Are you sure it has ois

Actually, I read that the reason for the matching teardrops was because they wanted to be absolutely sure that the color calibration would be absolutely 100% the same on both sides. Because if you think about it, even if they manufactured the screens at the same location, if they changed anything at all between the two screens, they would be manufactured at different times and there is no way to guarantee that both lots would be uniform 100%. So by running one screen size, every screen is pulled from the same lot to guarantee exact same parameters

"All the opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own" and that's why we love your videos!

I bought mine for Quad DAC. Only phone manufacturer to do that now. Registering same finger twice resolves sensitivity for fingerprint login.

Only from LG this one and then Realme also loaned me the X2. The others I bought and some loaned from retailer companies also.

Switched back to LG from Samsung last week for this phone - it's fantastic! Second screen option is really useful, but also great that with a double-tap it's off, or can be unclipped in seconds. Beware tho, it's a BIG, heavy phone, which doesn't bother me one bit, but worth pointing out. Only one charging adapter in box, which is a pity, so I ordered 2 more, to have in car & kitchen for whenever needed. I'm also a little worried about that glass on front cover.. I like the symmetry of the notch on both screens. Overall, very happy with it

@@notagain2856 Can't think of any bugs or issues, fingers crossed! I use a non-system keyboard (SwiftKey) which can be a bit odd at times on the G8X, I'm sure the LG one would be smoother. Battery life has been solid & really impressive, giving that it's powering two 6.4" displays! But you have to be realistic, for day's of prolonged use a topup will be needed at some point (or else turn off DualScreen) 2 months on, am I happy with it? Absolutely. Not even the S20ultra would tempt me away from this :-)

@notagain2856

4 жыл бұрын

@ Thank you for replying. Yeah, I agree that Swiftkey doesn't feel as smooth on my V35 too. But I still prefer it to the standard LG one due to many extra features such as Gif search. From my experience, LG is one of the better brands at battery optimization. Even with just a smallish 3300 mah battery, the V35 can last 1.5 days with medium use. From what you've said, I believe the G8X will be even better with the bigger battery and newer processor. LG is really not as far behind Samsung as most people think. The V35 is my first LG and I am already a fan.

As usual, great, detailed and honest review-even on a loan unit. Thank you Chris for staying away from the hype crowd-this is a rare thing these days. Happy New Year! PS I can only hope that LG releases a new Android One device with Android 10, Quad DAC plus 3.5" jack and decent specs.

The fact that the LG G8X ThinQ phone launched almost a year back and people are still talking about it proves how practical and innovative device this is. LG took a bold and risky step with the dual screen feature, however it managed to do it successfully. The dual screen feature of the phone is definitely the mail selling point of the phone and it sets it apart from all the other somewhat similar kind of phones in this segment.

Great video thank you so much

I am using Lg phones for 15 years,I am owner of nearly all G and V line phones along with legendary lg prada,ke 8oo,lg chocolate,cookie,optimus z,g flex….and I know everything about Lg phones.For optimal dac experience you need at least 32ohm or higher impedance headphones to truly feel and hear quad dac,you can cheat dac with another female 3.5mm jack for better sound.

The LG G8X ThinQ smartphone is one of its kind and with the Big Billion Day sale, it is one of the very few flagship phones that is available under 20k. The dual screen and the integrated gaming control pad on one screen while the other screen is reserved for all the action is a dream for every gamer.

Nice review...can we have a tips. N tricks session on this mobile

Great review, but a couple of important notes: AT&T, the main carrier offering this phone with the dual case, sold out of them by Cyber Monday (3 days after Black Friday). After that, because the fine print supposedly said "while supplies last", the new orders ship without the dual case, which they claim is sold simply as an accessory, and for $199.99. Most reviewers are still implying the dual screen is automatically included with the purchase, and it isn't. LG is claiming they left it up to the carriers as to whether they would include it or not, so if considering this fantastic game-changing phone, keep that in mind. Also important: to use the extra real-estate as part of the same screen, you need to add a third-party app from the Play store called "G8X Wide Mode" which will install the "Wide Mode" icon in the sub-drawer in Quick Settings (go to the pencil/edit icon in Quick Settings, look for the Wide Mode icon, and then drag it into the main Quick Settings screen). This will turn the phone into one large screen that has a thick bezel running down the middle -- whether portrait or landscape.

I have the normal G8X thinq since I missed out on the duel screen. I read reviews regarding extra screen that it weighs more, less durable and drains battery faster and compared to the other brands in duel screen it falls behind.

@@BlueDroneBlues I'm curious, what other brands have a "dual screen" and how does the G8X one "fall behind"? I have heard the V60 is now out, but at the end of last year I don't recollect anyone else made a dual screen. It's true it adds a bit of weight, but that is to be expected when you have what is essentially two phones, but the added weight is very minimal. It's really more like a folio case. And extremely durable. I put a matte screen protector on the front though because it's such a fingerprint magnet. Because it's over $150, AT&T allows it to be sold on the installment plan at their AT&T stores; $16/month for a year and it's paid off. So far it's been worth it, but not everyone's cup of tea.

had a LG G2 many years ago, it was such a good phone. 5.2" but really small bezels for its time, smooth case and these back buttons which worked soooo great! Would love to see LG bringing out a smaller size phone. Or just an updated version of the G2.^^ I think the pricing of the G8X will drop really fast as they have with their last models too. Don't know why they price it reasonable right at the start. As a consumer, such a big price drop feels always as the product is failing and gives it a bad image...

I own the LG G8X Thinq (not duel screen) sad I don't see one video on the NORMAL LG G8X Thin Q smartphone. So far I am loving it. This phone may not have the extra screen but I don't have the extra weight and have a better battery life. I think I'd be more worried about dropping the duel screen. Seems pretty 😎 otherwise. I am not really worried about the extra screen after reading other reviews comparing the LG G8X Thin q vs the other brands of duel screens. I do hope after everything is said and done whether you have duel screen or not. The value in less than 3 years don't drop to $100 bucks like the LG V-20 has. Which was the LG flag ship released in November 2016.

este celular esta espectacular me gusto esta informacion Gracias.

so how do you look like when you take a photo with this ? lill too much ? better pop it out of the case ? how fast and easy is to pop it out, take the photo and put it back ? any set to take a fast photo without opening the case (i have on mine doubleclick fast the "lower volume key") ?

I actually thought it was a kind of good reason for the teardrop

To people who own this phone, how do you take screenshots on this device? Would you get 2 screenshots on dual mode or can you choose which screen you want to capture?
