Brought G8X Dual Screen recently and already disappointed
This is my first LG phone, coming from a series of Samsung phones, and I did try Huawei once too. I liked the concept of the dual screen without the trade offs and pricing of a single larger screen that bends. Overall I think the hardware is pretty good, and it has some nice software features, but there are quite a few things different or missing that make me miss my previous Samsung device. Some may be petty or personal preferences to some of you but I also feel some are quite big oversights:

We see a lot of phones in the market that are announced almost every day, which made it difficult to choose between one phone and another, as the choice was made between two phones, one containing a camera and the other not. Then, go to a keyboard phone or touch screen after 2007, and then go to the operating system, Android or iOS, and even when we're done to the system, we haven't finished, and there are many versions of Android, either fr...

Google is now the fastest company in history to a trillion dollar market cap unseating Amazon.
Google is now a trillion dollar company and did it in 7,804 days. Amazon had done it in 8,827 days.
Apple and Microsoft are both over 2 times older than Google. So not really competitive on how fast.
Facebook is most likely to be the one to do it next. If they do it in the next 5 years they will break the Google record as the fastest.
Guess some think Tesla will be next. But I really do not think so.
If had to give a name today it would be Alibaba followed by Facebook....
