LG has unveiled its latest flagship – the LG G8X ThinQ. The handset features two screens – a 6.4-inch full HD+ OLED FullVision display with a resolution of 2340×1080 pixels, and a secondary display of similar configuration which is attached to the primary display via a USB Type C port. And it doesn’t stop there. The LG G8X ThinQ also has a third 2:1 mono display, which can be used for several functions such as checking time, date, battery level, notifications, and other vital information without opening the dual-screen.

As already mentioned, the handset’s dual screens are connected via hinges. LG explained that while the first Dual Screen offers two different viewing angles, the second screen has a new 360 Freestop Hinge to allow for viewing at any angle.

Elsewhere, the LG G8X ThinQ gets powered by Snapdragon 855 processor bundled with 6GB RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. The internal memory is further expandable up to 2TB via a microSD slot.

Talking about cameras, the LG G8X ThinQ packs a dual rear camera setup with a 12MP standard lens and a 13MP super wide-angle lens. For selfies, the handset features a 32MP front-facing shooter. That said, LG notes that the front cam has been configured to shoot images at 8MP by default.

The LG G8X ThinQ gets fueled by a 4000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0. On the software front, the handset runs Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box. The handset also comes with LGs advanced audio technology, which includes 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC tuned by Meridian Audio and DTS:X 3D Surround Sound. It also comes with IP68 water and dust resistance technology. Also, the handset is compliant with MIL-STD 810G military-grade standard.

LG, however, hasn’t announced the pricing and availability details of the LG G8X ThinQ. Though what we know so far is that it’ll be offered in Aurora Black color variant when launched in the market.
