Creative dual-screen flagship LG V10 evaluation

Unlike other brands, the frequency of LG released the flagship phone is some unpredictable, or that we do not know which one is LG's flagship product this year. At the beginning of 2015 LG  launched the world's first equipped with Qualcomm Xiao Long 810 surface screen mobile phone G Flex 2, and then launched the G4, in October released the ancient supermodel V10. G Flex 2 although with the first-class configuration and large surface screen design is clearly not for the mainstream market, then now for G4 and V10 which is the leader? After using V10 for some time, Chris Cui from Cell Phone Age thinks V10 experience compared to G4 is better.

Unique material and high cold appearance

Cold, handsome visual impact thanks to the excellent ID design and the use of innovative materials. V10 body material is combined of double screen glass panel, stainless steel frame and thermoplastic silicone material to ensure that the body strength, firmness and durability. In the mobile phone design rarely reference to the silicone material not only has the characteristics of anti-dirty, corrosion resistance, high toughness and strong plasticity, its matte granular treatment for the V10 high cold ID design is icing on the cake.

Although the V10's positive design is easy to see the LG mobile phone family characteristics of the continuation, there still be a strong individual style. First of all, LG did not follow the V4 on the use of G4 micro-arc screen design, and further narrow the "chin" and "forehead" width, more visual impact, 5.7-inch large screen covered by double-layer tempered glass, Make the phone screen more solid.

The side frame of V10 is a unique design, highlighting the whole body. Using a stainless steel material, the front looks like a blade like masculine, solemn. But the edge of arc to ensure the feel of round, while this design is also very conducive to protect the phone screen. In the side of the phone, the edge of the case can effectively protect the screen, not fragile.

5.7 inch 2K screen

As one of the world's leading screen R & D manufacturers, LG's mobile phone screen has been walking in the industries cutting-edge. G3, G4 screen gave us left a very deep impression, V10 screen naturally no disappointment. LG V10 equipped with a 5.7-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 2560 * 1440, the use of quantum dot backlight technology, the screen color gamut, brightness and contrast are beyond the general IPS screen. In the outdoor strong light conditions, LG G4 can also ensure a relatively clear display.

LG for the V10 has brought a unique function - auxiliary screen. In the 5.7-inch main screen on the top right add a 2.1-inch resolution of 160 * 1040 rectangular screen. This screen PPI and the main screen with the same 513, the other specifications are consistent with the main screen, the effect is completely different. V10 is currently the only one in the world using the design of the phone.

Does the auxiliary screen always open will affect the standby time? Of course, but the V10 auxiliary screen using a separate backlight components, in this mode the phone automatically adjust the brightness of the auxiliary screen to a very low level, try to reduce power consumption, in the provincial mode it is also unable to open the auxiliary screen, the overall impact on mobile phone life is limited.

Image function

LG is very much experience of smartphone camera, LG G3 in the case of using relatively backward camera can still have a good shooting performance. LG V10 in the image shooting function on a substantial innovation, equipped with a dual front camera, and for the first time in the phone to join the manual video captures function.

LG V10 equipped with a total of three cameras, of which rear camera continued G4’s 16 million pixel Sony IMX234 sensor, F / 1.8 large aperture lens, using laser focus, support OIS 2.0 optical image stabilization technology. Of course, on the beginning of G4 the manual camera is still being carried forward, the user can freely adjust the shutter length, ISO, focal length, color temperature and other parameters, with their own technology to determine a good photo.

Front camera is used with two 500-megapixel sensor, one for the 120-degree wide-angle lens, the other for the 80-degree lens. After opening the front camera, user can choose which lens to use, large wide-angle lens for more than a group photo, 80-degree lens is more suitable for self-timer. Two 500-megapixel fixed focus lens quality is very high, while comes with real-time beauty function, V10 is clearly eligible to become a self-timer artifact.

System experience

LG V10 equipped with Android 5.1.1 system, system logic and operating habits and the original operating system is basically the same. LG V10 supports up to 5 virtual keys, in addition to the traditional three King Kong key cannot be fixed, the other two keys can be customized. V10 system supports split-screen multi-tasking function, but only supports some applications come with the system, does not support third-party applications, which makes the practicality of the split screen discount.

As fingerprint recognition has become almost a standard after the flagship phone, LG finally know after the addition of this feature, although a bit late, but also considered timely. LG V10 push-type fingerprint reader integrated on the power button on back shell, and the iPhone and Samsung S6 program is actually the same, in the state of screen off need to press down to identify, the speed is almost the same as iPhone 6s Touch ID 2.0, Very quickly. But the shortcoming is from the entry stage, LG V10 fingerprint entry is terrible, I repeatedly recorded but there is no progress changes, enter a fingerprint time-consuming close to 2 minutes, I hope LG can improve this.

LG V10 is equipped with a 2900mAh detachable battery, the actual performance is not prominent, and the normal use time is one day, so it is recommended that users buy a backup battery. At present LG V10 Assembly Touch Screen Replacement is offered for sale at only 152.78USD on Cell Phone Age com.
