LG has launched the LG V10, the first in the new V Series of smartphones, featuring impressive camera features such as the new Manual Video Mode that lets users adjust the shutter speed, frame rate, ISO, white balance, and focus as they record.
The Android-based phone features a 16-megapixel rear shooter with F/1.8 apperture lens and OIS 2.0 and a 5-megapixel Dual Front Camera. The Dual Front Cameras are two separate lenses that allows to capture standard 80 degree selfies or perfect wide angle selfies of 120 degrees, without the need to pan the smartphone which increases the likelihood of camera shake. It ultimately eliminates the need for selfie-sticks to achieve that perfect groufie.
The V10 gives three resolution options for video recording–HD, Full HD, or Ultra HD—as well as two aspect rations—16:9 standard or 21:9 cinematic. The LG V10 also comes with additional functions to match its impressive audio and video taking capabilities. For instance, the Steady Record uses an electronic image stabilization (EIS) optimized for recording video to neutralize shake, helping to capture sharper video footage even when you’re on the move.
Other features videographers or aspiring filmmakers will love are the Snap Video Mode, 15-Sec. Auto Edit, Quick Video Editor, Quick Share, Audio Monitoring, and Wind Noise Filter.
With the 15-Second Auto Edit features, users can create a short video highlight clip by automatically eliminating blurred frames and static scenes. Audio Monitoring lets users adjust the sensitivity of the three microphones more accurately during video recording and directly monitor and control audio inputs. While Wind Noise Filter eliminates external wind noise for high-quality sound when shooting video outdoors.
The LG V10 is compatible to up to 2TB memory storage apart from its built-in 64 GB internal memory, allowing budding directors to shoot as much 4K-quality videos that they want. Add to the package the removable 3,000mAh battery, V10 users can easily replace their battery packs to keep shooting more videos.
For security, LG features a fingerprint sensor to unlock the smarpthone and turn on the display simultaneously.
On the outside, the V10 sports a resilient Dura Gaud frame that firmly secures the display from accidental drops. The frame is composed of SAE grade 316L stainless steel, the same tough, hypoallergenic material used to make surgical tools and high-end watches.
The LG V10 sports a tough but soft Dura Skin silicone back cover for added protection from direct impacts to the device. Dura Skin is soft to the touch but also is highly resistant to nicks and scratches. What’s more, the back grid pattern was designed specifically to offer a more secure grip.
The LG V10 has a retail price of Php37,990. Consumers buying the LG V10 from November 27 to November 29, 2015 in participating LG concept stores in the Philippines will get a free 200 GB memory card valued at Php11,000.
