Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.5/5
3.5/5
- Pros
- Dual-screen is useful
- Still has a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC for audiophiles
- Software experience is great
- Cons
- Needs more apps to support dual-screen functionali
- Isn`t very impressive as a standalone device
- Battery is not up to the mark
- Becomes bulky with the dual-screen
- Verdict
As a standalone device without the dual-display case, the G8X is a reasonably well-rounded flagship phone which checks all the basic needs from a high-end smartphone. On the other hand, for a price of Rs 50,000, the phone falls short of many of the features that a OnePlus 7T (review), a ROG Phone 2 (review) or a Realme X2 Pro (review) offer, such as faster charging, high refresh-rate displays, and more.

As a standalone device without the dual-display case, the G8X is a reasonably well-rounded flagship phone which checks all the basic needs from a high-end smartphone. On the other hand, for a price of Rs 50,000, the phone falls short of many of the features that a OnePlus 7T (review), a ROG Phone 2 (review) or a Realme X2 Pro (review) offer, such as faster charging, high refresh-rate displays, and more. Throw in the included dual-screen display into the mix and things get a bit confusing.We must bring into the picture exactly how useful this double screen really is. With limited app support for the secondary display and a bulky size which drains your battery at a high rate, it becomes pertinent to ask the question whether this phone`s dual-screen functionality really that necessary? Does it outweigh the discomfort, which, believe me, is considerable, of carrying around this hunk of a device? I think not.Very few apps currently support the dual-screen functionality and the ones that do are not the ones you will be using very often. While I admit to the ease of multi-tasking on the device, you cannot drag a split-screen app to the second display, which is ridiculous. The LG G8X is creating solutions with the dual-display but the problems it is addressing are non-existent. I guess it is fun for a while sporting a dual-display smartphone, and for sure some heads will turn. But over a long term use-case, at least for a person like me who uses his phone for social media, gaming, watching videos and listening to music, the OnePlus 7T, costing nearly two thirds the price, is a much more suitable option.
