One of the most unique aspects of the V10, as noted above, is its dual front cameras. These cameras work together to capture shots at 120-degrees. Another special feature of this model is the two-screen setup. LG is introducing the Second Screen, an inset display positioned above the main 5.7-inch QHD IPS Quantum Display. It operates independently from the main screen and can be set as an “always on” display. This clever inclusion enhances the productivity of the V10 without negatively impacting the battery life.

Apart from the V10, LG has also revealed a pioneer in smartwatch technology. This watch is the first of its kind to allow 4G connectivity under the Android operating system. Moreover, it builds upon LG’s previous Urbane smartwatch, launched in February, which carried many comparable features.

This era of technology seems to be a race among the giants. Companies like LG, Huawei, and Samsung are consistently announcing competitive products to rival Apple’s unyielding dominance in the market.
