LG G8X ThinQ: Is a Dual-Screen BETTER than a Foldable? By Pocketnow

There's, a very interesting craze in the market today, where oz recessed with giving us a larger display and a smaller form factor. They claim that this is what consumers want, and we've seen Huawei and Samsung work hard to give us a foldable tablet, smartphone, but we're still waiting for it. Lg, on the other hand, launched the LG, be 50. Thank you back at MWC, and even if it was exclusive only to Korea, they had an attachable case that allowed you to have an extended display. Whenever you wanted and a smartphone, whenever you didn't, as it turns out, it seems that the approach worked. The company is launching version 2 I'm.

He met every battle with pocket now, and I had an opportunity to play with the LG G 8x. Thank you here at A?fe, 2019, first, disclaimer according to LG. This is not final software, not final hardware. We should expect changes whenever we get our final review units, one of the dual display well, according to LG, they sold 500,000 units of the V 50. So that's proof to them that this is the most proven form factor.

According to their statement, which, for me, it's rather interesting, also disclaimer I was able to play with the B 50 and the dual display before coming to Eva. So I have a little experience with the form factor. It's been rather interesting, though this new unit actually has some refinements see the LG G 8 X has a six point. Four inch OLED display and the dual display on this one is an exact copy, meaning the same exact hardware on the side, all the way down to the notch design. Sadly, even if only for cosmetic purposes, the whole idea is for both this place to age the same compared to the previous dual display.

This one is lighter, thinner, consumes 10%, less power and as a larger display. The outer cover also has a two point: one inch mini OLED to provide notifications. At the same time, it is also now USB to help consume less power, and the case has an interesting pen adapter for charging. In case you prefer wire, though wireless charging is supported and, yes, like its predecessor, it does open in 360 degrees for those of you who want to use it as a phone, while still using the case, you'd assume that it consumes double the power, but LG claims that it only consumes 20% more of the phone's battery if used during a whole day. For example, LG gave us a couple of usage scenarios like extending the view of an application or using them separate for better multitasking options for using one screen as a gaming pad that you can customize or even use a full keyboard on one screen and your display on the other.

Sadly, we were only shown some of these demos that I couldn't record these on camera. We weren't able to replicate them on our units. Obviously, we'll have to wait for the full review for that to be shown off. There are some neat tricks, like the three finger swipe to drag an application from one screen to another or using one screen as a selfie flash for the other. Oh, and right there is the LG G 8x.

Thank you. Don't think I forgot about it. It looks a lot like the g8 in a nutshell, but it does have some changes that are interesting. For example, the display is now only 1080p. Internals are similar.

We have a Qualcomm Snapdragon, a 55 60 X of ram 128 gigs of storage expandable, along with the four thousand William power battery that supports Qualcomm, quick charge for even if the adapter in the box is not compatible. It's also IP 68 water in this resistant, mil spec egg, 10g and the cameras are 12 megapixels, of, 1.8 and 13 megapixels I'd have to point for in the ultra-wide. We change this mostly at the front, and both good and bad, like the Z camera is now dead. Instead, we now have a smaller notch. With a 32 megapixel camera the does pixel finding at 8 megapixels at 1.6 microns. We also have a traditional earpiece instead of a vibrating display and the dual firing speakers are actually now balanced at 1.2 watts each. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is a headphone jack along with LG's 32-bit quad DAC and to assist them having the whole dual display.

Experience be better. There's actually an optical fingerprint scanner at the front, instead of at the back to make it more practical. Another thing that changed, finally is LG's user inner. If you joined me in not liking it in the past, the improvements include updates to visual elements, to make it more modern-looking and also the fact that navigation buttons were now moved to the bottom to improve one-handed use. Obviously, again, these are things that we will have to test to provide you more feedback.

But yes, this is the LGG 8x. Thank you. What do you think? Do you agree with the approach of having a dual display as a better solution to a foldable? In my case, I'll tell you this much I like the idea of not having a display that can easily break for so much money, so it could be a good solution to have a modular display that you can use whenever you need to detach whenever you don't. It might be good, but obviously we'll have to test it in the real world and tell you if it's actually delivering on its promise.
