As with the LG V50 ThinQ presented six months ago at the MWC in Barcelona, the LG G8X ThinQ is a standard high-end smartphone, which is compatible with a shell turning it into a device with two displays.

LG G8X ThinQ: a smartphone with a foldable screen no, but with two screens yes

As for the technical details, we remain classic: 6.4-inch OLED FullVision screen with FHD+ definition and 19.5:9 ratio, SoC Snapdragon 855 coupled with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB storage space (expandable up to 2 TB via microSD), 4000 mAh battery, dual 12 MP OIS photo sensor + 13 MP wide angle, 32 MP front module, fingerprint reader under the screen, port jack 3.5mm, stereo speakers, IP 68 certification, Bluetooth 5.0 and Android 9 Pie.

The second screen is identical to the main panel, in terms of size, technology and quality. Obviously, the device manages multi-tasking, that's where it offers all its interest. You can have a "passive" application that does not require you to take any action on a screen (Google Maps, Netflix or YouTube for example) while sending messages on WhatsApp for example. What we can already do today with our Android smartphones with the screen partition. When the hull is closed, the screen displays notifications and practical information.
