Hasta La Gadget!

There aren’t a lot of smartphones out there right now that have flexible displays, the trend hasn’t caught on yet. LG has already announced its contender, the “self-healing” G Flex, but it is yet to be released globally. It was initially believed that LG might only launch the smartphone in select markets in Asia and Europe, but the company did hint recently that it is working on plans for a global launch. Trusted Twitter leaker @evleaks “confirmed” through his usual medium that the LG G Flex will be making its way stateside, and that it will be offered by three major national carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.

No release dates or pricing information has been provided as yet. Verizon is missing from the list, and it is not known right now if the carrier will offer the device later than its rivals or if it won’t carry it at all. The G Flex packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood which is aided by 2GB of RAM. It has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 3,500mAh battery. The defining feature has to be the curved 6 inch 720p AMOLED display. That’s not all, the smartphone also has “self-healing” powers, check out this video to see what they really are.

Earlier this week LG announced its much awaited smartphone with a curved display, called LG G Flex. Prior to the announcement, the device had been seen in a number of leaks. LG announced this smartphone a few days after Samsung came out with its very own curved device, the Galaxy Round. It appears that LG intends to launch its device with much fanfare, local reports coming in from Korean media claim that a launch event has been scheduled on November 5th and that invites have already been sent out.

LG is yet to reveal the release plans for G Flex, as per reports, the smartphone will first go on sale in the local market by mid-November. Hopefully, at the event, LG will detail in how many markets it intends to release the G Flex and for what price. Samsung’s Galaxy Round is rumored to be a prototype of sorts, it is believed that the Round will be released in extremely limited quantity even in South Korea, but Samsung hasn’t confirmed this as yet. The LG G Flex has a 6 inch 720p curved display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quadcore processor with 2GB RAM, 32GB onboard storage, 13MP rear camera, LTE-A, 3,500mAh battery and Android 4.2.2. It also has “self-healing powers,” basically a special film at the back that will be able to heal scratches within minutes.

Samsung might be first off the blocks with their Samsung Galaxy Round that sports a curved display, but this does not mean that they are the only ones in the market with such a device. Well, technically they are, but there are others out there who will have their turn under the spotlight – such as LG. Here we are with yet another photo of the LG G Flex, spotted with a curved display to boot.

Of course, LG did not confirm officially that this will be their first curved-screened smartphone with the name G Flex, but it ought to hit the market sometime later this November. Until the day that happens, this particular handset that will run on the Android Jelly Bean operating system, will remain almost surreal, and we will just have to make do with the handset having been showcased in Argentina on Telefe, which is a television network that is owned by Telefónica. Similar to the LG G2 in this particular aspect, the G Flex would feature buttons that are located on the rear case near the 13-megapixel camera, and chances are, it will also arrive with a fingerprint sensor to help it keep up with the times.

So, we did bring you news earlier this month that LG Display has started to mass produce the world’s first flexible OLED displays for smartphones and other kinds of compatible mobile devices. It does seem as though Samsung did beat them to the punch somewhat with the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Round smartphone that comes with a curved display. Well, here we are with some renders of what could very well be the upcoming LG G Flex, and from what we can see, this rendered image happens to be curved in a different manner compared to the Samsung Galaxy Round.

I guess the mass production of flexible OLED displays by LG Display is going on a whole lot better than expected, and from what we can tell, the LG G Flex should arrive with a 6” flexible screen, and it sure as heck ought to arrive with a curved battery that was showcased by LG not too far back. What other kinds of options should we expect to see in the LG G Flex? Perhaps Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, LTE connectivity, a quad-core processor as well as a high end rear camera, which should keep it in line with other flagship devices. As usual, having the required amount of patience will pay off eventually when it comes to the final rendition of the LG G Flex.
