The Weekly Authority: LG Wing review, Samsung Galaxy S30 leaks, and more

June 20, 2025

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 ourLG Wing buyer’s guideto 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.

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.

Looking at the industry at a larger scale, we’re excited to see thatHUAWEI can allegedly buy Samsung display panels now (but not chipsets). We’re also happy to see some progress from Sony, but is it enough –Is Sony’s smartphone business finally turning a corner?

There were a few watches, an award winning vacuum, and more on our test bench this week. There was even an Android phone in the group.

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?
