I traded up from a Pixel 3XL. Just about everything on the LG G8X is better. There is no pause when launching or using apps. A good non-productive example is with the CoC game. The loading progress line with the 3XL would pause for several seconds at about 75%. With the G8X the progress line shoots across the screen with no perceptible hesitation! All apps are noticeably quicker. The dual screen is really a novelty for me. For now, I don't use any apps that take advantage of it. However, It is a great bundle price vs. the G8X by itself. So, I see it as an investment until more dual screen apps are available. As far as size goes with the dual screen, its footprint is actually smaller than my old 3XL with its case protector. Plus, it only weighs 3 grams more than the 3XL with case. I don't notice any difference! I was concerned about the fingerprint reader from all the negative reviews. And, they were right. If you use the screen reader exactly like your old physical reader, it is terrible. That was until I noticed that the position of my thumb when training the reader was way different from how I positioned it while in use. After re-training the reader from my "use" position, the reader is very reliable. Not quite as much as my old 3XL reader which was virtually 100%, but close. I go an entire a week without a "bad" read. Let me offer some tips. Have clean hands. No big deal in these China virus days. You should already be doing this. As said before, place your thumb (or finger) in the same orientation as when it was learned. Again, no big deal since holding your phone is pretty much the same each time. And finally, do not press your thumb down hard on the screen. I don't know if this causes the print to be flattened (smeared) or if the touchscreen thinks it is responding to a navigation command, but a light touch seems to always work. The other great feature is the battery life. My 3XL's battery would often not last the full day for me. The G8X will have 60% battery left when I put it down at night. Outstanding!
So, no regrets. Awesome phone and nerdy, gadget dual screen, which I hope gets more apps. Even if it doesn't, it is still cheaper and better than phones that cost hundreds more. I bought the same phones for my daughters and they love them!

LG G8X ThinQ the perfect phone to multi task, even with a few imperfections.
Here is my review of the LG G8X ThinQ:I have had this phone for a month now and while I have had some minor frustrations with the LG G8X ThinQ...the pros far outweigh the cons. The phone itself is beautiful and sleek, constructed of front (Gorilla Glass 6), back (Gorilla Glass 5), and an aluminum frame. The battery has been ample to get me through my daily tasks and still have power to spare when I get home. The sound is great...I prefer to use wired head phones to take advantage of the LG 32Bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC & DTS: X Virtual Surround. There is plenty of storage with 128 GB internal capacity, but I also added a 1TB microSD card to allow for additional storage of large graphic files for work. While at first I had to invent things to use the second screen for, now I use it every day to multi-task between social media apps...copy & paste is so easy, no constant switching of apps...I love the second screen. Using the second screen does add some heft to the overall device weight, but it was very easy to adjust to the change.The major item of concern is the in-display fingerprint sensor. It is far from accurate, requires more force than a traditional physical finger print sensor & often does not recognize my finger print at all. There have been multiple times I have had to delete and re-enter my finger print completely...which still did not solve the problem. It seems to be more of an issues after the phone sits for a long period of time between uses OR after the phone has been powered off for a period of time. Hopefully LG will correct this with future software updates.Everything considered, I am very happy with the LG G8X ThinQ. It provides more screen space for use without the $2000+ price tags of other phones. It has a solid performing specs well above some flagship phone that cost twice as much. It is great for all of my business and personal needs. (I'll update this review later with additional thoughts!)PROS:- Affordable two screen solution for multi-tasking, watching media or gaming.- Top notch chipset the 855 Snapdragon & 6GB of ram...perfect for whatever you need to do.- 6.4-inch screens with Full HD+ OLED display (2,340 x 1,080 resolution).- Phone comes in one storage size of 128GB, expandable up to 2TB with microSD.- 4,000 mAh battery provides ample charge for single or dual screen use.- Has a 3.5mm head phone jack to take advantage of the LG 32Bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC & DTS: X Virtual Surround.- Has Fast Charging QC 4.0 + Wireless ChargingCONS:- In-display fingerprint sensor is far from accurate.- Second screen is great, but adds additional bulk/weight to an already hefty phone.- Limited apps to take full advantage of the dual screen, at this point

Era prometedor, pero el lector de huellas es terrible.
