Finally, we may see LG launching the G Flex “curved” handset in India today. While the invite to LG’s press briefing didn’t mention which devices will be launched, it’s more than apparent when you see the arcs above and below the headline.
The G Flex was initially launched for the South Korean market and is only the second phone to have a curved display panel. Apart from the LG Flex, Samsung has its version of a curved handset in the form of the Galaxy Round. Click here to read our specs comparison of both devices.
Premature announcement?
The design is vertical oriented as the phone is curved on the horizontal axis. According to LG, the design reduces the distance between user’s mouth and microphone when the Flex is held against the ear. The LG G Flex is powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. On the camera front, the G Flex comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera. It packs in a 3,500 mAh battery and runs on Android 4.2.2.One of the highlights of the device is the “self healing” protective film for the back panel. LG claims that the phone can heal itself against minor scratches and bumps. The special protective film on the back cover will ensure that the hairline scratches disappear within minutes. LG has also added a host of features that take advantage of the curved screen. A feature called QTheater lets users quickly access photos, videos and YouTube directly from the lockscreen just by dragging outwards along the curved surface with both fingers. It creates a theater curtain effect before introducing the video. The phone also comes with a “dual window” mode that allows users to multitask better and also a “swing-lock screen” that keeps changing the device’s wallpaper depending on how the phone is held in users’ hands.
