While all eyes are on Samsung and its next-gen Galaxy Fold (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3435722/samsung-galaxy-fold-release-rumors-price.html) that transforms from a 4.6-inch phone to a 7.3-inch tablet, LG has its own idea of what a folding phone should be. And it’s almost charming in its immaturity.
Instead of a revolutionary display that bends, the LG G8X merely adds a second screen via a snap-on case. It’s kind of like hooking up a second monitor to a laptop—if you wanted a monitor that gets in the way of using the laptop.
