The new LG V10 is the first smartphone by LG under the V series. Though it has some specifications similar to the G4 series, it still has turned out to be one hell of a unique gadget. Let’s get to know more about this new smartphone, which gives a neck-to-neck competition to Samsung Note 5 and iPhone 6s Plus.
1. Display
The first thing in this smartphone that will catch your eye is its striking display. This exclusive phone has a 5.7 inch IPS LCD quantum display which features QHD resolution, and you won’t find this in every smartphone. You can easily expect colour accuracy from this handset. But that’s not all, folks! You might have heard about its second screen that is 2.1 inch in size. It displays the weather, time, date and battery left while your main screen is off. As soon as you switch on the main screen, this second screen will show your shortcuts and apps most used. Quite handy, isn’t it!
2. Design
When it comes to the design of this phone, it speaks for itself. Just have a quick look at it and you will be able to identify the quality materials used to build the LG V10 handset. This smartphone has a metal frame made up of SAE grade 316L stainless steel along with the back cover and other parts of the smartphone covered in Dura Skin plastic. This not just the usual plastic; it protects this phone from scratches as well as your dropping-now-and-then shocks. Apart from that, it has a rear button layout and extremely thin bezels. With this smartphone in your hand, you no longer have to buy bulky cases for your phone.
3. Camera
If you are into photography, then you are certainly going to love this smartphone’s camera. It has a 16 MP sensor and f/1.8 aperture that will make you go gaga. Considered one of the best among all gadgets, it allows you to control its camera functions such as the ISO and shutter speed. What you won’t find in any other LG smartphone is that LG V10 has two 5 MP front cameras. Why? Well, these 2 front facing cameras make your shot wider and make your selfies stand out from others.
4. Hardware
I’m sure this phone won’t disappoint you as it has Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC as well as an Adreno 418 GPU that makes its performance the talk of the town. With its 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage you can download all the apps that you want. Also, if you need more (which I think won't be the case), you can use a microSD card to expand its memory up to 2 TB! And if all this wasn’t enough, you can make sure that your phone is secured with its fingerprint sensor ingrained on the power button.
5. Software
The GUI runs on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop; LG V10 is easy and smooth to use. The best part about it is its second screen that will certainly make your life easier. You can change your settings and set it as ‘always on’ even when the display is off. Another thing about this dual screen is that it will show you notifications, whether related to Facebook, Twitter or any other app, while you are using your phone. Now you can say goodbye to interruptions!
