The innovators at LG have launched the first-ever curved phone called the G Flex, named after its visible features.
This curved phone can flatten out if you need it to then bounce back into shape. It features a 6-inch HD display along with a host of other outstanding traits, like a 13 megapixel camera and the 1280 x 720 resolution. The best factor would have to be the self-healing back panel. If you often find your phone with scratches or scuffed up due to negligence or keys in your pocket, the self-healing system will be your best friend -- just try not to rack your brain over how a phone can possibly heal itself like that. The G Flex runs on Android (Jelly Bean) and features a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor chip, which was specifically designed for premium smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs and digital media adapters.
The phone fits naturally in the curve of your hand or against your cheek, so you’ll never have to suffer neck cranes from trying to hold it up with your shoulder. The G Flex is a sleek, compact and flexible creation that’ll shape the future for smartphone models to come.
