- LG sent me the LG G8X dual screen phone to test out so I took it through a common day of mine, did a battery test and took photos on it (and other comparable phones) to do a camera test with it, too.
Let me know what you think!

As usual, LG is too underrated.
Highly
100000% agree
I got mine like 2 weeks ago.. unlike other I wasn't so lucky on getting both screen, had to order it, still waiting but I'm not going to Samsung anytime soon unless the Microsoft dual pro come out 👌🏽
@@Afrodominican. same here. Purchased March 7th 2020. Still havent received the other screen.
@@coryforcia9975 probably bc of the virus bro
This is LG, second dual screen attempt, after listening to customers and addressing complaints, adding refinement to the LG V50 experiment, which was a small hit in Korea, selling 500000 units (which is huge for LG).
I think they did a great job.
The phone without the case is a solid competitor to the iphone 11 max and samsung Note 10, for hundreds less, and with more features, but for the best photos/videos, you have to learn to use the manual modes effectively.
Even without the case, it is a worthy competitor to the iphone 11 max, aside from faster processor, slightly higher resolution, max brightness and tele lens and ios software features of the iphone, you gain quad dac/amp, headphone jack, sd card, flush cameras, better arguably selfie cam, and have 6gb/128gb vs 4gb/64 gb, smaller notch and 2 year warranty., pro video and audio mode.
Against the note 10 again you lose the tele, max brightness, have less memory and storage, no curve glass, nole instead of a notch, samsung design, but you gain quad dac/amp, headphone jack, flush cameras, and sd card and 2 year warranty.
one plus has the larger brighter screen, 90 hz display, no notch, tele lens, but no official water resistance, no wireless charging, no quad dac/amp, no headphone jack, no flush cameras, no sd card, no 2 year warranty.
And than LG allows you to use it with one or 2 screens for approx 4600x1080P total resolution, not including the third front screen.
So as of right now, this along with the discounted LG G8 which debut at $619 street price and is now around $4-$600 and has ther highest ppi among 1440p phones and a real traditional secure finger print scanner and secure face unlock on the same phone while keeping LG's trademark flush cameras, sd card, quad dac/amp and headphone jack and 2 year warranty. are the best phone values along with the base Rog phone 2 by Asus.

if you include the LG v10 and V20 this is their 4th attempt at duo or more screens.
@@tinetannies4637 I agree I prefer the traditional fingerprint scanner and class leading ppi among its phones which LG started.
I also like the secure face unlock
New g8x has a larger screen smaller notch inferior in display scanner and no secure face unlock.
But I got to say the dual screen is super useful
But the LG g8 is just around $400 new that's $200 off its launch price which makes it along with the g8x and Asus rog 2 the nmbrst phone values this year.
But as usual TH-cam's tech channels are brainwashed by apple Samsung and Google.
IPhone is the biggest rip off by far in all versions only iOS and it's fast benchmarking CPU and GPU Dave it but they are memory starved and do not have true multitasking.
But it is true often developers optimize their apps better for the low memory iPhone and don't take advantage of Qualcomm's chips and extra memory as much as they could.
Preach that shit...
@@Tigerex966 537 ppi 6.4 qhd full vision display on my V40 is amazing
@@kevinwhiting8391 yes it is!
This device is great for youtube. Watching and viewing comments at the same time.
What?! that battery life is actually amazing considering that it's powering two screens.
That's what we call bias. For dual screen mobile gaming and the Quad DAC alone this pricing is a killer.
I wonder how it performs when you don't have the second screen attached
Galaxy fold has higher battery life
@@michaelhazellful and almost 3x the price
@@quchi7232 yeah we can buy 2 G8X and have double the battery life. Hahaha.
And still have money left for some high end headphones.
Great video David!!! I was actually impressed by most of the photos from the G8X, and that dual-screen case is a very neat accessory. I could see myself really enjoying this phone, even though I am not a huge LG fan.
Got mine today. As a long-time LG fan and user, this is an awesome product of theirs
Got mine today! I'm growing fond of it.

@@bongit4204 how it works? I have contacted one seller, want to sell in 30K Indian rs. Is it good to buy in todays time after so many other smartphone available in market?
Thanks. I have the 8x and so far I'm really liking it. I do a lot of multitasking and it's durable.
Lg came out with a dual screen about 15 years ago for telus and it was an amazing phone.. if it wasn't for the battery.. I'd still be using it..
LG rocks
Amazing review man one of the best I've seen, and you have fine taste in food as well.
But iced coffee? Savage..
Greetings from Australia. Great video. You put it together well. I would have like to hear more about the audio quality but I don't know what you've covered in previous videos. Good work.
Man, you got it made, you are living the high life!
So I've now had the LG G8X for over a week now and I came from my first LG phone being the V30+. After months of searching for a new phone with nothing being in a competitive price range and still being an improvement from the V30, I nearly ended up giving my mother my upgrade and keeping my V30 for another year till her contract could get a new phone. Unfortunately One plus isn't available in South Africa but once I saw this and that it cost the same per month I decided I'd give it a go, and thank goodness I did. Its camera is a big improvement on an already great camera. The speakers are amazing and with the much larger battery it lasts far longer. The V30 lasted over a day with high usage and this can last up to two days. However the duel screen as amazing as it is(basically making the galaxy fold irrelevant) it uses up the battery making the overall life slightly less than my 2 year old V30. The second screen is an amazing feature that I love to use but if I'm just going out and don't need it I leave it at home and don't end up missing it. When I'm home it is perfect to use while I relax. This phone really is another example of LG pioneering something that in 2 years will become the norm and it works really well.
I have the V30 - do you feel like the camera is better on the G8x? The specs look slightly worse so I was worried about upgrading. Mostly worried about low light performance.
Daniel it is a month ago that you post a comment. I can't make up my mind. I also have the V30+ and still happy with it. Are you still happy with the G8X?
So I would say that some developer features are lost going over and small features overall. But it is a super solid phone with definitely better cameras and will get better update support being a newer phone. The front camera is a little disappointing but still a slight improvement over the V30. The rear camera is a massive improvement. The bigger battery takes the phone to 2 days of heavy use and one day with the duel screen. But when I say one day I mean 24 hours and about 38-44 hours. It's definitely a upgrade but the V30 was also such a good phone that its able to keep up with this pretty well.
@@danielbekker3683 thank you for the feedback. My mind was set on the V50 dual screen. It's sad that S.A didn't get the V50 dual screen. I love the specs. Can't think why we didn't get it since we had the V series till 40.
@@hadams6126 yea I agree but strangely enough the V50s battery will die faster on that duel screen due to the pogo pins on the back. The G8 plugs in via the USB c port so it's more efficient. And the V50s screen isn't the same size as the duel screen where on the G8 they are exactly the same. So the G8x is actually a more refined package compared to the V50

LG cameras are all about the pro manual modes, if you do not use, you lose.
If you want everything auto, sideload Gcam for best results.
LG auto cams are quite superb
@@doobedi they are getting there, but usually are one step behind google and apple and samsung, that is starting to change though.
@@Tigerex966 i wont say one step behind.They are right there with the other cams. The V50 and G8 cams are quite on point.
Lg cameras are beast on manual mode 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah your right lg phones are manual king but about the auto mode its not so good in the past its just ok but this year Haha its whole lot different if you have 2019 lg flaship phone and beyond the auto mode is top notch no need for gcam no need for any 3rd party aps that's occupying the storage and what am i really referring to is the original g8 the lg g8 is the best lg flagship this year compared to v50, v50s,g8x and g8s
Absolutely Amazing phone. Watching from Assam, India.
The main selling point of this phone was the dual screens (especially getting it for free), as I'm always switching between multiple apps and being able to do two at a time is awesome! I had the Note 8 and was going to go with the Note 10, but given this had the same 128g storage, headphone jack, plus extra sim card storage, I was sold - okay, the price point was amazing also. I've had it two days now, and I'm loving the battery life, the sound is nice, clear and loud enough to where I don't have to break out my bluetooth speaker when not using my headphones. I tested the front-facing 32mp camera and it was very clear and sharp, so I look forward to using that while doing my vlogging. This phone almost fits in my Note 8 case, except the buttons are just a bit off. Please note that you will have to order the dual screen separately and wait a few weeks before you get it. At times, I don't see much difference between them, even though I don't have a stylus with the LG. Frankly, I got the Note for the stylus but wound up not using it as much as I thought I would, so I'm not missing it.
Love those real world test videos.
How's the in-screen fingerprint reader? I've read a few reviews saying it's not that good. Thanks.
I just ordered my lg g8x yesterday. I have the lg g8 , it's a pretty good phone no problems with it at all. Will have to see the difference between both 🤘
I don’t understand why no one talks about LGs 3.5 mm jack audio quality...... it’s beyond any other mobile brand available in the market
So i have a v40 and i was thinking of buying the g8x since its on sale right now for around 300$. And i have a few questions, is the camera better? And is there support for RAW file
Interesting device! The battery life seems better than mine haha
I like it. I am getting it tomorrow for watching Netflix on one screen and messaging/browsing on the other. I get it for $0 with 2 year contract + corporate plan so I'm not losing much.
Will that case with the added screen work on a standard LG g8 as a upgrade?
Ive been using LG phones since the G2, G4, V20, V30+, now the G8X ... Absolutely love it and cant wait for my free screen!
Is the battery life good?
I was loyal LG since the G3 as well, this phone drove me away,
Last month, in india, LG sold this device just for 20k rs, i.e around 250$. I also got one. Really amazing device....
How ur experience till now
If you fancy just that dual screen, then don't go for it. You will get bored of it within two weeks. I use it bcoz i invest in stock market, so this is really an amazing tool for multitasking. And build quality is amazing. Also phone is not camera centric, but there are so many options in camera software, it do pretty good with that 12 mp sensor. Ip 68 rating is also something you don't get easily at this price rang. If you want to buy it now, don't go beyond 250$, go as per your need....
Hi, It's around $350 on Flipkart right now. Where did you get the$250 deal? How would you compare it to other midrange premium phones in India? Thanks
More than its camera and battery, people are loving its dual screen which can act independently when needed and allow you accomplish two tasks in a single go. This is one of the best options for the gamers and perhaps this LG smartphone has taught people the real meaning of multitasking. Kudos!
The main reason why LG came out with this design is to capture the mobile gaming market and in this video there was no mention of the many controllers and with the option on one to custom make your own controller. I never seen Nintendo do that. With the controller screen separate from game screen there is no loss of space in the game. I like the photo comparison especially with iphone 11. Thee first time watching this video I thought the iphone was better with the photos. Watching it second time [ from my LG G Pad X 10.1 ] I turned up the brightness to 100% and paused each photo frame. Even though in some photos the iphone did slightly better with contrast and accurate color the LG did much better showing clear and better detail in background and put more detail in the frame from the mural all 3 others couldn't. LG uses a different aperture in their camera lens in every high end phone to mid-range phone from the other OEMs that LG photos all suffer with over exposer from light saturation from bright lights, like in the apartment in background from the camera shot. However LG highend phones from the V series does have manual custom camera settings that you could control whiteness. I haven't seen one video for LG G8X camera comparison with any camera settings. I went to my local AT&T store in Winter Haven, FL to see the LG G8X in action. It was on display but somebody stole the charger and it had a dead battery. I still plan to buy one next week to upgrade from my LG V20. The LG G8X has a 855 Snapdragon processor, 6GB of Ram, 128 GB of storage, a bigger 6.4 DUEL OLED FTC Screens, Andriod Pie, and Stereo Sound from the front. By the way full price on AT&T is $780 and Sprint $749. When I bought my LG V20 from AT&T in October 2016 It for $830. Of all carriers they had the highest price. A phone with a dual screen included is a true bargain for under $800. LG is Sponsoring Season 3 of ESL Mobile Open. Finalist while competing in the Finals at DreamHack Atlanta will use the LG G8X. Dual Screen.
If we use email or excels, does keyboard go to 2nd screen or does it have that support?
How is it for reading in the kindle app? Does it wide screen for reading??
How is the speed on this device and thanks for the video
I booked from flipkart LG8x.
1. Currently running on which andriod any software update issue.
2. Good for 2-3 years or not.
3. 4g network Carrier aggregation is present or not.
If you type an email ks there an option for one screen to be the keyboard and the other the email body?
Wait a second, LG did the wide angle lens first on the V10 not G5. Granted it was on the front camera first then LG put it on the back for the G5.
Photos from LG G8x were great though sometimes even better than iphone 11 .
Especially with the wide angle lens. Natural color temperature too I might add.
idk why some people treat LG like a 3rd rate a company. When it comes to photos they are within the top 3 in the west. For video they trade with Apple who is the best. Well at least the V series does. Their software is also well rounded. Efficient but not weak. Powerful but not inadequate. Their hardware is also premium, and highly refined. LG has some really good engineers.
This time around i went oneplus 7 pro. Simply taste. I miss LGs always on display and quck capture the most.
One Plus won the race
@@PYQ_SSC The OnePlus photos were horrible compared to the LG in this video.
Great video! It would be interesting to see how much it lasts in your real-world test without the second screen.
Here after Flipkart shows under 20k for big billion days. Gonna buy
Yes, LG has pioneered a great deal of tech, but has no been given the appropriate credit.**
Picked one up, got the screen. Also a TV!!! all as part of the promotion
Only thing to know is, that you'll have to wait for the dual screen case 3 to 6 weeks is what they said. I got my case in a week.
Great video👍
Thank you!
@@TheUnlockr No problem 👌...
would android auto still work with the case on? i'm guessing that adapter doesn't transfer data, that will kind of suck.
Yes it will still work
Love this phone, battery life is great. Best phone for the money and the dual screen is awesome.
How is the quality of the second screen in the case compared to the phone's screen? And how is the audio quality?
Excellent.
I have the Galaxy Fold! I bought this LG G8X with the dual screen accessory. I've had the phone for about an hour. When it comes to straight multitasking I prefer this over the Fold just because I can have 2 full apps running at the same time. When it comes to full screen video though, the fold is the better phone.
Hi Darrion. Can you please give us you opinion on camera results from LG G8X? I saw already some videos saying, camera is not on a good level. Especially front camera (reffering Mathew Monitz´s video). Thanks
@@ppborland honestly bro, I haven't even used it because I figured it couldn't compete directly with my Galaxy Fold Or Note 10+. Now I can't say it's trash, because again I haven't used it once but I wouldn't be surprised if it was bad.
@@TechxGremlin what do you mean compete directly? The post sound like its contradicting itself from your most recent message.
@@damiennroddy I'm talking specifically about the camera. I didn't buy the LG with any hope or use for the camera. I wouldn't expect any $700 Android phone to compete quality wise with higher in end phone. Not saying it couldn't or wouldn't, I just didn't expect it to even before buying the phone. If I did use the LG camera I wouldn't be disappointed if I didn't have high hopes for it to begin with. Some people will trash a phone for it's camera because their expectations or opinions are already set so high.
What's wirh the red tint in all the pictures? Anyone notice that?
Great video as always and a great phone to review. No concerns with scratching the screen or getting dirt underneath it cough 😷 (Samsung).
As for the battery life. It’s powering two screen not one and it’s showing great promise in that dept.
Nice to see you can fold the dual screen backward 360*
What’s the network signal like? Just as good as other LGs of old?
Camera wise photos are good. Photos come with lots of detail like the other phones. Wide angle brings more into the view finder than the others although portrait and night mode are slightly blurred but nothing that can’t be improved by an update. But damn the photos of the rog 2 phone. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again they do look nice 👍
Video is always commendable with LG so no complaints there.
The only negatives I can think of are the phone is wide and with the dual screen, wider still and when closed with the dual screen can you answer calls with the earpiece without having to open the dual screen to get to the phone to answer a call?
Yes, you can!
@Unlockr - please do a complete walkthrough!
So good photo
In a sale in Flipkart in India we are getting this phone 250-300 dollar range...I should buy it or not ?...Also sale is not a fake one as it is fully supported by lg through its official Twitter handle... please reply ???
I have a doubt between the lg v50 and the lg g8x, which would be better for games, I hear that the g8x is better for games, how about that, it will be true that it is more atomized
This guy is worth subscribing for phone reviews
How does the G8X camera compare to the G8?
Love the video! How about a lgg8x vs oneplus7t comparison video?
does it support connecting Monitor using Type C to HDMI Cable. Like Samsung DEX. ? Not expecting DEX Type UI.. but even if it support external monitor.. will be great add
Finally a phone I can play a game on and not have my FINGERS in the way..
It can actually run 2 games at the same time just for shits and giggles.
Yeah tried it with a grinding game and a mmorpg at the same time. Runs perfectly and didnt even get hot at all
Damn right
So with LG G8X and LG V50 5G, which is the best option for camera??? (and gaming too)
It's a really solid deal but I'm loving my LG G7 still and don't feel the need to upgrade since I usually wait for major improvements and additions first like a 90Hz display and significant battery life and camera improvements.
Did you use the phone's camera for the full video? There were a lot of very slick shots, but I don't want to think it was the phone's camera if it was your video camera!
Do you think that we can still get it for 250$ in india?
Please provide link of wallpaper u r using
Is this phone support wireless charging?
does it have a eco mode that saves battery life?
So nice phone i love it so much, hoping someday i can have a phone like that
Whats its charging time with 3.0 and 4.0 chargers??
Nice real world review!, Can you check if it's possible to split each screen separately therefore having 4 different apps open? Or only on the main phone thereby having three for multitasking like the Galaxy fold, thanks, lastly any idea as I have T-Mobile whether I could purchase the AT&t branded and slip in the T-Mobile SIM ?, Since I can't seem to find the unlocked version in the United States....Dan
FYI, BestBuy has the fully unlocked version for $650 this week !
Can you pick a call with closed case??
There are no lg mobile authorised service centre in Vizag, should I buy LG Mobile or not? How is their customer service?
The one they sell in Korea is called the V50S (not sure why). Pretty cool experience. I do wish the battery lasted a little bit longer. Other than that for the price you pay is pretty great!
Let see in future
Can we connect two different wifi on both screen ??? Plz tell bro
No, Bro. It works as another screen, an extension, not a different phone
6:12 mention that clock description. thanks
Help! S10 plus or lg g8x?
I have loved LG phones for a long time. I don't understand why they don't get more respect. I'm currently using the LG V40 and the only thing I really miss from the V20 is the IR blaster that gave me such a great universal remote. And I mean UNIVERSAL!!! As in I could take control of TVs in diners and bars if I was growing nauseous of what was being played with a couple quick sly taps.
LG LOVE
LG makes the BEST!!!!
Gotta have one!

@@Bigbully88 you also get a free tv too.
@@Fyahking619 free tv??????
@@Bigbully88 yes, a free 43in 4k tv from LG.

This should make for the perfect TH-cam Vlogging camera, you do not need a tripod, as it is it's own stand, 32MP, and stabization and 4k Video on the front lens, monitor latency free with wired headphone, and use the inline mic on your headphones for audio or the excellent 24 bit native layered stereo recording app, along with manual controls and asmr.
I mean Apple finally added the weide angle this year, and stereo recording last year, all the while LG has had both for half a decade, making it have a cult following along youtubers that actually shoot and edit their videos on their phones.
Yet many youtubers apple/google/samsung centered youtube channels, still said apple was the creative phone of choice for all of those years...NOT!
Apple is just now catching up, by copying the best of android, it does have a slight lead in sythetic Antutu/Geekbench benchmarks, but in real world use test, it often does not finish anywhere near first, because of lack of optimization in video editing and rendering apps, , no true multitasking, lack of ram, thermal throttling and lately bugs in 13.2 causing it to make you reload open apps.
And even non Samsung OLED"s like the 1000 nit 6.6 color accurate 120HZ $600 ROG 2 are now class leading and do not thermal throttle as bad.
And other oleds are just not as bright on max, but let you decide saturated or not and custom tune it to your liking, and Sony up's that by giving you a 4K OLED.
So it's closer than ever in phone android competition makes them innovate to stand out, while Apple's monopoly of ios means it can wait four years with the same design and simply add android feats 5 years after the fact, and make it seem like something special.
wireless charging, dual and triple rear cameras, tele, wide angle, stereo recording, larger batteries, oleds, higher than 720P screens, and still no true multitasking.
What phone background is that?
More coming soon... Why do I have the feeling soon will not eventuate (like the g5 mods) ?
I think a separate, non dual screen attachment, video should be done as well for people that want the G8X as a stand-alone device. At least as far as battery life is concerned.
Finally found some one appreciating the most underrated phone manufacturer.... LG those wide angle lenses in G6 the best, mil grade built quality, water resistant and 3.5 mm jack with Hi-Dac..... everything else best quality packed and now losing to Chinese phones due to poor marketing and sleepy security and os updates.
The Naver Whale browser is able to utilize both screens as well. It doesn't stretch across both screens like chrome, but it allows you to open 2 tabs at the same time (one on each screen). Chrome can't do this and I find it to be really great for multitasking.
Automatic Concert Mode like V30 ??
Can you do a review without the second screen?
He probably could, but good luck keeping a grip on the phone!! It is like trying to squeeze Jello! Mine, literally, would slide across an even flat surface and fall off the table on its own.
@@corysherban3308 what?! Fall off the table, what kinda haunted place are you in?
