LG
just launched the G8X ThinQ smartphone in India after it was introduced back in
September at the IFA. It packs a 6.4-inch FullVision FHD+ OLED display, is
powered by Snapdragon 855 with 6GB of RAM, runs Android Pie with improved user
interface with a cleaner design, refreshed icons and tabs such as Dial, Call
logs, and Contacts moving to the bottom of the display so that users can get
even more done with only one hand, has dual rear cameras, 13MP 136-degree super
wide-angle and 12MP standard sensor. There is also a 32-megapixel camera that
merges four pixels to form large 1.6μm pixels for better output.
The
new 6.4-inch OLED FHD+ (2340 x 1080 pixels) 19.5:9 LG Dual Screen has an
additional 2.1-inch Mono Cover Display that lets users check the time, date,
battery charge, notifications and other useful information without opening the
Dual Screen. The new Dual Screen adopts a new 360 Freestop Hinge to allow for
viewing at any angle (0, 104° and 180°), just like a laptop. It can connect to
the phone via USB instead of Pogo Pins in the previous generation.
The
phone doesn’t have ToF sensor like the G8 ThinQ, but comes with an in-display
fingerprint scanner. It has Two 1.2W speakers, 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC tuned by
Meridian Audio, features a microphone which is automatically turned up when
capturing video to ensure that sounds are recorded in vivid detail for the most
captivating, ASMR recordings.
