[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I'm going to address your concerns, one by one, not to be hostile, but to give a different perspective.

As I said, I've only had this phone one day, so if you don't think I've had enough exposure, fair enough, but I'm trying to be as impartial as possible after confessing that I love this one.

I've been on a 4 hour video call with my wife, while having the video on the first screen, second screen, as a floating window and closed, in all mannerisms. I never saw a single issue/difference between screens. I also used the dual window in pitch black, while in bed with the lights off for another 3 hours, no differences/issues. I don't have days off experience, but I have many hours all together in pitch black.

100% can't argue there. However, I wouldn't call them software problems. That implies that the things don't work as they should. It is meant to not support other apps wide view. Not all of them are "compatible". Even Chrome, when it has a thumb print requiring login, that is "broken". However everything else works exactly as intended/advertised. I agree that only a few apps supporting wide view is not enough, that's why I'm trying my best to figure out how to make other apps support it, and when I do, I will post it here in a new thread. However, I 100% agree that the software is clunky and definitely not thought all the way through, but I never consider it a problem or find it exceptionally frustrating or not working as intended. Maybe I watched enough videos in the beginning about it and new everything that was coming a month before, but I'm not surprised or disappointed by anything, frankly.

Haha definitely agree. Typing on one screen while having the dual screen enabled is an exercise in frustration. The wide view keyboard is serviceable, but annoying when you're not used to it. I will spend some more time with the horizontal keyboard and report back but I'm usually not a horizontal phone can anyway, but I'll try it out on this cuz of the "laptop-like" experience.

The gap between the screen is 100% expected, talked about, shown, reviewed ad nauseum. This was not a surprise going in, it was an active decision. I agree that it can get annoying, but I feel like I'm getting more used to it as time goes on. I've even gotten used to typing with it, though a bit annoying, I'm getting better at it over time. In my opinion, this is subjective. You can either get more used to it and learn to live with it, or it will bother you more and more over time.

Again, I've only had it for a day, so I can't argue this. In the 24 hours I've held this thing, to me it seems really solid and well built frankly, but, I will hold my judgement until I've had it for a while.

Absolutely! This device is a stopgap (especially at this price) for me, until the Duo comes out.

I think, just like any device, this phone has it's shortcomings. I'm coming from the Note 10+ and I will absolutely admit that the Note 10+ is miles ahead of this phone. Feel free to spend 1200 on that phone. I did. It's worth it too. However, I would strongly recommend buying the note 9. It's the exact same phone, just a year older and half the price, or the note 8. It has a few lesser features, but exact same phone. What I'm trying to say is that I'm coming from years of Notes. The best of the best. However it's gotten stale and boring and stagnant. This phone and it's ideas are a breath of fresh air (that's a bit more reserved than the wild experiment that is the Galaxy Fold).

Sorry this is very long, but I just wanted to offer an alternative perspective as someone who expected the shortcomings and is excited about the potential.
