If you liked our review, please subscribe for more upcoming reviews- videos, LG g8x. Thank you review LG reckons two screens are better than one the LG G 8 X 10 Q is the latest attempt from the South Korean firm to take advantage of our multitasking tendencies, while also trying to get a jump on the Samsung Galaxy fold in Huawei, mate X by offering up a sort of hybrid foldable phone announced at IFA.2019 is the second handset from the firm 2-pack LG dual screen technology, but things have been refined for the g8x thing, cube, making it a more attractive and usable feature over the v50 think you. The attachable dual screen case is thinner and lighter has a screen which matches the display on the g8x, think you and has another smallest screen on the front. However, the LG dual screen may not be included by default, so you may find yourself having to purchase it separately depending on availability in your region.

Dual screen: support aside the LG g 8 X 10 Q is a flagship phone which builds on the LG G 8 in some ways, but takes a step back in others. We've spent some hands-on time with the new LG smartphone. To give you an early preview of what to expect. We currently don't have the LG G 8 X Thank You price. As we were told, it was still being discussed when we asked during our briefing about the handset.

However, it most closely resembles the LG v 50 thin q5 G, which is one of the pricier options on the market right now, and we expect the g8x think you price to be similarly steep, we're also in the dark when it comes to the LG G 8 X 10 Q release date with LG, telling that the handset will be available before the end of year, but offering no further information for now. Once we know more about the release date and price, we'll update this video when it comes to the design of the LG G 8 x, think you, there isn't much difference between it and its predecessor, the LG G 8. There are a couple of differences of note, though. Firstly, LG has greatly reduced the size of the notch, at the top of the display, freeing up space for additional notification, icons and generally providing a more pleasing, aesthetic flip the handset over in the sleek all-glass rear of the LGG 8x. Think you doesn't have a fingerprint scanner interrupting it.

Instead, LG has shifted the digit reader to the front under the display allowing for an uninterrupted rear. Even the dual cameras and flash are flush with the body of the phone. It looks and feels premium, and it's its relatively well in the hand it doesn't feel quite as comfortable as the Huawei P30 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S 10 plus, however, as its rounded edges, don't allow it to nestle as firmly in the palm is the tapered curved edges of its rivals like these rivals and most flagship smartphones these days, the front and rear glass sandwich a metal frame and don't provide a huge amount of grip. However, with an IP 68 rating, it is dust and water resistant, and it also boasts military-grade durability. So hopefully it will be able to survive a little of rough and tumble.

Another new feature for the g8x think you is the inclusion of perfectly balanced stereo speakers at top and bottom for improved stereo audio output. We were unable to test this during our hands-on time, but we'll fully assess them during our full review. Something some will be happy to learn is the fact this handset still comes with a headphone jack, allowing you to plug in a traditional set of headphones without the need for an easily lost or forgotten adapter. A six point: four inch OLED display dominates the front of the g8x, think you with a tall 19.5, 9 aspect ratios, but only a full, HD plus resolution. That means this new handset has a lower resolution display than the g8 and v50, both HD, which some may find disappointing.

The good news is, the display is still bright and vibrant making for an easy on the eye experience, and we didn't notice any quality issues with it. However, for those who watch films or play graphically intensive games on their handset, the lower resolution may be a slight turn off. The real attraction. Here, though, is the option to pair the g8 think you with the LG dual screen cover instantly, doubling the amount of screen real estate you have to play with. In fact, you technically take the screen count up to three with the display cover, as it also features a small two point: one inch dot matrix display on its front, so you can see the time date, notification, icons and caller ID.

When it's closed, it's a handy addition, although the super reflective finish, LG has given the front of the cover, which is a fingerprint magnet paired with a slightly dim display setting meant it wasn't always the easier to read, especially in sunlight, open. The cover-up, however, and you're greeted by two identical displays. That's because the LG dual screen cover boasts the same six point four-inch full HD, plus OLED display as the g8x it even has its own notch, although no camera in it. However, unlike the foldable galaxy fold in mate X, this isn't one big display. You very much get two separate displays with a sizable amount of bezel between them.

That doesn't mean you can't use them together, though, there are a variety of use cases for this dual screen setup and LG demoed, a few of them for us. A nice example is gaming as any app on the Play Store, which currently supports game pad input can take advantage of the on-screen LG game pad. This allows you to run the game in landscape on the top screen, the one that's part of the cover, while the bottom screen, the one of the LG G 8x is dedicated to controls, it means on-screen controls and your thumbs don't get in the way of the action. Another example is using the secondary display as a viewfinder, allowing you to tilt the LG G 8x up or down, to get a different perspective to your shots, while still having a perfect view of What's in frame a feature we liked is the ability to have a chosen app automatically launched on the second screen. Every time you open the cover, if you're into your smartphone photography, you could opt to have the camera app launched each time you open the dual screen cover.

It means you'll always be ready to take a snap while still having the complete smartphone experience available to you on the main display. When it comes to generally using the LG G 8x think you, you can load two different apps one on each screen for ultimate multitasking great, if you're watching a movie, but also want to use a messaging app. For example, the case has a 360 degree hinge allowing you to fold it all the way back effectively putting the second display on the rear of the handset. Although you use cases in this particular scenario are limited, the LG dual screen cover still adds considerable size and weights. It adds 134 grams and 14.9 millimeters of thickness to the g8x. Thank you, even though its design has been slimmed down and made lighter from the one which came with the V 50.

You can't use the v50 dual screen with the g8x and vice versa. It's not something you'll easily slide into your pocket or necessarily want to carry around for an extended period of time. Of course, you can easily remove the cover four times when you don't want to need the flexibility of two screens. However, constantly switching between having the cover on and off makes us worry about something else. The second screen gets all its data and power from the LG G 8x think you via the USB-C port.

This means the cover has a USB-C connection, sticking out of it, which you need to engage with the phone. It seems like a potentially weak point of the design and constantly yanking it in and out could see the connection, and/or port wear down over time. It's something we all monitor when we get the g8x in for review. Lg has resisted the current trend of loading up the rear of a flagship smartphone with three four or even five cameras with the g8x think you arriving with a more reserved dual camera, offering the main one 2 MP sensor is joined by an ultra-wide one, 3 MP snapper, a common setup with LG having offered a standard, an ultra-wide combo on a number of previous flagships, including the g8 thin q, g7, thin q and LG g6. A variety of additional features have been packed into the camera, though, to keep budding photographers interested an eye.

Action shot is able to detect the movement too fast-paced subjects and adjust shutter speed and ISO for a clear shot, while the new ASMR video recording feature looks to take advantage of the YouTube trend by upping microphone sensitivity by 10 decibels. Other camera features include a portrait both mode, a Steadicam mode which comes with impressive-looking, will put it to the test in our review. Stabilized video captures similar to action. Cam, footage and 4k time-lapse. Video recording, as we've mentioned already, the second screen display option, provides you with an angled viewfinder, giving you more flexibility when it comes to creative capture, but we found the dual screen case, provided a simpler but really useful function, fire up the camera app on one of the displays, snap, a picture, and it will be instantly shown on the other screen.

There's no tap required to open it, and it means the camera app remains open and ready to snap more photos. While you review your shot simultaneously, selfie lovers should also happy as the LGG 8x think you comes with a 3 2 MP front-facing camera, which should be able to produce instagram-worthy snaps. We only had a short amount of time with the LG G 8x. Thank you during our hands-on look at the handset, but we were able to snap some side-by-side photos with it in the highway P30 Pro. There wasn't a huge amount to pick between the results from both camera phones, but the P30 Pro did have a slightly better level of detail in color.

More testing in our review process is required before we can make a final judgement on camera quality, though the LG G 8x think you comes with Android 9 onboard and runs LG's brand-new UX 9.0 interface, which is lighter brighter and generally more accessible than the company's previous interface. And yes, there's a dark mode option too. An example of that accessibility is that if you swipe down from the notification bar and then again to expand the quick settings menu, it will position the toggles further down the screen, making them easier to hit when using the phone one-handed apps loaded quickly, as we'd expect considering the LG G 8x think you has catkins flagship, snapdragon 855 chipsets under the hood paired with 6 gigabytes of RAM. This gives you plenty of mph and keeps it in line with the likes of the Sony Opera, One and v50. Thank you.

The interface also works well across both displays when the g8x think you is used alongside the dual screen cover with some apps able to take advantage of both screens. At the same time, examples include the gallery app showing photo thumbnails on one side and a single image enlarged on the other messaging app splitting conversation streams in a landscape, keyboard and LG's own blue whale internet browser providing open tabs on one side and or current tab on the other, there's also 128, gigabytes of storage, providing plenty of space for your apps games, photos and more. But if that's not enough, you can expand on that with a micros card. Lg has squeezed a sizable 4,000 William hours battery into the g8 X, think you, and it supports both fast charging and wireless charging. Ensuring top-ups should be hassle-free.

The LG G a text in queue is a flagship smartphone that doesn't follow the usual norms of high-end, handsets its dual screen party piece certainly makes it stand out from the crowd. It does have some interesting use cases. However, it could well add additional cost to the device we're still waiting to hear the price tag of the LG G 8x. Think you get it right, and we could have a dual screen hit on our hands but too high in the novelty of the second screen may wear thin, leaving you with a well-made premium, feature filled phone which still feels a little middle-of-the-road.
