The Weekly Authority: LG Wing review, Samsung Galaxy S30 leaks, and more
The LG Wing was the device of the week for us. Not suggesting that it’s the phone you need to buy, you should read our LG Wing buyer’s guide to make that decision for yourself, but it’s a fun approach to a dual-screen phone. The swivel design creates a T-shape, which is a handy way to maintain an easy hand-hold while viewing content in landscape orientation, not to mention a great way to multi-task. We just wish it had beefier specs.
Popular News
Samsung Galaxy S30 leaks and speculation continue. As one of the most important phone lines in the Android market, many are looking to the Galaxy S30 to see what the next generation of “flagship” looks like. Under the hood, that could be little more than an iterative update from the Galaxy S20. Is it really better for the environment to skip a charger and other common accessories for new devices? Reports say Samsung will follow Apple and give it a try, don’t expect a charger or earphones in the Galaxy S30’s box.

Features & Opinion
As our OnePlus fans on the team have been scouring all the recent news from the brand, they’ve been just as excited about new devices as they have questions about some of the philosophy. In short, the question was asked: Is OnePlus already breaking promises with the Nord phones? For those that think Facebook is a blight on person data safety, should we be scrutinizing their other properties as harshly?
