LG V10 is official – with second screen, dual front cameras

LG Electronics officially announced their new smartphone in South Korea. The LG V10 has distinct features under its sleeves like a Second Screen, Dual Front Cameras and Manual Video Mode.

The unique Second Screen is placed above the main 5.7-inch QHD display. It acts as a companion with an “always on” capability to show the weather, time, date and battery when the main display is off. It then shows shortcuts to your favorite apps and new notifications when the main display is on.

Aside from that, another unique feature is the dual front cameras with two separate lenses. A standard 80 degree lens and another wide angle 120 degree lens allow the 5MP sensor to see differently, depending on your preference. While the rear 16MP sensor utilizes the features found on LG G4 but with manual mode for video.
