South Korean tech giant LG Electronics is preparing to unveil its latest smartphone on Oct. 1 in New York. Dubbed the V10, the new Android smartphone is expected to sport dual display screens on the front.
The LG V10 handset had already crossed through TENAA's certification in China earlier this month, along with images that gave a glimpse of the phone's design. In addition, the South Korean company recently released a video for the upcoming event, on its YouTube channel, confirming the phone's existence.
In terms of the specs, the LG V10 is anticipated to sport a 5.7-inch display screen with a 2560 x 1440 (QHD) pixel resolution. The new phone will have a sharp 16 mega pixel camera on the back with dual-LED flash, along with a 5 mega pixel camera on the front.
Similar to LG's popular G4 smartphone, the LG V10 is expected to pack a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC processor as well, along with 3GB of RAM and up to 64GB of expandable memory storage.
Also, the V10 might come with a fingerprint sensor that will be integrated into the power key. As for the display, the device will come with a second small screen placed right above the primary one, a feature similar to Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 Edge Plus, GSM Arena reported.
LG's next move to release a smartphone product with a unique display feature could help the company regain its strength in the Android smartphone market, CNET reported. In the meantime, more details are expected to come out next week.
