LG DOUBLE DOUBLE SCREEN WITH THE G8X THINQ

LG has announced the G8X ThinQ, a new flagship phone that sees the return of the dual-screen concept that the company introduced with the V50 ThinQ earlier this year ..



Introducing the G8X ThinQ at the IFA fair in Berlin, LG said the dual display is the only new and proven form factor in the phone market, a not-so-subtle excavation in the folding gaps of Samsung and Huawei, while revealing that the new model has some design updates in the iteration view along with the 5G V50 phone: read our preview to find out what we think of the changes so far.

On the one hand, the second screen has grown to 6.4 inches, since 6.2 last time, but the most important thing is that the new 360-degree Freestop hinge will let you rest at any angle, instead of locking in the established positions, which should make it friendlier to view content on one screen while browsing the other, or to use the lower screen as a game panel in compatible games.

The correction of the other critical point of the first model is a small 2.1-inch OLED screen built into the exterior of the dual screen to show the time, date and notifications while the case is closed.

As for the phone itself, there is a 6.4-inch OLED FHD + OLED panel with a fingerprint sensor on the screen. The Snapdragon 855, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage complete the main specifications, while a 4,000 mAh battery should help compensate for the additional battery consumption of the dual display and the IP68 water and dust resistance along with the MIL-STD-810G standard test drop means it should be a tough little thing.

The dual camera, 12Mp main and wide-angle of 13Mp, features what LG calls 'Extreme Steady Cam' image stabilization, a 4K time-lapse mode and an AI Action Shot mode that claims to recognize the speed of moving subjects and automatically adjust the shutter speed and exposure to avoid blurry shots. Meanwhile, audio enthusiasts can activate a mode with enhanced microphone sensitivity for recordings ASMR.

Unlike the normal G8, it has only one selfie camera, although it has 32Mp, which means that there is no flight time camera and, therefore, it is not compatible with Air Motion controls or very doubtful hand identification He introduced that phone.

LG is also using the to launch LG UX 9.0, the latest version of its patented Android skin, which fattens the sources and introduces a dark mode and one-handed operation options along with a number of other minor adjustments.


There is still no release date or price on the G8X ThinQ, but it is expected to come close to a great price, even without the dual screen add-on. It is likely to be published in the United States, but the United Kingdom is not so sure, while the V50 reached the British coast, the normal G8 never did, and this could be the same.
