My provider sells it for about $615. I was supposed to get it yesterday but the servers were down so my trade in wouldn't go through. Now I gotta wait until Monday but it'll be worth it
When it comes to lg reviews or hands on u the only one I can watch because u show us that u really care about lg and love LG u don't just heat on them like other reviewers do great job like always I'm going to get this phone when It comes out love LG and always will
I bought one of these for my wife to upgrade her ZTE Grand Max 2, and i liked it so much I bought one for myself, and honestly these things are dirt cheap, so the value for the price is amazing, great video, and i highly recommend this phone.
Sold me the phone and the channel. Thank you very much for the practical review- I will keep up with your videos as reference before purchasing any phone or something. You understand the mindset of the customer very well and are very helpful - thanks again!
Depends On dual screen n on use also. Like while on utube videos at 1080p i had approx 3% loss for 30mins. But i am using in wifi. While working on powerdirector with 4K video of 9GB in widescreen mode (using powerdirector on both screen) size it drained 30% in 2hrs. Which i think is pretty good considering the processing n editing process
I bought the Note 10 Plus 5G last month. Normally, I love Samsung Note's but I do not like the curve screen, no notification light, both buttons on left side of phone! Reeeeeally should've purchased this phone. It was my second choice.
The idea of the dual screen from the previous iteration already got me interested, but your review is really selling this idea damn well, especially with the improvements. My current phone is still usable, so I don't think I'll be upgrading it anytime soon, but if LG keeps improving on this dual screen lineup I'll definitely be keen to buy one in the future. I had the LG G Pro from a while back before the screen failed me one year into using it, but it was a great experience using it. This review is definitely helping to put LG back in my radar, especially with the Galaxy fold announced to be priced at SGD$3088 in Singapore here. I can see way more functionality with the LG approach, and it's at a much cheaper price.
that will basically going to increased the thickness by a lot. I mean, the current second display not having battery so LG can make the case slimmer, on the otherhand, Samsung galaxy fold has battery on both part of the phone (the top screen on bottom screen) so it looks more like two phone stacked together make it looks quite bulkier. I think the bigger size on the phone battery in the next generation is better, maybe 5000mah, that would be great
@@lingth I'm okay with that because that gives you a portable workstation with dual screen and 2 day battery!! In your pocket! People buy 3-4 kg laptops, we are talking of a 200 gm increase max to 400gms
Been a fan of LG too. Underrated but a true Innovator. My LGG3 had Quad HD that year. LGV20 had an awesome ultrawide camera and manual camera options. Congratulations LG. If u only had a premium stylus like the Note line and not the crappy LG stylus, i will join you! Lol
I received my LG in November and did not get the Dual screen until December 2oth and have been on it since then. I am earning all of the great features it has to offer and I am blown away. I simply love the camera feature when you can take a pic and the person can see it as well. The widescreen is just great because I like seeing things big. I just love it.
I was kind of confused whether I should buy this or not. Read and watched lots of reviews but this review right here is the reason I have ordered it on amazon. Thanks for a clear and unbiased review.
Hi, You're a very honest reviewer ....appreciate the effort you put for this review......thanks a lot for being truth full......iam buying this phone tomorrow 👌👌👌👌👌
I bought the LG V20 after your recommendation and then I bought the V30 (current daily driver) and loved both phones. Each LG phone seems to be getting better and really appreciate LG's innovation (moving buttons to back, wide angle camera, Quad DAC), going against the grain (keeping the headphone jack), and LISTENING TO CUSTOMERS. I have to continue to support LG for these reasons... Plus, they make really good phones, OLED TVs and washing machines/fridges.. LG isn't perfect, but they've been steadily improving again and respect them for taking chances (modular LG G5). Well done LG and excellent vid!
With a really good car mount this will be awesome. Navigation on one, Spotify on the other etc. it would out perform most car infotainment systems, I mean you can angle the screen, you have the best wireless and wired auido and codecs, two oled screens, sd card, car cameras front and rear for car vlogging, headphone jack for aux in, or usbc out, wireless charging.
Fully appreciate how your reviews are practical and opinions are based on the actual phone instead of comparing apples to oranges. And you're the only reviewer who explained why the second screen has a notch. Others just scoff at it and just shows the laziness in their homework. This phone checks all boxes: chip, gpu, screen, water resistance, ram, sd slot, headphone jack, battery and wireless charging. My only gripe is Android 9 instead of Android 10. I've owned LG's since the LG G 3 and their OS updates are garbage. You and Flossy Carter are my faves!
This phone is simply excellent! Seriously. Even after a week of watching reviews on this I’m still impressed. I will be getting this phone. I hope this will now put LG higher up in the smartphone market as they are totally under rated. They are an exceptional company.
At $1000, no competition. I did like having secure face id and fingerprint scanner on the same phone, and the back finger print scanner was the best and faster than the on screen one, and does not require you to look. The G8 was also the first with crystal speaker, which was great in noisy environments on phone calls. The G8 at 3120X1440 and 6.1" was also the highest ppi in the industry aside from the Sony Xperia 4K 1. I love they still have the quad dac amp and headphone jack and sd card. Their biggest weakness is software updates, and heavy skin.
As an overall phone the G8X is definitely better than the V50. The front, rear and wide angle cameras have all been improved and there should be a noticeable difference in quality. Better stereo speakers. Cleaner and updated UI. I was going to buy the V50 but will hold back for the G8X now.
Great LG, I love it. about the price, I can imagine that I am using a foldable smartphone like samsung or mate x.....with an unworried price. just a question, I am a book reader. Do we have any way to connect 2 smartphones and read them like a paper book? I have 2 smart phones 6.4 inchs, and I hope I can have 1 paper book reader connecting between them. and missing a stylus pen? LG please improve.
I had to stop the video for a moment to holler in triumph at 6:47. The lack of tablet mode was a deal breaker for me with the V50. But now, LG just brought over a convert from Samsung...
@@XeroBuster No problem. That would be my main use case for tablet mode on a mobile device anyway. Plus the supporting and supported software is only going to mature in development over time.
I recently got a V60 a few days ago and I have to admit I enjoy the bigger battery but I do miss the little things that my V30 has like the fingerprint sensor in the back and the floating bar. I never realized how much I crop pics and create gifs from there. I haven't gone through my book yet to see what the V60 does but for right now I'm not sure whether im going to keep it or not. Update I got my dual screen and I'm starting to enjoy this phone now even without the features I lost.
@@pattimcb31 you can scan the same finger multiple times for it to be quicker. I had the V40 and got the G8x, and didn't like the in display, but now it opens just as quickly as the rear did. Go into settings and it lets you scan multiple times, I guess for different fingers I scanned my same finger all 4 times and its quick as hell now
And again, when the content is that good, you don't even notice the duration 👌🏽! LG listens and I'm glad a Reviewer acknowledges that. I just hope they'll give more attention to their software updates cuz this redesign UI looks promising. Overall, that's something innovative to attract a big deal for them. Let's wait for the final product.
I hope they don't abandon it like they do to previous flagship. My LG V30+ doesn't receive Pie and I don't know when my phone will get android Pie. It's almost Christmas.
You will love it! The only thing that bothered me at first was the speakers compared to s9 plus I was using but after a week I didn't notice difference anymore
Nice LG G8X Dual Screen, it is more practical and less expensive then the Samsung dual screen. True Apple is a stubborn company because they have never included a SD card slot in their IPhones.
I'm stuck between buying the Moto one action and Vivo z1 pro. Both of them have great performance for the price, but Vivo beats Moto in every other way, except that it has a micro USB port and a heavily skinned os. The micro usb dosent bother me as much because it still charges much faster than the one action. Funtouch OS though, I passionately hate it. Can someone give me some insight as to which phone is better? (I mean, z1 pro is obviously "better", it's hole punch is like 1/3rd the size of one action's hole punch, much bigger battery, much faster charging, I'm talking about the software and the disadvantages of micro usb).
Awesome review, other reviewers should learn from you. You are positive and have inspired me to get the phone. Other reviewers all they know how to do, is batch every smartphone and my saying to them is, if you can do a better smartphone let's see it. All they know how to do is batch every company witch results in confusing desition making and drawback from getting what you want. Let's don't forget messing with the sale of these companies that have invested so much on their product. Thank You so much for your great and direct review of this phone, you made me a believer and I will be purchasing this phone again thanks to you. Thank You,
now that you have used the phone for 7 months - could you share your experience using it - are you pleased with its performance - hows the battery keeping up
i was wandering, what would happen if one connects another phone (like note 9 or so) with an usb cable to that 2nd lg monitor? only the g8 supports that 2nd monitor or also other phones (which can be connected to monitors)?
LG g8s that came out here in eu instead of g8 normal has fullhd screen. This one all it lacks is stylus inside that secondary screen and I would buy it without second thought!would b more complete then note. Great review tnx!
I was hyped to buy this phone but... No android 10, no SDM 855+ and it's not a QHD display. Guess I'll stick to my G7 a little longer. Disappointment but still love LG.
LG decided to sell the V50 WITHOUT the dual display accessory in the US - in fact the US version doesn’t even have the pins on the back, so one cannot import and use the display at all. It’s amazing the LG would sell the V50 without one of the few selling points for it over other devices like the Samsung S10. Maybe this time around LG will try to sell the G8X dual display without the phone instead, just for a laugh.
Left Samsung years ago. Lg has had many phones that were unique and practical. However, there are some discomforts with being different. My G4 curve was nice to hold but made the phone thick for things like gimbles and VR headsets. And it did roll a bit when on its back. But I love the phone. My V30+ is close to perfect. Lease was up and went to G8x. I know there will be issues with that second screen but it is detachable. Just got mine today and Im looking forward to using this phone. Although, with sprint the offer for the free screen is completed by lg and there's up to a 6 week wait in some cases. Again, the phone works fine without it.
Can you use SwiftKey keyboard on this and still have all these dual screen options with copy/paste etc? I use this keyboard for many many years and it brilliantly learn and predict what I type.
Unfortunately, no. The keyboard features for the dual screen like moving to second screen only works with LG default keyboard. It is unfortunate indeed as LG keyboard, while not bad, isn't the greatest
@@bensgadgetreviews Thank you very much for super fast response. Now I don't think I will get this phone as SwiftKey remembers my frequently types emails and whole sentences. Don't know how good LG keyboard is as couldn't find and videos/reviews.
I've had this phone for about 3 weeks!!! IT'S BEYOND AWESOME. IT'S BEYOND AMAZING. IT'S LG. PERIOD. Catch up folks. This phone is extremely PRACTICAL. Enough said. You guys will THANK ME later. The future is here. Don't get left behind folks. Samsung is NOT the only game-changer in town. Be bless. Be U.
Hello I really enjoyed your video and I have a quick question I have the LG V50 that I just recently got from Verizon Wireless and I was so sad to learn that the dual-screen was only available in Europe but watching your video I see now there's another dual screen for the LG G8 X that uses the C-USB port to connect instead of the three pins on the bottom back so if I am not mistaking both phones are about the same size so is it possible for me to connect my LG V50 to the dual screen on the LG G8X using the C-USB port because both phones are the same size and same brand and both phones use dual screens so is it possible to switch the deuce screams so that I may be able to use a dual screen on my LG V50 from Verizon Wireless here in the United States so if you or anyone else can please help me with this question I would really appreciate it very much and thank you so much again sincerely Blair Fox Love!*
I'm an LG fan ever since the G4/V10 extended the warranty cause of the bootloop shituation. Only question is how long will LG support the consumer with updates?
Hi, how to get that home screen wallpaper to stay like that without the zoom in effect that happens when applying the seamless wallpaper? Mine always zooms in to a light bluish hue.
Can you tell me whether this phone come in the color white? I really like this phone!!! I just purchased a Samsung Note 10 Plus 5G. Do not like it ... curve screen, no notification light, all buttons on left side of phone.
1) there's a giant bezel down the middle. 2) the displays are 2 different color temps. Can't unsee. 3) LG Software. Pass. I do really love the idea of one display being a giant keyboard in landscape though. That's nice.

i really wish LG included extra mAh in the Dual Screen. imagine 4kmAh (phone) + 5kmAh (ds) = im sold

They finally have redesigned their UI.
Well done LG, eventhough its a lot of samsung-ish, but any change is welcome
yes I prefer the newer LG UI than the older UI by a lot, the previous UI is just not a likeable one
Looking forward to seeing this in person. I could see me buying this

This looks like it could be my next phone. Literally the only thing I would change is the a higher resolution screen but I'm ok with it being 1080p.
It helps the battery last longer, I always had to turn my s9 plus resolution down to 1080p to get a full day
Honestly it is not that a big deal.
1080p is enough
how do you answer the phone when the dualscreen is attached?
You can do so with the phone closed because there is a small hole for the speaker grille
@@bensgadgetreviews or with the dual screen opened all the way so the main phone is in contact with the ear.
By pressing the google assistant button on the left side of the phone.
I liked the DX reference.

I Hope we get both in The States, not just the Phone🤓🤔
So glad the data access was available through a simple swipe down.

Nice LG G8X Dual Screen, it is more practical and less expensive then the Samsung dual screen. True Apple is a stubborn company because they have never included a SD card slot in their IPhones.
Every cell phone company should make a dual screen case for their flagship smartphone since not everyone have $2000 to spend on a foldable phone.
Can you dial a number while the dualscreen are connected without opening the screens?

LG g8s that came out here in eu instead of g8 normal has fullhd screen.
This one all it lacks is stylus inside that secondary screen and I would buy it without second thought!would b more complete then note. Great review tnx!
This guy knows his shit. Subscribed.
Thank you
Hey can you help me? They said this phone is water resistant. Is it both screen or just one of the screen?
I was hyped to buy this phone but... No android 10, no SDM 855+ and it's not a QHD display. Guess I'll stick to my G7 a little longer. Disappointment but still love LG.
Great video, Thank you!
Do you still love this phone?
Yes!
Great job. This is my next phone
LG decided to sell the V50 WITHOUT the dual display accessory in the US - in fact the US version doesn’t even have the pins on the back, so one cannot import and use the display at all. It’s amazing the LG would sell the V50 without one of the few selling points for it over other devices like the Samsung S10.
Maybe this time around LG will try to sell the G8X dual display without the phone instead, just for a laugh.
That's very shortsighted on their end to sell the V50 as a standalone phone.
2011Kestrel I think that's why they re-released this variant. The V50 spec wise is a little better but this will sell.. especially for the price.
Left Samsung years ago. Lg has had many phones that were unique and practical. However, there are some discomforts with being different. My G4 curve was nice to hold but made the phone thick for things like gimbles and VR headsets. And it did roll a bit when on its back. But I love the phone. My V30+ is close to perfect. Lease was up and went to G8x. I know there will be issues with that second screen but it is detachable. Just got mine today and Im looking forward to using this phone. Although, with sprint the offer for the free screen is completed by lg and there's up to a 6 week wait in some cases. Again, the phone works fine without it.
Should i buy it now in 2021 cuz i am getting the seal phone under 300 dollars in india rn
I have the Note 10 plus but now I'm digging that dual screen...decision decision....hmmm
What did you end up doing? I'm in the same boat
Great review, thank you for sharing.
Thank you
Can you use SwiftKey keyboard on this and still have all these dual screen options with copy/paste etc? I use this keyboard for many many years and it brilliantly learn and predict what I type.
Unfortunately, no. The keyboard features for the dual screen like moving to second screen only works with LG default keyboard. It is unfortunate indeed as LG keyboard, while not bad, isn't the greatest
@@bensgadgetreviews Thank you very much for super fast response. Now I don't think I will get this phone as SwiftKey remembers my frequently types emails and whole sentences. Don't know how good LG keyboard is as couldn't find and videos/reviews.
I've had this phone for about 3 weeks!!! IT'S BEYOND AWESOME. IT'S BEYOND AMAZING. IT'S LG. PERIOD. Catch up folks. This phone is extremely PRACTICAL. Enough said. You guys will THANK ME later. The future is here. Don't get left behind folks. Samsung is NOT the only game-changer in town. Be bless. Be U.
Hey Ben, can you answer the phone with that dual screen attachment directly? Or you need to open the case and answer the call? Thanks
You can answer the call with just the outside cover screen so no need to open it up
@@bensgadgetreviews wow thats terrific
Let me know about its front camera plzzz. Does it take outstanding selfie 🤳. Should i buy to take amazing selfies with this.
Hello I really enjoyed your video and I have a quick question I have the LG V50 that I just recently got from Verizon Wireless and I was so sad to learn that the dual-screen was only available in Europe but watching your video I see now there's another dual screen for the LG G8 X that uses the C-USB port to connect instead of the three pins on the bottom back so if I am not mistaking both phones are about the same size so is it possible for me to connect my LG V50 to the dual screen on the LG G8X using the C-USB port because both phones are the same size and same brand and both phones use dual screens so is it possible to switch the deuce screams so that I may be able to use a dual screen on my LG V50 from Verizon Wireless here in the United States so if you or anyone else can please help me with this question I would really appreciate it very much and thank you so much again sincerely Blair Fox Love!*
Hi, no sorry the v50 will not be able to connect to the G8X dual screen. They are exclusive tech. Sorry.
Love your channel. Its very informative.
Thank you
Can you change the cameras during the filming?
Yasss so excited I love your review
Thank you!
excellent review man. thanks
Thank you
Looks like a good phone. Does it still have the DAC like the original G8 ?
Good news yes
@@Oriolus1 thanks for the reply that is good
@@anthonymckenzie5300 cheers
I'm an LG fan ever since the G4/V10 extended the warranty cause of the bootloop shituation. Only question is how long will LG support the consumer with updates?
Hi, how to get that home screen wallpaper to stay like that without the zoom in effect that happens when applying the seamless wallpaper? Mine always zooms in to a light bluish hue.
My favorite RUclipsr
Thank you so much!
nice video man. hows the camera in comparison to iphone and pixel?
Can you use the camera app on the second screen?
And can you plug the phone in the case inverted, with the screen facing the case?
Can you tell me whether this phone come in the color white? I really like this phone!!! I just purchased a Samsung Note 10 Plus 5G. Do not like it ... curve screen, no notification light, all buttons on left side of phone.
1) there's a giant bezel down the middle. 2) the displays are 2 different color temps. Can't unsee. 3) LG Software. Pass. I do really love the idea of one display being a giant keyboard in landscape though. That's nice.
Fair. Though this is pre production software so maybe the color will get better.
How is the battery back up & speed test between these two, if u have to suggest in between Mi K20 pro & Lg G8X, which one it will be? Bro🤔
