LG Wing leak, Zenfone 7 announced, and more tech news you need to know today
July 19, 2025
1. ASUS Zenfone 7 is here
The ASUS Zenfone 6 was one of the steals of 2019, with our review from last year finding incredible value at just $499 — quote: “if you want 90 percent of a flagship for 50 percent of the price, this is the phone to beat.”
Now, it wasn’t perfect, held back by an LCD display and left out things like water resistance to stay lean.
So, what’s good with thejust announced Zenfone 7, and new addition Zenfone 7 Pro?
2. LG Wing video leak
My colleagues were on the receiving end of a leak fromthe new LG Wing, an unusual and compelling device, with a twisty dual display.
