LG releases phone with case with second screen in Benelux

LG will release the G8X ThinQ in the Benelux before the end of the year. It is the first phone from the manufacturer to be compatible with a case with a second screen that comes out here. Such a case also exists for the V50 ThinQ, but it did not come out here.

The case has two screens. The display on the outside is a monochrome screen with a diagonal of 2.1″, while on the inside there is a screen that is identical to the phone. That is a 14.7×6.8cm OLED screen with a surface of 100 square centimeters and a 6.4″ diagonal. Thanks to the resolution of 2340×1080 pixels, the screen ratio is 19.5:9. The screen on the case also has the same teardrop notch for symmetry, while there is no camera behind it.

The phone has the same screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855-soc with 6GB of memory and 128GB of storage, both of unknown type. The phone measures 15.9 x 7.6 cm, according to the specs. For input and output, the device has a USB-C port with HDMI-out for the second screen. There is also a 3.5mm jack and HiFi dac for listening to audio.

The cameras on the back are a regular 12-megapixel wide-angle camera with a sensor that has 1.4 micron pixels. In addition, there is a camera with an ultra-wide angle lens with an angle of view of 136 degrees and a resolution of thirteen megapixels. LG has not disclosed a price for the G8X ThinQ or the case. The phone should appear in the Benelux before the end of the year.
