We’ve already heard a lot about the first LG curved OLED smartphone – the LG G Flex. We know that the device comes with a 6-inch HD OLED, a powerful 3,500mAh battery, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. To this day, we were sure that despite coming with a curved display, the handset itself wouldn’t curve. It turns out that we were wrong and the phone DOES CURVE! Keep reading to see how it happens.
The LG G Flex boasts an arc from top to bottom, which makes it more convenient to hold the device in the back pockets of jeans. According to the short video that hit the Web a couple of days ago, the G Flex can curve a bit, but to do that you will need to apply a reasonable amount of force. So, the device won’t curve while hanging in the back pockets orin your purse.

Owing to the unique LG G Flex design, speaking over the phone becomes more convenient. The vertically curved LG G Flex design reduces the distance between your mouth to the microphone with the phone held against the ear.
Your handset will always look like new owing to the Self Healing feature. The elastic coating of the smartphone has the ability to recover from scratches and nicks.
The device has already reached the Korean market, however there is still no information about the price and the date of its international launch. Let’s hope we’ll be able to put hands on this beast by the end of the year.
