What? This phone is a pass??? Snapdragon 855, 6 GB of RAM, Quad DAC 3.5MM, 128 GB of storage, 12 and 13 MP rear facing camera with 4k video at 60 FPS, front facing 32MP with 4k video at 30 FPS, wireless charging 4, 6.4 inch QLED display with 403 PPI, expandable memory up to 2 TB, in screen fingerprint, as well as a huge 4000 MAH battery If this is a pass then you DEFINITELY need to say the same about the Pixel 4 as this phone has EVERYTHING and more than the pixel 4. Including it's 4000 MAH battery. This phone exceeds the iPhone 11 pro, and the note 10. $699.99 With the dual display case.

How is it performance and battery life?.. i m thinking it to buy

I just bought this LG phone coming from the s8.. I always wait for the right deal to get come out before I upgrade.. I have never purchased anything besides Samsung galaxy phones and was looking to upgrade to the note 10..it was a sprint representative that told me about this Lg phone and ultimately convinced me to jump the Samsung bandwagon... I will tell you, this Lg g8x is a much better phone. I am really enjoying it. The only thing I don't like so far is the market is slim on accessories like cases and screen protectors. I highly recommend the jump though. You will be amazed at the performance, zero lag, beautiful camera, the selfie picture is awesome. I am waiting on my dual screen to arrive in the mail, which was free with the purchase. But even without it I recommend it.

So the reason the front camera is higher quality is that if you use the dual-screen you will cover the back camera thus the front camera is now the main camera cause you can use the dual-screen to use the camera functions.

This is the 3 dual screen phone that LG brought out.. the first one was almost 15 years ago.. it was a great phone

Can you take separate screenshots on dual screen mode? What is screenshotting like? Maybe those with this phone can help?

I think it has a better feature set than the like sized iphone 11 MAX, and Samsung Note 10. Without the second screen. It lacks the pen functionality and brighter OLED, and telephoto lens of the note, and has less standard ram and storage, and the faster processor and telephoto and face id of the iphone 11 But even without the case attachment, it's notch is about the same size as samsung's "NOLE", but it has an sd card slot, and a headphone jack and flush cameras, and the same processor under neath. Over the iPhone it has double the storage and 2GB more ram, an sd card slot for more storage, quad dac and amp, the highest quality bluetooth codecs, LDAC So even without the dual screen attachment, it is a much better value then both in features, if you dont mind using manual modes it 's camera is just as good, but in automode, Google and apple and samsung have better automatic you do nothing modes. .I am glad they kept the quad dac, headphone jack, and sd card, most oled phones do not have those any more, and it is waterproof unlike one plus phones. for $700 it is like the deal of the century, really putting the Samsung S10 and iPhone 11 Max to shame in the value department although those do beat it in some ways like pen, face is. however if you consider the 2 screens together it has double the resolution and screen area of both, when you need it and about the same when you do not at 6.4 OLED, (slightly less bright), plus has an sd card and headphone jack, but less ram and storage than the Samsung Note 10, but mote than the iPhone 11 MAX, it also does not have a 2X telephoto, but has a better 32GB selfie cam. So it's all in what you value most.

I do wish more pro audio and video apps and games supported dual screen nodes, although there is a hack for that.

It's a 4*8 mega pixel splice, the notch I assume is because it's the same panel? (cheaper production). Korean 5g versions have up to 8gb and 256gb. Is the whale browser not available on Google play? I hope so, chrome works in wide mode too. I think the v50 hinge stopped in 3 places. Great unboxing though👍.

It's the same panel and that isn't to cut costs. It's because if they were different panels they would have slight differences in color and lighting. They learned that from the V50, which had the issue of the two displays having different colors.

The fully featured do it all phone cannot REMOVE features present in the previous gen of that line and the current gen of the Lower-end line. Unacceptable

The stylua support makes my phone an everything phone fr

to those saying the notch is because they are the same display and not for symmetry... first would you like the phone to be even more expensive? cause if they made another display for the second display it would be. Secondly there would be a whole other group complaining the displays aren't symmetrical.

Bruh I been went LG phones for as long as I can remember.. G3 I had two G3 phones cuz my first one malfunctioned.. I had three G5 phones cuz I broke my first and second and now I'm at the g8x dual screen.. I love the LG G-PHONES

How do i use one app on both screens???

OMG! I want a case like that made for my Note 10 Plus. Although Samsung would charge $1000.00 for the case unlike LG who is sending it to you for free with proof of purchase / lease.

Can you turn off the dual display and the front notification still work? Wondering for battery life and if you answer the phone and flip the front all the way back, so you won't accidentally open app while talking on the phone?
