You may have your eyes on the Samsung Galaxy Fold. But wait your time for the foldable phone revolution to unleash models that don't break so easily. Meanwhile, LG has ditched the niceties of flexible displays with its LG G8X ThinQ smartphone paired with the dual-screen LG, releasing details of the launch and pricing of its new phone and a secondary display combination in a statement from press. .
The new LG G8X will arrive in the United States on November 1. And the LG Dual Screen case will be launched right next door, so customers don't have to wait to discover the exciting possibilities a second screen offers.
Better still is the price announcement. The LG G8X launched at € 699. Given that the LG G8 started reaching € 800 upon arrival in the United States, the new price of the LG G8X seems much more reasonable. LG makes even more changes, the introductory price includes the LG dual screen in its package.
It will launch simultaneously on major US retailers and mobile operators, with pre-orders starting October 25.
Set expectations
We have already had the opportunity to get acquainted with the LG G8X ThinQ. It offers a certain degree of quality and finish, but it still feels a bit bland compared to killer cameras or upgraded displays on other flagship phones.
The dual display offers new uses and practical features. You can use it to house a large keyboard or video game controls. You can display photos as you take them, while the main screen continues to provide a live view of the camera. And of course you can run two apps side by side without having to group them on one screen, giving each app 6,4 inches of viewing space.
It's very powerful too, with a Snapdragon 855 chipset and 6GB of RAM. It comes with Android 9 Pie, instead of the new Android 10, but LG should have an update in the near future. Unfortunately, there is no 5G that helps protect the future of the LG G8X, but it certainly helps to keep the LG V50 price low at € 999.
For the price, and the potential utility, the LG G8X heralds it as a very interesting phone for 2019.
