Hey Josh, You TOTALLY nailed the long-distance-relationship use case scenario! 😅 Sometimes you just HAVE to multitask during a video chat with the partner and you never want to get caught not paying full attention! Problem solved with this setup! 😄👍🏾
I'd actually buy this! Your review was the only one I've come across which did not just bash it without any thoughts. LG, please don't undersell it. You have produced a genuinely good phone!
Hmmm hard to say , pros and cons for both , the weak spot for plastic screened phones is the plastic , I suspect here the weak spot is the case and the connectors , and the battery life . the fold is more nicely integrated imo . the other elephant in the room is updates , from my experience with LG , lg has not been overly enthused about giving updates , in a year or two will lg abandon this like a red headed step child ? also , i already looked at sammy specs with the fold , and it gets a 2 year warranty ,and iirc one free screen replacement , a lot of other devices do not even get 2 years warranty for a basic handset .
Great coverage JV. I enjoyed watching an LG employee use his G8x with dual screen for hours on a flight home from Vegas last Friday. He used at least two of your use cases. Video/another app, and full-screen keyboard looking like a tiny laptop.
Hello Josh, because of your video review I bought myself a LG--G8X, and as Mr Fisher said on his video, it's not a phone for tomorrow, it's a phone for today, keep up the great work Josh
I do a huge amount of multi-tasking and having 2 screens available would be great. I'd love to see a fraction more battery, but it's definitely got me inerested.
I do loads of multi-tasking as well. I got myself a mobile with a large 6.99" screen especially to make it easier yet still maintaining a relatively pocket able format, but splitting the screen or jumping between apps can be frustrating, this would be so cool!
Got and love this phone, thanks for your channels attention. All it still needs is google button moved down to make it an volume up triggers. And mirror screen in teepee mode to share video, pictures, etc. with someone sitting across from you.
I hope they add remote control for their tv's and other brands, and appliances with this phone. It would make putting in text great and could even show you whats on the tv in the top screen as you move from room to garage or room than you go back to the tv and dim it. But most of all a mappable controller for ps4 xbox one, pc/mac games would be great.
I've Been with the G series since the G2! Bring back the rear volume rocker and power button!! Lol but for real, I'm totally stoked for this phone and I think I'll make the jump from my G6 to this!
Hi Josh, I like this solution, and hope more manufacturers will adopt similar idea for their devices (Note10+ with S-Pen and dual screen? Whoa). But as one main potential roadblock can be the battery life. Can you have a closer look during your usage and testing? Thanks.
Again, great video. Can't wait to see a full review on this phone. I've always wanted the underdog phones like the OnePlus 7 pro and haven't got the chance to get finances in order. But I wanted something that's different compared to everyone's cult favorite like Samsung and Apple. But this phone that LG is coming out with, is awesome in every way. Hope they can make the display on the case brighter as well for outdoors but overall, I think I'd get this phone regardless.
LG never seems to do preorder and release date correctly, so people buy iPhones and notes instead of waiting, and then as soon as they buy the other phone LG's phone is available in stores and no one buys it. LG tell the bribed samsung, Apple, and google carriers when this phone is available at what "LOW" price and when they can preorder it. And do it now! Don't wait for people to get impatient and buy other phones.
I have this phone as well and it's great. Just didn't kno that I have to send for the DUAL SCREEN via promition code. I thought it came out the box. Gotta wait 3-6 weeks until it comes and am Caseless until then, smh.
I have the LG G8X Thin Q Duel Screen and would like to understand how to customize game pads for games, I have played around with it however It be nice to have videos explaining exactly how to customize the game pads!
& here in India, we're getting this for $250 in offers (normal price $750) I'm roaming here& there recommending this phone to everyone.. but none of my friends taking me seriously.. they think Lg only makes Tvs & Refrigerators!
Imho, this is the smarter option for those who want the extra real estate for productivity over a large slab of screen that doesn't fold completely. That said, does the dual screen work with DS emulators?
There's no reason for it not to. The controller software just needs to be set to where the standard touchscreen controls are on the 'gameplay' display, and it will mimic you touching there.
if you think about it this is a way more practical application of a folding screen phone vs the Mate X or the Galaxy Fold hell if you dont want to use the folding screen aspect you get a neat phone too
Hey Josh, your review was great! How do you feel this phone is useful or a benefit for someone that is in school full-time or wants to run a business with this phone as their main source of communication and hand held computer?
Anybody know when it is coming out? Seems pretty cool tbh... I've had LG phones in the past but the pics have always been lackluster to me versus a comparable Samsung/Apple phone.
A point every reviewer seems to hide is that when vertically holding the duo screen, it is inconvenient to do typing on either of the screens. You have to rotate horizontally and use one entire screen as the keyboard. What a pitfall.
It's a shame that on carriers in Japan, only at best midrange LG smartphones are available. And yes, MVNOs do exist. They dump you at the back of the queue for network access. And yes, carriers legally have to allow you to use any phone that works on their networks, but good luck actually getting them to.
Did LG permanently glue the battery into the case to make it unreplaceable like they did with the G8 and give a big ol' FU to consumers, especially with that second screen wearing out the battery twice as fast?
With Apple's money and market chops, this phone would easily be the phone of the year, and sell like crazy. Unfortunatly it has LG for that and they are the worst in those regards.
I have always admired how lg is willing to put themselves out on a limb with their ideas. Some are questionable, even weird but this dual screen idea of a phone is terrific. Good job LG. Now if they could only incorporate a stylus *hint * hint #lg

She will not notice you not looking at her, and eventually a game or some porn :)))
And you probably won't even notice that she's doing the same to you!! 😜😂
@@vince7245 That's why he has a new GF after every..3, 4 videos. :)

Video chat with the GF while you text with the Sancha.
I'd actually buy this! Your review was the only one I've come across which did not just bash it without any thoughts. LG, please don't undersell it. You have produced a genuinely good phone!
we want to have lg undersell this great phone, so we get it for smaller price.^^
now its 150 usd
LG always makes underrated products
i tell everybody this. their products are arguably better than samsung's. LG just doesn't know how to market
This is more practical than the Galaxy fold or huawei's folding phones
You're definitely right about that it's way better
WAY more practical and better/normal looking
Hmmm hard to say , pros and cons for both , the weak spot for plastic screened phones is the plastic ,
I suspect here the weak spot is the case and the connectors , and the battery life .
the fold is more nicely integrated imo .
the other elephant in the room is updates , from my experience with LG , lg has not been overly enthused about giving updates , in a year or two will lg abandon this like a red headed step child ?
also , i already looked at sammy specs with the fold , and it gets a 2 year warranty ,and iirc one free screen replacement ,
a lot of other devices do not even get 2 years warranty for a basic handset .
All phones should have these cases!
A samsung fanboy once said
"Damn, not a fan of LG but this is more cool than galaxy fold"
@American Freedom World Peace hell yea
Now THIS is so much more useful than a foldable phone. LG as usual quietly innovating in the background while people underestimate them.
I am so excited. I'm excited because this phone is coming to the u.s.
I recently bought this Device. I Love it...I'm also Happy that I can type on a Bigger Screen while my TH-cam video is running...
Hi Mervyn.... What about the battery life? Thanks

AND THE THUG LIFE AWARD FOR 2019 GOES TO: Joshua Vergara!!!
These products sadly will never become uber mainstream but are so sick!
INCREDIBLY intriguing device. this isn't better than the iphn 12???? yes i said the iphn TWELVE
Now this is innovation!
That's really a nice idea. This phone looks much better than foldable phone. I will buy this phone as soon as in market. ❤❤👍👍
Me too

I don't think people realize how 🔥 this is..
I am actually excited for an LG device for the first time in years. Great video.

i am ABSOLUTELY SALIVATING at the unique possibilities of this phone!! The life of my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is on the line
I like this concept from LG!!
That clasp sound when you close it. That's what I want about this phone.
The camera is surprisingly good
I've Been with the G series since the G2! Bring back the rear volume rocker and power button!! Lol but for real, I'm totally stoked for this phone and I think I'll make the jump from my G6 to this!
Nice preview, this is way more useful and interesting then the iphone 11 pro and note 10.
They should remove the ThinQ name from the G and V Line
yep unless it can control other thinq devices.
LG adding thinq to both g and v series really sounds stupid
@@eduardo28grams Adding AI to a phone is stupid?😳😂😂😂😂😂... That statement was Stupid!!!
Would help to learn why they have it rather than assume 😩...
@@JAMESJJEFFERS when did I ever mention anything about ai??
I'm truly very interested in this phone. I think LG will be my next purchase. Hoepfully LG will continue supporting this.
This is just a great idea for a phone. If Tmobilr offers a trade-in discount for my g7 I may just upgrade.
I'll definitely get this on contract
Hi Josh, I like this solution, and hope more manufacturers will adopt similar idea for their devices (Note10+ with S-Pen and dual screen? Whoa). But as one main potential roadblock can be the battery life. Can you have a closer look during your usage and testing? Thanks.
Oh gosh, if this had a Wacom EMR stylus (S-Pen)...
Awesome product

i want to buy this just to support the engineering that went behind this
I'm still in fronts between LG and OnePlus!!!! But LG stepped it up!!!
This seems MUCH more practical and durable than the Galaxy Fold. 🤔
I'm looking and listening LG, I like what I see.
LG never seems to do preorder and release date correctly, so people buy iPhones and notes instead of waiting, and then as soon as they buy the other phone LG's phone is available in stores and no one buys it.

You're back! 😄
I want this phone more than the Galaxy Fold, but if it doesn't come to the UK on EE then I won't be getting it :(

A full day with the G8X like you usually do

There's no reason for it not to. The controller software just needs to be set to where the standard touchscreen controls are on the 'gameplay' display, and it will mimic you touching there.
Watching on my LG G8X. Definitely happy with my choice to switch from Huawei.
Can you do water testing the phone and the dual screen?
Can you answer the phone while the dual screen cover is closed?
Excellent Joshua ! Nice video. Seen in San Juan, 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico.
if you think about it this is a way more practical application of a folding screen phone vs the Mate X or the Galaxy Fold
hell if you dont want to use the folding screen aspect you get a neat phone too
This is definitely better
I love the idea of this would love to try this phone.
Can You do a Video Comparing this New LG G8X Device vs the LG V50?
And will the LG G8X be Available in the US?
Josh I hit subscribe just because of that Long distance relationship bit
Hey Josh, your review was great! How do you feel this phone is useful or a benefit for someone that is in school full-time or wants to run a business with this phone as their main source of communication and hand held computer?
What's your opinion about purchasing lg g8x in 2020 ?
make a video on blackview max 1
So two people can use this at the same time with each their own screen?
Can two people play a game against each other on the same phone?
The gamepad looks amazing
Anybody know when it is coming out? Seems pretty cool tbh... I've had LG phones in the past but the pics have always been lackluster to me versus a comparable Samsung/Apple phone.
Thank you 💛
Amazing by best review i have seen by far...LG on fire!!!
A point every reviewer seems to hide is that when vertically holding the duo screen, it is inconvenient to do typing on either of the screens. You have to rotate horizontally and use one entire screen as the keyboard. What a pitfall.
The V60 improves upon this aesthetically and in function
Too big unfortunately
Must be cold where you live, it’s summer here :) Good review !
it would be great if you can check comments while watching the video
Nice Phone 😎
tell me more about your band you had around your arm
Is there a way to show the same display on both screens?
Dear what's about the brightness under the direct sun?
Hello Joshua I'm Joshua too can u confirm that ur phone (lg g8x thinq) have a Air motion control or hand I'd
Does the dual screen case work with the regular g8?
Probably not because this have USB 4.0 instead of the 3.0 on the g8
I like all LG's phone but i think that the best lg phone since V30
This is the best phone LG made after G6. Without 2nd screen of course.
Responding to messages without interrupting videos.
Loving it so far, how do you do the selfie camera as main camera so people in shot can see viewfinder so to speak ?
i have this phone. its pretty cool
Awesome
Good review👍
Is this accessory compatible also to LG G8s thinq?
Due to two screens battery may drain fast, may have bigger battery. Or second screen may have a low capacity battery around 2000 mah or something.
battery life is gonna be interesting
dont think the screen has a battery so itll rely on the main phones battery
Is there an estimated release date for this phone?
Amazing phone, thanks.
Perhaps for the lg g9(x)thinq you could customize the case front screen
Will this phone AND case be available in the United states? If so, whwn?
When? Idk. But I know for sure that the dual screen will be packed into the G8x.
@@SiamHossain7 Yep...and for $700 unlocked w/ dual screen included this time. Kudos to LG for really stepping up there!
Pre-orders this Friday and available just a week later. They aren't messing around.
This what I call innovation this n the new note 10 plus n the huawei 30 pro
Biggest question: can you safely have a screen protector on the main screen?
What's battery life of this phone.when single screen as well as dual screen.also please help me how much time it require while Charing
It's a shame that on carriers in Japan, only at best midrange LG smartphones are available.
And yes, MVNOs do exist. They dump you at the back of the queue for network access. And yes, carriers legally have to allow you to use any phone that works on their networks, but good luck actually getting them to.
Will it collect a lot more dust and dirt especially near and inside the hinges?
Did LG permanently glue the battery into the case to make it unreplaceable like they did with the G8 and give a big ol' FU to consumers, especially with that second screen wearing out the battery twice as fast?
3:45 is that Poki I see?
What about this "DAC" audio system this phone now features? Pros, cons?
What was the point in this video? It was basically identical to your review.
With Apple's money and market chops, this phone would easily be the phone of the year, and sell like crazy.
Unfortunatly it has LG for that and they are the worst in those regards.

4:30 ILLUSION 100
Need good temper and back case link to buy
👋 Hello
How you have the keyboard on a separate screen at 3:58 ? I have the phone but I can't do it
You have to use the stock LG keyboard there will be a setting
Is This Going To Be In The STATES, BOTH UNITS??? The Case
They should make folding phones in this style, a DS style phone looks better than a creased tablet imo
Any way to hide that notch??
