LG teases its latest device, the LG V10, by giving a lady a really bad haircut

There has been mounting evidence over the last few weeks that LG is getting a new device ready for launch which utilizes dual displays, though not in a way that you’d expect. The so called LG V10 puts the secondary display above the main display, acting as a ticker display – in essence, it’s the same idea as the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge except putting the curved bit above the main display. While none of this has actually be confirmed, LG’s latest teaser suggests that it is indeed about to announce such a device, and they’re willing to ruin a lady’s hair to get the point across:

Okay, so it was probably a wig, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s kind of a weird concept to begin with, especially putting the extra display at the top of the device where it’s harder to get to – we’ll hold our full judgement till LG announces the device however. LG has booked the event for the 1st of October, so we should be seeing exactly what LG has in store for us in just under a week.

Metal-clad LG Class gets unboxed on video

Earlier this week, LG unveiled its first metal-clad smartphone, the entry-level LG Class and while the handset hasn’t gone on sale yet, we’re treated to an unboxing and preview of the handset, in 4K nonetheless.

The Class is LG’s first attempt at a metal-clad smartphone and features a 5-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels resolution and a 2.5D glass panel on top to increase responsiveness. Under the hood, the handset is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage, which can be expanded further using a microSD card.

On the back, there’s a 13MP rear camera which LG claim has the premium imaging sensor found in its flagship devices, while the front sports an 8MP selfie camera with a range of features including Gesture Interval Shot, which lets you raise your hand and make a fist in front of the camera to take a selfie. The back also comes with the power and volume keys underneath the camera, like LG’s other handsets, such as the LG G4.

Connectivity wise, the LG Class also comes with LTE, NFC and Bluetooth 4.1. The LG Class measures 142 x 71.8 x 7.4mm, while at 147 grams weight, it’s certainly manageable in the hand. Like other metal-clad devices, the LG Class has a non-removable battery and the question remains as to whether the 2,050 mAh battery is large enough for normal usage.

What do you think of the LG Class and do you want to see it launch outside of Korea (where it’ll set you back $339 before subsidies)? Let us know your views in the comments below guys!

LG gives us a glimpse of its upcoming cutting edge smartphone

LG is all set to hold its next big event in New York City this coming October 1st. Now we just have to figure out what the announcement is all about. All rumors point towards LG unveiling a new flagship handset, and the latest video seems to suggest said speculations are correct. Let’s take a look at it.

As you can see, this cinematic teaser doesn’t quite tell us much. It shows a lady destroying her bangs by making a cut through her stylish hair. The surprise arises when the trim’s outline suddenly turns into a part of a phone, displaying what looks like a couple camera lenses and a ticker notification display.

Those who have been following the latest LG rumors will find this image very familiar. This is because it closely resembles the front-facing sensors we have seen on the rumored LG V10. Which was previously known as the LG G Note, and some even believed it could be part of the G Pro series. Regardless of its name or device family, we have enough evidence to believe this is the phone LG will be unveiling at this event.

Rumored specs include a Snapdragon 808 CPU, a 5.7-inch QHD display, 3 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, a 16 MP rear-facing camera, a 5 MP front shooter, a removable battery and microSD support (those last two are huge for some of you).

Needless to say, it will be a powerful handset, but its lure lies in other areas. Of course, there will be those dual cameras, as well as the ticker display that sits right next to it, above the main display. This tiny display is said to be for shortcuts and notifications.

Overall, it looks like an LG G4 with a few extra bells and whistles… which sounds amazing! We will keep our eyes open for more details to hit the inter webs, at least until the official announcement comes around. How many of you are interested on the LG V10 (or whatever it will be called)?
