Two displays, three cameras, reinforced housing and more resistant to damage the screen, manual mode, not only the photo, but also video, fingerprint reader, selfie without selfiesticków, decent performance and exceptionally unusual appearance – so short you would introduce the newest representative LG smartphones. But that’s not all. Is it really as unique as the manufacturer promises? Check!
At the very beginning you need to mention what else distinguishes a smartphone V10. In addition to these revelations, we are dealing with an improved interface LG (UX 4.0+), recording 60-second videos (

first impression – big, a little heavy, certainly about the intriguing appearance (definitely better than the pictures), in an interesting box. In this phone minimalist , from which derive handfuls producers of other smartphones, simply does not exist. The rear flap is very flexible, much of the housing is made of heat-insulating, flexible silicone stiffened with the coating (ie. Dura Skin) would increase the resistance on the smartphone falls and impacts.
The material has to be extremely resistant to damage and so too it seems. Facetiously this unusual porous back of the device can be called … grater carrots, a device for peeling skin, nail file – “applications” would be a lot. With just the porous texture smartphone does not slip from your hand and not “dancing” on the table. The screen protects the double layer of glass. I must admit that was wrong during the relationship with CES 2016 (read: CES 2016: Unique smartphone LG V10 – three cameras and two displays) editors solidarity was convinced that the tubular invoice housing will accumulate dirt and its removal might be troublesome. Resistance to dirt checked on the first day of testing – V10 coped better with the removal of impurities than G4 , whose leather case yet for the next day was the fat of ketchup.
V10 enough to treat a slightly damp sponge and a dry cloth. version was decorated with black stripes on the back, which – in my opinion – add charm to the handset. And it is because something is happening in this case, it is not boring, simple, simple. In turn, the strips on the sides of the device is made of hypoallergenic stainless steel 316L . The treatment aesthetic, but also functional – the fall of the edge of the display, it should not crash. When it comes to looks, there are conflicting opinions. Some believe that add to the charm, others – that aesthetically smartphone loses the experiment.
- Yes, this phone looks strange. Still I do not like this grater feet back and cheesy-looking ring around the lens – says the manager of editorial technology WP Jarek Babraj that even at CES 2016 in Las Vegas could get an idea about this phone. Indeed, the problem may be a protruding metal circle around the lens, which – apart from the controversial appearance – scrubs top. I personally really like the phone, but I admit that it looks coarse . I agree that the controversy over the shape of the lens and the buttons Rear Key (corresponding to the power supply, shortcuts and volume, which traditionally went to the rear of the casing) and the invoice for “his back.” But opinion about how visually presents the V10 everyone, of course, should form their own.
On the one hand a pity that the idea of ”Slim Arc” is not guided designers for the V10. G3 and G4 are in fact nicely rounded back, which really puts great in your hand. The V10 while we are dealing with a flat phone with a slight rounding of the sides only. On the other hand, the back of the domed pogrubiłoby (and already so large), the device significantly and would increase (too large) scales, so when it comes to ergonomics, it is not bad. People who are accustomed to just such size devices (eg. IPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Note 4/5, S6 edge Plus, etc.) should not notice a difference. Everything from the exterior to the convenient, but it is a matter of habit and, of course, taste. During the change from V10 tested on G4, my first thought was: G4 was always so small? .
Interesting fact: This smartphone – despite many improvements – this is not an extension of the line flagowców. Nor is it coming successor G4 , conventionally G5 (premiere on February 21 at the fair MWC 2016 in Barcelona). LG explains that the V10 is a new product category, accompanying flagowcowi.
Two displays
Returning to the specifics – V10 stands out two displays. Main panel is IPS screen, Quantum, displays the image at a resolution of QHD – 1440 x 2560 pixels at a density of 513 pixels per inch. The display is covered with a double layer glass , so it has to be about much more resistant to breakage. The displayed image, particularly black depth and contrast, deceptively similar to OLED panels-these , which is the most advantage of the V10. Video timing can not be accused of anything wrong and this is the opinion of the entire industry. LG in this area failed – again.
As for the additional screen , both me and Jarek, had serious doubts whether indeed structurally is other screen, rather than
No line separating the two structures Although you can not see, touch running smoothly when you drag your finger from one screen to another when moving icons, they look identical on the border displays … So there are two options; LG has done a great job structurally or little tweaks facts and word game other .
Bar located above the main screen performs many functions that are actually useful for everyday use . In addition to displaying notifications in this area we can set five quick shortcuts to selected contacts, control your application for music (native or external, for example. Spotify or Deezer), check the plans stored in the calendar, switch between recently used applications, or set yourself any inscription ( reminder thought motto).
Everything, of course, is independent of the activities, which deal with the main display. Among the various functions of the switch by moving a finger to the side. Some believe that these are the gadgets pressed to V10 force and can agree with this, but such goodies as we like, if indeed facilitate or support the work of the unit, and certainly this is the case, .
It should be added that at the blank screen the main bar displays a darkened date and time, battery status, the weather icons and notifications – similar solution to the one we know from the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and S6 edge. Additionally, moving the notification bar at a blank screen, gives access to four shortcuts: profiles sound, Wi-Fi, a flashlight and a camera, and control the selected player.
The manufacturer argues that this allows to save some energy – do not need to unlock the screen every time you want to check the time. I do not know if this has any real impact on energy consumption, but a little easier to keep track of time – smartphone V10 does not have to be lifted from the desk, just have a look . A small obstacle for people unfamiliar with the English language is the display of days of the week in English language (MON, TUE, WED …). Taking screenshots, do not catch the items displayed by an additional screen.
After locking the screen dimmed or extinguished strip briefly highlighted. Then it can be observed glow that comes from the field of lenses. There may be a defect copy, because I checked it on two different smartphones V10. Unfortunately, it does not look good, and for this moment, when the backlight is slightly lighter, very distracting. This detail probably escaped the manufacturer. And again the question arises – whether there are definitely two displays? Glow passes because on screen. The reasons may be several, but any of them would be the true – the brighter the corner should not be visible.
interface
Interface, as implemented in the V10 is known for LG G4 so. UX 4.0 with small improvements (the manufacturer calls it UX 4.0 + ). There are not many changes, these are only additional areas corresponding to the new features, which were the V10. Inquisitive notice the change of icon clock and calculator. Runner overlay by LG is a little candy, but pleasing to the eye, coherent and aesthetic.
DrugiI camera
Another novelty with which we are dealing, is a dual front camera. Something for the fans selfie and a solution whereby selfiestick can already safely land in a drawer permanently. Two lenses have the 5 megapixel (brightness f / 2.2) except that one has a standard angle of 80 degrees, the second – 120 degrees (wide).
Switching between one and the other can capture a larger area around them too, however, be noted that the 120-degree eye some highlights face, her rounded nose and a little increase.
If you use snapchat, it should be noted that the application uses the default is for this second camera (in general, the application snapchat can also notice it worse quality Snaps performed the main camera). As for the 80-degree lens is a standard design. The LG G4 had to deal with a resolution of 8 megapixel, V10 – 5 megapixel . G4 has a lens aperture of f / 2.0, V10 – f / 2.2 . That V10 gets a little darker images is clearly noticeable. For this the worst lighting conditions are somewhat noisy , appears on these delicate grain.
What this is about? I think that this G4 should have two lenses or cameras parameters V10 front similar to that in the G4 . I do not understand why it happened differently. We have a slightly lower resolution camera, but wider viewing angle. V10 quality makes self-portraits of the same or better than most flagowców on the market (with pewnpością with good or medium light), but does not change the fact that the terms of LG G4 here slightly uwsteczniło.
