LG G8X ThinQ - user opinions and reviews

KondriX, 10 Apr 2021The G8X was launched with Android 9 (Pie), so I guess Android 12 will be the last update. LG always followed the trend to provide 2 Android version upgrades to their flagship G & V series. G8X arrived with Android 9, so it will get Android 11 and thats it. Forget about anymore security patch updates henceforth.

Samath N8 808 owner, 07 Apr 2021Sharing almost the same opinion... No idea what to say man. Let's hope they return.
Was ... moreVivo was the pioneer of HiFi analogue audio since its inception, and LG was next with much broader market reach. Vivo had exclusive partnership with ESS back in those days and produced some great audio centric smartphones like Vivo X5Max, Vivo Xplay6 which came with ESS hardware. But with ESS jumping ship to LG, Vivo was pissed off and moved to Cirrus Logic partnership which till date provides great audio neck-to-neck to that of LG. Like the LG G8X vs Vivo NEX S.
Loosing LG have left a deep hole in the audio centric smartphone market for sure. But now we have new players to like Asus who with its ROG 5 comes laden with ESS latest audio chips to its gills. So there is hope.
Hope Soundmagic E50C paired with G8X fulfill your audio needs. Sharing a review link between E50C vs E80C which aggravated me to buy both.

RishiGuru, 06 Apr 2021LG is gone from smartphone business. I feel motherless now.Sharing almost the same opinion... No idea what to say man. Let's hope they return.
Was it so tough for LG to just appoint an ace marketing manager?
Anyhow, updating you that I got Redmi Note 8's screenguard (glass), the original one from Mi for Rs. 400 and applied it to my G8x. Its a good fit and the quality is top notch, the local ones I tried were a fingerprint mess... so its well worth the little investment.
Meanwhile, the Soundmagic E50C as recommended by you are on their way from Flipkart... in a day or two, I'll have them. Got it for 3199/-... I'll update.

Only tech enthusiasts users care about updates, most users don't even know what version have... and avg android users don't comment on forums also, so having complaints on gsm arena about LG not having updates is a fake positive since only tech user comment most of the time

It was rumoured that it'll get Android 11, but that seems more unlikely day by day. Eveen my old OnePlus 6 is getting the latest security patches. Wake up LG India!!

Sick and tired with LG continuing to ignore the Indian variant when it comes to security patch updates. To not bother even with security patches which are supplied by Google is just piss take of the highest order. Bought it for official use and my company is about to disconnect my phone off the office network because it has had no patches for 6 months.
And with growing rumours of them exiting smartphone business soon, I don't hold any hope of receiving future updates. Amazing hardware but totally nonsense software support. Having to reluctantly sell it off and get a Samsung for better update cycle.

Phone connoisseurs ask for advice: LG G8S ThinQ or OnePlus 7T for the same price.
