What to expect from the G Flex

The CES allowed us to perform a hands-on review of the LG G Flex, a phone we see as being quite innovative, but that still holds room for improvement, especially in terms of display resolution (not even Full HD) and camera quality (of 13 MP). On the other hand, it does come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, a leader in mobile processors and some cool software features like KnockOn and Q Theatre. The curved shape supposedly has many advantages that increase your viewing, listening and operating experience. The chassis is also made of a self-healing plastic, where minor scratches and such will dissapear after a few hours. For more information, check out our LG G Flex hands-on review.
The phone is also set to become available with T-Mobile and AT&T, but LG and Sprint have a special partnership which was announced at the CES. More information on other mobile carriers to come in the near future.
