LG G8X ThinQ: 8 Reasons Why It's The Most Underrated Phone of 2019 By Jonathan Casey

What's up everybody, my name is Jonathan. Welcome to my channel I hope you guys are having a great day today. We're going to be talking about the LG G 8 X. This is LG's latest flagship, and it's been a long time since I got, you know, excited about an LG phone, but after using this one, this is a phone that I think you should know about and in fact, I think that this is the most underrated phone of 2019, and this is 8 reasons why I think that the first reason comes down to price. The LG GO is a six hundred $99 thumb. Now for that price you get a snapdragon, 855, 128, gigabytes of storage and six gigabytes of RAM.

If you look at equivalent flagships that are on the market, that's a pretty big difference in terms of price reason. Number two is a dual screen case. This thing is awesome and the fact that LG is giving it to you for free practically with the cost of the phone is incredible. So for anybody that wants to experience what a foldable phone would be like in terms of having two different windows or two different screens, you're able to do that with the g8x without breaking the bank and paying 2,000 to $1500. For that feature, Plus this isn't embedded into the design of the phone.

So when you don't need the dual screen, you can just take the phone out of the case, and now it's a slimmer form factor to fit in your pocket. I really like that, not to mention the screen on the case is actually the exact same panel as the one being used on the g8 x, which is a 1080p panel. It has the same exact, color accuracy, same exact, brightness same sharpness, so everything is going to be very cohesive when you're using the two side-by-side. But the downside of this is the fact that, since it is the same panel, the dual screen case also has a notch, just like the g8 X, but I can live with that now. Typically, I would think that this is nothing but a gimmick, but after using it I say having the dual screen case is a game-changer.

You can do a lot of things like running side by side apps. You can run three apps at once. Even you have different features for gaming, including the ability to turn one of the screens into a virtual controller, making your gaming a little more immersive. You can also use it as a tripod if you're watching a video- and you don't want to prop up your phone or don't have a kickstand, and you also use it as a viewfinder for getting low angle, shots pretty cool reason. Number three: the LG G 8x has an SD card slot.

In a world where SD card slots are phasing out, LG still managed to give you one inside their most recent flagship. The only other phone that I can think of that is equipped with one in terms of being a flagship. Is the Galaxy Note Tim, Plus, and you're paying a lot more for that phone reason? Number four: it has a headphone jack, just like the SD card slot companies are phasing out the headphone jack. So it's really nice to see LG, giving you both of those in one phone and to go one step further. You still get the quad DAC with that headphone jack.

So definitely awesome. Reason number five. This thing has a four thousand William hour battery with fast wireless charging and fast cable charging, and when you look at the price point of this phone compared to other flagships, I think that's pretty impressive reason: number six. It has an N display fingerprint scanner granted. It's not the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, that's found in the Galaxy Note 10, no 10 plus or the galaxy s 10, but it's really fast.

In fact, I would compare it to the OnePlus and display fingerprint scanner- it's maybe not as quick, but it's still really fast and much faster than the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner found on the note, 10 in note, 10 plus reason number seven. This thing is built like a tank, so you don't have to worry about babying your phone. In fact, when I was on vacation, I dropped. It like three times because it kept sliding out of my pocket and there are no cracks. There are no shatters, there's no damage to the screen, there's a few little chips on the corners, but that's about it so that ip68 rating definitely makes a difference, especially when you look at the price point again of this phone and finally reason number eight is the camera, while it's not as good as the pixel for Excel or the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, it's still good for LG.

They fixed a lot of the things that have plagued LG cameras in the past, and they've improved it, while also adding new features. You get a standard in a wide camera on the back, but something that I've never seen on any other phone. Is it has a fish eye mode that you can activate for Stills and for video, it's not as prominent and video, but you could definitely see it for Stills, you get 4k up to 60 frames per second on the rear camera, and you get 4k on the front camera with stabilization. To me, that's a win, there's also a new ASMR mode. This is something that I've never seen on any other phone, just like the fish eye effect.

It is a bit gimmicky, since all it's doing is increasing the sensitivity of the mic and raising the volume, but I think with some software improvements. It could be a lot better. Furthermore, it's just nice to see a unique feature to LG phones that I have not seen on any other flagship, so kind of cool. You get portrait mode, video on the front and back cameras again, a nice touch, plus you have manual control for your video and your photos, something that Samsung took away with their latest one UI updates and yeah I'm really happy to see manual control for video so thumbs up to LG. For that, and the last thing is the fact that the front-facing camera is now 32 megapixels, which is a major bump from previous iterations.

We all know that megapixels aren't everything, but there has been some processing improvements here to go along with that higher megapixel count, so you're going to get some great selfies. Well that about does it for this video. Let me know down in the comments section: what do you think of the LG G 8x?
