The phone doesn’t look spectacular at all in paper considering its price tag of €229 , it is expected to roll out this March. We can only now wait to see its fate.

LG
Korean electronic giant, LG today unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the G Flex 2. The new LG G Flex 2 is more curvier than its predecessor and is the highlight of the day 1 of Consumer Electronic Show 2015 (January 6-9). Note that we had reported about LG G Flex 2 way back in May last year itself.
The LG G Flex is said to be curvier, faster, and has an improved back panel that heals faster (from scratches) than its predecessor, the G Flex. The phone has a P-OLED display with full HD Resolution (older one has HD resolution). LG has also decreased the screen size to 5.5 inch from 6 inch.
The screen of Flex 2 has LG’s own protective glass that is said to be 20 per cent more durable than the Corning Gorill Glass 3. Like the earlier version, the Flex 2 has also a healing back cover that heals the scratches. This time, the healing time is said to be just 10 seconds at room temperature from earlier 3 minutes.
Another highlight of the Flex 2 is its curved body. “The screen is curved to a 700mm radius, which makes for an “immersive” experience (says LG) and brings the mic closer to your mouth. The back is curved to 650mm so it’s easier to handle and fit in the pocket,” according to GSMarena.
Besides, the LG G Flex 2 comes with faster Snapdragon 810 processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, and 2 GB RAM. It will come in 16 and 32 GB in-built storage variants and both the versions will have a micro SD card slot.
The LG G Flex 2 is said to have a 13 megapixel rear camera with OIS+ (Optical Image Stabilisation) and Laser Auto Focus technology as the LG G3. There are two LED flash lights in its rear panel as well while a 2.1 megapixel camera is in its front. Ofcourse, it comes with 4G LTE connectivity besides the usual WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1, and Micro USB port. Also it has an appropriate 3000 mAh battery with FastCharge facility.
The LG G Flex 2 comes in silver and red colours and is said to hit the Korean market by the end of this month. Ofcourse it is in all likelihood will be launched in India soon but at a hefty price point for sure. By the way, the older LG G Flex is still available in India for the best price of Rs 37,345.
