The editors didn't like

  • Very poor display quality
  • Hard to operate in one hand
  • Mediocre camera
  • It's big enough to bring back memories of the Zack Morris brick phone. The curves would be slightly more forgivable if the phone itself were smaller and less cumbersome. Six inches is just way too big for a phone. Additionally
  • As with the LG G2

  • Display imaging dull in spots
  • Images linger on display

  • Handset slow to wake up from standby mode
  • The G Flex's massive size can be unwieldy

  • There were two reasons we don't have benchmarks on the G Flex, first - I didn't have Internet access at home to download all of the required benchmarks, and to update them all. Second, I only had a week with the handset. I do apologize for the lack of be...

  • The LG G Flex surprised us. We have to admit we came in expecting a gimmick phone, but what we found was a reliable and usable device. The curved screen actually did improve on the experience, even if it was only for comfort and a bit of durability when k...

  • Self Healing back, Flexible when needed, 3,500mAh Battery
  • Screen tends to be a bit hard to read outside, No Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) for the camera, Price
  • Down at brass tacks level, the G Flex brings together a lot of cool, innovative and futuristic technology that you need to get yourself to a Harvey Norman store to experience in person, it's really just that cool.Unfortunately we have a problem, though th...

  • Design is comfortable to hold and carry, Curved screen is amazing for video playback, Powerful 2.26GHz quad-core CPU (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800), 32GB onboard storage
  • Low resolution for screen size (1280x720 at 6in, 245ppi), No microSD card slot for expansion, Very ‘plastic' look and feel
  • The LG G Flex may end up being somewhat of a gimmick, but does feel comfortable in the hand, and provides a better-than-average video playback experience thanks to its curved display. We hope it makes its way down to Australia and New Zealand...

  • It's a tough decision here. It's the best phone LG has made in a long time, but does improvement alone make a phone worthy of your hard-earned smartphone-buying bucks? At this point, I'd have to say no, but with a small caveat...

  • Hard pass. The main reason for the G Flex's existence seems to be that people don't buy new stuff if you don't make new stuff. At its high price, you're also paying a whole lot for what is essentially a gimmick. I can't imagine carting this around for two...

  • Honestly, this is good phone from LG. On power, specs and battery life alone it's a solid top end option. The problem is – it comes with a hefty price tag. At over $900 US you want to be really sure that you need a curved, flexible, self-healing phone. F...

  • Neat concept; LG overlay is easier to adapt to, especially if you're a new user; High performance from the CPU and memory; Excellent 4G performance; Camera shoots 4K Ultra HD; Decent battery life; Comfier than you might expect;
  • Screen may be curved, but it's also 720p, and not the 1080p we expect out of high-end phones; No expandable memory; Elastic polymer paint won't fix all scratches, so don't expect it to; LG keyboard still isn't great; Big size may not work for everyone;
  • The first curved handset is indeed an interesting beast, bringing a creative solution to a problem that is beginning to plague handsets.While every other manufacturer is leaning hard on protective glass coatings such as what Corning provides and mineral s...
