LG G8X ThinQ Design
As already mentioned, the LG G8X ThinQ takes a dual-display approach to offer its version of a foldable smartphone. The new form factor offers a detachable case to house the G8x, which acts as a secondary display and uses a 360 Freestop Hinge to allow it to be adjusted at different viewing angles, just like a laptop. The phone is MIL-STD 810G compliant and has an IP68 dust-and-water resistant certification.
Display
The G8X sports a 6.4-inch FHD+ FullVision OLED Display with a waterdrop notch, a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and a 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. Similarly, the secondary display is also the same, a 6.4-inch FHD+ panel, and connects over USB-C, rather than the Pogo Pins from the previous generation case. On the outside of the case, there’s a 2.1-inch screen for offering a quick glance at the time and notifications.
Performance
In terms of performance, the phone comes with a 7nm Octa-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor with Adreno 640 GPU running at its core, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2TB with microSD card). It runs on Android 9 Pie out of the box and includes a 4000mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 for faster charging.

Talking about optics, the G8X ThinQ sports a dual-camera setup on its rear, with a 12MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture and 1.4µm pixel size and a 13MP secondary super-wide sensor with f/2.4 aperture, 1.0µm pixel size, and 136° lens, with LED flash. Coming to the front, the phone has a 32MP camera with f/1.9 aperture and 0.8μm pixel size, for selfies.
Miscellaneous
