The
classy metallic design of the LG K10 with its metal U-frame not only looks sleek, but it is also packed with
premium features not normally found in its price range. The K10 is equipped
with the advanced 13MP rear camera technology found
in the flagship LG G6
and a high resolution 8MP front camera that supports Bokeh when shooting selfies. With the K10, shutterbugs won’t miss any great
photo opportunities with Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) which is 23 percent
faster than traditional auto focus. And the new Smart Rear Key not only unlocks
the phone with a fingerprint, it also triggers Quick Shutter for faster photos and Quick Capture for easy screen shots.

timer triggers the shutter. With Timer Helper, the K8 and K10 will help keep count
using the flash as a visual aid so friends and family can be in the exact
position at the right time.
