Hard pass. The main reason for the G Flex's existence seems to be that people don't buy new stuff if you don't make new stuff. At its high price, you're also paying a whole lot for what is essentially a gimmick. I can't imagine carting this around for two...
Honestly, this is good phone from LG. On power, specs and battery life alone it's a solid top end option. The problem is – it comes with a hefty price tag. At over $900 US you want to be really sure that you need a curved, flexible, self-healing phone. F...
Neat concept; LG overlay is easier to adapt to, especially if you're a new user; High performance from the CPU and memory; Excellent 4G performance; Camera shoots 4K Ultra HD; Decent battery life; Comfier than you might expect;
Screen may be curved, but it's also 720p, and not the 1080p we expect out of high-end phones; No expandable memory; Elastic polymer paint won't fix all scratches, so don't expect it to; LG keyboard still isn't great; Big size may not work for everyone;
The first curved handset is indeed an interesting beast, bringing a creative solution to a problem that is beginning to plague handsets.While every other manufacturer is leaning hard on protective glass coatings such as what Corning provides and mineral s...

Abstract: No. Just stop it. Please. Oh God no. He won't stop. This guy I'm with keeps pushing down on the LG G-Flex to make it completely straight. No you'll break it! Is it meant to be this good?The LG G-Flex is coming to Australia, and that's great news, because...
Unqiue design, Fantastic battery life, Capable camera
Creaky build, Display is average, Childish icons, Very expensive
While I'm not the biggest fan of the world's biggest phones, I don't mind the LG G Flex at all. Perhaps the curve makes it interesting, or maybe I've just gotten used to bigger phones. Whether the curve is just a gimmick or not doesn't matter because it'...
The LG G Flex's contoured display renders media watching more immersive, it features a scratch-resistant coating, and its sizable battery provides an adequate amount of juice
The G Flex's massive size can be unwieldy, its camera quality is mediocre, and its 720p display can't outpace its competitors
Despite a novel construction and scuff-proof exterior, the LG G Flex's doesn't flex enough muscle against the Samsung Galaxy Round or the Note 3....
Design is comfortable to hold and carry, Curved screen is amazing for video playback, Powerful 2.26GHz quad-core CPU (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800), 32GB onboard storage
Low resolution for screen size (1280x720 at 6in, 245ppi), No microSD card slot for expansion, Very ‘plastic' look and feel
The LG G Flex may end up being somewhat of a gimmick, but does feel comfortable in the hand, and provides a better-than-average video playback experience thanks to its curved display. We hope it makes its way down to Australia and New Zealand...

The G Flex is a successful experiment from a company that likely never expected it to expand far beyond its Korean borders. While it's hard to recommend on the hardware differentiation alone — the curve is interesting but not that useful — the device is a...
Abstract: The onset of spring means a cavalcade of new products in the tech world, especially in phones. In that vein, over the next few days I'll be taking a look at several of the season's hottest releases, starting with perhaps the most unique entry: LG's G Flex...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the LG G Flex Android smartphone. It's called the Flex because the display has a 700mm radius curve and because the phone is a wee bit flexible. It has a 6″, 1280 x 720 plastic AMOLED display that's flexible and it runs on the Qualcomm S...
