This review literally made me get this phone thank you Juan!!!

Best review of this unit yet! It checked every box I wanted in a phone since I can't get any good HTC phones on Sprint anymore. That's the aftermath of those who only wanna talk about and praise Samsung and iPhone. I'm glad I have it. I'm also annoyed by those knock off "dual screen attachments" that show up on social media feeds claiming they can go to any phone. Scammers.

I really liked what you said in the last part of the video! That shud thing.

I love your impartial reviews of everything. I've heard so many people start off their review on this phone just bashing it before highlighting everything it does well. It's a shame. Thank you for restoring my confidence in this sector. 😘

We are upgrading today from our G7's - I had a G5 first and we love our LG phones! They can have their iPhones and it's lil emoji's I can get more work done with this phone. Can't wait to see the dual screens! Good review and thanks!

Great video man, your videos are the reason I bought an LG G8 and I love it. I switched from a galaxy s10

I'm pretty new to your channel and I can't even express how satisfying it is to watch your recent tech videos. What a breathe of fresh air. It has become nauseating to watch video after video of a single product and hear nothing but regurgitating of the same exact info and specs almost verbatim to the last "review". We are seeing less and less constructive and actual useful information for the possible would-be consumer about using the products and instead we're fed the same hive mind bullshit and reading of spec sheets. This is very refreshing in the current state of tech reviews. Keep doing what you're doing.

Still on my V20, love the phone. And I'm between this or a V40/50. I'm really gonna miss the IR. And still work great, only problem been that the second battery bloated so much it pooed the screen out on one side. Tho the screen is undamaged. So it just have some tape between the screen protector and the phone, making sure if it pops the other side screen doesn't fall.

Juan I just got this phone a week ago and I man I love of the features and the multitasking is great😊😊😊

Bold , Honest and true to point review . Thanks for the review man . I hope many techtubers are like you .

Always enjoy your reviews brother, miss your camera reviews, not trying to say anything i know i can pay to watch them :) God bless. this LG is my favorite device this year by far until the MS dual screen device is launched there will be no competition , and right now it will fit my needs and will save me from carrying 2 phones all day long .

Frek yes man speak on the little guys!!! So hard to get a solid LG review

again the best man on earth to do the full deep dive you didn't miss anything to cover , man I wish I could find the G8 korean variant in my country

This was a great review. Thanks for an unbiased "real" review. Just ordered it this morning on Amazon. This phone is now $650 with same day shipping. Can't wait to get it and try it out.

Thank you, I was waiting for this review of yours! The power button is hard to reach? Weird question I know, but I'd go for the standard G8 if it was available in my country, but it's not. And here it seems they moved it higher on the frame.

I'm insanely glad you actually review phones instead of just doing the same ol same ol. I've said it before, you are the reason I bought the v20. Because of that I also bought the v40 and g8. I have yet to be disappointed outside of battery life (the g8 is actually good).

I seriously consider to buying the G8X but here in Greece where I live LG had stopped to bring her smartphones official since almost 4 years.. And now the only way to buy LG phones straight from Greece is by resellers..and costs 900€ bundled with second screen which is very pricey for me..so I decided to buy LG V40 new for 357 euros which I have been wanting since it was announced and waiting for the G8X to drop it's price.

I am not worry about selfies, but about video calls. Would hate to have the camera focusing on the background rather than my face during a work call.

Just ordered this and I'm excited to go back to Lg! I had G flex and G pro 2. I like big phones but disappointed when they released G flex 2 and no successor to the G pro 2.

As a fellow fan of lg devices (I currently have the v30s+ and the g6), would a regular g8 with the second screen option be a better overall phone to the g8x? Or does the g8x do the second screen thing better? I really enjoyed your videos on this device.

The LG G8X, does it have the Swipe and Home Gesture Button? Found by accident on a LG Stylo 5 taken a little to get used wouldn't use anything else love it just 1 button that does so much.

Would love to have seen a pen added somehow. Better software and security updates also!

Yeah I did begin to notice on my G8 that is said adaptive charging with a shield indicator in the battery. At least it gives you a toggle to just turn fast charging on though and it doesn't do it all the time lol It's normally a thing after I'm gaming heavy on it then plug it in I do wish if that's why it would automatically toggle fast charging on when the phone cools down but it ain't a big deal lol.
