Here’s a brief look of the new LG V10 alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. We talk about how the V10 is a big phone — and here you go, it’s absolutely bigger than the Note 5. It also couldn’t feel more different. Whereas the Note 5 is a large, slick expanse of glass on both sides, the V10 has LG’s new “Dura Skin” on the back. The extra grip that rubber provides does wonders to making the larger phone easier to hold. And with the buttons on the back, your fingers know exactly where to go.
And while there are plenty who will fight to the death to keep the fingerprint sensor on the front of a phone, I’ll still argue that it works great on the back — it’s now built in to the power button.
And the V10 is still surprisingly thin for its size, though it is more curved than the Note 5.
