Case

LG's V10 is not only larger because of its screen; it also looks bulkier and very robust. In fact, LG advertises the smartphone as particularly resistant. It is supposedly two and a half times more stable than a conventional smartphone. However, the manufacturer remains quiet on just exactly what this means. In any case, the handset does not fulfil any special specifications.

LG's V10 easily defies warping attempts, and does not produce noises while doing so. Only firm pressure on the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protected screen leads to minor wave formation. The gaps are accurate and do not give any reason for complaint. The looks of the dotted back cover is certainly a matter of taste, but it proves to be insusceptible to fingerprints. It is slip-proof and provides a good grip even on sleek surfaces.

The back cover is removable, and reveals the replaceable battery, as well as the Nano-SIM and micro-SD card slots. The smartphone is also available in white; more color options are to follow.
