After using the LG v10 for a couple of weeks I can honestly say this is one fantastic all in one solution, phone/DAP, it has the 5 critical things plus many more, like accurate finger print scanner as a bonus, with a very crisp, sharp display. Which is very comfy on the eyes.
1. Removable battery, this is extremely rare solution these days (like rocking hoarse dung), and golden, I can carry triple the power in my pocket.. Why would any company by be silly enough leave it out?
2. Expandable memory, not only was 64gig supplied internally in this base model LG v10 h962, which is a steal at around $600.00 AUD delivered, but LG supplied an expansion slot to keep this v10 memory upgradeable, for many memory upgrades to come.
3. Build quality is tough, it feels solid in your hand, and with a case/screen protector the phone feels great, v10 has a reliable military like construction, very well thought out, industrial design.
4. Now this is really important, the phone/DAP just works, never freezes or crashes, it just keeps on humming, like a finely tuned beast, no need for updated UI, the software has been done well, with all the features any user would need.
5. The most important reason, the reason we are here, and that's how this thing sounds, and in nutshell, it's easy above anything I have heard in phones, it's a mid priced DAP killer, but with a phone... And a great phone at that.
I don't think any cell phone can touch it, not with these features in tail. (but I have not heard them all) well maybe the LG G5, and that's going to be one phone to look out for as well. But unfortunately looks and felt fragile.
I believe for the value, the V10 is king of the expandable memory phones, well maybe just for now. Grab one while you still can. LG may clue in to this unbelievable priced phone, and put the price back up.
Or even worse, stop production of this great value cell phone.
