Since smartphone technology is constantly developing, phone carriers are always on the hunt for the latest phones in the market. Recently, AT&T gained rights to distribute the LG G Flex smartphone, the first curved and bendable phone of its kind. AT&T released details about this interesting development in early January, highlighting the revolutionary features of the device including is flexible design and self-healing back. 
What are the features of LG G Flex Smartphone?
Would you want a curved or flexible phone? Most likely, you’re skeptical about the purpose of the device since LG’s innovative G Flex phone is a bold departure from the standard smartphone design. Skeptics will be happy to know that this device boasts several impressive features including a super-fast processor, self-healing back and powerful curved battery. Â
The main features of G Flex include the following:
- 2.26 GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
This is the fastest processor that’s currently available. A processor of this nature is ideal for multitasking, powering games like Asphalt 8 and other activities. However, note that several flagship phones which will be arriving later this year will probably boast faster processors than Qualcomm Snapdragon 800.
- 6-inch curved true HD P-OLED display (Real RGB)
LG developed an organic, light-emitting diode (OLED) screen that is extremely flexible. A flexible screen of this size offers a novel experience for customers since unlike the Galaxy Round—Samsung’s curved flagship smartphone—the LG G Flex also bends.
- 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage
Memory and storage is an important aspect of any device. In the case of G Flex, the internal memory is definitely not diminished by the nature of design. This device’s high capacity memory is ideal for smartphone users who want the best smartphone experience. It’s also ideal for those who want to access apps, multitask and so forth.

- Self-healing back
G Flex is the first smartphone to implement this type of design. The device has a revolutionary self-healing exterior which removes scratches and other surface damage. This feature is amplified in warmer temperatures so customers in cold climates will need to apply friction or body heat to fully access this feature. Â In addition, customers should ensure that the device does not experience serious marks or scratches since the special coating only repairs minor scratches.
- 13-MP rear camera and 2.1 MP front camera
The phone offers a host of screen modes and other camera features which result in dynamic shots. However, there’s no image stabilization in the smartphone. This reduces the quality of photos in low light conditions.
- 3,500 mAh embedded battery
Like the display, the battery is curved.  However, the phone’s curves in no way diminish performance. The phone has a unique and powerful battery that ensures convenient use for hours on end. When compared with other phones, the G Flex battery lasts even longer than the Galaxy Note 2 and G2.
- 177 grams
With a 6-inch display, The LG G Flex is undoubtedly large. However, it weights significantly less than phones of a similar size. For instance, the Lumia 1520 and HTC One Max weigh more than an ounce over G Flex’s 6.24 ounces.
Android 4.2 or Jelly Bean
Those who want phones with the latest technology operating system (OS) may be disappointed with Flex’s Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. After all, flagship phones like the Nexus 5 currently run Android 4.4 (Kitkat). LG will no doubt upgrade the G Flex’s OS though the date when this will occur is yet to be revealed.
What are the major benefits of the device?
According to LG, G Flex offers several advantages to its users due to its unique design. Firstly, this curved and flexible phone offers an improved viewing experience. This is due to the fact that the shape of the phone mimics the theatre experience.
Secondly, the G Flex’s “flexible†nature allows customers to manipulate the shape and feel of the device without worrying about physical damage which would occur in otherwise inflexible phones. The phone is also able to withstand pressure and is therefore less fragile that other handsets.
Thirdly, the audio experience while calling is also improved based on the following reasons:
- The G Flex’s curved device is curve towards you face. This puts the microphone in a better position since it is positioned nearer to your mouth than it would be if the phone was flat.
- The phone features a speaker on the back. The curved design allows the speaker to more fully project your voice.
Fourthly, the curved nature of G Flex also results in an improved grip since our hands are also curved. However, note that this LG phone is larger than many of its counterparts. Due to its size, it may prove to be uncomfortable in the hands of those who are not accustomed to larger phones.
How much will the LG G Flex cost?
AT&T is yet to disclose G Flex’s price tag. However, if its cost in other countries is any indication, LG’s curved flagship phone may put a dent in your pocket. Those who want to know the price will need to visit the AT&T G Flex site in the upcoming weeks.
How can I access this device?
According to AT&T’s press release, G Flex will be available to its customers in the first quarter of 2014. Thus, those who are interested in the device will be able to access it in a few months time. The latest information on the device as well as other LG devices is accessible if customers request notification. This can be done by simply submitting your email on the AT&T G Flex site.
AT&T’s social media sites offer another option to customers who want instant access to the latest news. Visit the Twitter or Facebook for details regarding your service provider’s products and deals.
The LG G Flex is an innovative smartphone that offers several advantageous features. What’s incredible about the device is that LG creates a curved and flexible phone without compromising the phone’s performance.
