Some phone makers have to scramble to combat the wave of people reporting its new models are bending… other manufactures embrace it as a feature! The latter being the case for LG’s latest smartphone, announced at CES 2015, the G Flex 2 – and based on its spec sheet and our hands-on experience, it’s already the best smartphone of 2015.Will it bend?

Aesthetically, the LG G Flex 2 may be quite similar to its predecessor (the original G Flex), but on paper, it’s difficult for two phones to be more different. It’s amazing just how much LG has advanced its technology in a bit over one short year, and it’s equally amazing that the original G Flex manages to beat out the sequel in a few areas as well. Find out about it all in our LG G Flex 2 vs LG G Flex specs comparison chart.There’s only one real win for the first G Flex – the clock speed dip doesn’t really matter, as the core changes make that an issue of ...

We’ve already explored in an initial comparison video what the differences between the LG G Flex 2 and LG G3 are in everyday usability, but what are the cold hard facts? On paper, which is the better phone? That’s what this LG G Flex 2 vs LG G3 specs comparison looks to decide.Unsurprisingly, the newer phone comes out on top, with four spec wins to the G3’s two. But the G3 does earn those two – this isn’t exactly a runaway victory. One of those two G3 victories is the display, and that one’s easy to explain; the G Flex 2 has to sacrifice display ...

LG has a new phone out, the G Flex 2. But does that mean the G3 is no longer LG’s powerhouse flagship? We put a G3 next to the G Flex 2, and let them battle it out at CES 2015 for an initial comparison. Our LG G Flex 2 vs LG G3 video (available under this text) includes our first thoughts on how the two stack up, and more.Even with the design, the influence of the G3 on the G Flex 2 is distinct. As Michael Fisher puts it, it’s almost as if someone sat on the G3 for long enough, it’d become a G Flex 2. The similarities don’t end there, either – they continue ...

Do better ergonomics, improved internals, and cleaner software translate really into a better phone? That’s the question we had when going hands-on with the LG G Flex 2 and original G Flex side-by-side, two of a very select group of curvaceous smartphones. We’ve pitted the two together in an impromptu comparison at CES in Las Vegas for a LG G Flex 2 vs LG G Flex video, embedded down below for your viewing pleasure.We found that the first-gen G Flex was a great phone with an even better vision, but also that it had many shortcomings that hindered it when compared to its ...

When LG released the original G Flex way back in 2013, we immediately dubbed it “the smartphone of the future” for its unique curve.

Here’s the latest LG G Flex 2 official information from LG.First, let’s go ahead and address the elephant in the room: the curve. LG claims it’s made the phone more ergonomic ...

When LG first announced the G Flex way back in 2013, the buzz was all around one thing: the curved display.

Fortunately, we found plenty to pique our interest in our LG G Flex 2 hands-on (as detailed in the below first impressions video).Everything about the G Flex 2 screams refinement, both when ...

We already know what to expect from LG at CES 2015, thanks to the company not being secretive about the G Flex 2, and some eagle eyed folks who pictured the posters with the device outline, branding, and all. However, a special event has not yet happened to officially announce the phone, but an official press release, together with official press renders, have allegedly leaked, detailing the G Flex 2.The purported press release talks about a curved phone with a slightly smaller screen than its predecessor, at ...

We’re looking forward to a lot of new hardware at CES 2015 next week, and one that’s been sounding more likely than some to make an appearance has been LG’s second-gen G Flex. Rumors about such a device date back well over a year, but much of what’s been said has lacked a lot of detail. Sure, we’ve heard some claims, like how the handset would feature a mysterious new feature (one more intriguing than the self-healing plastic of the first G Flex), or

It’s been over a year now since LG introduced its curved-screen G Flex Android, and while it certainly wasn’t a phone for everyone, we found ourselves quite taken with it. In the months since we’ve been on the lookout for information about a possible second-generation effort, and while some rumors suggested the phone wouldn’t launch until February 2015, others claimed that

LG‘s G Flex did what no other OEM seemed bold enough to do: make a curved smartphone – and make it flexible! If that weren’t enough, the company managed to include (perhaps out of necessity) a “self-healing” feature. Minor (and even “more than minor”) scratches on the back would simply fade and disappear over time. Outside of a Terminator movie, it doesn’t get much cooler than tech like that!It’s been almost a year since the first-generation G Flex was ...
