LG G8X ThinQ review: Capable smartphone with experimental dual-screen case

Foldable devices are promising, but the first breed of these devices — Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X — show these still are the early days for the flexible bendable screen; it needs some polishing before it becomes ready for smartphones. While some smartphone makers continue to invest in flexible-screen technology, some others are experimenting with dual-screen iterations of their foldable devices. The LG G8X ThinQ is one of the latter type.

Design

The LG G8X ThinQ has a two-piece design — a standalone smartphone and a foldable case with secondary screen. This smartphone has a regular LG design affair with premium glass-metal construction and obstruction-free profile on the front and back.
