The LG G Flex...you Gotta See This by Esdb(m): 5:22am On Dec 27, 2013 |
With so many flagship "plus ones" out there, it's refreshing to see something truly revolutionary. The LG G Flex is curved like a Beckham free kick and has a flexible screen and battery, along with a unique self-healing coating on the back. LG G Flex official images The LG G Flex is curved top to bottom and, as the name suggests, it can flex. It's not bendable like rubber, you have to really put some muscle to it. It's quite impressive all the same, as nothing about phones is flexible, not the screen glass, not the screen itself, nor the motherboard or battery. Oh well, they didn't use to be. Key features Unique: curved design Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support; CDMA and 1xEV-DO Quad-band 3G with HSPA; Penta-band LTE Cat. 4 6" 16M-color 720p curved POLED capacitive touchscreen; Gorilla glass Android OS v4.2.2 Jelly Bean; LG Optimus UI Quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400 CPU, 2 GB RAM, Adreno 330 GPU, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset 13 MP autofocus camera with LED flash, geo-tagging, Intelligent Auto, Time catch shot, smart shutter and VR panoramas 1080p video recording @ 60fps with continuous autofocus and stereo sound; HDR mode, Dual recording, optical image stabilization 2.1 MP front-facing camera, 1080p video recording 32GB of built-in storage, 24GB user-available microUSB port, USB host support, USB on-the-go, SlimPort TV-out Bluetooth v4.0 NFC Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct and DLNA GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS Standard 3.5 mm audio jack Stereo FM radio with RDS Voice commands Multi-tasking with Dual Window, mini-apps with optional transparency (QSlide) Accelerometer and proximity sensor Active noise cancellation with dedicated mic Non-replaceable 3,500mAh Li-Po battery IR emitter for remote control of home appliances Main disadvantages Screen has low ppi, issues Rather large device even for a phablet No optical image stabilization for the camera The hardware controls at the back take some time getting used to No microSD slot Non-replaceable battery LG leaned on its component manufacturing skills and created a Plastic OLED (POLED) screen that's flexible (more so than the G Flex itself). The next step is a curved, flexible Lithium Polymer battery (a world first). Despite its odd shape and 8.7mm thickness of the phone, the battery has a respectable 3,500mAh capacity. The screen measures the massive 6", but the curve of the device helps the ergonomics. While it impresses with size and flexibility, the screen has only 720p resolution (245ppi). Here's hoping that the new technology makes up for the lacking density. While flexible screens and batteries might become more popular with wearable devices (say a smartwatch that wraps around your wrist), the next trick might become standard for all sorts of devices - the coating on the back can heal itself if scratched. This will put an end to all the silly cases and protectors that just make phones thick and ugly. Any Questionss??

Even with its awesome specs, after about 2 years (or even less) LG will abandon it and software updates would be pipe dream. See SGN 1, it's still stuck on Android 4.1 |
