LG has finally announced that the LG G8X ThinQ and LG Dual Screen accessory will make its way to the U.S. beginning November 1. It will be available from wireless carriers and retailers, including Amazon, AT&T, and Sprint, with pre-orders starting on October 25.

Back in September, LG first showed off its latest flagship foldable, the LG G8X, during IFA 2019. At first glance, the LG G8X itself is a typical single-screen phone, much like the LG G8, but once you connect the optional secondary display, it transforms into a dual-screen foldable phone.

Sure, you won't get the seamless screen you'd find on the Galaxy Fold or Huawei Mate X, but LG's dual-screen technology gives you a more practical way to increase screen real estate. For example, when using the G8X, you'll have the ability to use the second screen as a gamepad or keyboard — giving you a fullscreen view on the main display.

The LG Dual Screen also features a cover display that will show you the date, time, battery life, and of course, your notifications. When you don't need or want the secondary display, you don't have to carry along the additional bulk since it can be removed.

Besides the dual-screen selling point, the LG G8X also comes packing some of the latest flagship specs. Under the hood, the G8X is powered by a Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and includes a 4000mAh battery. When it comes to photography, it features a 12MP f/1.8 standard lens and 13MP f/2.4 super wide on the back, and a 32MP f/1.9 front-facing selfie camera.

While it might not be as futuristic as some other foldables out there, the G8X is more practical and it will put a significantly smaller dent in your bank account than the Galaxy Fold.
