Nice video comparing the 2 phones. What pencil do you use in your videos on the touchscreens ?

Thanks for review my LG!

@ JuanBagnell Good video. What's that stylus that you're using with this phone?

Hi Juan. I saw you using a stylus in your video and it seems to work very well. What's the name of it. I have purchased this phone a few weeks ago and I just love it although it's quite heavy. So many uses with that 2nd screen !!! So... Expecting an answer regarding the stylus ? Thanks

Was going to wait for your full review before purchasing but ended up purchasing anyway because I've been happy with the V20 and V30. Hopefully the next gen fixes that huge cut out on the back of the case and possibly a full screen on the front display. Basically I hope they keep working on premium dual case since the actual phone already has most features, maybe even a camera or battery into the dual case... Wow.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video it's not the same to read the difference that hearing them from someone who actually have used both phones

Hi Juan. Can you provide the name/model of that stylus you are using in the video ? Myself and other viewers are very interested.

Ok, I have to ask, what stylus was that you were using in this video while you were demoing the interface?

Awesome video

Straight to the point could not find simple answers anywhere until I found this video.

Trying to decide between the two - I like the better camera and physical fingerprint sensor on the G8 but I've seen a lot mentioned about the recorded audio quality being terrible. I tend to take a lot of video on auto so that's a bit of a dealbreaker. Do you know if there's a way to fix it or if it's been fixed, or would you recommend the G8X instead?

Hey I want to get a new phone for two years and I'm not sure which one to get; lg v50 or lg g8x. I wont buy the dual screen from the g8x just single one. But which would you recommend. Please help and thank you.

Hello there!! Love your videos! Got a few questions: I recently got my v40 stolen :( and I'm looking for a replacement. I was never a big fan of LG until V40 but now I don't think I'll buy from another one. I know I can get a G8 Korean version with 3 lenses for a decent price (I'm originally from Hong Kong, the capital of parallel trading of cell phones :p), can you confirm if its cameras are exactly the same as v50 as claimed by the store? Also you think I should wait for G9 (I know about the mid-high range it's designed to go for) or even the v60?

@SomeGadgetGuy

4 жыл бұрын

The hardware is similar, but the V50 is more powerful, so you get better performance for things like software stabilized 4K60 on the V50. The V40 can shoot 4K60, but not with stabilization. It's all pros and cons. If you can step up to a V50, it's a small but decent upgrade over the V40. The V60 is a VERY different animal for camera and display tech.

Hi, So, a couple of questions since you seem to have some love for LG. I do appreciate a positive spin in a review sometimes. I am curious about the build/durability of the phone and the case. It seems the case serves no purpose other than serving as the second screen. In addition, this phone is glass. I just went by Sprint today and their only model in-house was broken,( the glass back), when staff dropped it while setting it up. So how durable do you think this phone and the case are? It looks like it would need some form of additional protection. Thus, making it even more unwieldy and cumbersome.

@@Tigerex966 I don't think the dual-case was on. However, I went to another Sprint store and they had a problem with the dual-case screen this time also being broken in-house. So, two incidents, one broken screen on the phone itself and the other, a broken screen on the case. It doesn't look good... Especially, when broken by employees. Who you would 'assume,' are more careful. I know 'assume' is a big word. I still would like to hear from Juan regarding his opinion of the phone durability and how protective the case actually is.

I definitely love the Dual Screen aceesory for the G8X, much more practical than the Samsung Galaxy Fold or the Huawei Mate X. But since the G8X lacks native telephoto camera, I'm afraid my choice will go to the G8 since there is a triple wide/ultrawide/telelphoto camera option for the G8 and I frequently use telephoto way more than ultrawide.

Also I loved my G5 😂 the modular design had potential man lol, I loved the replaceable battery and being able to swap in the B&O HiFi DAC. Loved that phone if it wasn't for the HORRIBLE image retention

It probably gave LG more control over distribution funnily enough. If a carrier doesn't want to support or stock the case then you end up with a weird fractured version of the phone like the USA V50 vd Korean.

IF you were to choose LG G8X (without the duo screen case) or LG G8?

I'll change from my LG v35 to G8X. I was between g8x and v50 but usa version is not compatible with dual screen. I hope that g8x will be a good upgrade from my v35

Well said. I hadn't considered that reason for why they switched to an in display. Ergonomic consideration ftw. fingerprint sensor. It's like reviews and comparisons are supposed to be more than what you get by staring at a spec sheet for half an hour. That's how you do options instead of just: but what if it was a bit smaller. For me, although the multitasking is enticing, that resolution, fingerprint sensor and unlock options (including air motion, believe it or not) draw me to the G8.

Hi Juan This message is for all interested in using a stylus with the LG G8X. I found a stylus named VITAL ALUMINIUM which I purchased at THE SOURCE STORE in Canada for a very cheap price of 5.75$ taxes included. It doesn't look like the one on the video. Though it has a rounded rubbery tip , It does react very well with both screens and is pressure sensitive !! YES !!! No battery needed. And it works very well with popular drawing apps like Art rage, Sketchbook and Painter . I was used to the telephone line of Samsung Notes and this LG G8X will be a no regrets replacement. Hope this will be a helpful tip...

I bought an unlocked G8X from Best Buy and it's currently not able to activate through Sprint. So if you plan on doing the same, beware!
