LG V10 -- Bells, Whistles and More

For a week now, I’ve had the chance to review LG’s new V10 smartphone. It’s loaded with features. A couple of them I’m still trying to figure out. For example, there’s a dual front camera that allows you to take regular selfies or wider-angle selfies that can include more people in the photo. With a mug like mine, I’m not a selfie kind of guy. But my kids love this photo feature. The phone also offers a second, customizable “screen” above the regular 5.7-inch display. It’s an always-on thin band that shows recent apps, notifications, etc. I actually found this feature to be quite useful in accessing items quickly -- I suppose quicker than just locating them on the main screen. I admit it took some time to get used to, though. Not sure how many ways I need to locate an app. I’m pretty organized in how I display apps on the main screen, but this is a nice option to have.
