Fuk that and fuk LG
Don't blame LG (entirely) - it's the carriers. This is one of their latest scams to locking ~your~ phone to their, one network, to prevent portability, and using their paying customers like bargaining chips, so they can make potentially make money from, or have leverage with, other carriers over roaming/tower agreements. I know I'm generalizing here, but VoLTE licensing and compatibility is ridiculous. Can you imagine, building a communication protocol/tool for the ~global phone networks~, in this day and age, that's proprietary and incompatible with everyone else? When something doesn't add up, follow the money.

You are incorrect. This is the unlocked US version. It's the only one that does have Volte for TMobile. It's all the unlocked Sprint or ATT models (UM) on eBay that don't support That was the case with the XDA link and the reason why I stopped my long-standing custom of buying past year's LG flagships for a great price for Tmobile

P. S. A. There is no USB-C port if you use the dual screen attachment. Must use magnet adapter if you plan to keep the phone in the dual screen 'case'

I'm using it for about 6 months now. Camera is good, everything is fast and battery life is very long.
Dual screen is sometimes handy (i worked on it using remote desktop with keyboard on the other screen or played games and browsed at the same time) but it is more trouble than benefit - you need charging adapter that often unsticks, thick phone that won't fit into car phone holder, akward back camera and flashlight.
Somehow mine got very scratched up, after 3 months it had more scratches than my old V30 after 3 years. Screen protector only lasts a week, I'm going to keep my second cracked one on for a while since it still protects against scratches.
Microphone picks up all the noises in the room. People on a call can hear flys sneezing 15ft away from me.
Without the case (and you may need to get the phone out of dual screen case to charge it with regular usb-c cable) the phone is super slippery - tiniest incline or the cord weight will pull it off the desk.
The back panel vibrates when speaker plays music - not noticeable with a case, feels very flimsy without the case.
It restarts by itself, but it can be due to drops without the case. There is a good chance it won't be covered by the warranty.
There were some updates in the last week so it looks like LG does at least some support.

THAT SAID: there's one thing to keep in mind about this phone - these days you can get the LG V60 thinq, basically the successor to this phone, with the dual screen accessory, for around $400. The deals for the V60 may be fewer and further between, but I've seen it at costco for $400 with the dual screen, and it took all of my willpower to not buy it then and there. Wait a bit, and you'll have a chance to get what's basically an upgrade in every way over the G8x, for around the same price. (this was the deal btw https://slickdeals.net/f/14502593-costco-t-mobile-lg-v60-5g-dual-screen-smartphone-no-new-line-required-399-99?src=SiteSearchV2Algo1)
The V60 sucks. I have the Tmo variant and updated it to Android 11 last week. Lost use of finger-print unlock because the update has known bug that causes the CPU to be locked at 100% when using FP to unlock the phone. People on Reddit are reporting massive battery drain issues because of this bug.

Avoid LG. Buy anything besides LG!

Thanks didnt really need the phone, but figured it would be fun to play with. When I saw the one dude say no tmobile I figured probably a sign so didnt even think to double check his statement.

Appreciate it!

You're like a year behind, you might wanna sit down for this, like the guy said if you don't mind used, with patience and effort you can score a deal like this person on 4/27/21, paid $182, for phone & screen.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...55&_sop=15

If you can't wait, take your pick starts at $95, refurbs for $140, oh and a refurb screen $120.

Ive had the LG V20, V30 and V40. Theyre great phones, if you bought them used. I'd never buy one new though, got my previous LG's like 6-8 months after release date and saved ~60%+ buying them pre-owned, but in mint condition. No OEM box or charger but thats part of the reason for the savings.. still have all 3 phones, theyre part of my home security system, they're cameras kick ass
