Just as expected, LG today started selling the V10 in its home country, South Korea (where it’s already October 8). Officially announced last week, the V10 is LG’s newest high-end smartphone, and, besides being released in Korea, it’s also going to be available around the world – including in the US, where Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile will offer it in the near future.

Off contract, the LG V10 costs 799,700 KRW (about $680) in Korea. Customers who are buying the V10 before the end of October will get a free Quick Cover as a gift (we don’t know if this promotion will also be available in other countries).

The V10 is a pretty large device, as it sports a main 5.7-inch Quad HD display, plus a smaller 2.1-inch screen (1040 x 160 pixels) above it – for notifications, app shortcuts, and more. Also above the main display is where you’ll find a dual 5 MP front-facing camera which, according to LG, should make users ditch selfie sticks, as this camera can take 120-degree selfies. The V10 is further packed with other high-end features, including a 16 MP rear camera with laser auto focus, fingerprint scanner, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, and microSD card support.
