The newest member from the LG Electronics is designed exclusively for silk-stocking multimedia experience, that brings more unique features to the phone with the introduction of a Second Screen, Dual Front Cameras and Manual Video Mode.

In terms of the build, the latest V10 ships in a exquisite design, where the frame of the handset is made out of composed SAE high-grade 316L stainless steel construction, which is the exact same tough and highly hypoallergenic material used in manufacturing surgical tools. The edges and corners of the smartphone is given extra bit of protection with, what they call, the Dura Guard frame, that ensures maximum durability while handling the phone, making it resistant to most of the daily life nicks and scratches, along with a durable silicone-like skin on the back cover, dubbed as the soft Dura Skin adds more of a grid-like pattern, designed to offer the best of grip and soft to touch. V10 has finally got the 5.7-inches Quad High Definition IPS Quantum Display of 2560 x 1440 resolution at 513 pixels-per-inch protected with dual-layer of Corning's latest and robust Gorilla Glass 4. Its even worth mentioning that, the new product from LG has been drop tested from heights of about 48 inches, repeatedly at different angles and it's found to be "MIL-STD-810G Transit Drop Compliant" for after shock.

As aforementioned, the phone attributes a Second Screen, which is said to be a inset display, that's above the main 5.7-inches screen of the phone, now capable of screening relevant weather, time, date and battery information, independently even when the main display is off. Users of the V10 also have an option to set up the Second Screen as 'always on', which is written to bring the best out of the LG V10's productiveness, without having a much of impact on the smartphone's battery life. If that's not it, now when the main display is on, the Second Screen can be set to act as a dedicated launching area for app shortcuts for your favorite applications on the V10. Next, the LG V10 comes out of the box with a five megapixels Dual Front Cameras, with two individual lenses, that helps you snap both standard 80 degree selfies and even wide angle selfies at 120 degrees. There's this sophisticated camera software on the LG V10, which can combine images from these two separate lenses from the front to a single picture.

The phone should be perfect for the finest mobile smartphone cameras to shoot videos on the move with the new Manual Video Mode on the LG V10, you can create professional-quality videos by having the ability to adjust the shutter speed, frame rate, ISO, white balance and even focus, all while recording on the device. V10's 16 megapixels primary shooter with f/1.8 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) 2.0 is capable of recording videos in High Definition (HD), Full High Definition (FHD) and in Ultra High Definition (UHD) at the aspect ratios of standard 16:9 or 21:9 cinematic. There are other features like the Steady Record, Snap Video, Quick Video Editor, Quick Share, Audio Monitor and Wind Noise Filter. Thinking about the storage facilities on the V10? Well, you will have additional microSD card slot for further memory expansion up to a full two terabytes, if the 64 GB eMMC internal space seems to be running out.

"The LG V10 was designed from the ground up primarily as a multimedia smartphone for the sharing ecosystem. 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," said Juno Cho, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Finally, for the peeps looking to get hold of the new LG V10 early this season, the phone will first make it to their homeland of business, in Korea starting this month, packed in shades of Space Black, Luxe White, Modern Beige, Ocean Blue and Opal Blue, which will be then followed by international markets like, the United States, China, as well as in the regions of Asia, Latin America and Middle East.
