I won't recommend it for a new purchase. I got one for my dad for 17K in Flipkart Sale with SBI Card discount. It was a steal then. Battery life lasts full day for his use but I doubt it will last the same for me. It will be updated to A11 shortly and is getting security patches on quarterly basis.

If I remember in first sale it was 20k plus 1500 cash back... Or was it 3k cash back?

Sorry. It was 18K

The total order was of 30K (LG G8X + POCO M2) and got 3K discount on the total order with SBI.

I have further De bloated my g8x
Via adb and stopped keeping sync always on.
I just sync it when I am free to check new mails and these two have helped with the battery life

I suspect owing to a lot of background processes and system apps both normal and pertaining to dual screen the battery is used faster even when the phone is idle.

If anyone has further De bloated the phone without any I'll effects then please do share

I'm using it as it came and have decent battery life with single screen. Sometimes it just freezes for a few seconds when using Chrome, apart from that it's going good.

Sometimes it's random even when not using Chrome and also proximity sensor isn't working sometimes, like when a call is coming the display appears blank and I have to press lock button twice just to see who's calling. I need to visit SVC sometime before warranty is over.

Good idea
Do update here what they say and do
 
Has anyone used their G8X in desktop mode. LG too has a feature like Samsung Dex. If yes, which HDMI dongle did you use. I am thinking of getting the PiBox cheapest offering and trying it out.

My first Android phone was the LG Optimus One. Fond memories of running CyanogenMod 7 on it. Never purchased another LG phone after that but tempted to pick one up if there is a fire sale. Always remember LG as being the first on a lot of stuff - 3D screen, Quad DAC, wide-angle camera and probably much more.

Me too had a Optimus one for around 3 years. Lg phones especially G series lasted forever. Missing such a quality products nowadays
 
It seems with android 11 and a new iodate to lg smartworld app, the option to download more fonts is gone..
Technically on g8x thinq there are no fonts section on smartworld.

Anyone has any clue how to add custom fonts to this phone, tried the ifont as well as custom launcher route but nothing..

Have a few nice ttf files to be loaded but dunno how...

If anyone has a working workaround [emoji6] then do share
Thanks
