A written version of this with a bit more info here www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2019/10/30/lg-g8x-dual-screen-vs-samsung-galaxy-fold-real-world-usage-comparison
Hey Ben, have you tried using a different phone with the LG screen? Say, Oppo Reno Ace, in the case instead of the LG G8? Just to see if it will actually work..
I have the V60 with the dual screen and you can open it with one hand if you get your thumb in between the two screens and flick your wrist it will swing all the way around allowing you to clamp it closed with your hand and use it as a normal phone.
The Fold might look futuristic but the LG is waaaaaaaay more practical with the ability to run apps at full screen side by side and being fully IP68 certified while less fragile. Regular phone when you need it and a fully fledged foldable tablet at your command. I'm a Samsung user but I'll take the LG if I were looking for something like this👌💯
@@trinikenshin yes it is. It takes a day or two to get used to the LG UI but its really great. The speakers on the G8X is louder than the Note 9 too. I wanted the dual screen multitasking capability of the LG G8X.so I can run two apps at once. Navigiation and phone, etc.
@@mxsalm battery life is really good. Comparable to my Note 9. I can use it all day and still have at least 30 to 40% left when i get home at 5 to6pm. Thats using navigation a lot too.
@@mr.x.666 out of curiosity what is the penalty. We have harsh penalties in the us, but we dont care about each other...(some do, I mean on average)...
Tigerex966 he meant that some “reviewers” don’t even use them in normal day usage, they just boot them up, see some stats, show some photos and that’s it. The review takes more time to get used to the phone in everyday life and situations.
You are the first with this comparison that I wanted to see thanks. With a good car mount you could have google maps on one side, and spotify on the other, or one for passenger and one for driver, and it would puts most infotainment car systems to shame, because of it's speed and OLED 1080P vs cheap low res lcd. plus it has sd card headphone jack, and front and rear cameras. and a great selfie 4k 32 MB camera. I like that you can take the second screen attachment off when not needed.
Good review, makes a strong point for the G8X which I'll get next week when it goes on sale here in the US. Thanks I always look forward to your reviews.
Don't forget this awesome deal for the G8X, free on AT&T when you open a new line. Thank you for all of your videos on the G8X, they're what finally convinced me to buy one.
G8X is the phone that will resurect LG.... Love the practicality of that phone!! the second screen is optional! you are not stuck with it unless you want it... and finally they nade a 32mp FRONT CAMERA !! all rise to the king!
No issue is their hardware and software problems that have plagued them since g1. Also their customer serivce is nonexistent. I have lost all faith in LG. Bootloop after bootloop. Overheating. Lag. Garbage software experience. Need i say more?
I watched pretty much every phone review were on TH-cam....many hours a day doing this and yours are by far the best when it comes to daily use and hands on vids ....
great review ben. i made up my mind. i'm going with the lg. don't think that the samsung, folding screen will stand the test of time. also, the lg is water and dust resistant, with dual speaker and wireless charging at a very reasonable price.
2:16-2:26 That bit definitely shows why I much prefer dual screen over foldable screen and since the DualScreen accessory is detachable, I don't need to bring or use it all the time. I can use it when I need to and take it off when I don't need it. By contrast, I have to bring the foldable screen bulk of the Samsung all the time. Another plus points for the LG is microSD card slot, IP68 and MIL-STD-810G just like Nokia 800 Tough, and most importantly a 3.5mm headphone jack with Quad DAC from an audiophile point of view. It's a shame really that the G8X loses native telephoto camera.
Kudos Ben for your approach to reviews: First vid, introduce device, give overview and preliminary opinions. Second vid, use it in real life scenario, better understanding of device, informed opinions. Keep it up!
My first Liked, subscribed, bell icon video ;p, so refreshing to hear a pure neutral unbiased review while enjoying a nice trip with the reviewer. Hope to enjoy more combined phone including surroundings reviews, thanks and greets from Suriname.
Your review was very helpful. Nice to see the comparison in real life situations. My phone died and I was looking at getting the LG because of the price. Your video convinced me that the G8X is best option for my needs and budget.👍🏾
The LG G9 x will probably add a front screen now, and add a slim OLED Strip between the two screens on the hinge, that when open flat makes it look almost as seamless as the Galaxy Fold.
@@kurtislowe6749 well I won't say they are at the top but they were the reason behind today's smartphones .. I'm talking about the new aspect ratio (not so new today but still) and in this device, they made smth truly cool and they priced it *right* and I like that
@@xig4385 i own it. It's pretty slick but a few head scratchers. Horrible fingerprint sensor. No face Id. There launcher doesn't turn and work in landscape mode. Why would you make a landscape style device but the launcher can't even match it. Mostly i like it but installing a horrible fingerprint sensor while removing face id frustrates me to no end. Plus it launched with Android 9 while 10 is out. They just always seem so rushed and overlook important small details
This is just the comparison I was hoping for! I actually found you when I was contemplating getting the LG phone. Your review on that phone was the best! (I bought the phone by the way......) 👍😎
Your review helped me pick the G8X and I'm happy with it without the second screen as I have to wait for it to get here.cant wait for the duel screen. I had the V40 before I went to the note 10 plus. I liked my V40 so happy to be back with LG..Just hope they get better with updates.
Great video, thanks so much. I just ordered the LG and was able to get it for 449.00. Your comparisons plus the price point helped me decide. I just can't reconcile 2000 for the Fold and I'm not crazy about how narrow it is folded. Thanks again. 😊
Undoubtedly LG design is more cost effective and in real use case it has its advantages but I can't shake this feeling that LG today is just a former shadow of itself. G4 and G5 are great, and the V10 and V20 is truly peak LG inventiveness. The G8 tried with its time of flight sensor + camera, but it doesn't even work properly. So, best of luck for LG, hope they find their groove back.
Great info as usual! I still like my dirt cheap ZTE Axon M. Yes, it only has one camera, but it is great. The only down side is both screens are on the outside, So screen protectors are a must.
Both are really nice phone. LG G8X is definitely way affordable at $700 compare to Galaxy Fold at $2000. $1300 different can buy you a heck lot of accessories.
Not a One Thumbs Up, but, Two Thumbs Up and a HiFi too for your very beautiful for your outstanding review and a little side by side comparison with Galaxy fold...Which camera did you use for this video? It's very crystal clear, as if you were before my eyes....The city and locations are exceptionally beautiful...
ben's gadget reviews oh interesting. The video you did the review for the Osmo 3 seemed different. Good to know! I have the same setup and it’s been pretty good
Great review, I've been thinking about getting the fold but then saw the LG. Still thinking hard about it but I'll be making my mind up soon. Thanks again
Wooww..Did came Chiang Mai? I was here. feel sorry for not seeing you. You are my idol.😁😁..Next time if you want to have a nice travel here . you can contact me.i will guide you for free.😅😅
Hey Ben, 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?
As far as practical and useable features LG G8x is fantastic. Innovation wise this is just 10% Of LG's innovation standard they have done loooot more...
Love the detailes review. I have both (in Korea is called LG V50S tho) amd like u say they both have strengths and weaknesses. Both r great for sure tho!
Agreed , if it wasn't for the schlep of particles getting into the Fold it would be much better. Again many people have niche environments with one brand. Samsung Notebook, Gear, Note9, Buds and so forth.
What would you prefer ben ? Built in dual screens like zte axon m or optional second screen accessory ? Do you think dual screen and single big foldable screen can successfully coexist in the market ? I think dual screens will be niche & foldable screen will be mainstream considering it's big media consumption advantage.
Great video. Only one question: the case is all about utility. If you expect a lot of walking and point-shoot during the day, cant you just use the g8x without case on? Granted you have to carry extra hardware but I would trade that for utility and durability any day.
amazing review, my opinion is like you said the G8X is mainly for multi-tasking and the Fold is mainly for having a LARGE screen Samsung called me last month (since i submitted a request to buy "Galaxy Fold" back when they first time introduced it) lol but i've changed my mind since i got the Note 10+ but i'm still considering to buy a Galaxy Fold.. maybe Fold 2 or Fold 3 but hopefully it'll have: 1- glass screen (flexible glass) 2- water and dust resistance 3- S Pen 4- larger external screen
Thanks so much for the info. I just started following you cause I like how you go into depth with each phone. I can't believe the Fold is $2000.00 I can't afford it but I'll go with the LG since it is under $800.00 USD
I've watched both of your comparison videos on these two phones now, but you haven't mentioned the huge chasm between the gigabytes. Fold: 12GB of RAM and 512GB storage, but no add-on micro SD card space. I will have to go searching for the specs on the LG's gigs, but the one area aside from the screen when we consider new phones these days is the gigabytes. OK, I see now the LG has 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage but at least it's expandable. Does that have to be divided between the 2 screens?
I knew it, there is a crease on the galaxy, this phone wont last it will eventually crack from folding it thousands of times over the course of a year, just like a credit card. Also that crease will get more and more noticeable over time and eventually interfere with looking at the phone. Have you noticed it getting worse? Keep and eye on that and let us know. Drove around Shanghai? You're in Thailand bro
thank you for this info, i really like to buy the lg g8x... the foto quality of the lg g8x is really ok, i dont like foto shooting at night. And i found a reclaim for 500€ for the lg g8x, thats really when you think this phone had a second screen. Its not a bad deal. I like the UI of LG i dont know that run a litte bit smother then the samsung UI
Only in Asia you can put an expensive device on a table, walk away for a bit and come back and it still will be there. In Budapest or Sydney you can’t even blink and have your phone on the table like that.
I think the LG G8X is the best format for dual screen. It reminds me of Nintendo. LG G8X brings durability to the dual screen format. The G8X folds 360 so, for one hand use leave it open 360.
Samsung fold is for those that wanna show off their wealth. The folding screen will eventually have issues...no doubt about that. I'd take $700 over S$2000 and then go on a vacation with the money I saved.
I have the G8X, honestly i dont even bother with closing the fold anymore. i just flip the screen all the way to the back and use it like a regular phone until i need to multitask, which turns out i have to do a lot actually. i dropped it a few times already and still pretty solid, mind you i drop it at a pretty decent height. pretty solid phone.
Oooof. I had my heart set on the lg v60 when it comes out, hoping it comes with the dual screen. But this G8x has EVERYTHING I'm looking for! It may be the way to go
BEN GADGET , is there ear buds for the LG G8X DUAL SCREEN ??? i tangle alot with the earplog that comes with the cell , but here in PUERTO RICO , no store that sells the LG G8X sells them , and was told that there aint none for the LG , so ill apreciate if you have info were in U.S.A the ear buds are selling !!!
@Ben - I got an unlocked LG G8X and I'm bummed it doesn't include LG's proprietary messaging app. Its the dull Android/Google messaging app. Any way I can add the LG one?
@@bensgadgetreviews Don't laugh, but whay do i click on to see LG specific apps? LG really let me down and this is why their mobile phone sales struggle.
I love your reviews, I disagree with your comment at 5:00; if you know you will be needing quick uses of the g8x, you keep it folded reversed. This way you access the main screen directly. Same applies in case you need a quick photo, you use the selfie 32mp camera

@@mr.x.666 out of curiosity what is the penalty.
We have harsh penalties in the us, but we dont care about each other...(some do, I mean on average)...
The best way to review phones - just use them.
not many dothat though, they just read the stats and press release and glow for some brands, and dismiss the smaller ones.
This is why Ben is my fav reviewer
Tigerex966 he meant that some “reviewers” don’t even use them in normal day usage, they just boot them up, see some stats, show some photos and that’s it. The review takes more time to get used to the phone in everyday life and situations.
It's real journalism
@@Tigerex966 right, and many have ongoing business relationships with the tech companies, often undisclosed.
That's nice & great comparison, but for me LG G8X is the better...
You are the first with this comparison that I wanted to see thanks.

I like that you can take the second screen attachment off when not needed.
LG G8X makes sense to me, if I don't need 2 screens, I can just pop out the phone from the case and use it as a regular smartphone.
You could just fold it all the way open and use it that way as you're not really making use of the case
Exactly! You cannot do that with the Samsung.
Thanks for putting this out Ben. You're the only one doing detailed content on LG G8x. Appreciate it ✌️

I knew it, there is a crease on the galaxy, this phone wont last it will eventually crack from folding it thousands of times over the course of a year, just like a credit card. Also that crease will get more and more noticeable over time and eventually interfere with looking at the phone. Have you noticed it getting worse? Keep and eye on that and let us know. Drove around Shanghai? You're in Thailand bro
thank you for this info, i really like to buy the lg g8x... the foto quality of the lg g8x is really ok, i dont like foto shooting at night. And i found a reclaim for 500€ for the lg g8x, thats really when you think this phone had a second screen. Its not a bad deal. I like the UI of LG i dont know that run a litte bit smother then the samsung UI
Only in Asia you can put an expensive device on a table, walk away for a bit and come back and it still will be there. In Budapest or Sydney you can’t even blink and have your phone on the table like that.
Price aside which one do you think is better?
I think the LG G8X is the best format for dual screen. It reminds me of Nintendo. LG G8X brings durability to the dual screen format. The G8X folds 360 so, for one hand use leave it open 360.
Samsung fold is for those that wanna show off their wealth. The folding screen will eventually have issues...no doubt about that. I'd take $700 over S$2000 and then go on a vacation with the money I saved.
Do you think Samsung will make a dual screen phone to compete? Two Note 10 type screens would be nice!
I'd be very interested had they added a second battery on the lg.
SO WHAT PHONE WOULD U STAY WITH AFTER USING BOTH....
hi,may i know what camera are you using to record this video?its seem so stable
I'm using an iPhone 11 with a DJI osmo mobile gimbal
I watch this twice, great discussion, great work!
Thank you!
Which would you recommend? LG g8x or lg v50. I will get single screen for g8x.
I have the G8X, honestly i dont even bother with closing the fold anymore. i just flip the screen all the way to the back and use it like a regular phone until i need to multitask, which turns out i have to do a lot actually.
i dropped it a few times already and still pretty solid, mind you i drop it at a pretty decent height. pretty solid phone.
It has IP and military standard rating, so the LG is tough.
Great review! Thanks. Just purchased this phone to replace my iPhone 11.
Thank you Prince!
Awesome video comparisons as always
Used to live in Chiang Mai for 2 years, nice city.
Oooof. I had my heart set on the lg v60 when it comes out, hoping it comes with the dual screen. But this G8x has EVERYTHING I'm looking for! It may be the way to go
the v60 will have dual screens as well. It'd be better to wait
Good vid. Loving my new g8x.
Are you recording on a iphone11promax?
Yes I am
Which device you use for video recording ?
Plz ans
BEN GADGET , is there ear buds for the LG G8X DUAL SCREEN ??? i tangle alot with the earplog that comes with the cell , but here in PUERTO RICO , no store that sells the LG G8X sells them , and was told that there aint none for the LG , so ill apreciate if you have info were in U.S.A the ear buds are selling !!!
G8X is just more practical imo
@Ben - I got an unlocked LG G8X and I'm bummed it doesn't include LG's proprietary messaging app. Its the dull Android/Google messaging app. Any way I can add the LG one?
Hi, I’m not sure, sorry. Maybe check LG’s App Store?
@@bensgadgetreviews Don't laugh, but whay do i click on to see LG specific apps? LG really let me down and this is why their mobile phone sales struggle.
I love your reviews, I disagree with your comment at 5:00; if you know you will be needing quick uses of the g8x, you keep it folded reversed. This way you access the main screen directly.
Same applies in case you need a quick photo, you use the selfie 32mp camera
It looks better than Galaxy folder phone. I really want to buy this phone. Can you please tell me where I can buy this phone?
