[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] JimiBz:
I have had mine for 2 weeks with no issue, haven't even used the phone without the second display. Absolutely perfect!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] inzimam:
Ye since the second display is the same as the main one I wouldn't echoed) expect any issues. I'm b waiting for mine to be delivered to the UK from Spain. Taking ages!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Negan:
No issues here either. Mine's perfect
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] thomasanderson:
Gonna have to agree, the display on mine is perfectly fine so far, and Ive had the phone since 11/5. The only issue I have is the lack of support for games with the LG Gamepad(so I have to customize a lot). And the fact that only Chrome supports wide view. Really hope developers get on board with this tech soon. I am a multitasking beast with this phone. If LG can find a way to use the camera without having to open the case in the next generation, and can provide support with wide view for more apps, they can kill the game. The competition will be a lot stiffer next year with the Microsoft Duo and other devices of the like coming.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] cubano2031:
Do you have the AT&T version?? If so any way i can the the firmware for it? The unlocked one doesn't support wifi calling on AT&T unless i flash the ATT firmware...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
I've had the phone for a few days now, as for the secondary screen "problem" people are talking about: I don't have any problems with the secondary screen. It looks just as beautiful as the main one.

Really hoping someone can figure out how to "Wide screen" more apps. I wanna read books on this thing! Like a real book!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Yeah , mines only a day old but it's also exactly the same on both and looking and feeling great.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] seh6183:
Maybe these people really do have perfect screens or maybe they haven't examined the second screen in the dark yet.

Either way that doesn't fix the software problems. Only being able to use chrome in the "wide view" mode is unacceptable. Additionally the dual screen software stuff is really clunky and doesn't appear to have much time at all invested into it.

This coupled with a totally broken keyboard typing experience will ruin it for some. Also having a huge gap between the two screens wasnt smart either. They really could have tightened that up a lot, it makes viewing web pages in wide view really annoying.

And the case itself, how long do you think that hinge will last? Mine already started to squeak within a few days of using it. Just very cheaply made.

I will say that I am very excited to see how the Microsoft Duo performs next year though.

If you can get past the G8X shortcomings it's still a "good" device. However if you have the high standards of Apple/Samsung devices, it's issues will get to you given enough time.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] seh6183:
I have no disagreements at all with what you've said. I just want to elaborate on what I meant about the keyboard being broken. If you use the LG keyboard and type at any sort of reasonable speed, the auto correct can't keep up and you end up with a million errors in your paragraphs. If you type slow, the autocorrect gets the proper word ready for you so when you hit space bar it gets fixed. I remember this being a struggle on Samsung phones, but back on the Note 2! Come on LG we are way past those days.

I originally bought the LG as something to hold me over until the Duo came out, but I couldn't look past the things I mentioned and had to return it. What was worse though is that after using the LG, just like you said, the Note 10+ I have felt boring. So then I "had" to go out and drop that huge sum of money on the Galaxy Fold to feel content with my life lol!

The Fold was worth every penny though. And the only thing on the horizon that looks to get me away from my Fold, is another newer version of the Fold, or the Duo.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Yeah, I don't use the LG keyboard at all, I didn't like it the first two times I used it and switched over and never tried it again. Haha.

I remember those autocorrect slowness problems in the old Samsung's. It's infuriating. I totally feel you on the boring note part. I would love to move over to the Fold... If I could afford it. ?. I'm just worried about the sensitivity of it. I'm happy with this phone that I can just take it with me in the water. The IP rating and the MIL spec gives me confidence. I took my S8+ into the South Atlantic and it took fantastic videos underwater. I can't give that up anymore. Otherwise, I probably could have justified spending the money on the Fold. Maybe you could make a new thread just comparing your experiences with the Fold vs this phone. I would be very interested in reading that.

But yeah, definitely waiting for the Duo. That's going to be a day 1 purchase from me.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] seh6183:
The only problem with not using the LG keyboard is that when you're using dual screen mode and want to type something that's on the top screen (landscape mode) the keyboard comes up on the top screen, making it impossible to type with. On the LG keyboard the entire bottom screen becomes a keyboard and it's perfect.

Also I don't think the dual screen case is water proof so be careful.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
1. Can you connect the phone to dual screen in backward flipped mode (reversed USB type c)? For vlogging using rear cameras & 2nd screen?

2. What happens when you use dual screen and mirroring your screen wirelessly or wired?

3. What happens when you connect other phones to the USB c port of dual screen?

4. Can you use double dongle connected to your phone port and dual screen port? So it's more flexible in terms of usability

5. Secondary screen support haptic feedback vibration?

6. Can you hide 2nd screen notch?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Lol I never thought about doing this. I just tried it. Physically, you can do it, but it didn't activate the screen. Also, once the phone is in, there's no way to reach the little popup button since the window inside is very small.

However, in terms of vlogging, with good lighting, the front camera is very good. With decent to bad lighting, the front camera is horrible.

I haven't tried this yet. I'll try it when I get home tonight after work.

I don't have a USB-C extension, but physically its very hard to fit in other phones. Especially bigger ones like the Note 10+. The case is very tightly fitted and designed for the G8X. I can try to locate an extension and test this.

That is also a very interesting question. I'll try to find a dongle tonight (I may have one lying around) and try it out.

The screen itself doesn't, but to be honest, you feel the haptics reverberate through the case. It's most definitely not the same feeling, but since your brain is expecting it, and it's there, you don't register it as missing. I actually didn't think about it or realize that it's not there until just now when you specifically asked for it and I tested it. It's for sure not there, but since it carries over from the case it tricks your brain into thinking it is.

No. You can't.

Attached is a screen shot for the menu option to do this. A couple things about this:

1. You can't do it in "Night Mode" it needs to be in light mode only... Why? I don't know. That's incredibly stupid.

2. It only affects the main screen, not the second screen. Not sure why, but that's what I just experienced.

3. There's options for colors but you can't pick, it's just the 4 or whatever options you see there. Not even app specific. The app specific part is just having the notch there.

4. It's called New Second Screen but it has nothing to do with the second screen at all... I don't know if someone else understands why it's called this way... But that's what it is.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
1. What about using the dualscreen setting to automatically launch the apps when connected to dual screen? (Reversed flipped)

Also I think you need to try both sides (USB c) when trying dongle adapter. This might give different results

Does it have boombox sound? Is it a true proper balanced stereo speaker? Or big little stereo like a dual driver earphones?

What happen when you are in wide view mode, 'share' things to the other apps? Will this launch other apps in wide view mode?

What happen when you access camera using third party apps & put the dual screen to the back, blocking the rear view?

(There's a possibility to make this big resolution camera as telephoto cam, 2x zoom, 8mp)

Can you Install 'device hw info'

And see the info of camera & screen section (dual screen connected)?

Do you use gcam? Does Google photos gallery work together with Google camera in dual screen? I'm one of gcam developer

Does both screen support HDR video content?

Can u apply dual tempered glass for both displays? Is there enough room for that?

Can u increase the touch screen sensitivity and make anything conductive as a stylus?

No haptic feedback on secondary screen? So there must be a big difference in the UI UX feel on both screen? Like camera zoom slider? Keyboard typing?

What happen when u launch Multi-Window in wide view? Can you just slide the separating line and close the first and open the second app in fullscreen wide view?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
So when you have the dual screen case on, you need to be careful how you plug in the magnetic dongle. Lightning side up supports data transfer, lightning side down does not. I still have to do all the tests for dongles/extensions. Will post back when I do those.

It does have stereo sound, but the headset speaker (not speaker phone) is definitely lighter. So it's not balanced. Sound is just ok. Compared to my Note 10+, I liked the speakers on that phone much more. However, headphones sound amazing on this phone.

When you launch any other app, it blacks the screen and reloads the original app (i.e. Chrome) as well as the new app (like email or Google Maps) in a single screen and the second screen is back at the home screen.

When you're in a camera and close the dual screen, it just blocks the camera. You see through the camera, it's just dark. Sorry I don't understand what you mean by possibility to make this big resolution camera...

Screenshot attached without second screen and will attach screenshot with second screen soon.

I do not use gcam yet, the phone takes OK pictures. They're kinda bad in low light, I think my Note was better. But in good lighting, the pictures are good. This is all from the stock camera though. I haven't tried Google camera yet. I have a very strong hunch it won't work in dual screen mode. Google photos doesn't work in dual screen mode. Only the LG gallery app does. If you could make Gcam work with dual screen mode, I would most definitely use that instead of the built in app.

Yes. According to the reported display metrics, they both support HDR. I haven't tried it, so I can't visually see/tell, but according to the software, they both do.

No. You can apply to one, but you can already see the case doesn't close as snugly as it used to before. I have one on the main phone screen. My protector is also kind of thick. Maybe you can try with a thinner one.

There is an option for this. Screenshot attached.

Like I said, for keyboard typing, you feel a slight vibration from the whole device body because the phone still vibrates, it's just not directly underneath. It just feels like the vibration is set to very low. There's definitely a difference, but you can still feel it and it doesn't feel much worse unless you're looking for it.

You simply can't. As soon as you press the multitask (recents) button in wide view, it throws you back into the original single screen before it opens the recent applications list.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
So, no more resonance chamber boombox effect when laying on flat surface?

Can you use glove with increases touchscreen sensitivity? If you can do it, you can make everything conductive as capacitive stylus

I need to see the HW Device info of the camera section. To see all the camera sensors. Please
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
I have not heard such sounds while laying it flat, but I haven't done it much. Just once to test it.

Honestly, I don't even own any gloves. It seems to work through shirts and stuff, but I feel like glove material/thickness may be different....

Sure, attached to this post.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
? So yeah, you can use LG capacitive thin tip Stylo on this phone ?

Does it work equally on both display?

Can you Install 'Opencamera' and see the resolution supported on front camera? Does it support 4K & 32mp output? Does it support 4:3 video recording?

This is weird that the wide angle only listed as 99° not 135°. What about the raw output & third party app access on wide lens? Is it 99° or 135°?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
LOL I suppose you can, depending on how good it really is. Yeah, both screens seem to respond to touches through cloth.

Screenshots attached. Let me know if you need any more info on anything from this app.

Yeah, I realize now that you're right it only says 99. I'm not sure why. I have no idea how to look at angle access to lenses. Is there something I can do/check to verify that?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
All those screenshots were from the front camera. Here's the info from the back camera. I'm not sure how to swap lenses for the back camera. If you know how, just let me know and i'll try out the other one.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
Technically this front cam doesn't support a real 4K (8.3mp) recording in 16:9 since the sensor is only 8mp. It's like LG v20 8mp wide angle lens upscaling the footage pretending it supports 4k recording
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] SirataXero:
Isn't the front sensor a 32 MP sensor just using pixel binning? Is the binning done OS/App side or on the camera firmware?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Merken_:
Hi,

I have just got the EU variant of the LG G8X in Belgium, the sales person said it should support 5G for the EU region, LG claims this is as well on their website.

The packaging is a bit different, I've got a set of wired earbuds and a TPU case included in the box.

Feel free to ask any questions...

Cheers
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] harysviewty:
It's definitely a default configuration suggested by Samsung (the sensor maker), since the sensor itself doesn't support full resolution raw readout.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] inzimam:
Can you share photos of what you got in the box?

Is it really a 5g phone?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Merken_:
Sure.

5G has not been rolled out in Belgium, yet. So I can't really test this. However, I got confirmation from official LG Support that this is supported, also on the LG website for Belgium it states that 5G NR (new radio) is supported.

The box contained the Phone, the Dual Screen accessory, a magnetic USB C adapter for the Dual Screen Case, wired earbuds, a clear TPU case, sim ejector tool, the USB C wall adapter, a USB A to USB C cable and a black cloth for cleaning the screen
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] inzimam:
Thanks! The clear case is a nice touch as I will probably keep the phone in the dual screen case only when travelling, but it might be too bulky for day to day use. I'm coming from a Samsung S9 which is significantly shorter so the LG G8X handset alone is going to be an increase in size!

I'm in the UK, waiting on my Spanish version to be delivered. I ordered in last Wed, it's on route finally so maybe before the weekend? In the age of Amazon Prime next day, this wait is killing me!
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Merken_:
It is a bulky setup, indeed. I might switch back and forth between the Dual Screen and the case as well

Thx a lot for your answer.

But I cannot imagine that LG is producing phones 3xclusive for tg3 German market.

Must be for the european market like Belgium.

When you switch on the first time it is mentioning, that you can use only with European Union cards for the first half an hour.

May be on German website it is just not mentioned because our 5 G network is not really existing [emoji6]

There is a small paper, there it is mentioned, that the phone will be unlocked only with an EU Sim. Countries are mentioned there.

After min half an hour constant use the phone is open for all countries

Keyboard on one screen and messaging on the other?

I thought I had seen a video of someone texting on one of the screens with the keyboard on the other, but I can't figure out how to do that. Considering that Verizon doesn't even recognize this phone, I guess I shouldn't be surprised about this. Did I misunderstand the video?

Thanks.

I think that only works with the default keyboard. If you changed it to Gboard or something it won't work

Has anyone tried a different launcher such as Nova Launcher?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] rainbowtuba:
I'm using Nova Launcher. The second screen is always "second launcher", which looks and acts very similarly to the main LG Launcher. Changing launchers does not effect the second screen. The most annoying difference for me is I prefer the up-down scrolling in the app list, which Nova has, but Second Launcher still uses left-right app list scrolling.

So yes, it only puts Nova on the main display
