The Device Launch Experience: My Thoughts and Observations

I've been using one app in particular, which has become my newsfeed, since it was rebranded from Google. The new name is still not widely recognized, but I'm familiar with its features. This app has been a constant companion on my device, and I appreciate how it provides me with up-to-date information.

As we continued to use the device, we checked the battery level multiple times. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the battery was at 82%, which is decent for an all-day usage scenario. Fast-forward to 4:30 p.m., and the battery had decreased to 52%. This drop in capacity wasn't unexpected, considering I'd been using the device extensively throughout the day.

We took a break from our activities to meet David Ml from Android Authority at his apartment. He joined us later, along with MJ from Gadget Match, Michael Fisher from Mister Mobile, and another individual who prefers to remain anonymous. We decided to check out their new studio, which is located just a couple of blocks away from my apartment.

After arriving at the studio, we realized that we had changed our plans. Instead of visiting David's apartment, we ended up meeting Fisher there. While we were at the studio, we thought it would be a good idea to check the battery level one last time. As of 11:26 p.m., the device was still holding strong at 15%. However, by 12:09 a.m., the battery had dropped to 11%.

I took a moment to review my screen on time and usage statistics. The data showed that the device had been powering two identical screens since we started our tests. While this information is interesting, I couldn't help but think that it would be more useful if there were more apps that utilized the full-screen capability across both screens.

The design of the device did remind me of another product recently launched by Microsoft, the Surface Duo. Although the Surface Duo won't be available until next holiday season, its existence sparked my interest in exploring how similar devices could utilize dual screens. I was surprised to see LG's efforts in this area, as they often pioneer innovative features that don't receive enough attention.

I also want to commend LG on their pricing strategy for this device. At $7.00, it seems like a great value considering the benefits of having two screens at your disposal. Although I found myself preferring to use the phone without the extra screen, there were instances where the dual display was useful. This accessory is free with the purchase of the device, and I appreciate its inclusion.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enanother day another rivero's test today we're gonna be doing a road test on the LG g8 think think you I don't care got better railroad tests on this channel so I'm gonna try to use this phone as I normally would throughout my entire day we're gonna check on the battery every now and then and see how that's doing but also gonna take photos with it and some of its competitors put them up on the screen so you guys can check that out as well one interesting twist about this video though is that this phone basically most places that you buy it it turns out comes for free with this accessory it is an extra screen and when you put them together it gives you a dual screen phone which I'm sure you've probably seen stories about now because of the fact that it comes essentially for free with it and the phone itself is $700 it makes this quite an interesting combo and I'm going to put these together and use the phone with the screen on for the entire day before we get started though as always any coffee Coffee check now real quick I want to talk about this phone and in particularly the dual screen part of it that seems to be what everybody is talking so as I've already showed you it's a case there is a screen that is on the inside that is the same specs actually as the original screen which is nice and then we have this tiny screen on the outside that is only used for the date the time and notifications essentially now that inside screen can be controlled by a small floating button that's on the screen if you tap on that you can then swap whatever's on one screen onto the other and vice versa put it to sleep turn it off etc now the way that it works unlike a folding phone where in my mind is kind of like an ultra wide monitor where everything kind of fits on there at once this is more like having dual monitors that separate screen acts almost literally as a nother monitor for Android apps don't really spread across them so you basically have to choose to use two apps at once one on one side and one on the other with the exception of the chrome app which can actually extend it yourself across the two screens even though there's a gap in the middle and then LG's own gallery app can actually be used in an extended view but it's only those two apps right now with more coming soon quote-unquote you can also go into settings and whenever you open this screen automatically have it launch one app in particular for me I've been using that kind of for like my newsfeed in Google now or Google something it has a new name now it's not Google now whatever you get what I mean and so that's kind of just how I've been using it okay let's check another battery as we do it is 12:30 1:00 p.m. I took it off at about 8 o'clock in the morning and we are at 82% good one okay stop real quick that like a late lunch or I mean it's a really early dinner I'm also probably gonna get eggs it's all confusing either way let's check it on the battery it is 4:30 p.m. and we are at 52% all right just had dinner with David ml here from Android Authority you don't know and now we're gonna go to our studio which I've kind of mentioned before me him hi mate from POC and now MJ from gadget match and Michael Fisher mister mobile all got a studio together and it's a couple blocks away so we're gonna go check that out and then head to your new apartment I check that out today yeah it's exciting frightening well seven minutes okay change of plans we ended up actually going to David's apartment and meeting Fisher there they're moving in together it's exciting but now we're at the studio kind of showing that to David and while we're here we might as well check it on the battery so it is now 11 26 p.m. and we are at 15% okay and call it a night check on the battery it is 12:09 in the morning and it is at 11% and here's my screen on time and all of my usage and all that fun stuff so you can check that out and it's it's not great it's not horrible either also keep in mind that it was powering two identical screens the entire time now so honesty I think this would be a bit more useful really and I would want to use the dual screens more if there were more apps that utilize the full screen capability that can go all the way across and if this bezel was smaller and between it does remind me of another device that was recently launched or recently announced and that's the new Microsoft Surface duo now there's a reason though that Microsoft announced it and it's not coming out until the next holiday season is it not this year but December of 2020 and that's because they wanted to drum up a lot of excitement about it and get developers on board within Android to do this exact thing where they can make their apps all work and expand across the screens and decide what sits on one and what's it together what happens when you rotate and and how to spread them across the screens all that fun stuff that's gonna take some time and that just it just doesn't happen here for that exact reason now I do though the other part of me does commend LG for even trying this because you know I mean people I think forget that LG does pioneer a lot of stuff they don't necessarily always get the credit for it like wide-angle cameras everybody's talking about right now yeah g5 the LG g5 was the first phone to introduce that years ago nobody talks about that another thing I'd like to commend them for though on this device is that I think they're finally being more aggressive with their pricing as they probably should have been for a while now $7.00 for this with the dual screen is a good deal for sure and as much as I found myself preferring to actually use the phone without the extra screen there were times that I did want to use it and it is free with the device so it's cool to like bring along to use in those moments when I would like the extra screen sort of again like how there are times you want to use your laptop and then times you want to dock it and have some extra screen real estate with dual monitors there guys real more test LG GE X and the dual screen accessory well I don't you guys think about this phone about this video any improvements I can make in the next one try to focus more on the phone in this one because you guys told me to do so so let me know what else you
