The V10 is much better than a gimmick, but think carefully before you get one.
I was initially skeptical of LG's V10. Both the second screen and dual selfie cameras struck me as classic phone gimmicks in the vein of the Samsung Continuumor Kyocera Echo: They seem like good ideas when you're in the store, but you'll forget that they exist in a matter of weeks. But are they really that frivolous? And could the fingerprint reader, tougher body and better video recording controls come in handy, too? There's only one way to find out. I've spent several weeks living with the V10, and I was pleasantly surprised: It's clear that LG's extras can be genuinely useful. This isn't a flawless phone, though, and you'll still want to think carefully before picking one up for yourself.
