Well, with the rising competition of smartphones, the old popular smartphone brand LG is also planning on resting its new smartphone model on the line-up after quite a long time. LG is soon going to release its new smartphone, the LG G8X ThinQ.

Coming to its type, the phone is somewhat very much different than its competitors as it’s a hybrid foldable phone which means the screen of the device doesn’t exactly fold in it but comes with a dual-screen snap-on case. On the device’s case, you will get a standard USB-C port which allows connecting the secondary screen.

Well, let’s have a quick overview of the device.

LG G8X ThinQ Overview

The G8X ThinQ comes in a sleek design with glass on both rear and front side. Like most of the smartphones these days, there is an in-display fingerprint scanner in this device too. And, most importantly the phone comes with military-grade-durability which might allure most of the smartphone enthusiasts.

Coming to the other unique feature of the device, the device is integrated with well-balanced speakers to provide perfect and crisp quality audio located on both the top and bottom of the device. And, don’t worry as the device will also have the regular 3.5mm headphone jack on it which have been killed in most of the phones these days.

More on, highlighting on the display features of the device, the LG G8X ThinQ flaunts a 6.4-inch OLED display which definitely supports Full HD+ resolution.

Similarly, you will also find a small 2.1 inch display at the front of the attachable cover which simply displays the time, date and regular notifications from the outside.

Additionally, between the two split screens, there is bezel in between which exactly differentiates them as two different screens. In fact, if you are expecting to watch video on a big widescreen by splitting the display, it’s not exactly designed for that. But the two displays are designed to perform two different tasks on the two screens, for instance, you can stream your favorite movie on one side while chatting with your friends on the other.
