Don't think will affect pricing much.
Isn't V50 better specs over G8X?
hmm I doubt pricing will be affected much at the start, because its already pretty low, there's another user here who bought it from Korea for approx 750 SGD.
Qoo10 here is selling during sale time at 766 with dual screen.
Unless the G8X lowers the price then maybe the V50 will be 50-100 dollars cheaper again. I do hope they drop the price of the dual screen case, i want to pick up one more just in case
G8X is called V50S in korean market. Quite subjective in terms of which is better spec but the dual screen case implementation seems to be better on V50S (can variable the case angle like a laptop, front case notifications, 1:1 mirror screen design, some software enhancements) except imo the change from pogo pin to type c on the case is going to be really annoying as need to use an adapter everytime you wanna charge the device while in the case.
Yeah its really annoying they changed it to use an adapter, I keep my V50 in the dual screen case all the time now, i hardly pop it out and i charge with the case on too.
I do hope they bring the software enhancements to the V50, it works perfectly fine, just need the additional software functions of the new case.
The G8X/V50S itself looks more like a sidegrade:
1) G8X have wider wide angles(9mm vs 16mm)
2) G8X have a smaller aperture for wide angle (F2.4 vs F1.9)
3) G8X have a smaller aperture for standard angle(F1.9 vs F1.5)
4) G8X have a much bigger megapixel count for selfie(32mp vs 8/5mp)
5) G8X have 1 selfie cam(26mm) vs 2 on the V50(26mm & 21mm wide)
Both seem to have their merits and shortcomings.
I prefer the V50 as it seems to have better versatility overall and i always find megapixel count to be overhyped anyway.
I do like the G8X ultrawide 9mm though, i had something similar on the V20 and it was very very useful.
