After all the madness, there are normal phone things to point out. The device can, after all, function in its ‘basic’ mode like a regular candy bar device.
LG’s Android 10 skin, despite its lag, is a pretty version that doesn’t get in the way of day to day use. It uses a Snapdragon 765G chip which is not the high-end Snapdragon 865 found in phones like the LG V60 or Oppo Find X2 Pro, but it’s more than capable enough and supports 5G.
We didn’t notice any performance dip in high-end games. LG has likely picked the chip to keep the phone a dollar under $1,000 at launch. The chip is ably backed by 8GB RAM and 256GB expandable storage, but LG’s software is a little buggy. It doesn’t feel like processor lag but opening the camera and some of the transitions when changing apps, particularly in swivel mode, suffer from choppiness and pauses in animation.
Biometrics are handled with an in-screen fingerprint sensor on the main display, which is reliable but a tad slow, and we had to retrain our prints twice. Annoyingly, there’s no face unlock option. Qi wireless charging makes the cut as does a MIL-STD 810G durability rating, though I wouldn’t want to drop this 260g glass slab in a hurry.
The swivel action means there’s only IP54 splash resistance, but LG says it has tested the movement and guarantees it for up to 200,000 swivels. That’s over five years of flicking if you do it 100 times a day.
A 4,000mAh battery easily keeps the phone chugging along for a day even when joyously flicking between two screens. There’s even USB-C headphones in the box (RIP headphone jack) and a case, though this is adhesive, not clip on, so that you can still swivel.
