LG V10 Review

There's a considerable amount to the LG V10 - a lead, a phablet, a camera telephone, a tough telephone, a Hi-Fi telephone and the first of the new V-arrangement. It's a component stuffed gadget and its mark highlight is the optional dependability in plain view and a double selfie camera. Up to this point, the LG G4 and the G Flex2 ruled LG's lineup as co-leads, yet now there is one and only Lord. In our sneak peak we portrayed it as "G4 on steroids" and the more we go through with the LG V10, the more we are persuaded this is an able depiction.

The auxiliary presentation is basically one line over the fundamental screen that can be left on every minute of every day and serves for notices and alternate routes. This is in the notification light as email is in Morse code - a much healthier approach to give you initially informed of what happened since you last checked your telephone.

We've seen optional screens like this one preceding,however, this is our first double selfie camera. LG tackled the issue of gathering selfies ('groufies') by including an all inclusive 120° camera, notwithstanding the standard 80° one. Numerous a greater amount of your companions can now fit into the shot.

The primary camera is extremely noteworthy as well, it highlights the most thorough arrangement of manual controls we've ever seen on a cell phone. Indeed, even PureView Lumias and Samsung's cell phone/camera half and halves didn't have a portion of the settings accessible on the LG V10.

And after that there's the unique finger impression per user, the 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC and the premium earphones. Here's the short form of it, we'll make a profound plunge into the top components of the V10 when we're finished with the introduction.

Key features

Main disadvantages

  • More powerful chipsets exist, a flagship should have gotten the best
  • Rugged, but not water resistant
  • The durable back cover not as premium as G4's leather covers
  • Rather heavy, even for its size


The LG V10 provides a nice antithesis of the Galaxy Note5 and S6 edge+. Their sealed back compartments and glass backs (which double the chance of cracks when dropped) make them seem more vain than practical. Also, the Galaxy S6 edge+ does not use its dual-curved screen as a separate control like last year's Note edge did.
