Don’t want to jump into foldable phones just yet? The LG G8X ThinQ doubles the screen without the risk and high price tag of the Galaxy Fold.

CORRECTION: At 1:18 — LG Includes a magnetic USB‑C accessory that allows users to charge the phone in its case.
looking at this with a picard facepalm posture
Very tempting.
A real good option ! Cudos Lg !
take two phones, install small hinges together, you literally have the g8x
dat screen looks similar as the p30 lite LOL
I would rather get a one plus 7 pro
oohh wow! I havent heard for awhile from LG.. its about time they have something new.
How it handles books? Could the 2 screens be used as a regular book does? 1 page each?
you CAN charge the phone within the case with the included magnetic usb‑c adapter!
I held lg flagship phone and they feel very premium..
DOUBLE NOTCH!!!!!! :O
What about wireless charging while in the case?
although I’m happy that LG gets more attention, this is a poor introduction… providing false information in the video then correct in the comment sucks.
Better than other foldable phone. At least with this you can switch depends on your need.
Will this be available only on att platform?
Using a touchscreen smart phone then saying it collects finger prints. Thaaaaaanks
Who’s selling it for under $800? And it’s just for AT&T. I’m confused.
It folds the wrong way.
How dose It emulate a Nintendo DS?
Isn’t this lg v50
stupid
I love my v30, so this seems like a must be for me. And it has a headphone jack..
Watch Juan bagnell for more in depth review.
Yeah hate to have to remove it just to change what were they thinking
It can charge while in the case with the included adapter!
its really thicccc
If they had this on Verizon for 700 I would probably replace my note 9 with it.
Cannot decide if I think the dual screen as a case is a brilliant idea or a cop out gimmick… I like options, I hope we get more genuine dual screens and screen case options. I’d probs buy one of these for my current device if it were an option.
Folding screens are a joke, they will never work long term. What happens to a credit card when you fold it? Over time there will be a crease line there. The screen will nevwr actually fold in half and it will have to be some kind of self healing tech in it. Its going to be a gimmick. This G8 is real world application.
Why can’t we just have windows 10 on such devices
LG claims the extra screen only drains about 20% extra battery..
LG did that!! Great for multitasking, not necessary tho! Best for vloggers!
Where do I buy the damn thing for 700 dollars? LG phones are so hard to purchase in the UK.
Hope T‑MOBILE get it real soon, I want this phone 🤔🤔, still waiting on word.
Dual screen sold separately
Second screen is $200/g8x $400 on ebay lock wt at&t free on at&t when u switch
How can you review something and not know how it works? You can charge the phone in the case just fine. Don’t spread lies
If the 3ds was also a phone lol
feels like a device which ash had in pokemon
With Sprint you don’t get the dual screen, Just one screen!
@CNET It isn’t true that you cannot charge your phone without taking it out of the dual-screen case… there’s an adapter piece that connects to the USB C cord, which will then magnetically attach to the charging port on the outside of the dual-screen case…
It’s essential a case which make me wonder if you can get a case to protect it or not. If NOT then how safe is that screen in the case?
Best Buy now has it for $650
I like this review
Mate Xs : AM I A JOKE TO U
