I chose cause the backing looks freaking awesome. Looks military-ish. If it was available in Olive drab color and if it was water resistant, I'd be in phone heaven since the first Android g2.
What was the #1 reason you got the V10?

The V10 feels so good in hand. Once you've adapted to daily use of a Nexus 6; even the V10 feels petite and manageable.
I suppose that my number 1 reason was that TMO didn't offer the Nexus 6P, Moto X Pure, nor Blackberry's Priv. I had a Jump to use and wasn't going to a Sammy after the GS6 ( jumped out of) and Note 4. I fondly recalled my G2 and gave LG a chance again; so very glad I did. The V10 is a great phone, IMO.
I continue to believe though that if the 6P ever shows at TMO, I'll jump to it.

The #1 reason for me was the removable battery. I don't generally need to swap batteries and am nearby an outlet when needed, but I tend to keep phones a long time, ie 3+ years. A new battery is really necessary after at least every 1-1.5 yrs, and a replaceable battery just makes it easier.
The #2 reason was the metal frame. My first smartphone was the Droid X which had a metal body. I loved that phone; it was so sturdy and never needed a case. So, I wanted another phone w/ a similar feel. Ideally I would have gone w/ the 6P, but I didn't want to pay it all out of pocket at once.
The #3 reason, I didn't feel like there was a real competitor to it. Other than the 6P, there was just not another phone that I felt was better than the V10. I came from a Samsung phone and was interested in them but the lack of replaceable battery/micro sd slot and the many, many, many horror stories I read from S6 & Note 5 owners convinced me they weren't options. The Moto X was worth owning but I didnt want to pay Moto Credit a 29% interest rate...yeesh! And sorry HTC but other than front facing speakers, which I love, I can't find much else there I care about. That left the LG G4 as the only other competitor, and I could get the V10 for the same price via Tmobile w/ a $100 online discount.

One but not primary was the New front facing camera lens, my wife and I travel alot and often want pictures of us together, even with a selfie stick I was never really satisfied with the range of capture, with the wide angle it's much better (ya ya selfies and I'm 57)

I was changing carriers to AT&T and was also using the HTC M8. Loved that phone and HTC but the camera was still lacking on the M9 and the A9 was a joke. Then there are the Samsung's which I can't really stand the TouchWiz interface they did away with the removable battery and SD card on their current offering but had a great camera.
Now you might think that I chose LG due to the above statement, but not the case. I was all set for the Note 5 or the Edge+ but then the V10 was launched and it was end of story.
#1 Superior Camera - I am a photographer on the side and always taking pictures. Compared to the Samsung's and HTC's currently, the V10 has the best camera. Add in the fact that it shoots in RAW and has full manual mode was a no brainer.
#2 Removable battery and SD card slot. Again useful for how I use the phone.
#3 The special offer. Who can resist useful freebies?
#4 Second Screen. I was not fully sold on this one at first but then found that it was very useful as well.
Overall if you look at it without biased eyes, I think the V10 is the best phone out there currently pending on how you use the phone outside of using it as a phone.

Mind if I ask for what you use the second screen? I keep mine on, but right now it's simply to read MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I don't really use it for much else.

Quick access to apps like camera, gallery contacts, messaging. Media control for the music player and Google Music.
I have not do everything anything to customize it other then changing the signature. The short answer, I found it way more useful then what I expected it would be.

Same reason here plus the promotion was too nice to pass up on. I'm just waiting on it right now but I'm loving this phone a lot so far.
I have come to use it a whole lot to switch between recent apps. It makes that transition super quick!
sd card. battery .metal frame.dual screen protection.hd audio .down loaded my I tunes libary on it all 105 gb worth.sound is perfect.plus it is built tough'
Angry with Microsoft for neutering the Windows Mobile ecosystem and taking away all my OneDrive storage
No single reason, it was a combo of the size, the build quality, the camera, the removables, and the promo.
I love the feel of the device, the second screen and the fact that it's really not that much bigger in the hand than my previous G4. Also the fact that it has the same awesome camera as the G4 is great.
