How To Root At&t and Verizon LG V10

Just last year, we saw LG’s flagship device the LG V10 which definitely was one of its-own-kind smartphone. LG V10’s might specifications and cool design inside a premium build helped it to stand apart from the crowd. LG used a 5.7-inch QHD display with 515 ppi accompanied by a 5 MP duo camera setup on the front. At the back we saw a 16 MP shooter.
