They got a pretty nice, quad dac in here, with amplification to drive some pretty powerful headphones that other devices or bluetooth wouldn't be able to.
Dual screen is a nice extra, I do use it much more than I expected to - it's nice to have completely separate screens for multitasking and watching videos.
Finally, the battery is incredible. It's advertised to have a 4000mah battery, but the most interesting thing was that when I first bought it (over a year ago), my accubattery app showed a 4500mah battery estimate. Basically, the battery was larger than advertised, and it definitely showed in longevity. Even today, an entire year later, I'm at 4200mah effective capacity, and can go 2 days of pretty regular use without even thinking about recharging.
Downsides? Not much for this phone alone - it does everything I need, from music, to apps, to games, to just browsing the web.
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.

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

That said, they did say that they will be keeping the phones updated for three years... https://www.pcmag.com/news/lg-pro...er-exiting
LG was terrible at updating their phones before the announcement. 3 years my ass.
LG can say anything they want like a politician, but what they did and have done do not confide my trust.

Oh no
Their phones have been my fave since V10. Great specs and very reasonable prices (couple months after the launch) and less bloatware than Samsung.

The finger print scanner was awful and the phone just didn't perform like I'd expect a new phone to perform....slow and clunky.
Traded in my G8x for a Samsung and it's a night and day difference. It doesn't surprise me they are exiting the phone arena.
