[u][b]The Design and Display[/b][/u]

The LG G8X ThinQ has a design that is very familiar among some set of LG Mobile Phones released in 2019. It features design cues that appear to have been taken from the likes of the LG G8 ThinQ and the LG V50 ThinQ. It sort of an interesting replica with minor disparities.

This smartphone has in its build, a combination of glass and aluminum. There is a Corning Gorilla Glass 6 upfront, an aluminum frame in the middle and a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the rear. The LG G8X ThinQ is rated IP68. This means it is dust resistant and water-resistant to survive up to 30 minutes in 1.5 metres of water.

LG isn’t offering users with options for color variants. If you do decide to go for the smartphone would have to stick to New Aurora Black.

The front of this Android Phone is home to a 6.4-inch OLED display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 and a screen density of 403ppi. The LG G8X ThinQ has an 83.3 percent screen to body ratio. This value tells us how closer its display is to the edges.

[u][b]The LG G8X ThinQ Transforms into A Dual Screen Smartphone[/b][/u]

The LG G8X ThinQ comes with a folio case in the box. This folio case gives it dual-screen functionality. There is a connector inside the case, that helps to bridge the display in the folio case with that of the phone.

This dual-display system lets you perform the ultimate multitasking. You could be streaming an educational Youtube video on of the screens and taking notes on the other screen. You can also spread your gaming controls on one of the screen tabs. This and lots more are some of the applications of this dual display case.

This case comes with two screens. There is a monochrome screen on the front, which gives details on time, weather and lots more. Opening the case, you get the same display as what we have on the LG G8X Thing Q.

[u][b]The Cameras[/b][/u]

The LG G8X ThinQ comes with a total of three cameras. These cameras have been tuned to produces beautiful images. But how beautiful the images taken with this device. Taking photos in good conditions tells a lot about how photos and videos taking this camera would be crisp.

[u][b]Hardware and Software[/b][/u]

Having a smartphone with the kind of specs would have earned it the “Performance Monster” name if this smartphone was released late last year. The emergence of smartphones with specs configuration very similar to what we have here makes the it a regular flagship.

The LG G8X ThinQ features an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. This processor is a 7nm processor, with clock speeds varying from 2.84 on max to 2.42 and to 1.78 on idle.
