The familiar LG control button layout rests on the back. The left and right display rims are relatively thick compared against modern smartphones. LG branding resides under the display, and all Android nav buttons are onscreen. Position and ambient lighting sensors sit right next to it. Its left side has been ‘cut off’ in order to leave room for two selfie cameras, while the very top holds the phone speaker. The front side also sports the smaller secondary display, located above the main screen. That said, the LG V10 is not waterproof, despite its rugged body. The material’s soft surface not only enables a strong grip but also helps the V10 obtain MIL-spec (MIL-STD-810G) shock protection so you won’t have to worry about this smartphone if you drop it on the floor or if you’re out in the freezing cold. LG claims it’s twice as resilient to scratches as plastic and ten times more scratch resistant than aluminum. The rear battery lid is covered with Dura Skin, an elastic material akin to silicone.
