Smartphones don’t have to be flat. They don’t have to be rigid either. At least that’s what LG wants us to believe, and the G Flex is supposed to be the living proof of this radical concept.
LG G flex is running an android version of 4.2.2 on top of android with LG’s custom skins and their OS optimus UI. LG G flex is the first curviest smartphone by its company and its tough competitor to the Samsung galaxy round which is Samsung's first curved phone too. Though it has a large wide screen it was not able to operate by one hand but LG manages it ways to this smartphone.

DISPLAY
LG G flex has a large 6 inches display which many people
will think why do I need such a large screen display. Later the start of 2013
when galaxy note II was released people thought the same but it changed the game
of all the smartphones people liked Samsung galaxy note II. 6 inches does not
look that much weird while talking on the phone, it will look just like the
Samsung galaxy S3 or the canvas 4 eventually. Due to its curvy display it
becomes more stable, easy to handle this device with such a large screen.
Instead of two handed, the device becomes a one handed device. The resolution
is some what the LG G flex is lagging in competition with all the smartphones in
the industry. It comes with a 720 p resolution, instead of now-a-days common
1080p Hd displays.
The
G Flex features a 6-inch P-OLED (p-plastic) display of 720 x 1280 pixels (HD)
resolution, translating to about 245 ppi. Though it has poor 245 ppi but its
curved display doesn't ruin the display of the G flex. Though we can easily
identify the difference in the display.
Viewing
angles are superb due to its curved display. Overall, LG really showed its
display making prowess here, and if you’re looking for a large display, you
should definitely check this device.
It
has proximity light sensors and led notification indicator.
CAMERA
Camera
with the LG G flex is quite decent. It takes a decent amount of images. It has
13 megapixels shooter with flash and the front facing camera has a 2.1
megapixel shooter which is quite better than the nexus devices. The pictures it
takes is good than the nexus 5 but not as good as the note 3. The rear camera
on the LG G Flex is pretty similar to that on the LG G2, with the biggest
difference being the lack of optical image stabilization. The camera app also
offers many customization option and different types of modes like the HDR+ ,
panorama, dual shot, burst mode…
HARDWARE & PERFORMANCE
Lg
powers this guy with the latest specs available in the industry which brings up
its competition level– a Snapdragon 800 bringing together four Krait 400 cores
clocked at 2.26 GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU, along with 2GB of RAM.
Overall
the performance shown by the g flex is very snappy which is provided to it
under the hood which is expected by a modern flagship device. It is way more
than what the system requirement exists. With the latest graphic adreno 330 GPU
all the HD games work flawlessly on this device. Due to its large screen it
becomes quite easy while playing games. Coming across the sound Call quality is
good, the earpiece is nice and loud, and the noise-cancelling microphone should
help with call quality, especially in environments with steady background
noise, such as in a moving car or train.
The G flex brags a price when it comes to
the inbuilt non removable battery. The battery which powers the hardcore g flex
is a 3,500 mAh battery which has the potential to go through the day with heavy
usage without any problems; instead it can run through the other half day of
your work also so. You need not need to worry about your alarm because, In
stand-by, the phone drained just five percent of its battery in about eight
hours, so you won’t have to worry about missing your alarm due to the phone
shutting down overnight.
The
main thing in which the LG G flex differs from other smartphones is that it
does not have any physical buttons on the front and the sides. It has a led
notification and volume rockers toward its rear and have many features like
pressing the volume down rocker to click the image. For the first few days
it’ll feel somewhat not useful but you’ll get used to it.
SOFTWARE
The G flex runs the well know LG’s well know android overlay, Optimus UI (user interface), but unfortunately it does make use of the curved screen, overall the system is running android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, Latest tweaks of this Optimus UI is that we are able to scroll the Lockscreen without touching the phone and I think its amazing the way you tilt the phone the lockscreen widgets does the same. LG has some its apps like QSlide apps that you can float on the screen for some basic multiwindow multitasking and SlideAside, which lets you slide up to three apps to the left of the screen and then easily recall them with a swipe to the right

And,
we must say, watching video on the big curved screen of the G Flex is a
pleasure.
But
the most useful tool in the ‘G Flex’ is probably DualWindow, which lets you
split the screen in half and open up two apps of your choice just like the
Samsung galaxy note 3.
PRICING & FINAL THOUGHTS
The
G flex is the key to the future generation of the smartphones. It’s a step
towards new generation of the curved screens and flexible devices. LG has not
revealed the G Flex’s pricing and availability details in the Western
markets, but we expect the device to hover somewhere at the upper end of the
market. When it becomes available, in the first part of next year, we will
probably see it for around $700 unlocked and for $199 to $299 on contract. The
G Flex is not worth buying for its curved screen alone, but it’s definitely an
interesting device that you should at least consider because of its self
healing back panel which is said to remove the small scratches from the rear.
And it does comes with a fair enough 32 GB built in storage.
