LG has always been moving forward ahead of everyone. They were the first to have multiple cameras and dual screens years ago, and IIRC were likely the first to standardize RAW image and video options in the camera, among other really cool niche options (like a HiFi DAC in the V20). They do need to better their marketing strategy for sure though.
They have their own RUclips channel videos out now so there is that. They don't do national TV ad campaigns until after a month of a full release. We might start seeing ads for it in Dec.

With the LG8X dual screen in it's case it doesn't make sense to have the headphone jack on this phone. It's not useful in a leather universal case that holds both screens.

I think 🤔 this is better than the Samsung fold. Way to go LG 👍. Nice review Michael 💯 😊 What some don't realize is the LG leaves no crease, unlike the Samsung Fold and seems more durable. Also with the Galaxy Fold, if you drop it, its entirely gone, whereas with LG you can replace the other half (hopefully only one side gets the blunt!)

Love this concept LG if your watching or reading this just make the dual screens come together as close as possible like small bezels and I'm sold. Bought my kids v40's and they have worked flawlessly.
I haven't used yet, just got LG L8x dual- it will be an adventure discovering things it does! (Iam going from samsung 4s thats seen a few yrs) I chose this LG because hubby has brain cancer and Iam always looking of his meds and tests and info of his condition (googlin' ), but keep his dr appts and taking pics for his drs are really useful medical wise. But I forget there are fun things on phone too- so it will be nice for me (vid chat better w/mom who lives a state away), and let me take notes easier with split keypad. Thank you for your vid, I am happy to have more useful phone!
Thanks for being alive and enjoying describing the phone while using the phone! You are the only video that is the clearest to understand. I'll be buying a LG G8 today. The dual screen was confusing me and you said its an accessory, so it may or may not come with the 2nd screen.
Im curious as well. I really like my V50 but too bad they didnt have non Korean dual screen version so even tho their dimensions are slightly off I think I will look for a G8x second screen just for the try to use minus closing them together. 🤞
Recently In India , flipkart brought it in flash sales during a festive sale for 272 to 300Usd without charging adapter ...it's a steal for the price n more than 700k sold out in secs
Why don't they slap stylus inside the secondary screen case?! With spen like features this one would be 10 better then note!sorta Nokia communicator BB and note mix . note right now is completely without any competition - would be perfect business oriented device - missing great chance there LG imo . but overall looks amazing.
So is there really such a big diference.in the g8x? do you get quad dac? bigger battery? or ram that should be in line with every other phone ie 8gb? is it an ultrasonic underscreen sensor or optical? I was looking at a v50 but i might wait till they flop a bit more and get it half price
This is a good video and one of many I watched from IFA 2019 from other reviewers that got use it got to use the LG G8X. When I first heard about it this new device I had to have one. So in late November I bought mine from AT&T and I love it, both the phone and the dual screen. It's just a great phone over all. I got my Dual Screen included with the phone purchased on the AT&T Next plan. Plus I took advantage of AT&T sale and got the LG G8X for Free. The caveat is that AT&T starts the installment credit after 90 days and must kept on the plan for the full 30 months. BTW the Dual Screen automatic inclusion is a temporary deal from both carriers and maybe also from those selling unlocked phones. It retails for $200. Bringing the total price to the starting price of $900 USD. Plus tax.

Lg is finally moving forward. What they need is a decent marketing strategy.
100% agree this is the main problem of lg & Sony

Unfortunately, the bad marketing strategy is probably how we can get rhe phone AND the attachable screen for $700.

I support LGMobilePhones!
Nokia was always the trend setter for new innovations before.
I don't know about you, but I think i like this concept over the samsung fold!
Same here
No it's horrible . Need seamless design
Never seen so many dumb people in my life

How do you like the V40? Im still stuck with my poor lil LG G5 lol i may get the V40 soon.
We just need a decent DS Emulator for this

Also for other consoles too.

Lg is always innovative! Everyone was copying rear fingerprints and 2nd camera. I prefer rear power button.
