LG Electronics has introduced a new high end line-up of smartphones with the launch of LG V10, which comes with dual displays and dual selfie cameras.
Launched in New York on October 1, V10 comes with features that are higher than its earlier flagship LG G4 and is in line with the iPhone 6 and Samsung Note 5.
V10 comes with a 2.1-inch second screen as an inset display above the main 5.7-inch QHD IPS Quantum Display. Working independently, the second screen can be set up as an “always on” display. The whole front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
The device is powered by a Snapdragon 808 chip supported by 4GB of RAM and an inbuilt 64GB memory expandable to up to awesome 2TBs.
Design
The V10’s frame is composed of high grade stainless steel and hypoallergenic material used to make surgical tools and high-end watches. Edges and corners are protected by Dura Guard frame.
The back and bottom of the display are made of soft Dura Skin, which is highly resistant to nicks and scratches.
Along with the popular Knock Code, the LG V10 features a new fingerprint sensor to unlock the smartphone and turn on the display simultaneously. The sensor also works with Android Pay in the United States to make purchases as quick and easy as possible.
The second screen
The second screen can be set to display the weather, time, date and battery icon when the main display is off. With the main display on, the second screen can be set to convert to a dedicated launching area for shortcuts or favorite apps.
When you’re enjoying a movie or game on the V10, the second screen will notify you discreetly without blocking your view when a call or text comes in. You can ignore the notification without distraction or you can pause whatever you’re doing to respond.
Dual front cameras
The LG V10 features 5MP dual front cameras with two separate lenses to capture standard 80 degree selfies or perfect wide angle selfies of 120 degrees, without the need to pan the smartphone which increases the likelihood of camera shake.
For the wide angle shot, the V10 employs a sophisticated software algorithm to combine images from the two separate lenses which are just far enough apart to provide two different points of view.

Manual Video Mode allows users to easily create high-quality videos by adjusting options such as shutter speed, frame rate, ISO, white balance and focus while recording. Videos can be recorded in three resolutions — HD, FHD or UHD — and two aspect ratios — 16:9 standard or 21:9 cinematic.
In addition, the LG V10 offers snap video, quick video editor and quick share options.
Audio Monitor helps adjust the sensitivity of the three microphones during video recording and directly monitor and control audio input, including directional recording capability to highlight sound from one particular location.
“The LG V10 was designed from the ground up primarily as a multimedia smartphone for the sharing ecosystem,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.
“We heard from many customers that until the G4, they weren’t comfortable going on vacation or outings without a separate camera. With the V10, we hope to do for video what the G4 did for photographs” he added.
The LG V10 will be available in Korea starting this month followed by markets such as the United States, China and key countries in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
