LG G Flex is the first curved smartphone to make in its entry into the U.S. market. The Samsung Galaxy Round is an upcoming rival the G Flex will have to compete with at some point. But for now, the LG G Flex will have to go head to head with 'flat' handset in the market and those like the Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S5 to be unveiled later this year.
When it comes to curved screens, the display is fuzzy, undermining the quality of images despite some visual advantage.
While thesizs of the screen sounds great, the 6 incher is a bulky affair and difficult to hold except when you're on landscape mode. And the rear 13 megapixel shots are shaky and mediocre.
The LG G Flex is the infamous because not many people think about missing a curved screen on their phone. At the bendable device provides great voice clarity since it's closer to the mouth and packs a really uncrushable handset. So, the durable design will come in handy even if you drop your phone a couple of times.
One benefit of the LG G FLEX offers is that it cuts down reflections. Its also ergonomically shaped giving it an unique shape. Although having the mouth piece closer by a margin does not significantly increase voice clarity, using a smartphone like an actual landline phone is 'cool' and feels right.
The LG G Flex deserves credit for more than a curved screen. It's a smartphone with a whopping 6" OLED screen sporting a 1,280 x 720 resolution. It is too bad that the LG G Flex does not have a HD screen display.
Looking at the T-Mobile version of the LG G Flex phone gives you a chance to look at the phone as a smartphone I would use everyday.
While turning on the G Flex, you might notice the screen as being grainy. Not to worry;this is the way it was built. This effect is worse against backgrounds. This phone's collaboration with LG Display, an expert display manufacturer.
