Dual SIMs work great!
Does not have WiFi calling function.
OS is 9, no OTA update yet. LG has nothing. Looking for manual download.
My single SIM G8X OS was updated to 10 a year ago.

I bought my G8X ThinQ just a couple months ago and I love it coming from a MotoZ2 I use Ultra for a carrier. Does anyone know if the G8X will survive when the 5G take over happens. The G8X seems to no have VoLTE. other then that this phone is a total keeper. I wish LG didn't give up their phone building, they are better then anything out there currently.

DanLeo, 08 May 2022Please how does the LG G8X hold up in 2022, I'm thinking of getting the phone. What do ... moreThis phone is better than any other midranger in 2022. It has so many features, superb audio, superb video, very good photos, it is waterproof, dropproof, it has a barometer for outdoor fans, great display, very good battery life...I can't imagine having any other phone in 2022. This phone is still worth $300-400 in 2022. I'm not gaming on the phone so I don't mind that it hasn't the best processor etc. I don't need 5G either. I just need video/picture quality and army certification for going outdoors. I love LG, sadly not in the business anymore and no one is replacing them. There are so many phones out there but no one with so many features and qualities.

For now i purchased Moondrop Spaceship i know it's not high impedance one & i didn't checked your reply (my bad) but it is performing slight better as compared to stock ones that came with the phone. Moondrop mic is really good as compared to any other earphones i have used.
I am also using Sennheiser CX 7.00BT...its good too & i purchased it around 2018 (for S9 using at that time) 4 years passed and it still looks & preforms like new.
Now after knowing about E80C & reading reviews i will look for it & when the price drops ( all thanks to you for that info) i am gonna grab it asap 😃.
Thanks again buddy.

I am using this phone for last one and half years, the performance is good. but from last 3 months i am having audio video sync issue. whether it is youtube, twitter or instagram there is no sync between audio and video. If somebody knows how to resolve this issue plz suggest. also downloaded videos in any video player is having same issue.
Tamim, 14 May 2022Bro i wanna buy this phone, gives your user review.... Battery life, and performance... Battery life is very good. Lasts 1 whole day very very easily with still some life to spare. Sometimes it goes 2 days but that's it with normal use.
Performance is great. Heats up very rarely, like when you record 30 minute videos under the Indian sun (47* Celsius, to give you an idea).
PUBG when I tried, it used to run 60 fps (extreme frame rate option) in medium quality settings with no frame drops or throttling. In high quality setting, it used to run, but 30 mins later some throttling was observed. So, its still capable enough.
DanLeo, 08 May 2022Please how does the LG G8X hold up in 2022,
I'm thinking of getting the phone.
What do ... moreIt holds its own.
1. Its the only option in this budget range for dual screen phone. Just no other option, except 1-2 other LG's discontinued phones.
2. Still the best phone for audio quality, surpassed only by other LG phones by a tiny margin, if at all,
3. Its selling at below midrange price or not selling at all, but it was a 2019 flagship.
4. Cameras' weaknesses are clearly visible in the spec sheet. In real life usage, it turns out to be a genuine performer for whatever it claimed. I just did a TV interview on youtube on it with stereo mic and sound. 4K60 is mind blowing.
If you get a chance, keep one for many years! Its pure quality, like Sony.

I know about the DSD stuff on A10, but how about the other things? Maybe the output power and quality? Is it any different on Oreo, Pie, 10, 11 on your phones?
I have a V40 running on A10, and I'm not sure if it's placebo or not, but I THINK that it sounded better on Oreo. One thing I noticed on A10 is that when I use Poweramp's and Neutron's Hi-Res audio output at 384kHz, the output volume and power goes WAAAY lower and weaker than normal. What's your thoughts?
