LG’s V10 officially unveiled ahead of company’s October 1 New York event

Not long after some serious leaks, LG has taken the covers off of the LG V10, the first handset in the company’s new ‘V’ line of phones. The innards are identical the LG G4 in a lot of ways but offers something pretty unique: there are actually two screens on the front of the device.

You have your standard 5.7-inch Quad HD IPS Quantum display and then you have a secondary “always on” screen that works almost similar to the edge on the Galaxy S6 Edge. When the main display is off, the second screen is able to display quick information, such as weather, time and date, battery percentage, and so on.

That’s not all it does, though. When the main display is on, the secondary screen works as a hub for quick-launching apps, notifications, and even accessing contacts. It definitely shares some tendencies that the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Note Edge has, but without the, well, edge.

LG also decided to add two front-facing cameras to the device. Both are of 5MP, but one totes a 120 degree wide angle while the other a more standard 80 degree angle. Talk about some serious selfie action!

On the rear, you have the same 16MP sensor the LG G4 had, but with a whole lot more software features. LG has given full manual control of shutter speed, ISO, focus, white balance, and frame rate to its users in the V10.

Here’s a quick rundown of the specs the V10 is sporting:

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor
• 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560×1440) IPS Quantum display with a secondary 2.1-inch (160x 1040) IPS Quantum display
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor
• 4GB of RAM
• 64GB of internal storage with microSD card slot for up to an additional 2TB
• 16MP rear camera with F1.8 Aperture and OIS 2.0 / 5MP front dual-lens camera
• 3000mAh removable battery
• Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
• 6 x 79.3 x 8.6mm, 192g
• LTE-A Cat. 6 support
• Colors: Space Black / Luxe White / Modern Beige / Ocean Blue / Opal Blue

All in all, this device is essentially an LG G4, only with a bunch of extra software bonuses and the two screens. There were no details on pricing, but the LG V10 will be available in South Korea sometime this month with United States, China, and other markets to follow soon after.

We’ll no doubt hear more during tomorrow morning’s LG event in New York. Stay tuned!
