sorry when you know there were a few like you know indications that we were gonna see two forward-facing cameras on this new phone and it turns out that they're not for 3d purposes they are for taste taking really wide selfies there's like an 80 degree camera with a field of view of 80 degrees and then a 120 degree field of view so you can take really expansive Groovy's are they just stitching the pictures together wider angle so the two fields of view like make it a wider picture I mean they're trying I got I think it's war on the selfie stick you know I know I'm declaring war on the selfie stick I don't even but here's the thing the whole word groovy actually doesn't make sense it doesn't because it should be groupie it shouldn't be groovy there's no there's no I don't hang out with a group of friends take a picture of myself but I don't take a picture myself Wow selfie roofie I didn't roofie it's got it it's got a ring to it you never know you never know maybe 2015 2016 is gonna be the year of the groovy it could be so um we'll just yeah we'll just go down some of the specs of what we expect to see in this phone it's bringing a Snapdragon 808 processor so a capable one it's not the most current most modern Snapdragon processor out there 5.7 inch quad HD IPS display 2560 by 1440 resolution that's a 513 pixel per inch density there's a secondary display that is that little top right a little ticker display that they call 2.1 inches it's 160 by 1040 resolution that also is a 513 resolution pixel per inch four gigs of ddr3 RAM inside this bad boy looks like us and then what else we have 16 megapixel camera with an F 1.18 aperture Frye front-facing camera will be 5 megapixels through thousand milliampere our battery it will be running android 5.1.1 lollipop so ok looks like we're starting what's gonna go kick right to it now here's the happy back what you can happy about the amazing new bellboy is the belt system dancer today for twenty one who must be available at all times the set is still working one can I pick up the pictures of Thursday the stairs there can you make a note of that and I write it down there what's going for well then let's say Tuesday I mean two days earlier no five days later I thought as much oh yeah when you hang up on it now it's shorter you know what I'll make sure you have the best table in Spain so it's not just a pretty face then there's million Americans it's everything you need so we do you I'm sick of this and quiet at the clients at this point I'm not sure how we do business check out the swing the sources can be anybody anywhere security I'm telling you it's like I can't trust nobody did you with the resources I've had my side ladies and gentlemen please welcome LG director communications and account marketing mr. Frank Lee well hello and welcome to the premiere of the LG v10 we're here at the beautiful Walter E theater the home of the New York Film Festival and it's all about movies it's about moving pictures it's about video we talked to you a while back about the visual generation at the LG g4 day and that has continued to evolve we've seen more and more movement from photos to videos we also see a greater demand from people like yourselves for higher quality and our customers people want more and we're here to give them more more innovation for a better life a great first example is the innovation of the LG G watch urbane second edition LTE you just saw a preview for that it's the first wearable device featuring cellular connectivity in an Android wear platform with the option to connect through 4G 3G Wi-Fi and Bluetooth it works seamlessly with your Android smartphone or on its own when carrying a smartphone is just not practical or convenient of course the cellular enable features will vary from Android and also for iOS but the whole idea is that it's a continuation of LG's vision of creating an awesome SmartWatch while capturing the essence of a timepiece it's the perfect balance of style connectivity and convenience but I promise today that the preview isn't the best part of the show so with that in mind let's get to the thing that you're all here for our main feature so please turn your phones and your cameras on ladies and gentlemen here's the star of our premiere the new LG v10 the LG v10 is designed to provide a rich multimedia experience both in terms of consumption but also creation perfect for today's social network savvy customer the new D Series by LG is designed to ignite creativity and passion it's designed for everyone from the influencer who's already making and sharing but also to inspire those everyday people so they can find how they can create content for themselves through the G Series LG has been acknowledged for its excellent quality and the user experience of our premium smartphones the v10 is a signal towards a new engaging experience we are headed in a direction where innovation isn't being driven by just technical advances but also because of social and cultural change as we see people shift from photos to videos we want to support support them in their needs and also increase their capabilities just think how much video you are using now to share you used to just upload photographs and now you're streaming you're uploading 610 15-second videos it's the new form for that reason LG paid special attention to video functions for the first smartphone in our v series amongst other things the LG v10 offers users the ultimate video capture editing sharing capabilities but before we go into that any further I want us to look at what is made up of the LG v10 in terms of its construction we talked about innovation we don't just mean what's on the inside we also put a lot of energy and time against making sure that the innovations include things that like not worrying about dropping your phone I mean we drop our phones and it not good it's never a good feeling for that reason the LG v10 is covered with protective materials from both sides with both duraguard and also stainless steel in fact the v10 is tested and met the requirements of the military standard transit drop test what that means is that the LG v10 survived drop tests made up of 26 different angles from four feet and onto surfaces made of plywood and concrete analogy we make choices ones that sometimes may require a little more effort on our part just to make sure we're delivering a product that you can be excited about and that you could see the practical benefits it's important to know that we make these choices some of which come at a cost to us buts because these are things that you've desired and you shared them with us and you've told us about these for example the material costs of stainless steel is almost double that of aluminum however we use stainless steel with the v10 because we know that gives it the durability that we're all looking for a practical benefit and a worthwhile investment on our part keeping that in mind the v10 also features the popular microSD card slot now of course that's extended to 2 terabytes but more importantly it's compatible with the recently announced 200 gigabyte SanDisk SD card so now v10 owners can enjoy all the media they want without having to be worried about the capacity and so they can store high-volume files also the LG v10 comes again with its popular removable battery 3,000 milliamps so having the ability to swap out the battery remains to be an important commitment by LG even in the fact that we could make it thinner but not the cost of getting rid of that battery now coming back to video let's talk about steady record which uses an electronic image stabilization optimized to neutralize shake and to help capture a video even when you're on the move also the innovative manual camera mode that we all saw in the LG g4 has now been enhanced to manual video mode people now can edit and adjust while recording video so now you can easily create high quality content with more advanced recording options such as ISO shutter speed the white balance and even focus as you film there is a quick video editor which allows users to easily cut or change the speed of frames and add after effects such as colors and even background music its built in right into the phone and it's actually more dynamic than more the options in an app we also have snap video mode which enables you to capture and combine a series of video clips that you can easily share with others we take away the intimidation of currying and narrative with video so you can create a one-minute video by assembling a dozen three-second Clips there's also a 15 second Auto edit which makes a 15-second highlight video of any video you've created it does this by using an algorithm that measures movement and look at sections where there's no no activity or blurriness so all this is happening so that it's easy for you to quickly edit and share and once you have captured and edited your video you do need to share it and so for that purpose we now have quick share one of the most noteworthy features of the v10 so as soon as you're done with your clip you can click on the icon and you'll be able to select from your social media networks and post your videos directly and although videos are awesome some of us still love the selfie so for those people we have two front-facing cameras the LG v10 features five megapixel dual front cameras with two separate lenses so one at eighty degrees for your standard shot and another and 120 degrees for that wide-angle shot so you can say goodbye to that awkward selfie stick we also introduced an amazing new multi View mode which basically takes advantage of all the cameras so you get three perspectives sequentially when you're taking photographs but when you're taking videos all the footage is captured at the same time so you get all the action and reactions from all the angles so in addition to the main 5.7 inch quad HD IPS quantum display we have a new feature called the second screen it's the first of its kind and it's an inset display so it works independently of the second screen the second screen works independently and can be set up as an always-on display to enhance the v10s productiveness but another practical benefit is that you have quick access to all your notifications and information without having to turn on the main display so you're extending the life of the battery by using second display what's more the second screen turns off when you slide it into your pocket or bag that way you're again saving battery so along with video recording options you can directly monitor the audio inputs as you're recording such as the audio level for example and in any setting you know busy street or live concert this audio monitoring feature enables you to adjust the sensitivity of three independent mics built into the LG v10 we've also have a wind noise filter for those situations when you're outside the LG v10 includes the best in sound as well it's powered by a 32 bit high five DAC digital analog converter from ESS technology the LG v10 not only makes your music sound amazing it even up samples many formats including live streams and your of course your mp3s to HiFi it also features a new finger print sensor to unlock the device and allow access to your mobile payments the popular LG knock code is still there and so you have the choice of those two options the LG v10 is about to launch in Korea on October 8 and will thereafter be available across global markets in China here in the US Latin America or the Middle East Asia here in the US were proud to announce that we'll be carrying the product with our partners at AT&T Verizon and t-mobile available in space black luxe white and Opel blue so the fact of the matter remains is that we actually have put the v10 into use and is being used to develop content as you know LG announced that it partnered with actor writer and director Joseph gordon-levitt and his Emmy award-winning production company hit record to create creative content the innovative collaboration builds upon our commitment to celebrate and support artists and everyday people over the span of this coming year for us Joe is not the celebrity spokesperson he's an established artist and together we're tapping into the hit record community the creative individuals to deliver on our promise that through purposeful innovation we can help tell better stories and LG were committed to helping people from artists and everyday people democratizing the ability for the world to share and make content this is how Joe and hit record community work and so it was a natural partnership with LG so Joe and hit record have called upon the community and their filmmakers artists writers musicians to develop the first project I love our partnership it's a collaboration called the in-between moments so let's turn our attention back to the screen because Joe has some words to share with us you recording hey everybody I hope you're having a great morning I wish I could have been there with you but I did have a chance recently to sit down with LG's very own mr. Frank Lee and we had a great conversation about hit record and algae this partnerships been really really great for us and really fruitful and check it out thanks again what's up Frank so this is in Karla when you think about it there are so many different facets of who we are that come to life throughout the day and hitRECord embraces that creates a space for others to find ways to express and discover for themselves yeah their voice or their stories that they want to tell that's just it you know this community sort of sprouted up around this website that my brother and I started and hitRECord kind of offers an avenue to be creative for the fun of it I think what's exciting about what you do with hitRECord is that it's very organic and it's it's really sharing I find storytelling you know it is impact of sharing storytelling is something that's that's a universal and in all humans I think it's part of what makes us human and technology has always been a part of it now in our generation it's a super exciting time to be alive you know the internet is changing storytelling forever it's our time to really figure out okay what can we do now that's different than what we used to do we have this new tool we have this new capability but we're still using it the way we did mostly just imitating the old way of doing it smartphones currently that's where the Internet has been free no longer tethered to a physical space not your home at the office library how has that changed the way people tell stories well you know the old saying goes the best camera is the one you have on you when I was fifteen I had a camera that was Jim film and he was beautiful it took beautiful shots and I'm still a lover of celluloid but it's a big thing kind of complicated to use it was prohibitive it meant that you weren't gonna probably have the camera on you when you saw that spontaneous beautiful thing you're like oh my God look at that I wish I had a camera well so now we actually probably can get out our phone and take a picture of it before it goes away what's led you to pursue this project with LG I love coming back to hitRECord I love working with people that aren't in Hollywood that don't have an agent that you know don't live anywhere that I've ever visited but they come with that first perspective and it keeps sort of refreshing me and invigorating me and having a website that is a hub for hundreds of thousands of people to contribute their you know media of all different kinds and stuff you know you can't do that for free it costs money to have this office and to you know have the bandwidth of our website etc and so it's really really cool to have a brand like LG you know support us and not support us by like twisting us into doing something that we don't want to do but he's able to come on and be like all right there's that in-between moments concept that's been you know circulating around the community already and you want to take that further cool we believe in you and we believe in that and we'll support it it really makes what we do possible and then you share it about these in-between moments you centered on that can you keep your library on that what that is for you sure you know nowadays so many of those in-between moments you know if you're in between this and that appointment on your calendar and normally you reach for your phone to sort of consume some little morsel of distraction or entertainment or something but I guess we're asking the question what if you reach through your phone and rather than just wanting to consume you were gonna kind of look around yourself appreciate what is going on in this in-between moment and could you capture that we provide the hardware and in one regard so what has your experience been with the the v10 what sort of jumped out at you well the first thing of course is I have to talk about the frame rate difference between film and video a big part of it is the frame rate and I remember we you and I were having this conversation you were saying if you could wish for anything for the camera on the LG v10 what might you wish for and I said oh oh oh make it shooting 24p please it'll look like a movie and then and you guys shipped us the phone and we looked at and you could actually shoot in 24 feet so we've been talking about the v10 and obviously you and the community have been working on the project are we gonna have an opportunity to get a preview oh yeah man yeah well we've been shooting with it and you should see there's a lot of beautiful footage coming in so as you can see from the in-between moments at the end of that video and also the product features we just shared with you it's all shot on the LG v10 it's a powerful yet easy device to use with the LG v10 and the new V Series by LG we've delivered a new standard when it comes to top two your smartphones so we now want you to have that experience so as you make your way to the exposition zone in the gallery across the hall we want you to see how the new LG v10 is another reminder of how life's good thank you and have a great day is that it that might be a wrap on the announcement they're over in New York City so there you go just like a sneak peek at the LG v10 I mean the little ticker display really cool and then we know even with the LG g4 camera head pretty much the the most options features in a camera on a cell phone they've kind of really trying to take that to heart and expand that on the v10 as well but there you go just showing off the specs right now micro sd obviously it's the trend of a lot of Android phones coming out have sort of been going just for internal storage only rather than expandable sorry and a removable battery too I mean pretty much most of the most of the flagship phones now the Nexus the Samsung s6 and adds they're they're going away from those two features that made Android phones kind of give them some of their identity and differentiate them so the v10 is still trying to stay true to that aspect of the phone but what we're gonna do here now is pretty much wrap things up we know we'll have a hands-on analysis of everything over at cnet.com we just wanted to bring you the keynote for you guys to watch and enjoy next time monday 6:45 a.m. Pacific time are you gonna be here I don't know I'll be awake you know I'll be I'll be watching regardless whether I'm here on oh I'm sure you'll be watching he'll be like Steve and I will be here in the house but that is what we hear actually am i running the show by myself yeah I guess so alright ladies and gentlemen thanks for hanging out with us at seeing it again you can watch all our future coverage coming here with them about the LG v10 and also the LG urbane watch second generation that they also leaked out but they didn't talk about it's an official product out there now in the interwebs so you guys can check all the coverage out for that as
