LG has announced the company’s new flagship earlier today, the rumored V10 handset. This phablet has leaked several times thus far, and showed off its auxiliary ticker display above its main panel. Well, LG has jumped the gun and announced the device before the official unveiling later today. We’ve already covered the initial announcement of this smartphone, and are going to cover the event itself, so you’ll be able to see some hands-on content as well as some other LG V10-related material.

The ‘Second Screen’ can actually be set as ‘always on’ and display various info like the weather, time, date, etc. You can also use it as an app drawer of sorts when the main display is on.
