Thinking about getting one of these. I just discovered LG with the V20. I am so disappointed that they are getting out of the phone business but it was something that I expected. They never got over the bad rep for the reboot issue. At least they didn't explode. Samsung somehow got over that.
The difference is that Samsung recalled ALL of their Note 7 devices. To an enormous loss in the billions. LG pretended that nothing was wrong. Despite the bootloop thing being common across the G4, the G5, the V20 but most catastrophically on the V10. During that time, I had a G4 that died to bootloop. And I had three, THREE V10s in a row that were unusable due to bootloop. LG did nothing THAT is why they no longer exist
@@kenbee1957 yes thats true... A company can always come back from a bad situation but LG didn't care about their users.... They said nothing when people was complaining about the problem so people lost their trust.
@@kenbee1957 ah yes I was also a victim of the notorious boot loop on the V10 ..I had place heat dissipation pads on the chips and also use copper tape, at present I use it to make videos since it has a great camera contemplating on purchasing the G8
i got one through a program through work by earning points on a app and got this phone and the sony wf1000m3 or whatever headphones. by mistake i out the headphones theough the washing machine but had them for long enough to still be super upset by doing so.. i have the jbl rock edition headphones now and tbey are awful id love to have the new sony headphones :(
i love this phone though alot especially being able to mess around with the audio and for gaming the gamepad is awesome for when i dont have a cloud gaming controller. i love the phone too for battery it does last for over a day for me too at least
Yo if you listen to music a lot invest in some high quality headphones and take advantage of the Quad Dac. If you've only listened to music on bluetooth headphones/buds or cheapo wired headphones you're in for a nice treat when you get some HQ headphones.
LG G8X ThinQ becomes the Premier audio phone to own then decides to get out of the phone biz. I absolutely have enjoyed this phone but, T-Mobile and everyone else wants 3G talk on phones to die so,now I'll be on the hunt for another 4G VoLTE phone. I will keep this LG G8X as my goto music player. What a shame.The truly good shit always seems to gets run down by the B.S. bells and whistles of the big boys (Samsung,iPhone and now Google). Thanks for talking this phone up. Peace.
That is sad that LG will discontinue their services with smartphones, I was searching for smartphones that help with multitasking and this phone and the LG V60 was recommended. Not many sellers have the G8x affordable or with the dual screen, so I hope I can try to find a good deal soon.
@@marquesbrown5643 I haven't used Pixel 3xl, so can't compare, but I don't have any complaint about g8x whatsoever from 1 year or so. It's so buttery smooth, brilliant performance. Cherry on cake is it's toughness. Dropped it quite a few times in ground and in water. Nothing happened. Camera is also nice with manual modes. Yes, selfie is average but no big deal for me. If you are a moderate user you can not kill it's battery in less than 30 hours.I will recommend you to go for it.
im currently using the p30 pro, but im curious if i could sell mine and get the g8x with dual screen. Would you prefer the g8x or the p30 pro? Prices used seem similar
After the Android 12 update, there's now a noticeable feedback when doing a video call. The mic seems to be too sensitive and picks up the speaker sounds. So, don't update your device to Android 12 until they have a fix, which I don't think they will.
This phone legit scores higher than the Galaxy S10 and in some cases takes better pictures too. The only gripe I have is the ugly camera cutout and somewhat thick chin. Besides that this phone is actually pretty great looking.
Thanks for the information - How is the finger scanner in comparison to Samsung S10+ Is it the same I find S10 sensor not good at all. I am used to the older sensors in the back of the LG phone
Wow, if only so called "reviewers" hadn't obsessed over glass backs and sound "quality" from the 2mm speaker and other irrelevant rubbish, we might still have this excellent Korean manufacturer as an option for those of us who don't want a Zoumei ZZT WAHWAHWAY chinese spyware phone. Thanks Reviewers!!
I have a doubt between the lg v50 and the lg g8x, which would be better for games, I hear that the g8x is better for games, how about that, it will be true that it is more atomized
I have dual screen on this phone and use the dual app feature a lot. I don't know another phone that has both. Hope there is one as I really want to continue to use this feature for years
i broke mine and im currently hunting one down on ebay bc the dac is just that worth it for me As a courier sometimes double shift the motorola g power i got as a replacement doesnt even come close to the performance the g8x has for music through the dac i only have tidal to compare between the 2 bc i cant use my sd card from my g8x. with the g power
I have one for sale, it is brand new, but open box as the phone was a gift; then I bought the Samsung galaxy S21 5G phone. I am currently trying to get some pricing advice b4 I list it on ebay. Amazon, Gazelle or sell it at a local cellphone shop. Dual screen is cool, comes w sealed instructions everything is perfect & it is for sale! How much can I get from a cellphone store, or, how much are people willing 2 pay, if I list it on Monday or Tuesday would ya bid on it, just curious 🤔 thank you!

2 days and 11h+ SOT terrible? hoping it would do as well as note 9 or better but only about 90% as good but probably because I am always listening to music.

It is sad that they failed to market it better, it seems like a really well-designed phone. I will miss LG.
Got a brand new one with the dual screen accessory for 270 dollars. Great phone, great features,a true flagship.

Where did you get it brand new for that price with the dual screen?
since my Stylo 6 stopped working , I'm getting the 8x , i guess it's a lot faster , very informative video man .
Great review. I'm a fan of long term reviews and this still looks like a great phone.
RIP LG Phones 2004-2021. You'll be missed.
They could always make a comeback.
@@hugon6717 I sure hope so, best phones I've ever had.
@@h1ddn4g3nd4 yes they are actually better than Samsung in the years coming up but they were moving slow with aloth of things tho.

V60
And I love the thunderbolt or whatever they do that makes there USB port super usable

Your mic made me think my ear buds were broke
What was 2nd action game you was played ?
Amazing vide. Please keep up the good work mate
Immaculate SG preferred LG due to its prettier screen? I think it looked better than Samsung?
