It looks like LG isn’t done experimenting.
At the very end of its LG Wing virtual event Monday, the company teased a slide-out device of some sort, presumably a smartphone (via Cnet).
In the short clip at 1:05:37 in the Wing presentation (below), we get a side view of the device, ending with a very short flip to reveal its display.

The teaser ends with the tagline “Hold your breath” and “LG Explorer project,” so it’s fair to assume that whatever’s shown in the video is coming fairly soon.
LG Wing’s radical dual display design has shown that LG isn’t afraid to try something new, and that phone, too, is part of the company’s Explorer project.
In fact, a slide-out phone wouldn’t necessarily be as experimental as some of LG’s earlier projects (remember the modular LG G5 and its Friends?). However, absent any details about the device, we’ll have to wait a while to see what this new device is about. It’s not without precedent: TCL has had a slide-out concept phone since February, and, while it’s not exactly the same, we’ve seen phones with slide-out cameras before.
