    I'm glad I stumbled across this... I love my dual but the charging adapter was broken on day 3... But the only glass I could find broke.2 screens on 1st drop...just the protection... Unfortunately im a huge klutz and continuously drop mine...I've been really concerned that I can't find a case.. Or decent glass protectors..But if I'm understanding correctly, it doesn't need 1???? That sounds disastrous for me!!! Lol... Also, I am trying to replace my adapter and can only seem to find it on the LG website... I really don't want to buy more of the same 1... The magnet piece pushed inside the plastic so far it wouldn't stay connected, just kept falling off... So, when I had tried everything to get it pushed back down and it wouldn't budge, I did what any sane normal person would do and proceeded to rip the plastic away piece by piece until I finally moved it....😂... But it was then that it appeared to be able to be taken apart.. 🤫 JIC of that event... So, I used as ton of my tiny rubber bands for my hair to put it back together... Lol... Very tricky indeed...lol... But my question is... I saw a bunch of similar ones on Amazon even some has protection from threats like me, but I have no clue if any will work for the dual, they don't say and in my opinion, look slightly different?!?! Any help on the adapter and protection is much appreciated...🖤 before I spend a bunch more money....Thanks..🤪

Reviews show that both phones are good phones and the dual screen is a good alternative for a much more expensive Galaxy Fold. I don't have an LG phone but I think they are very underrated and deserve more sales.

          Aadrian, 26 Jan 2020I agree the V50 is more of a flagship compared to the G8X, ... moreThat's a good point, and my bad - I thought they were the same price. I hope you enjoy the G8X!:)

            NinjaNerd757, 26 Jan 2020I see this as more of a downgrade from the LG V5O ThinQ Dua... moreI agree the V50 is more of a flagship compared to the G8X, but it's also more expensive since it has 5G and this G8X doesn't support it. So the price is an important thing too for a lot of people. I think both are great phones and I would get the V50 if I got them for free, but if I'd to pay it myself I would go for the G8X. The dual screen is a good addition.

              I see this as more of a downgrade from the LG V5O ThinQ Dual Screen than a successor to that phone in every way except for the better dual screen design. If the G8X had kept everything from the V50 AND had a better dual screen, I would be down for this, but for some reason, some of my favorite things about the V50 were cut, or kept but altered in an inferior fashion, including:

              -Support for Dolby Vision content
              -The HDR10 support for video, from everything I've read about the G8X, is gone, as is manual video (please correct me jf I'm wrong)
              -The screen is a lower resolution and has a much lower pixel density, on top of the lack of Dolby Vision
              -The G8X loses two cameras, and the remaining ones all have a higher-aperture than the cameras on V50 (f/1.8 on the main camera for the G8X vs f/1.5 for the main camera on the V50), which means that they'll perform worse in low-light, not to mention that the ultra-wide angle camera is brought down from 16MP to 13MP
              -This is a personal issue, bit I dislike that the USB-C port is taken-up by the Dual Screen. It can be remedied with the magnetic charger included with the G8X, but it just makes things more complicated

              The G8X isn't a BAD phone by any means, and it even has some things going for it over the V50 ThinQ Dual Screen, including

              -A higher resolution front camera (32MP on the G8X vs. a dual camera set-up of one 8MP and one 5MP camera on the front of the V50)
              -A uniform Dual Screen which matches the size, resolution, and aspect ratio of the G8X's main screen, and an external notification display on the other side of the Dual Screen not seen on the V50 Dual Screen

              ... but I can't say that those would make me choose the G8X over the V50. After communication, I use my phone mostly for media consumption and creation, so maybe the things that are hard losses for me - Dolby Vision, better low-light because of a lower aperture - don't matter to you. But just make sure you look hard into your decision. For my money though, if you're confused about this phone and the V50, and want to choose between them, choose the V50 unless 1) it's to difficult to import the Dual Screen supported version of the V50 to your country (the V50 Dual Screen isn't sold in some countries and models of the V50 which ARE sold in those countries don't have the ports to connect the Dual Screen if you decide to import it, so be sure to import both the phone AND dual screen), 2) you care exclusively about the Dual Screen, and don't care about any losses over the V50, just for a better Dual Screen experience, or 3) you simply don't care about what was lost in the transition from the V50 to the G8X

                Kinda bugs me that the G8X ThinQ is being advertised as a better phone when really, for my money, it's an inferior version of the V50 ThinQ EXCEPT for the dual screen. The only thing addeda

                                Hi Guys...I am very happy and in the Seventh heaven because I grabbed this ever Beauty LG G8X Dual Screen...It is really gonna become a Game Changer. I sold out my Note 10 plus to buy this beast.
                                When I take it out in Public , People ask me ..Hey ..What mobile is it !!!! . People turn their heads to have a Second look of it. No other Company has ever made a marvellous Engineering beast like this..All specs are that of a Flagship. Even Water resistant and dust.

                                Mind Blowing Camera..Much better than Note 10 plus. Display is gorgeous.
                                Sound is like that of a Theatre Experience.
                                Battery back up is Excellent...more than 1 day with heavy use..
                                I am so glad that my decision was wise..

                                Thanks a lot LG...Hats off to you..

                                        Some YouTube mobile reviewers often say the best thing to grab an LG mobile is to wait for a couple of months to pass by after the model is released in the market and then take a call as the price drops down significantly.

                                        What would be the 'wait time' for LG to reduce price of this LG G8x Dual Screen from current INR 50k? How much would this cost in March 2020?
