Weekly poll: LG V10, hot or not?

LG's late year flagship, the LG V10, boasts rare and unique features and an elegant, rugged design. The second screen kicks notifications into overdrive, so much more informative than a notification light. It also boosts multitasking, but only if you hold the large, 192g phone with both hands.

The main screen is pretty impressive too, a refinement of the LG G4 screen with improved contrast. The battery life was nothing spectacular though, on the plus side keeping the second screen always on didn’t have a major impact.

The LG V10 has the most advanced photography department we've seen yet. We've played with our fair share of PureViews, but the manual controls – especially for video – available on the V10 are unmatched. The mic directionality and ability to use a wireless Bluetooth mic are a boon for budding videographers.

The selfie craze is reaching fever pitch with dual selfie cams. Instead of 3D or refocus fads, these are for the social aspects – the second 120° lens lets you get so many more of your friends in the shot.

LG's latest heavy hitter has numerous hardware protections against shocks, enough to earn it a military-grade certification. It has a rigid stainless steel frame with silicone bumpers to absorb shocks and a dual glass solution on the front.

Like HTC recent offering (the One A9), the LG V10 picks the more modest chipset – Snapdragon 808. Having seen water cooling solutions for the S810 from Microsoft, there are no excuses from LG for using the lesser-powered chipset.

Still, the pricing is great – cheaper than the Galaxy S6 edge+ and if you snag an LG V10 in the US by the November 15 you get a 200GB microSD card (the V10 has a slot for it, yay!), a second battery plus a charging cradle for it.

So, what say you: LG V10, hot or not?
