola said that you can use a different power adapter with the phone, but the maximum speed it can charge is 15W. By comparison the Galaxy A53 also has a 5,000-mAh battery and can charge at up to 25W, but you need to buy a power adapter separately. When I ran the Stylus 5G down to 0%, it took roughly 2.5 hours to charge it up to 95% using the included charger.

Shockingly, there's a headphone jack included, something that's practically nonexistent for phones in this price range. Motorola includes Dolby Atmos, which can be applied to specific headphones and speakers that you connect.

Stylus features are nice, but lack impact

The Moto G Stylus 5G includes a stylus, but the best thing about it is its dedicated slot in the phone. When you remove the stylus, you'll see a menu of shortcuts including an option to take a screenshot to annotate, take a note or open a coloring book app. 

Motorola is also launching a Live Message feature, which lets you create an animated drawing and send it out through a favorite messaging app. I was easily able to make these, and send them to friends the way I'd send a GIF. My friends found the animations amusing but this isn't something I'd do every day.

The stylus is neat, but it's hard for me to imagine using it on a regular basis. If you need to sign a digital document, it's now easy to get that done with a service like DocuSign, Microsoft Office or Google Docs. Unless you absolutely need a stylus, you'd be better off considering the sub-$500 phones that don't include one. 

The Moto G Stylus 5G has a 50-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor camera.

Stable photography

The biggest improvement on the Moto G Stylus 5G over last year's version is with the inclusion of optical image stabilization. This reduces hand shake while taking photos, helping prevent motion blur.

The main 50-megapixel camera on the back of the phone is accompanied by an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel depth sensor camera. On the front is a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

I took the phone to a dog park, where I needed to move quickly to get photos of the puppies. I shot plenty of great dog photos, including of my friend's dog Mel who got particularly aggressive with a football toy.

I also took the phone to a Korean barbecue restaurant as well as to a karaoke night, where I used the phone's Night mode to help capture more detail in darker indoor settings. It captured all of the details of the meal, but at the theater the results were more saturated. There's a noticeable blur on objects that were farther away.

The front-facing camera also captured a lot of detail while I made faces at the camera.

Video isn't the phone's strong suit. You can choose between 30 and 60 frames per second, but otherwise it's limited to 1080p for capture. Last year's Stylus 5G includes 4K video recording, so I was surprised that feature didn't stick around. 

The footage I took at the dog park was OK, but wasn't particularly detailed even in good lighting. I wouldn't expect to capture anything more than short video clips that could be shared with friends or family.

Limited software support hurts an otherwise good phone

Even though the phone's stylus, good photography, larger screen and higher refresh rate all recommend it, it's hard for me to ignore Motorola's commitment to just one major Android update.

I used a Moto Z2 Play as my personal phone back in 2018. When it developed bugs, the slower software updates meant I couldn't be confident those issues would be resolved.

Motorola pledges security updates for three years, which will at least make sure the Stylus 5G isn't vulnerable to most malicious threats. But Samsung pledged to support Galaxy A phones for four years while Google gave the Pixel 6 three years of software updates and five years of security updates. Motorola is woefully behind in comparison.

Unless you crave the stylus and want a phone for $500 or less, I suggest waiting a few more weeks until after Google I/O. It's rumored Google will announce a cheaper Pixel 6A, possibly in the $450 to $500 price range. Motorola's $400 Moto G 5G, sans stylus, will also launch in the coming weeks. Once those phones are released, we'll have a better overall idea which is the best phone in this price range.

9 Tips to Help Your Baby Enjoy Baths

9 Tips to Help Your Baby Enjoy Baths

Bath time with your baby can go one of two ways. It's either a sweet time to bond and have your child explore the sensory sensation of water, or it's a tear-filled challenge. But just because bath time is hard now doesn't mean it'll always be stressful. By making some adjustments -- such as picking the right tub, temperature and time -- you can help your baby actually enjoy baths. 

We rounded up nine helpful tips to help make bath time a pleasant experience for your baby.

Read more: Baby Bath Time: How to Bathe Your Newborn Baby

Tip 1: Keep your baby warm during the bath

Your baby's body loses heat four times faster than your own. And because you're not going to submerge them in water, bath time can make your baby chilly and uncomfortable. 

If you're sponge bathing your newborn, you can keep them wrapped in a towel except for the part you're actively cleaning.

Once they graduate to a baby bathtub, it gets a little trickier. You shouldn't have them in more than a few inches of water, but that leaves their tiny body exposed to the air. Warm your bathroom up to about 75 degrees Fahrenheit and make sure you're gently splashing the bathwater over your baby throughout. You can also drape a warm washcloth over them and periodically submerge it in the bathwater to keep their temperature up. 

All this might make you want to use hot water, but that isn't the best idea. Water doesn't have to be very hot to burn your baby or dry out their skin. The temperature should feel warm, not hot, when you test it on the inside of your wrist. If you have a bath thermometer, it should read 120 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. 

Tip 2: Bathe your baby only a few times a week

Until your baby gets mobile, they don't need a daily bath. The experts at the Mayo Clinic say that bathing your baby three times a week is probably enough. More than that can irritate your baby's delicate skin, making bath time less enjoyable for them. 

That means you don't need to force bath time if your baby isn't in the mood. If they're tired, hungry or just grumpy, you can skip the bath that day. As long as you thoroughly clean their diaper area every time they need to be changed, they should stay clean enough for another day.

Tip 3: Get prepped before you start bath time

You should never leave your child alone in the bath. Babies can drown even in small amounts of water. Plus, leaving them alone can make the bath feel scarier. 

Before you run the water, make sure you have everything you need:

• Washcloths
• Gentle baby soap and baby shampoo
• Bath toys, if your baby's old enough to enjoy them
• Their baby bathtub, if applicable
• Towels to dry them off
• A clean diaper for afterward

The last thing you want is to have to run to the next room because you forgot something. But if you do, make sure you bring your baby with you (wrapped in a towel so they don't get cold). 

Tip 4: Use soap sparingly during the bath

While you might have images of a bath filled with bubbles, skip it. Not only can excess soap irritate your baby's skin, but it can also lead to urinary tract infections. Instead, stick with a few drops of baby-safe soap or shampoo to clear away any grime. 

Your baby's skin probably won't need any lotion afterward, but you can talk to your pediatrician if you notice dry skin. Just remember that anything you introduce onto your baby's skin can upset its delicate balance.

Tip 5: Make the bath part of your baby's routine 

Your baby might feel more comfortable in the bath if you make it part of their routine. Some parents choose to integrate bath time into the bedtime routine, for example, using it to soothe their babies as they ready them for bed.

You don't have to make a hard-and-fast rule about when to bathe your baby. If they're fussy one night, it's OK to try again the next morning. Forcing bath time can make them dislike it even more. 

Tip 6: Have fun during baby bath time

If your baby seems to like the water, use bath time as playtime. Splash around gently and let them play in the water, too. If you end up staying in the bath for a while and need to add more warm water, run the cold first to avoid scalding your baby and make sure you add warm, not hot, water. 

Once your baby starts playing with toys, you might want to introduce them to the bath to make it more fun.

Tip 7: Use the right tub for your baby

To set you both up for an enjoyable bath, get the right type of tub for them.

While they have their umbilical stump, this means no tub at all. Your baby should only get sponge baths.

Once the umbilical area has healed, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using a safe, sturdy bathtub without a fabric or mesh sling. This will give your baby the support they need while freeing up your hands to gently wash them, keep soap out of their eyes and see to their needs. 

When your baby can sit up on their own, you can use a full-sized bath, but only fill it up a couple of inches. 

Ruslan Dashinsky/Getty Images

Tip 8: Don't rush through bath time

If you're stressed during bath time, your baby can sense it. If you feel rushed, consider postponing the bath to the next day. 

Bath time should be an opportunity for you and your baby to bond, maybe even playing together in the water. If you have to hurry through it, you're both going to have a less enjoyable time. 

Tip 9: Make your baby comfortable after the bath

How good does it feel to get out of the shower and wrap yourself in a big, fluffy towel in a warm room? Your baby will enjoy that sensation, too. 

Right after the bath ends, put a towel around them and use a second towel or washcloth to gently pat them dry. Don't forget to get inside any folds and rolls. Have a clean diaper and clothes, pajamas or a robe handy to get them back into something to keep them warm and comfy after their bath.

Asus ZenWiFi AX Mini mesh router review: Too inconsistent to recommend

Asus ZenWiFi AX Mini mesh router review: Too inconsistent to recommend

With multiple devices relaying a stronger, more reliable signal from room to room, mesh routers promise a better Wi-Fi experience at home, and you've got a lot of new options available that support 802.11ax, or Wi-Fi 6, the newest and fastest generation of Wi-Fi. One of those the Asus ZenWiFi AX Mini, an attractive, compact system that sells in a three-pack for $280.

A smaller, less powerful, less expensive version of one of our favorite Wi-Fi 6 mesh routers, the ZenWiFi AX Mini is designed to bring your home network up to speed without taking up too much room on the shelf. Available in black, white, or a fancy woodgrain variant, the cube-shaped, minimalist design looks great, and with a cost that's less than you'd spend for a three-pack of Google's Nest Wifi mesh router, which doesn't support Wi-Fi 6 at all, the price seems right, too.

Ry Crist/CNET

All of that said, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for your next home networking upgrade. In my at-home tests, the ZenWiFi AX Mini was all over the map, with strange performance drop-offs that affected multiple devices and a mesh that routed my connection through the extender when it shouldn't have, causing speeds to come crashing down even at close range. This is an attractive little mesh router, but you'll find better performance at a better price if you shop around.

Ry Crist/CNET

A good first impression

There are lots of routers that take a minimalist approach to design, but that approach often leaves you with a bland, cheap-looking gadget. The ZenWiFi AX Mini steers clear of this trap with a quality build that looks great without commanding much attention. It's not the router for you if you want a full array of LED indicator lights or a lot of spare ports to play with, but if you just want something simple and elegant that doesn't take up much space, then you'll likely be happy with what you get here.

Roughly the size of a Rubik's Cube, each ZenWiFi AX Mini node is a dual-band AX1800 device, which means that it supports 802.11ax, or W-Fi 6, and that the top wireless speeds of the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands add up to approximately 1,800 megabits per second (1.8 gigabits per second). You can only connect to one of those bands at a time, so the true top speed is 1,200Mbps, which is the top speed on the faster 5GHz band. 

Packed inside each pint-size device is a pair of internal antennas, as well as 256MB of Flash memory and 256MB of RAM. That's pretty much on par with other entry-level mesh routers, and less horsepower than you'll find in fancier gaming routers or tri-band systems.

The Asus Router app will walk you through the setup process.

Screenshots by Ry Crist/CNET

Ease of setup

Unlike some mesh routers, where every device in the system is fully interchangeable, the ZenWiFi AX Mini features a designated router with the Ethernet WAN port that connects to your modem and a spare Ethernet LAN port. The other two devices look identical, but they lack the WAN port. Asus helps avoid confusion by wrapping the main router device in a plastic band that says "Start to setup," complete with a QR code that links to the router's Wi-Fi network. Just plug the router into your modem and into power, wait a bit for it to boot up, and scan the code to connect to its network. 

From there, you'll want to use the Asus Router app on your Android or iOS device to finish setting things up. You'll pick your network's name and password, you'll establish your admin credentials with Asus, and you'll wait a few minutes for the system to optimize. Then you'll plug the satellite nodes in and wait for them to automatically join the mesh. It's all very easy, but I'd caution that the Asus app isn't quite as streamlined as similar apps from names like Eero, TP-Link or Nest, all of which do a slightly better job of idiot-proofing the setup process.

The ZenWiFi AX Mini (purple) wasn't a performance standout, with average speeds that lagged behind much of the competition.

Ry Crist/CNET

Scatterbrained performance

I spent a few days taking the ZenWiFi AX Mini for a test drive at my home in Louisville, Kentucky, a 1,300-square-foot shotgun-style house with a 300Mbps fiber connection where I've been testing home networking gear for the past few years (you can read all about how we test Wi-Fi routers here). The system held up fine for regular usage, but a close look at the speed test results reveals that the router was selling my connection short.

For starters, the system struggled with the same "sticky client" issues that I've seen plague a number of mesh routers, including other, similar dual-band Wi-Fi 6 models like the Eero 6 and the Netgear Nighthawk AX1800. In simpler terms, the mesh didn't do a great job of routing my signal. If I moved from the front of my house where the router sits to the back of my house, it would recognize the change and begin routing my connection through the extender, which is fine. However, if I connected to the network in the back of the house and then moved to the front, the system would often fail to stop routing my connection through the extender even though it wasn't necessary anymore. My laptop was "stuck" to the extender, or at least, its connection was. 

Each dot in this chart is an individual speed test result for the ZenWiFi AX Mini. Ideally, you'd see lots of overlapping dots as high on the chart as possible, but persistent slowdowns and mesh issues made for a more chaotic result.

Ry Crist/CNET

Connecting through the extender means that your Wi-Fi signal is making an additional jump on its way to the cloud, which slows things down. In my case, speeds up close to the router in the living room fell from a near-perfect average of 297Mbps when I connected in the living room to an average of 252Mbps when I connected in the back of the house and then moved to the living room.

The ZenWiFi AX Mini's average speeds also suffered from strange slowdowns that affected multiple devices at multiple points during my tests. For every router I test, I run full sets of speed tests throughout my home in the morning, afternoon and evening hours. The morning tests were normal, but by afternoon, something had changed, and I was seeing speeds no higher than 180Mbps or so in my living room, where I can usually connect at speeds slightly above my ISP limit of 300Mbps.

The slowdown persisted throughout the whole home, and on multiple devices, and didn't seem to be a larger issue with the network, so I rebooted the router. That fixed things -- but when the time came for my evening tests, the slowdown was back and I needed to reboot the router again. I ran some additional speed tests during subsequent days of tests and noticed additional slowdowns, as well.

None of those slowdowns cut my connection outright -- I was always able to browse, stream and surf on the network without interruption. Though I can't be entirely sure at this point, it seems like the sort of slowdown that you'd see with a sticky client issue, albeit a more dramatic and annoying one than I've seen with other mesh routers.

Ry Crist/CNET

The verdict

At $280, the Asus ZenWiFi AX Mini did an acceptable job of spreading a usable signal throughout my home, but issues with the mesh compromised my speeds, and that makes it tough to recommend. Even though it only comes with two devices instead of three, I'd still much rather have the TP-Link Deco W7200 running my network. That one adds in a tri-band design, which is key for optimizing mesh router performance, it boasts faster top speeds than the Asus and it essentially aced my performance tests, all while costing $50 less than the ZenWiFi AX Mini. 

If you're fixated on going with a ZenWiFi router, Asus has a tri-band version of its own called the ZenWiFi XT8 that also performed significantly better in our tests, as well as a more powerful dual-band model called the ZenWiFi XD6. Both of those would be a worthy step up from the mini-size XD4 system reviewed here.

How to Watch Apple's September Event: iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 Expected

How to Watch Apple's September Event: iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8 Expected

Apple's getting ready for a Sept. 7 event , which is very likely to be the moment we learn about the company's next iPhone line. 

The newest version, expected to be called the iPhone 14, is rumored to include an always-on display similar to what's on the Apple Watch now, allowing for constant glanceable information without ruining battery life.

Apple hasn't really said what it plans to announce at its event, only sending out a cryptic invitation to the press, with an Apple logo seemingly set in a night sky, suggesting potential camera improvements or last year's rumored satellite emergency calling. The image looks like something we might see from the James Webb Space Telescope, whose stunning photos have already begun changing how we view the cosmos since first being released earlier this summer. In its announcement, Apple included the teaser words "Far out."

The iPhone 14 launch will also mark the 15th year since the original iPhone's debut, in June of 2007. Back then, the device wasn't the sure hit it is today. Many tech industry watchers were enthusiastic about Apple's prospects of course, but it hadn't proven it can build reliable phone technology before then. It was also up against massive competitors such as Microsoft, Palm and Research in Motion, whose Blackberry devices ruled the business world at the time. Within a decade though, Apple -- as well as Google's popular Android software -- had bested all three companies.

While the iPhone will be a key product we see at Apple's event this year, and likely what most people focus their attention on, the company's expected to hold other events later this year with other devices to show off. Those include new Mac computers with upgraded chips and new iPads.

When is the Apple event?

Apple's online-only event will be Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. PT, which is 1 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. BST and 3 a.m. AEST. (Sorry, Australia.) Here's a handy time zone converter to help find what time it'll be where you are.

Where can I watch Apple's livestream?

You'll be able to stream Apple's event straight from the company's website. Meanwhile, we'll be reporting on the event live here at CNET.

What can we expect, besides the iPhone 14 launch?

Apple's digital events are fast paced and slickly produced. And even though Apple's now trying its hand at in-person events again as coronavirus pandemic-era health concerns slowly recede, the company still seems to be applying what it's learned about how to make its events more compelling. During its last event, the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, Apple held a livestream but then offered in-person demos for the press afterward.

LG Wing hands-on: Here's what it's like to actually use the weird swiveling phone

LG Wing hands-on: Here's what it's like to actually use the weird swiveling phone

These days, phones are either rectangular slabs with one straight screen or, in the case of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 or Motorola Razr 5G, they're slabs with flexible screens that open up. But the LG Wing is neither. Instead, it's a phone with two screens, one of which swivels on top of the other.

Yes, it's weird and yes, it's expensive at $1,000 on Verizon (UK and Australia pricing have not been released yet, but that converts to about £775 and AU$1,394). But the design isn't as crazy or pointless as it seems. After pushing through the initial learning curve, which does take some time, my experience with multitasking and recording video got a boost thanks to the Wing's unusual shape.

The LG Wing isn't for everybody, and LG knows this. Its bulkier design and potentially steep price will automatically lead to many people writing it off. Also, not all apps will accommodate the two screens. Nevertheless, I appreciate LG's willingness to try something different. Swivel phones aren't exactly new, even if they aren't around much anymore: The VX9400 from 2007, for instance, is an early example of an LG phone with a similar design, and I myself owned a beloved Nokia 7370, which featured a screen that swiveled out as smoothly as a switchblade comb. But LG has applied that design thoughtfully enough for this current era of phones.

Whether or not people are willing to pay to give its $1,000 vision a shot is the big question. While it's not impossible to sell an expensive handset amid a pandemic when everyone is more budget-conscious, as Samsung has shown with its Galaxy Note 20, it's certainly risky to do so. And LG's record of selling experimental phones isn't stellar. Its modular G5 from 2016 and curved G Flex from 2014 weren't exactly top sellers. But fitting "more screen in less space" is always appealing, and the LG Wing, at the very least, executes its own concept well. 

In the US the LG Wing will be available first on Verizon, then AT&T in the fall and T-Mobile -- all on their respective 5G networks. 

LG Wing design: Spin me right round

I spent time with a preproduction model and found that the LG Wing is a straightforward phone when it's closed. It has a 6.8-inch display, wireless charging and an in-screen fingerprint reader. But it's also missing a few things that other LG phones have. It doesn't have a headphone jack, which LG usually keeps, and it doesn't have a formal IP rating for water protection.

And while it's not as heavy and thick as the Galaxy Z Fold 2 when it's folded, the LG Wing is still thicker and heavier than regular phones. It's about a third thicker than most phones, not twice like I first assumed, because the top panel is thinner than the bottom.

The phone only opens in one direction, clockwise, so to open it single-handedly, it should be in the right hand. (I'm a left-hander and I thought mine was broken and stuck when I first tried to open it, but it wasn't.) The motion does require some carry-through with the thumb, and if I didn't slide it strong enough, the top display would stop short of clicking straight. But most of the time it rotated fine and the mechanism feels sturdy. While I didn't go buck wild trying to rip these two displays apart, I didn't feel like I needed to be any more careful with it than with any other premium phone. LG estimates that the phone is durable enough to survive 200,000 rotations over the course of five years. If you want more protection, LG is working on cases, but those will undoubtedly add more bulk.

LG Wing's 2 displays do double duty

Once the phone's open, you can do a variety of things in a variety of orientations. Multitasking is the most obvious benefit, like watching YouTube while looking up something on the web. If you're talking to a buddy over the phone and want to check your calendar to schedule a time to meet up, you can do that too. My favorite way to use it is having Maps display on the larger screen and music controls on the other one. This is especially useful in the car, when I want to skip tracks without fussing too much with the phone and taking my eyes off the road. Given the bulk of the Wing though, I suggest having a sturdy phone mount. When I found myself opening the same pair of apps often (Maps and Spotify, for instance), I paired them so they could launch quickly together.

When held upside down, the phone opens up different experiences for gameplay. I played the racing game Asphalt 9 this way, with the bigger screen displaying the main gameplay and the smaller one displaying a roadmap. I'm not convinced this was useful, though. Plus the phone is top-heavy when held upside down, so it was uncomfortable to hold the thinly edged display in my hands after a while.

Having two screens to navigate one app is interesting too. With messaging, for instance, I can view a large part of the conversation while texting. But as I mentioned before, not every app is optimized. For instance, I'd love to watch a YouTube video while reading comments on the other screen, but I couldn't do that on the phone. And if you don't want to use the bottom display much at all, it can be turned into either a trackpad to navigate the top display, or blacked out completely and used as a physical grip.

3 cameras and a gimbal

The Wing has three rear cameras: one standard camera and two ultra-wide cameras. One of the ultra-wide cameras has a gimbal inside, which is similar to the Vivo X50 Pro. Gimbals are used to stabilize and balance video even when you're moving around a lot. LG added a special Gimbal Mode with extra controls as well, so you can pan and follow your subject as they move. 

My video footage was steady, even as I was recording while walking quickly. Video looked more stable than the one recorded on the iPhone XS, which we happened to have on hand, and footage from the LG Wing lacked that pulsing effect the iPhone had too. When it came to picture quality though, colors were more true-to-life and objects looked smoother on the iPhone. On the front is a 32-megapixel camera embedded inside the phone and popup from out of the top edge when in use, which is a lot like the OnePlus 7 Pro, Vivo Nex and Oppo Reno 2. The selfies I took were bright, in-focus and clear.

Videographers may be interested in the suite of tools the LG Wing has, and Gimbal Mode adds an extra layer of control and creativity. Gripping the phone vertically while shooting horizontally also made it comfortable to shoot video. But if you're a casual video-taker, this isn't a must-have, and current iPhones and Pixel phones have excellent video stabilization features too. 

In bright, ample lighting the phone takes vibrant and clear pictures.

LG Wing's hardware and other specs

Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 765G chipset and a 4,000-mAh battery. Since I got a preproduction unit, I didn't conduct battery tests. Anecdotally though, the Wing had a decent battery life. With medium usage of both screens it was able to last a full day without charging.
