If that service center services LG mobiles, you can buy an original magnetic USB connector for LG G8X Dual Screen case for INR 650. Last Oct, 2020 I got one from my nearest service center.

The magnetic USB connector serves two purpose:
1) Charge the mobile inside Dual Screen Case
2) Data transfer to/ from PC.

    1. Are you asking for dual screen magnetic adaptor? Well, if you lose the original one that came in the phone DS box, then I think you may not find another, and definitely not original. Try finding a local made adaptor.

    2. Are you asking for just an aftermarket magnetic connector to connect and charge your phone, without dual screen? Well, good news is, on Amazon you can easily find many of them and you can order online. But, they might be low quality, unbranded product, as none of them have 4 star ratings.

      Otherwise, in normal usage, it never lags. Ever. Even while gaming.

              Hi, would like to ask if the phone is lagging with normal use and no gaming. For example, using fb, whatsapp, telegram apps for normal business use.

Lots of YouTube videos available for resetting G8X. If the problem still persists, its a hardware issue and you need to visit the nearest service centre.

                One time screen/display replacement is free for LG G8X in first 6 months of purchase across India. I have two, and both of them have no issues till now.

                    Hi All
                    i have the G8X purchased a few months ago and great phone , now i am worried about the service & support from LG in India.

                    So what happens regd. service after July 2021 for the phones sold in the current and last quarter and their old phones like v30 , v30 plus , G7 etc ? if anyone has the info please

                      You're absolutely right. I kept the 3 dots upward and the USB storage and all worked!

                      And I agree with you about LG Wing.
                      While Dual Screen is a super practical concept which takes multitasking few levels up, a twistable screen is something I didn't even understand the use of... and huge weight and dimensions for no real benefit.
                      I still wonder what was their objective before designing it... make something cool, make a sort of multitasker, make a landscape concept, make a typing friendly phone (in the era of swipe), what was it?
                      I read its review, couldn't get the big point behind so much sacrifice (battery life, loudspeaker, size, weight, etc.). No doubt though, rest hardware is good.

                      Companies like Apple and Samsung don't even try such concepts, although LG at their budget did so, so I appreciate it but they could've saved money for something better.
                      LG Wing was something I couldn't see the utility of. Its like a truck with no storage space, this odd.

One can buy the phone as a one of design which other manufacturers will dare never try. To me in last 5 years the only innovative idea from LG that was practical was the Dual Screen case.

                        Others may vary.

                          Just make sure the magnetic connector supplied with case has the charging logo/ three dots facing upwards when connected. Also update the USB drivers of you PC which may resolve the issue. I faced same issue previously.

                            ....., 07 Jun 2021Lg g8x or v50s better for gaming?Both are same phone.

                            LG G8X comes with Snapdragon 855 SoC having integrated 4G modem. LG V50S additionally has the Snapdragon X50 5G modem chip, so supports 5G as well.

                            Apart from that V50S has 2 GB more RAM. That's it.

                            So yeah... gaming wise V50S is a better option.. but the phone also comes at a premium over G8X.

                              ....., 07 Jun 2021Lg g8x or v50s better for gaming?I'm sorry for my last reply, it had wrong information. The right info is,

                              For gaming overall, V50s will be slightly better due to 8GB RAM as opposed to 6GB RAM in G8x. Although, G8x is not bad, I own it and it runs everything well.

                              Also, due to V50s being a 5G phone, you're likely to get better speeds and latency while you're online gaming.. (if you're on the supported network)

                                "" The LG G8X Dual Screen box contains the Dual Screen case and a USB-C magnetic connector for charging and wired connectivity. "" says the G8x review.

                                I'm not able to achieve USB wired connectivity in this Dual Screen mode. I can just charge my phone, while it appears as "Unknown device installed" on my Windows 7 PC.
                                Can anyone help me?
                                Or maybe just check, if dual screen (running in single screen mode) disables the USB connectivity/ tethering?

                                  ....., 07 Jun 2021Lg g8x or v50s better for gaming?Virtually same, they're almost the same phones.

                                      In my G8x, I can easily adjust volume of the app/ game I'm running.
                                      Please try to check what all apps are running in the background like call recorder apps, etc. Also, are you updated to Android 10 official update?

Thanks for the info r... moreWell, I could've chosen it for a family member if they were due for a phone. But personally, I don't have much interest in it as I'm more into devices with strong media, music and camera specially. So, its clearly not for me.
                                        But as it is, I can't deny its one really beautiful design innovation by LG, and the current pricing makes it a great choice for those who want a stand out, reliable device for a good price..
