LG G Flex is currently one of the pioneers in curved smartphones. So, what makes it standout from the competition or specifically the Samsung Galaxy Round? LG showcased them just in time before the launch.
G Flex’s 6″ 720p P-OLED display is curved on the y-axis oppose to Samsung Galaxy Round. That makes the device more usable in both landscape and portrait orientation. Thus, it mimics a giant silver screen like IMAX. From what it seems, it offers a better viewing experience. There’s a unique dynamic wallpaper too that takes advantage when it portrait.

From the screen to body. LG G Flex offers a cool (somewhat skeptical) self-healing back-cover that “heals” scratches off. It might be too good to be true but basing from the video by LG, it actually works! Not like Wolverine though, but a 3-minute healing time is better than seeing those nasty scratches forever.

LG also announced some accessories to go with their new flexing phone. The familiar Quick Window flip cover that is virtually the same as G2’s except for the curve, a “vest” for protecting the flex of the phone and a rather handy 16GB OTG USB that has a full size and a micro port for easy transfer. No news on availability and pricing for the accessories yet.
LG will be releasing the G Flex tomorrow, November 12 exclusively in South Korea. International release might soon be on the way. Perhaps they are just waiting for the world to be ready for it.

Self healing is nice. I think they should invent self-charging too !
abuzalzal says:
Just curious, what’s a stupid Android hater doing in an Android-related article here?
wew says:
@abuzalzal you ask yourself, what are you doing in bob freking’s articles even though you’re his hater?
Daniel says:
I love it too! The self healing feature is one of the competitive advantages of LG over the other smartphones. Amazing!
fanatic says:
galing nung mga features!
Daniel Escasa says:
A curved phone is cool and all that, but does it make it any better, or is it “better” just because it’s curved? I mean, does it solve any real problem? And is the self-healing dependent on the curve? I think not, so what for?
Don’t get me wrong, I like the LG phones, and still use my P500. When I next upgrade that, LG will be on my shortlist. But what’s the rationale for a curved phone, other than the cool factor?
TacticalNinja says:
Personally I think the curved design makes it “easier” to reach the top and bottom of the screen. I’m not sure what made you think that the “self-healing” feature is dependent on the curved design. It is probably a rubber-like material.
wew says:
@Daniel Escasa yes it’s better because it’s curve… well in some aspects only. try to read the article again, it says that it gives you better viewing experience. but if you will ask if there’s a significant increase in convenience when you use that phone, not that much that’s why you say people will not have better experience when they use this phone.
Daniel Morial says:
Like in a cinema, some screens are concave to embrace the audience visually. It also makes your viewing experience more comfortable and allows the light to be equally distributed (not in the case of an LCD panel). As for the self-healing feature, I think the curve screen has nothing to with it. It could be some sort of coating on top of the chassis.
Jell says:
I understand your perception about this curved smartphone, but I believe that this “curve” can really do a lot of things that other smartphones could not do. One can really determine the ease of usage in this curved smartphone.
fanatic says:
well i think its because our body structure is somewhat curvy..
FanBoy says:
A curved phone is cool and all that, but does it make it any better, or is it “better” just because it’s curved? – In some aspects, yes, it makes a phone better. Read on.
I mean, does it solve any real problem? – Yes, in a way. The curve design on the LG follows the contour of the human face – specifically the side. When you’re talking (not using a headset), there are times when you need to place the phone’s mic directly in front of your mouth and in some cases, the loud speakers are turned on (thus, conversation privacy is lost). With the LG’s curved design, this (LG hoping) can be eliminated.
But what’s the rationale for a curved phone, other than the cool factor? – One is viewing angles, to limit that is. Screens’ of today’s smart phones are so clear that you can clearly read text from about any angle. The curved design, again LG’s curved design, will allow privacy of some sort. When you’re in a train or public transportation, the person sitting beside you will have some sort of difficulty reading what you’re reading – because of the curved design.
Daniel Escasa says:
@Fanboy, thanks for the explanation. That’s certainly more specific that “a better viewing experience”. Maybe you should write copy for LG :)
@TacticalNinja, what made you think I connected self-healing with the curve?

And is the self-healing dependent on the curve? I think not, so what for?
