Hello guys! With LG and Flipkart selling out hundreds of thousands of LG G8x, this might probably might get a second life. As the Indian Flipkart special edition G8x does not come with a charging adaptor, I thought I'll list a few which seem interesting to me, should support 18w/21w fastcharging and start a discussion. Prices were taken when FK BBD/Amazon GIFS was going one.

Adaptors that should work with LG G8X:

New Best option - Ambrane (QC 3.0 compatible) 18 watt charger with USB C cable - Rs. 299 - Flipkart Link

Mi 18 watt dual port charger (QC 3.0 compatible) - Rs. 599 - Mi Store Link
Mi 18 watt single port charger (QC 3.0 compatible) - Rs. 499 - Amazon India Link
Mi 27 watt SonicCharge adaptor (QC 3.0 compatible) - Rs. 499 - Amazon India Link | Mi Store Link
Ambrane AQC-56 3.0 18 Watt charger with micro usb cable - Rs. 299 - Flipkart Link - Ambrane's product page does not mention QC 3.0 anywhere but multiple youtube videos and reviews have confirmed that fastcharging is working with LG G8x.
AMX XP 30 Q.C 3.0 Charger with USB C Cable - Rs. 600 - Amazon Link - This combo might seem unattractive for the price but the cable provided with this combo is USB 3.1 Gen1 cable with data transfer speed up to 5GBPS. Most cheap Mi/Boat cables are USB 2.0 with speed capped at 480mbps. The cheapest USB 3.1 Gen1 cable on amazon is also by the same brand AMX which is Rs. 429. Similar Amazonbasics cable starts at around Rs. 600. So for 600 both AMX adaptor and cable seems like a solid deal.

Wireless Chargers - 10 watt chargers are what you should be looking at as that's the highest the phone support. Remeber that you will need a adaptor as most wireless chargers don't come with a adaptor. I recommend the Spigen or Raegr one.

RAEGR Arc 500 10w Type-C [ 2 different Type C Cables bundle] - Rs. 1599 - Amazon India Link
Dyazo Wireless Charger Pad 10w - Rs. 839 - Amazon India Link
Anker Wireless Charger 10w - Rs. 1499 - Amazon india Link
Spigen Compact Fast Wireless Charger 10w - Rs. 998 - Amazon india Link
RAEGR Arc 400 Type-C 10w - Rs. 999 - Amazon India Link

Screen Protectors and Tempered Glass:

New Update- Various people are saying that Samsung M30 screen protectors fit Lg G8x primary display almost perfectly. This should be available locally for anywhere between Rs. 50-100. Better go to your local retailer and check it out and see if the protector they are selling fits or not. Logically the same thing should also work for the secondary display. Maybe even checkout screen protectors for other phones too which may fit.

Flipkart Smartbuy Tempered Glass #1 - No black borders - Rs. 209 - Flipkart Link
Flipkart Smartbuy Tempered Glass #2 - With black borders - Rs. 199 - Flipkart Link
Both of these are probably generic tempered glasses rebranded by Flipkart. There are a few other random brands also available on flipkart around Rs.150-250.

FCS Screen Protector for LG G8X ThinQ Covers All Three Screens & Camera Front & Back All Side Protection - Amazon Link - Seems great value for both screens back and front and 3rd smaller display.
[Matte]FCS Screen Protector for LG G8X ThinQ Covers All Three Screens & Camera Front & Back All Side Protection - Rs. 499 - Amazon Link -same as above one but matte coating so should help deal with fingerprint and oil.

Cases/Cover:
Lustree [Matte Black /Transparent options] Soft Silicon Flexible Back Case Cover for LG G8x Thinq (Black) - Rs. 299 - Amazon Link

Skins:
https://riggear.in/shop/Skins/LG-G8X-ThinQ-skins
There is also Wrapkart.com and their skins start from Rs. 250 which is almost half of all other sellers but they have mixed reviews.
They have some good looking skins and variety of textures but no idea about the quality. This company has their cases listed on amazon india and they are generally well rated.
Try them and do post pictures here.


Do share any phone case and adaptor links here.

PS- Some products might go out of stock and come back again, especially Mi chargers. Also, prices might fluctuate a bit.

Can anyone have buying links for 21 watt charger as this phone supports 21w fast charging with QC 4 support?
AFAIK, there are no QC 4.0 chargers available in India.

18 watt chargers linked above will support fast charging. If you want to utilize full fast charging upto 21 watts, best option Mi 27 watt sonic charge adaptor . But how safe it is for long term needs to be verified.
Someone needs to check with official LG store if they sell 21 watt charger.

They don't, they just sell a 16.2 watt charger for LG G8X which shouldn't be as close to 18 or 27 watt chargers and that too is not cheap. Also to mention samsung's 15 watt charger gives the fast charging icon.

I did a Full Recharge from 0 to 100% again today and it took 1 Hr. 40 Minutes.
I had a call with their Customer Support. They are confident about the charging speeds. Can you confirm whether you are charging with the dual screen case on.
Lcare has 18W powerbank also. I am thinking of buying one. Any reviews from you guys?

Only one review and that too talking about missing layers in screen protector.
Did you buy this one? If yes, then please share a brief review.
Price seems good for covering all displays.
I purchased it & currently using it on my device, it's a good screen protector but there is only one problem the 2nd layer which is supposed to removed after the application of screen protector is very hard to remove and you have to use something sharp to make a gap from the edge and after that you can remove it easily.
