- LG G8X Review! I like this phone a lot. LG has done an amazing job of straddling their usual premium phone strategy, while also competing in a space closer to OnePlus for pricing. Unique features, great performance, excellent battery. There aren't many weaknesses here. Let's dig in! LG G8X REVIEW IS GO!

Juan is like LG, one of the best out there but not getting enough recognition. 😔
The LGenius
Juan will always, keep the headphone jack :)
He's the Quad Juan DAC
It's their updates. I 100% wanted this phone but their updates mean there's 0 chance of buying this phone
how long do you do with a phone? 1 year 2 years? 5 years... I dont care about version upgrades because its hard to tel 1 android version from the next and afet 2 years ill be on my second new phone . and i can tell you upgrading to new versions is a pain in the @$$ i just upgrades my sony zx3 to android 10... and I'm not seeing anything different that i did not have in version 9... version 9 runs a lot better..... then 10 on my phone i can tell you im dealing with hickups and slowdowns and incompatible software... as long that you get security updates its oke.
c est normal lg g8 est sortit et 6 moi apres lg sort le lg g8x pourqoi ils n ont pas sorti
lg g8
lg g8s
lg g8x
en meme temps comme samsung
s10e s10 et s10plus pour le choix et le porte money
Regardless of what bigger tech youtubers try to persuade, I think LG did good this year from the G8, V50, and the G8X
Main issue, it was a ROUGH year for LG's distribution.
Yeah. Much more desirable this year than like the last 4 years.
Sony too
Also bad advertisement. And then they stop after like a month or 2 after it comes out while others promotes their new phones for like 6 months. Still love them though, I know LG for what it really is.
So should I get V50 or the G8X? The symmetric dual screen and the case improvements seem to be worth the trade off.
Juan is the only reviewer that shows LG the respect it deserves. Watching this on my G8x and enjoying it. All done LG.
How is the battery life?
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS well it's only been a few days but so far no complaints. Full day no problem. 4000mah.
@@BLACKHOLE498 thanks for the response I been looking at this phone for a while I'm using s10+ but kinda getting tired of curved screens want a flat screen phone and this one is the only one with the features I need
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS no problem..I've been using LG phones for a number of years and haven't had any issues. There's also the V50 which is an under the radar beast of a phone.
Ben Sin from Forbes, Asia is also very objective and has good videos and articles. Not as good as Juat, but I also folow him. Hi's more focused on the asian market, but it reviews al the inportant western launches.
Today received android 11 😍, silky smooth...wow LG. I was a samsung user and moved to iPhone due to the laggy touchwiz. Got G8x as a secondary phone but now this is my primary device. Even after shutting down the mobile division LG is still supporting us. Please come back LG in 3 years when I plan to upgrade from this amazing phone.
I appreciate that you have a spine and are ready to bash any manufacturer when bashing is deserved.
Stay genuine.
And any reviewer
Best review of this unit yet! It checked every box I wanted in a phone since I can't get any good HTC phones on Sprint anymore.
That's the aftermath of those who only wanna talk about and praise Samsung and iPhone.
I'm glad I have it. I'm also annoyed by those knock off "dual screen attachments" that show up on social media feeds claiming they can go to any phone. Scammers.
This review literally made me get this phone thank you Juan!!!
I really liked what you said in the last part of the video! That shud thing.
I love your impartial reviews of everything. I've heard so many people start off their review on this phone just bashing it before highlighting everything it does well. It's a shame. Thank you for restoring my confidence in this sector. 😘
First time viewer of your reviews.
I found it very informative and entertaining.
Thank you!
We are upgrading today from our G7's - I had a G5 first and we love our LG phones! They can have their iPhones and it's lil emoji's I can get more work done with this phone. Can't wait to see the dual screens! Good review and thanks!
Absolutely loved the review as always
I'm pretty new to your channel and I can't even express how satisfying it is to watch your recent tech videos. What a breathe of fresh air. It has become nauseating to watch video after video of a single product and hear nothing but regurgitating of the same exact info and specs almost verbatim to the last "review". We are seeing less and less constructive and actual useful information for the possible would-be consumer about using the products and instead we're fed the same hive mind bullshit and reading of spec sheets. This is very refreshing in the current state of tech reviews. Keep doing what you're doing.
juzt because this review I will subscribe, I believe you are the most impartial and objective tech youtuber and that is so refreshing
Juan - You and a handful of other reviewers (Painfully Honest Tech and Ben's Gadget Reviews) are amongst the few reviewers I have seen that delves into a phone and shows the consumer what works and what doesn't work regardless of brand. Keep up the great work!
Consistently consistent work. Keep being one of the most impartial tech reviewers on TH-cam. Breath of fresh air for people like me. Love your content, as always. 👍
🙂👍
Great review! My Lg v35 still one of the best phones I purchased love the cameras. Keep up the great work 👍
Still rockin' my V30. Best phone I have ever had.
Great video man, your videos are the reason I bought an LG G8 and I love it. I switched from a galaxy s10
Thank you! Finally a guy who makes sense. Subscribing now!
A Double Thumbs Up and a HiFi too for your outstanding review of the Double Screened LG G8 X and a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 20 20.... Double Numbers.... hahaha
Always enjoy your reviews brother, miss your camera reviews, not trying to say anything i know i can pay to watch them :) God bless. this LG is my favorite device this year by far until the MS dual screen device is launched there will be no competition , and right now it will fit my needs and will save me from carrying 2 phones all day long .
Juan I just got this phone a week ago and I man I love of the features and the multitasking is great😊😊😊
again the best man on earth to do the full deep dive you didn't miss anything to cover , man I wish I could find the G8 korean variant in my country
Frek yes man speak on the little guys!!! So hard to get a solid LG review
Bold , Honest and true to point review . Thanks for the review man . I hope many techtubers are like you .
Love your style, keep being you
I mean this is my first LG since the V20 and I'm loving it. Coming from the Note 9, it really is nice! Plus the free dual screen from Sprint won me over 😂
And the free TV 😆
They just giving EVERYTHING away LOL
@@SomeGadgetGuy if it's free it's for me 😂
This my upgrade to V20. I ran that thing into the ground cause it feels like outside of this device most manufacturers are taking away features for thinner safe boring phones while LG is actually innovating and trying to provide a unique experience
Still on my V20, love the phone. And I'm between this or a V40/50. I'm really gonna miss the IR. And still work great, only problem been that the second battery bloated so much it pooed the screen out on one side. Tho the screen is undamaged. So it just have some tape between the screen protector and the phone, making sure if it pops the other side screen doesn't fall.
I use LG heavily in my home (washer,dryer,dishwasher). I've never paid much attention to their phones, and wow - How amazing. I'm buying one of these tonight! Thanks for being my favorite reviewer/fellow tech person!
I really like your videos man, very specific and fun! I wish you improved your thumbnails tho
Why?
This was a great review. Thanks for an unbiased "real" review. Just ordered it this morning on Amazon. This phone is now $650 with same day shipping. Can't wait to get it and try it out.
Amazing video. Hope you keep making LG smartphone videos :)
A few phone manufacturers out there deserve better coverage...
Hey Juan i really love your channel. I am using a lg g8x and i am happy with it. Can you tell me from where have you got that stylus pen you were using on the phone.
Ha ha! I really enjoy your reviews. They are funny and informative at the same time. Great work. 👍
Awesome as always...I've had mine two weeks and got it for free by adding a line on AT&T. Since I've had it, my Note 9 hadn't been getting much love. Keep up the good work!
It's a REALLY good fight right! I still miss S-Pen, and I REALLY hope LG can make a DEX competitor next year, but this year's LGs have been wonderfully competitive.
Solid review!
Just ordered this and I'm excited to go back to Lg! I had G flex and G pro 2. I like big phones but disappointed when they released G flex 2 and no successor to the G pro 2. Currently using Nokia 7+ but having issues on usb port. Thanks for the review and great content. Subbed! Hope your channel will reach 1m soon! Stay safe.
😊👍
Hello I really enjoyed your review! What's the name of that shooter game closer to the start of the video?
This is why you are my favorite tech reviewer. I have a Note 10plus and an iPhome XS Max and a Pixel 4XL. I just ordered my LG G8X as I miss the DAC that was on my old G7. I've had a few other LG phones in the past from the 3D camera one, to the G3, G5 and V10. They are the underdogs for sure but I hope they keep making exceptional devices.
Fingers crossed they can pivot and don't end up like HTC.
Thank you, I was waiting for this review of yours! The power button is hard to reach? Weird question I know, but I'd go for the standard G8 if it was available in my country, but it's not. And here it seems they moved it higher on the frame.
This might be the one to finally replace my BlackBerry Priv.
I know, I'm a dinosaur, but I just love this slider.
Great review, Waiting on my 2nd screen from LG. What Game was that? at the 1:51 mark.
I'm insanely glad you actually review phones instead of just doing the same ol same ol. I've said it before, you are the reason I bought the v20. Because of that I also bought the v40 and g8. I have yet to be disappointed outside of battery life (the g8 is actually good).
Juan what brilliant honest review of an amazing and again out of the box thinking phone from LG.
Love your work.
I love this comment 🙂
It’s so nerdy and awesome. It also reminds me of slider keyboard phones, some of my first phones I got as a kid. LG is pure nostalgia
Excellent review!
Watching this video on my LG G4, having sold the Pixel 3 XL and waiting for my first LG V series phone, the LG V40 6/128 in Carmine Red this week. 😁
Also I had G7 and G8s.
That's QUITE a round up there. 😁
I seriously consider to buying the G8X but here in Greece where I live LG had stopped to bring her smartphones official since almost 4 years.. And now the only way to buy LG phones straight from Greece is by resellers..and costs 900€ bundled with second screen which is very pricey for me..so I decided to buy LG V40 new for 357 euros which I have been wanting since it was announced
and waiting for the G8X to drop it's price.
now this is the reason I have subscribed to you
I totally agree with this review. Nailed it!
Great review✌️✌️✌️ LG know what consumers need!!!
Awesome review man! On the topic of hi res headphone jack output, xiaomi seems to be advertising their new phones as capable of hi res output. Would love to see you put them to the test when they come out 🙏
I'd REALLY hope that to be true. It would be nice to have ANY extra competition for headphone audio.
Juan makes it fun to listen to stuff I don't understand.
Thanks For Making This Video.. LG Rocks!!!🔥
Thanks to your excellent review I just got this for $10 a month at, of all places, AT&T.
LOL I hope you dig the new phone!
I really love this phone. U keep up the lg coverage. Please test the lg pf50k mini projector.
Rear display fingerprint readers are 100% the answer for foldables. Idk how lg thought me opening the phone and then unlocking it was a better idea than me doing it in one motion
Great review!
👍
OMG HEXEN!! I used to play that so much and loved it more than Doom/Wolfenstein. Think it's because it had a certain aura around it. Loved the review, now time to watch the v60 undercut Samsung with even more features.
Awesome review Juan. I have the LG V50S and I fall in love with it more and more each day. GREAT JOB LG!!!!
I keep telling people. Last couple years of LG have been REALLY solid.
What's the v50s? Is that the v50 with only one screen?
Why_are_there _no_names No it has 2 as well... it is just the imported version of this phone with 5G
Yeah, depending on region there were variations on the same idea, but I think Gadget Godess is right. If a phone is a "G" it's 4G. If it's a "50" it has 5G. I think.
@@SomeGadgetGuy after some intense googling. The LG v50s is a Korean exclusive variant of the lg v50 with more ram and storage but a lower resolution screen with a g8x style notch?
thanks for the informative video. what pen do you use with this phone?
Just a basic fine point Wacom. It's not an active pen. Just capacitive.
One I don't have. But want. Thanks for info Juan
👍
Can I get a link to that stylus you were using. I got my wife a G8X for Christmas and I think the 🖊 will be a nice addition.
Thanx a lot! And what's about heating during gaming and shooting?
Which stylus you are using here??? Thank you.
As a fellow fan of lg devices (I currently have the v30s+ and the g6), would a regular g8 with the second screen option be a better overall phone to the g8x? Or does the g8x do the second screen thing better? I really enjoyed your videos on this device.
Hi Juan. can i get the link where i canbuy online the magnetic adapter? Thanks a lot. Happy new year.
Man I really love my g8x. The 2 screens are amazing and I bought a case so when I go to work I only take the phone. But I am having a serious issue with the fingerprint and I sure miss the fingerprint in the back. Wish we could have both that would be awesome!
Or if they would enable knock code 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The FP sensor is garbage for sure
I ended up returning it I'll wait till it gets better and slimmer or someone makes a better one. I certainly did live it but that fp was killing me
@@readytoridehouston bro can we apply screen guard or it gets in the way of the dual screen case???
Got mine about 2 weeks ago and as others have said the fingerprint sensor is crap. I disabled it for unlocking the phone went with the passcode. Luckily for Banking and other things the fingerprint sensor still works fine which is odd.
This video needs more views!
I LOVE YOUR DIGS AT LG BASHERS! 😁😁😁
11:29 that creepy laugh though.....😆😋
Juan is so refreshing. Understands and helps others understand the LG niche. As long as LG has the bombest DAC and hp jack I'm sold. That one feature wins every time. Musicians like me love that we can use the outstanding video features combined with badass sound reproduction to record our performances without schlepping tons of gear. Something many people don't even think about. We are lucky to have you Juan to bring us honest and practical info about the phones we love. I love the comments about the anti-LG types. Funny! Thanks!
Great review! Did you face any problem with the selfie camera not focusing properly? Apparently there is no AF in this camera module, just fixed focus on infinity. I am not worry about selfies, but about video calls. Would hate to have the camera focusing on the background rather than my face during a work call.
Lg is always my fave im an engineer and never had to worry about my lg's durability even before the creation of gorilla glass, Lg may not be the best for fanciness but is in this guys opinion the best for durability w/ other features that either contend with or beat the other competitors....soooooooo, THANK YOU LG, Redknight/ /Red2902 loves you.
Also I just subbed and already love your channel like a fan boy because your reviews are, simply put, exactly what i been looking for....reviewing individual functions and then looking at it as a whole with all the pros and cons from each feature awesome, if you did durability reviews would make this channel 100x better for me(also just love seeing something destroied or even a destruction attempt)
LOL there one thing i just can't get into. Not a fan of gadget destruction porn 😁
Would love to have seen a pen added somehow. Better software and security updates also!
What stylus is that? I'm considering this phone but I neeeeed a stylus since I've always been a Galaxy note user
Hey Juan what is the name of the action shooter game you were playing at the beginning of the video? Thanks
Indeed a good one! (And) that laugh at @11:31 though😂💥🔥
All I can hear when reviewers offer "advice" to smaller brands...
@@SomeGadgetGuy been a LG fan biy since the L series, grew from a Fino to a G6 a couple years back - all I can say is they do it first (not sp good but thus, reveal the idea to the Sam-pples) and voila, a device comes an year later!😏
I just bought the X yesterday, can't wait for my dual case. Upgraded from a Galaxy 8+ it is taking some getting use to to the LG. I have been a Samsung user for 3 or 4 phones.
This dual screen deal was to good to pass up.
Good review and you have a new subscriber.
🙂👍
What kind of cases do ppl recommend of this can take one and do I cover all 3 screens with protection
You are ubercool Juan! Subscribed and have always watched your LG review. Can you give me an advice? I'm split between V50 and V50s/G8X, which one is better this will be my first dual screen phone. Thanks Juan😊
That's tough. I think the V50 is the better standalone phone, but the dual screen on the G8X is definitely nicer. It kind of depends on how you THINK you'll use the phone standalone and with dual displays, but I'd personally lean a little more towards the V50.
@@SomeGadgetGuy I really appreciate your answer, Juan. I think I'd still go for V50 then (plus its price has dropped) ! greetings from 🇲🇨 in 🇲🇾
@@SomeGadgetGuy hi Juan! one more question, which one do u prefer? V60 or V50?I'm migrating from V20. Thanksss. I really appreciate your response. I can't make up my mind.
Best reviewer ever. You have my support forever
😊👍
Had for a few weeks and love it!
Amen. Watching this on my G8X. Love this phone.
How is ur experiencetill now is it worth it for $350 today
I really want this phone because I like the added muti-tasking possibility along with the design being perfect for gaming
Good reasons to consider the phone 😊
Purchasing a phone this week, Buddy. Should I get the G8x or V60. Thanks
The LG G8X, does it have the Swipe and Home Gesture Button? Found by accident on a LG Stylo 5 taken a little to get used wouldn't use anything else love it just 1 button that does so much.
Where to get lg phones online? Im trying to get the v50 or the 3 rear cameras g8 to be delivered here but couldnt find it on amazon
Can this be hooked up to a tv or monitor and used as pc replacement with keyboard and mouse input?
My first smartphone was a LG G2, kind of considering going back to them after a year spent with Huawei..
Hey Juan, if they were the same price with the dual screen would you choose the V50 or G8X? I've been trying to get a V60 as I REALLY want the Wacom support but it's proving impossible in the UK 😭
1:01 Awww I remembered my LG Vu. I actually liked the 4:3 phone. That was one of the phones that reviewers also panned to obscurity because it did not fit in with the cool phones.
LG vu would've been a big success if it supported tablet low DPI scaling
LG did successfully pioneering 18:9 (kf700 g6) and 21:9 (bl40 gw990)
I LUSTED after this phone. Got the chance to pick one up for cheap, and I had to grab it, even though it's a locked Verizon model.
Harys Viewty yeah, plus the stylus is not stowed within the phone like the note2. But still, that phone was not bad. Just wasn’t cool enough for the reviewers.
What stylus did you have? I am coming from a note 9 and want to use a stylus.
LG did really good starting from G6 imho..that phone is just $50 in my country and still gets android pie,not sure which one to pick though between V50 and G8 since both have great manual modes..am gonna upgrade from my current LG G7
Hey great videos would you have a idea as to when android 10 will come to the lg g8x in Canada thanks
No idea. Seems the order will be G8, V50, then G8X. The V50 betas look real good.
which phone would you recommend, lg v50 or g8x ? I plan to use the phone with the dual screen case.
I am about to buy a new phone and it's either V50 or g8x. What is important other than quad dac, is battery life.
How more battery life do you get in single screen mode with the g8x over the V50?
I've had LGs and Samsung's. My Samsung's have always crapped out quick. Battery would die quickly over time, everything would run slower faster, and would just drop calls and not send texts, etc. LGs have always been sturdy, last long, and stay fast. I've had this fiesta for over 2.5 years and it still runs fast and gives me no problems. Battery is just now slimming down, but still after using TH-cam and Facebook for hours, I'll go to bed with 30% battery. Granted my brightness is only 35%, but that's a battery drain the higher it is. Overall, I love and trust LG. I'm scared to go back to a Samsung. Lg has always been good to me, from the flip phones, to EnV, to cheaper end smart phones. LG is highly underrated!! Thanks Juan, I think I may pick this up in a few months for an upgrade.
I have never been an apple fan. My first cell phone was an lg 265 flip phone with the glass front. Have never gone anything other than samsung or LG most recently LG G7. I just got the LG G8 dual screen a couple days ago. I absolutely love it. Can do things on my phone that no one else can either on a samsung or iPhone device. Have most my friends with iPhones when they see my phone they want to switch. I love having something different to what everyone else has.
It's really nice having some fresh competition. 🙂
I love LG phones , its underrated because of their pr market . i have g7 its so fast , the camera is good and so is the battery is good
What does the fox say 11:31
what is that pen that he uses to control the phone?
What is that keyboard you show a few times?
