The editors didn't like
Only a 720p screen
Expensive
A bit awkward to use one-handed
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
The volu

Before we got our hands on the LG G Flex we couldn't see the benefit of owning a phone with a curved display. However, during our brief time with the device on the CES show floor in Las Vegas, LG managed to convince us otherwise. Sure, there's still no...
Abstract: I just finished watching the Steve Jobs biopic movie starring Ashton Kutcher. Very emotionally brutal but incomplete coverage of his life story on how he believed in designing products that is cool at no expense on other people's opinions.What's that got...
Smartphones don't have to be flat. They don't have to be rigid either. At least that's what LG wants us to believe, and the G Flex is supposed to be the living proof of this radical concept. Along with Samsung's Galaxy Round, the LG G Flex is one of the ...
Abstract: On one side of the ring, we have the LG G Flex, a marvel of a device that showcases some new and innovative design qualities we haven’t seen commercialized on a large scale. Meanwhile there’s the Nokia Lumia 1520, the biggest and most high spec’d Windo...
Abstract: We recently had some good one-on-one time with both the LG G Flex and Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but there are still several other prized phablets in the space that needs to get a proper comparison against the intriguing curve designed smartphone. Next up ...
Abstract: Just when we were beginning to wonder there for a moment, out comes LG’s “phablet” for 2013 – the strange and unique looking LG G Flex. Naturally, it’s a peculiar thing out in the space right that’s hoping to be a viable competitor against the arguable...
The G Flex is an interesting smartphone science experiment, but it's also little more than that. It's mostly identical to the G2 in terms of software, which rather quickly made it less than easy to love for me.But it's the oddly underperforming display...

LG is out taking risks and trying new things, KnockOn is still cool, but it's mandatory now that the buttons are so far out of reach, The color changing system bar looks great, when it works
The impossible-to-reach rear buttons do not work on a device this big, The battery life is terrible considering the amount of juice available, All of LG's bundled software and skins are bad, The usual terrible plastic back—it deforms a little more than no
Does the world need a curved phone? LG may be gung-ho about the potential of flexible displays in the future, but today the G Flex feels more like a gimmick in many ways – albeit a gimmick with no small degree of appeal – rather than a legitimate turn...
Unique curve design, Selfhealing properties, Very durable & resilient, Great Call Quality
Splotchy distortion with the display, Underwhelming still image capture quality, Expensive outright cost
Curved phones are new, right? Well, history tells us otherwise, seeing we’ve seen it done with the Google Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Although it’s still incorporating a curved design, the LG G Flex actually takes a totally different approach – o...
