LG G flex 6 inch curved smartphone
You'll start your new year with a curved smartphone, yeah curved that can be bent and it heals itself. Future.... ?
LG has announced the launch of its new curved-screen smartphone LG G Flex in India and it'll be available around Feb.2014 in the stores. This will be the first curved smartphone to be released in the country.
G Flex has a big 6-inch display that curves from the top to bottom, making it easier to hold and offer a better video viewing experience. It also has a self-healing rear panel, world's first.
Both the features are new for the Indian Market and certainly exciting.
Design
The new smartphone fits very snugly into the palm, much better than the conventionally designed handsets and it also feels more comfortable when held against the ear to make calls. Another benefit of curved screen is there's no lost of colour at any angle while watching videos on the smarty because the screen is at equal distance from the eyes at all points.
The phone has got a subtle curve and will look like any other phone if not seen closely. Amazing thing : you can even bend the smartphone just a little by applying some force. This is because the screen is made up of plastic unlike other phones' glass screen. Disadvantage : No gorilla glass protection, obviously you can't bend the Gorilla. Just like LG G2, the new G Flex has volume and lock keys on the back, just below the camera.
Display
The phone comes with a 6inch 720p HD OLED display panel. Though 720p seems to be outdated these days but viewing experience is still good. The display features Real RGB technology to provide all three sub-pixels in one pixel, thereby making it "brighter and more precise."
Self-Healing Back panel
Now this is something completely new! The world's first phone with a self-healing back panel, that means even if you put some minor scratches on the back, it'll be self healed within minutes and the phone will regain its glossy look. Please don't test this feature with a screw-diver or knife to whet your appetite, LG said only minor scratches will be healed. Still, it is an amazing feature.
Camera
G Flex sports a good quality 13MP rear camera on the back with autofocus and LED flash, works good even in low-light conditions with neligible noise. On the front, the phone's got a 2.1MP camera for video calls at 30fps.
Other features
With much cleaner interface and LG's Optimus UI layered on android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the animations and effect are better than other LG products. Under the hood there is a 2.2GHz quad-core snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM, so there won't be any difficulty in speed. Connectivity options in the phone include 2G, 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 3.0 and NFC (whoooh..) The phone can store 32GB of your memories internally and does not support external storage. The phone packs a 3500 mAh Li-Po non-removable battery.
New features in the phone are user interface features, such as QTheater for quick access to photos, videos and YouTube from the lock screen; Dual Window for multitasking with two windows; Swing Lockscreen for a dynamic lockscreen image based on the way the phone's held; as well as three Rear Key LED indicators - Face Detection, Camera Timer and Urgent Call Alert.
