LG G8X ThinQ Unboxing: Dual Screens!

LG doesn't get credit for new innovative things they do. They were also the first ones to come out with ultra wide camera setup

[@simonweaver975]

Their marketing is dreadful so no one really notices.

They were also one of the first to introduce a separate second screen that works independently from the main screen (V10 & V20), which created a side notch even before Apple came up with it. They still have the best (quad-DAC) headphone jacks in the business for their flagships and one of the very few brands that actually still feature a headphone jack, period.

As I posted elsewhere, LG actually put WORSE cameras on the "updated" G8X than they did on the older G8. The selfie camera is better, yes, but the two cameras you're really going to use for photography are both worse. The light gathering on the G8's main camera was F1.5, which has been gimped to F1.8 in the G8X. The light gathering on the G8's secondary camera was F1.9, which has been gimped to F2.4 in the G8X. And the resolution on the secondary camera has been dropped from 16 megapixels in the G8 to 13 megapixels in the G8X.

[@dbird2997]

I think LG has a winner here. They pioneered the wide camera angle which has now become a mainstay and now they've made the dual screen capability easy and affordable. The Microsoft phone won't be out for another year so LG hopefully will be able to win over early adopters. They've really hit a good note with this price point. This is a way better deal with the dual screen, standard 128gigs of storage, headphone jack, and a wide camera angle than the pixel phones. I mean I can find more daily uses for a second screen than I can the ability take a picture of the stars. Thanks for showing off the phone Tim

Imagine the potential for gaming on a device like this! Just like you showed, you could have it in landscape mode and then have one screen with gaming controls and the other showing the game itself. As far as reading content and such, I get the feeling that the device would become too bulky after a while to hold and use. And that really wide bar between the two screens would get maddening. I feel like the dual screen functionality here will shine the most with each screen doing something discrete but at the same time related.

You could record in high quality WAV format, you could put a limiter, a wind cut filter, set the incoming source volume, and monitor all that directly from your headphones. You could also record on top of some existing recordings or songs. I would be EXTREMELY grateful if you could answer this question.

I had this phone for over a year and no problems.

[@TheTonester2312]

Seems like a winner. I'm addicted to using the pen for notes though.

[@Tigerex966]

you could still use a stylus on the touch screen, with a rubber tip, not as good as the note but doable.

[@TheTonester2312]

Very true. They should try and improve those general stylus's.

I like the way u advertise it u show u are impressed 😉

No doubt LG has done a lot of work for developing a phone like this. One thing i noticed is can we set the brightness of these displays independently or what if i played a song on one display and watch a video on other and how does the sound will be coming from the speakers

[@tokelobotsane5178]

Wow, I'm in awe, I love it.

I actually root for LG (sadly not much ppl give attention to it even though it always come up with things that are actually user-friendly) I owned a LG G Pro 2 (2014 phone, ancestor of the V series). It's probably one of the few phone that first came with floating apps AND dual app on screen (limited to certain apps only) before Android officially making it into a thing. It's also the first (at least from what I saw) that provide "back unlock" instead of the mainstream "side unlock", together with the volume control, which is a actually a very practical design as it goes with the natural position of finger when you grab your and try to unlock it/change volume (love that). It came up with a bunch of really useful built-in apps that I could save the time finding and downloading extra apps. E.g. a quick lanuching note-taking app (long holding vol+) which could be used at to do BOTH screenshot+quickly write notes on it AND plain notes like memo that you can draw/write on, a notebook app that allows you to write, insert pics, drawings and arrange notes like a real notebook, a build-in music player that not just automatically find lyrics online for you, and could allow you to rise/lower the tune of song. It also got features like "double tap to wake up the phone" (nearly the only one got that built-in in the market), quick calling apps from pull down menu, quick calling camera and note-taking app by long-holding volume up&down, single-hand mode (not Android built-in if I rmb correctly) etc. And more to that, it comes with a 3GB Ram, which although it's nothing now but is very rare back then when 2GB Ram even 1GB Ram are dominant. I brought it without much expectation but it turns out to be a big surprise and I was very satisfied with the phone at the end (still appreciate how practical the phone is). And although I didn't buy the following phones, LG still pretty much one of the first and few that got Hi-Fi and military grade in protecting against vibration (dropping). Those things may be common in the phones now, but it isn't in 2014. It pretty much got what should be done and done it long time ago. It may not really come up with thing that is spectacular and eye-catching, but it really has things that are user-friendly. It actually made my later phone not as surprising and attractive as it is even though it's newer (makes me sad for a while).

Love LG's innovation 😊

[@Phin_254]

I loud them for this great innovation, if it could be smaller it could be the very best out there

[@lmstar6846]

I've always used a wallet case for extra protection on my phones. Is there a optional covered case for this phone that will fit while its attached to the extra screen ?

[@TXT77T]

The walpaper is Amazing!

[@MehediHasanSizan]

Absolutely brilliant considering the price especially! this could be my next phone.

[@kurtbamz]

stupid people love this dumb design

[@kurtbamz]

@Otie Jason exactly don't forget the hand gesture they make

[@chrisrefaei]

very cool vid thanks for sharing info on this phone. I'm getting mine shipped over night today. Excited to try this out!! For those just finding out about this phone another cool feature other than the wide view for the camera which has been around for LG you can now zoom out even more while in wide mode and you get a fish eye lense. Pretty neat for those ultra wide pics!

[@iskanthea]

wondering, can you split the screen on both screens?

[@MissFoxie78]

I've talked with the phone tech I deal with, and yes screens can be split again, not sure if on both screens.

[@rengaramanujan]

Nice one and innovative flagship from LG

[@bheasy1]

I gotta have this phone! Been watching you since Evo rooting. Thank goodness for USA and capitalism, for all these neat choices =)

[@roachtoasties]

It looks cool, but now you have two phones to charge. If it has some sort of dual wireless charging, that would be more cool. That said, I don't own one, but prefer this to any of those foldable screen phones. A screen with a crease in the middle is just designed to fail. Hard, gorilla-type glass, is the way to go.

[@FunFreakeyy]

Nearly 25GB used on a fresh install? That's a lot of bloatware. Anyways, I like this double screen more than the foldables, especially at that lower price.

[@rednaltuoo]

bought it today, can't wait to receive it

[@RNRmedia2]

What's with the notch on the secondary display? Seems unnecessary.

[@parabina]

Colton Watkins Maybe it follows the main phone default frames? Yeah it does look annoying to have unnecessary notch. Hopefully its can be hide or remove via settings.

[@TheCutCartel]

they used the exact same screen as the phones uses = notch

[@RNRmedia2]

@@TheCutCartel I figured that. Very cheap of them.

[@elflaquitus]

Looks pretty impressive! I just bought it yesterday and I will try it to gaming

[@nocilantro_gack]

I love LG phones..I have used their phones for years...
