Had bought g8x in 2020 for around $300. For the price nothing on the market comes close. . No other $300 phone had ip68, wireless charging till date. Dual screen is a blessing for reading books, magazines. It was on Android 10 when I bought it. Got Android 12 update couple of weeks back. 100 % satisfied so far. Fingerprint and charging is a bit slow, but I've gotten used to it now.
Overall the G8x wins for me with the dual speakers and dual case, but the G8 holds its own with its more compact size, always on display and the face unlock is faster than my Galaxy S20 FE. I'll NEVER understand why the G8x,Velvet or V60 doesn't have face unlock. Great comparison.
Gaming on g8x will probably last longer because of the lower resolution, despite the screen being bigger it makes up for that with the slightly bigger battery
@@pkboss8324 no not a single issue. Yes one con is no update. But I don't care about updates because my two friends are using poco X2 and x3 and they are getting updates every month but miui 12 had already ruined experience of all the users. Even my realme 6 has many issues after software update. Very very disgusting update. Each update comes with a new bug. But my LG hadn't have any issues. It's ui in 60hz looking more smooth than poco X2 120 hz
Using the g8 right now. Let me tell you.... Its a gaming beast! I play cod mobile and can play on max graphics and frame rate. I also play roblox and im able to play max graphics on most games!
G8 has a better resonance chamber on top of hollow surfaces. G8 has better image quality for the rear cameras with more detail and better depth of field. Though I do prefer the hue of the g8x over the g8. The front camera, the g8x wins there. The g8 has a better screen and has more secure biometrics. Capacitive fps is better than optical which can be fooled with using ashes. If put ash over the screen, have them unlock it with ash finger print still present on the screen. Any finger print can be placed over it and unlock the phone. Can't do that with the tof or capacitive. Imo, if you are considering the g8x, you may as well go for the v69 which is better all around. Not a fan of the g8x build quality since I've seen people break the phone by bending it.
Outstanding review! Thanks. Hey, can you do a quickie in the g8x vs v50 like you did in the summary last few minutes of this comparison? Oh, and PLEASE get real music for the sound comparison. I want to take an ice pick to my ears every time I hear that one!!
Lg g8x vs lg v40 please🙏🙏🙏.i have a v40 and i would want to upgrade to a lg g8x, but would like to see how they compare 1st.🙏( COD mobile battle royal,i get black screens in the V40)
-Dual screen hands down will always win. -Screen quality really isn’t that noticeable. -Cameras are similar (dual screen camera feature is great) -Finger print on screen is cool on 8x, but I really loved the features that the g8 brought (physical fingerprint scanner, face recognition, hand recognition) -the big size of the G8X makes sense with the dual screen as it’s meant for a 2 nice large displays. My g8, was more convenient when on the run and active. My G8X was not great when out all the time with dual screen. Very heavy and quite scary if dropped. -speed, awesome dual display, & better battery have the G8X the edge for me (although I love both)
G8x is an absolute champion. When I'm really absolutely pushing it to the max with 4k videos and GCam photos all day I get 5 hours SOT. On a regular day with average use I get 8 hours SOT. The G8 should be a little worse for wear with a smaller battery and 1440p display but not by much.
Here in Brazil the G8X is a steal right now, cheaper than the S10+ and you get twice as much screen real-estate but with 2GB RAM less, very acceptable, RIP LG.
which has better battery lg v50 vs lg g8x I would like a battery and performance tester I entered both I am buying one and I am not which one to choose
@@chriswright8074 I don't have any battery issue. In fact it seems to really depend on people for the V40. Some have fantastic battery life. I do. But yeah, the V50 is really interesting.
Hey man, i had my lg g8 for the past 5 months and has been great, but i can't receive literally any updates, its an unlocked at&t phone, i rly need help cz the last security pstch it has it's from november , the one that cames with it , and i haven't been able to download any firmware or security updates since then and i saw in the at&t website that they recently launch a security update in febreaury. The thing is i live in Brazil and i can't get an AT&T chip here cz they just don't operate here, is there any solution to this?
You shouldn't buy any AT&T smarphone when you're out of the US. They don't provide smartphone updates worldwide + their bloatwares are the heaviest and hardest to unlock out of all the US carriers. Sorry to hear that..
G8x, if you don't care 2k screen resolution, g8x has a Full HD screen that mean you going to have better battery consumption. The V60 have a full HD screen too and is the big v50 brother.
Hey man, since i got my at&t lg g8 in november i have no android updates, and st&t recently launched one in febreaury , but as i live in Brazil i can't get a sim for at&t so how do i force firmware updates? And btw my phone's proximity and light sensor started working again lol
@@user-op3db3cy4z -Apparently, you can't crossflash with the g8, but there might be some way. I don't see why you're not getting the update, though. Maybe you have a rooted/bootloader unlocked phone?

@@pkboss8324 Yes I do. The S20 FE is better besides the G8x having a dual screen.
@@BigHouseProductions33 yeah s20 fe would be alot better
Probably because they don't have a notch for the 3d face scan sensors.
@@tywanjames4427 You don't need the 3D face scan sensors. The V50 has face scan without the TOF sensor.
Im probably going to get one of these phones because LG will no longer make anymore phones:( A truly end of an era

You can turn down the resolution on the g8 to 1080p or lower. Globally so it does it for all apps and games.

Cool! Getting the regular g8 soon, just because it was cheaper, and because I can't live without that amazing physical fingerprint scanner.
It might be my favorite phone from LG, if the front camera wasn't so so. Besides that the phone has everything one needs.

Battery life is a big deciding factor for me. You left that out in your summary at the end.

Matthews tech listens to hopsin , man of culture🤜🤛
The speakers on the g8x is what the g8 shouldve been
Either phone are great phones for the price.. Beats any S8 S9 etc. Although the V40 is a beast
Great in-depth review. Liked and subbed, thanks Matthews keep on keeping on
Hmm with the G8X you can watch tutorials on YT while playing a game lmao (I do a lot when building in terraria)

Is g8x's 32mp selfie better than the g8's 8mp selfie camera?

Between the V50 vs G8x.. which one is better?
G8X in my opinon but it depends on ur priorities
G8x for me, more battery with the 1080p screendisplay
V50 for sure. If you're about display quality
