LG V30: LG Electronics ' upcoming V30 smartphone will feature a floating bar that "inherits the convenience" of the second screen of previous models, the company says.
When not in use, the floating bar appears as a semi-circular icon that users can place on either side of the screen.
Users can move the bar by dragging the icon, which when opened displays the five most used applications. The semi-circle on the sides can be moved up and down, where users find it most convenient.
The South Korean company said earlier this month that the LG V30 will feature an OLED display, but confirmed that we won't see the V series' second screen icon, which allowed users to access the most popular apps and check the time.
The upcoming V30 will have the popular always-on feature. Users will be able to adjust Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, camera, screenshot, and hand-held lighting settings even when the screen is locked and off.
It will also feature an “expert mode” for the camera, which will allow users to adjust aperture, white balance, shutter speed and other settings while taking photos.
Last week, LG announced that the new V30 will be the first smartphone with an f/1.6 lens.
The V30's voice recognition will allow users to unlock the screen by saying a keyword or phrase. It will also feature fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, and knock code to unlock the device.
