LG Electronics "LG G8X THINQ" that realizes two screens in a case with a display
LG G8x Thinq (front) and V50 Thinq (back)
LG Electronics "LG G8X THINQ", a smartphone that can use two displays, will be released.The idea that it can be turned into two screens if you put it in a case with a display of the same size as the main display is implemented in the "LG V50 ThinQ" announced in February this year.I compared the two models how LG G8x ThinQ, which is a successor model, has evolved.
The idea of two screens in the case started with V50 Thinq (right)
The smartphone body size is almost the same for both.The display is the same for the 6.4 type, but the resolution is 2340x1080 pixels for the G8x Thinq, and 3120x1440 pixels for V50 Thinq.In Korea, G8X THINQ is sold as "V50S ThinQ".It seems that the resolution is changing between the G series and the V series.
The body size of both is almost the same.Left: V50 Thinq, right: G8x Thinq
The fine improvement has been added to the dual screen case for two screens.If you look closely, both have the same structure, but the V50 Thinq is connected with a dedicated terminal on the back of the main unit, while the G8x Thinq is connected by the USB Type-C terminal at the bottom of the main unit.

If you close the cover part, you can see that the G8x Thinq is longer only for the use of the USB Type-C terminal.On the other hand, the V50 Thinq will not be able to see any display when the cover is closed, whereas the G8x Thinq can display time on the cover surface.This is a great evolution.
The G8x Thinq on the right is longer vertically.You can display clocks etc.
The camera part is wide open when viewed from the back.The number and array of both cameras are different, but this part does not seem to be particularly changed.In addition, the finish of the surface is a leather -like surface with the G8x ThinQ, which is hard to attach fingerprints and is also a non -slip.
The lack of the camera part is the same shape.The surface of the G8x Thinq on the right has a leather finish
G8x Thinq is evolving and easier to hold
If you actually use both, G8x Thinq is easier to grasp.The length in the vertical direction is not very bothered because the size is large when the case is attached, so it is difficult to experience the difference between the two.Even if you consider the manufacturing process of the smartphone, the G8x ThinQ that does not have to have a dedicated terminal on the back of the main unit will make it easier to design.
Nevertheless, the Type-C terminal is used for the connection of the case, so the bottom of the case is closed.The V50 ThinQ has a structure that opens the lower part of the case, and has a structure that allows the Type-C cable to be used as it is.
The lower part of the case has a different shape depending on both
The G8x Thinq body can be charged using the USB Type-C terminal as well as the body.However, when you attach a dual screen case, you need to use a USB Type-C cable via a connector that can be attached with a magnet.Even if this connector is lost, if you remove the G8x Thinq from the case, you can charge it with a USB Type-C cable, but it is easier to charge it while wearing it on the case.This may be the only drawback of G8x ThinQ.
When G8x ThinQ is attached to the case, it is necessary to charge it with a conversion connector.
The cover part can be opened in two places, about 90 degrees and 180 degrees, whereas the G8x Thinq can be set in a free position.It is easier to use when using the two screens in the horizontal direction.G8x THINQ that allows you to see various content and information at the same time.The first model has been improved, and the ease of use has been further improved.
The cover part can be stopped at a free position
