Camera details
The camera features the Sony Exmor IMX240 image sensor{{Cite web |url=https://neurogadget.net/2015/12/11/lg-v10-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-plus-their-biggest-advantage/21511 |title=LG V10 vs. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus camera review by NeuroGadget.net, December 11th 20156 |access-date=2020-06-25 |archive-date=2020-06-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200627080646/https://neurogadget.net/2015/12/11/lg-v10-vs-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-plus-their-biggest-advantage/21511 |url-status=dead }} has 16 megapixels, 2160p (4K) video recording, a {{f/}}1.8 aperture, laser autofocus and includes optical image stabilization with manual DSLR-like modes for video and still shots. There are two front 5 megapixel cameras for widescreen “groupies” (group portraits).
Although the LG V10 features the same camera hardware as the LG G4, the camera software is more sophisticated and richer in functionality that includes RAW photography and manual camera parameter settings (exposure, ISO, exposure value, manual focus) for both photos and videos.
An additional feature called “rear curtain sync” allows firing the camera flash at the end of the exposure time instead of the beginning, which supposedly prevents the overexposure of closer subjects.[https://www.gsmarena.com/lg_v10-review-1333p9.php Sample images with “rear curtain sync” in GSMArena review (Page 9)]
In manual video mode, the LG V10 allows setting the framerate to levels between 1 and 120 frames per second, of which the highest available framerate depends on the selected resolution (e.g. 1080p at 60fps, 720p at 120fps). The bitrate can be set to the three levels of “high”, “medium” and “low” relative to the selected resolution and framerate combination.
The LED torch that can be used to illuminate video recordings can be toggled during video recording.
A wireless bluetooth microphone can be used for recording the sound of a video.

Reception
CNET gave the LG V10 a 4 out of 5, praising its incorporation of premium features such as a fingerprint reader and wide-angle front-facing camera options, as well as LG's continued inclusion of a removable battery and expandable storage. It was noted that many of its premium features (such as the dual-front cameras and extra message display) felt more like they were "nice to have" rather than must-have features, concluding that "If the V10's goodies aren't essential for you — meaning you don't need a wider view for your selfies or another screen to access your favorite apps and contacts -- it's best to go with something cheaper." Android Authority concluded that the V10 was a more powerful device than the LG G4 due to its additional features and upgrades, stating that "if the G4 fell short of your expectations and you were looking for more, a lot more is what you are getting with the LG V10."{{cite web|url=http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-v10-review-654281/#conclusion|title=LG V10 review|author=Lanh Nguyen|date=9 November 2015|work=Android Authority}}
The V10 was found to be susceptible to hardware failure nearly identical to that of the G4, as both devices suffered from a manufacturing defect that eventually caused instability, and the devices to enter an unrecoverable reboot loop and thus, inoperable. A class-action lawsuit was filed in March 2017, alleging that LG continued to market and distribute phones with the defect even after LG publicized it.{{cite web|title=Class-action lawsuit targets LG over legendary G4, V10 bootloop issues|url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/03/class-action-lawsuit-targets-lg-over-legendary-g4-v10-bootloop-issues/|website=Ars Technica|date=16 March 2017 |access-date=17 March 2017}}
