Had my LG G8X (Single Screen) for 2 weeks now. Got it for $400 CAD from my carrier, Virgin Canada.
Pros:
It's a really slick phone for the price. The 6 GB of RAM makes it arguably the best value buy at least among phones available from Virgin.
Performances is really smooth, though I don't play any graphics heavy games.
Screen seems pretty good and vibrant, but considering my old phone was an ancient Galaxy S5, it's hard for me to compare it to the competition.
Battery life is excellent.
Cons: Phone seems to struggle with Google Maps and heats up quite a bit when using it.
Does not come with a case (unless you get the Dual Screen version), and the phone is EXTREMELY slippery to hold without one. Get a case as soon as you can, even before opening the box.
No app tray which I find annoying but that is a personal preference.
Cameras are decent but not great. Not a dealbreaker for me, but would have been nice to get a macro cam.

The G8X looks like a dcecent phone except for the camera. The review says the G8X takes good pictures but if you look at this comparison, it's blurry:

Also, has the selfie camera issue been fixed?
I am considering this phone, and the dual screen is a nice feature that I don't need, and will only appreciate if the rest of the phone, such as the camera, is good.

scottm-dj, 04 Nov 2019How bout some real questions instead of the Samsung troller... moreAgree. The main reason of having a LG is the QuadDAC and headphone jack. That said I believe LG and its new management is giving less & less importance to sound quality.
You previously reported V40 was the last phone with native DSD support. Also V40 was already half dB down on volume through out the volume range over V30, it saddens me to see the volume is even lower for G8X.

This phone LG G8X Thinq is released in Japan for JPY 55,440 Yen Carrier lock to Softbank. That is roughly USD505 which is really good price considering it is bundled with the dual screen case. I bought mine used in Grade A condition, but already sim unlocked.

hey, I have a new G8 duel screen unit. So a week ago when I was on holiday it randomly overheated to an extreme. It was hot enough I had issues picking it up and turning it off. So the second screen seems to be the part that over heated and is dead now. The main part of the phone is fine. Has anyone else experienced that? Im about to deal with LG for warranty for the first time so wish me luck!

I've owned now for a few months. Very happy with overall performance. Installed 400gb card and more than meets my needs
Camera actually performs well. Video also good but the head phone audio is top tier. I personally believe LG is going to finally be a big player in the cellphone game. Keeping the 3.5mm Jack is very smart ...Oled screen great processor ,I mean you can't go wrong.

No charging adapter. Need to purchase it separately. Waste of time.

AresinUAE, 04 Nov 2019Ive had g3, g4 and g6. All great phones that died within a ... moreWell here in south Africa. Sony has pulled out of the country so now I have decide on LG due to the fact that Samsung and Huawei come with a free first screen repair which says alot about the brand and that it's flimsy... LG and Sony are actually the only 2 brands that are durable and long lasting...
