Back to my original questionDoes "different" automatically mean "better"? In the case of the G Flex, the answer turns out to be no. The phone's curved and flexible body is a noteworthy feat of engineering but not terribly meaningful in terms of actu...
Abstract: The one spec that isn't flagship? Display resolution. It's a 720p (1280 x 720) display rather than the usual full HD 1920 x 1080. The technology just isn't there yet to make a full HD flexible display. 720p isn't horrendous, but on a phone with a bigger t...

Hard pass. The main reason for the G Flexs existence seems to be that people dont buy new stuff if you dont make new stuff. At its high price, youre also paying a whole lot for what is essentially a gimmick. I cant imagine carting this around for two...
The LG G Flex is a powerful and interesting smartphone. It has perhaps the most unique form factor available from a smartphone today: a curved, flexible screen and the banana-shaped body to go with it. The shape does absolutely nothing for me. I don't rea...
