Oh Canada! You're not getting the LG V10

If you live in Canada and was hoping to pick up the LG V10, there is some bad news from LG. The manufacturer released a statement today, telling Canadians that there are no plans to bring the V10 to the country. LG recommends instead, that Canadian smartphone buyers turn to the LG G4. LG released the statement in response to an inquiry about when the phone would be available in Canada.

The LG V10 features a 5.7-inch screen with a 1440 x 2560 resolution. Above the display is a second 2.1-inch screen used for notifications, time, date and weather. With the resolution of the extra screen at 160 x 1040, both the main screen and the secondary one each have a pixel density of 513ppi. A Snapdragon 808 chipset is under the hood, carrying a hexa-core 1.8GHz CPU and the Adreno 418 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside, along with 64GB of internal memory. A 2TB capacity microSD slot is available for those who need more storage. The rear-facing 16MP camera includes OIS, and there is a dual camera set up in the front with one lens taking wide-angle selfies. A 3000mAh replaceable battery keeps the lights on, and Android 5.1.1 is pre-installed.


LG hasn't given an explanation why it isn't taking the LG V10's talents north of the border. As the manufacturer says, Canadians who must have a high-end LG handset can go with the LG G4 instead.
