LG Begins Global Rollout of V10 Multimedia Smartphone

The V10, LG’s newest smartphone has begun its global rollout.

Customers in the United States, China and Hong Kong will be amongst the first to receive the device, followed by key markets in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States throughout the fourth quarter.

“Designed from the ground up primarily as a multimedia smartphone, the LG V10 is the ultimate device for the sharing ecosystem,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Consumers have been waiting for a true multimedia device that doesn’t cut corners. With the V10, we hope to show what smartphones are truly capable of.”

The LG V10 offers distinctive new features such as a second screen, dual front cameras and manual video mode.

Featuring a 3,000mAh removable battery and microSD card slot, the LG V10 has the distinction of being one of the first smartphones to meet SanDisk’s guidelines for Extreme Photo-Imaging Capabilities (EPIC).

As an advanced multimedia smartphone, audio quality was also given top priority consideration. The V10 plays back high-definition music via its 32 bit Hi-Fi DAC by ESS Technology. It accomplishes this by upsampling standard-definition audio files to 32 bit Hi-Fi format. The supplied Quad Beat 3 earphones were developed in partnership with AKG Acoustics.

Other notable highlights of the LG V10 include:

- Second Screen, an “always-on” display above the main 5.7-inch QHD IPS Quantum Display;

- Dual front cameras with two separate lenses can capture standard 80 degree selfies or undistorted wide angle shots of 120 degrees;

- Manual video mode creates professional-quality videos by adjusting options such as shutter speed, frame rate, ISO, white balance and focus even while recording; and

- Resilient Dura Guard frame composed of SAE grade 316L stainless steel and Dura Skin helps to secure the display protecting the phone from hard bumps and tumbles.
