This is an obvious drawback of the LG V10. being a 5.7-incher with a huge body design, the V10 doesn’t necessarily have the utility and efficiency that some smaller devices have, which could be problematic to users that prefer an easier to keep and to carry the device. However, as mentioned, this is a very obvious drawback and people who prefer a more portable device could easily avoid the V10 if there not into the large handset type.
At first glance, the LG V10 is looking good, however, upon closer inspection, the V10 is a bit out of it in flashiness. Nevertheless, that lacking of style is sacrificed for the more robust and sturdy looking design that is first seen on the V10. The LG V10 isn’t necessarily built to be stylish, but rather to keep up on different scenarios, which to some might actually be a good thing, but to a few, not exactly worth the trade-off.
We’ve paired up the LG V10 against a lot of devices and sometimes the results in the benchmark department isn’t necessarily favorable on the LG V10. It’s understandable, to be honest, that the V10 might be a bit weary in the system performance department since the latter is built to shoot videos and images, however, despite being underwhelming in the said department, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the LG V10 is all-in-all bad in the system performance part, it has a few bad performances here and there, but overall, it did okay.
Well, to be honest, there’s no phone that can copy the a full blown software camera video editing capability, so the LG V10 obviously has its limits. With that, though, its editing capability is pretty decent and is better than most phones today, however, certain apps could actually fill it that particular drawback of the LG V10, so it’s a drawback that can easily be fixed. The LG V10’s particular drawback in editing is its inability to attach two separate videos and put them into one, which can be a bit enticing at first, but was a bit okay, nevertheless. Despite the limited capability in video editing, the LG V10 is still one of the best in the shooting department and should be a great choice when taking on video as a priority in buying a smartphone.
The LG V10’s secondary screen is one of its unique features and hands down, a true innovator for the said feature, however, we can safely say that the feature overall has a huge drawback, namely in the responding department. The secondary screen is always lit, not unless the secondary screen is covered by something, so if you have your V10 laying around somewhere, the backlight can sometimes heavily contribute in battery consumption on idle mode, which could be troublesome. However, it can be easily solved, just be simply covering up the phone with something light, which would turn off the secondary screen in idle mode. However, there is an option to turn off the secondary screen when its necessarily, but manually opening and closing the particular option is a bit troublesome and inefficient.

for its design, black is the perfect color for it. the first drawback which is the size is what I really agree with. It’s good for entertainment, but not handy esp. when you’re always in in a hurry or busy. (iwas snatcher pa!)
