LG G Flex 2, the second bullet of LG's flexible screen, was officially released at CES 2015. This mobile phone uses a 5.5 inch flexible OLED screen. At present, foreign websites have brought us fresh hands-on reviews. Let's take a look at this "curved second generation" style.
Why bend? Dr. Ramchan Woo, LG's designer, said that it is more beautiful because it is bent.
When LG previously released G Flex, The biggest complaint LG got was not the problem with the curved surface, but the size of the screen. 6 inches was too big and strange for a mobile phone, so G Flex 2, as an upgraded product, reduced the size of the screen to 5.5 inches, while the 720p resolution was upgraded to 1080p, and the arc of the body was redesigned, making the bending of G Flex 2 more elegant.
Another upgrade of G Flex 2 is LG's self-healing shell. The new shell can self repair scratches and wear marks within 10 seconds. The body has two colors, red and silver. The back cover is naturally polished plastic. In terms of pricing, The price of G Flex 2 will be higher than that of LG G3, which undoubtedly makes G Flex 2 a truly high-end phone. At least this is the same as the previous generation of G Flex. The biggest difference is that G Flex 2 is really a great phone.
G Flex 2 also has better protection against falls than G Flex. The designer of G Flex 2 said that users can even sit on the G Flex 2 without any problems. The gorilla glass 3 panel on the front has also undergone special chemical treatment, making the strength 20% higher than the original. LG also specially strengthened the edge strength of the screen glass to make up for the lack of edge strength.
G Flex 2 has an excellent screen look and feel. To be honest, it is a very correct choice for G Flex 2 not to use the 2K screen. The 1080p screen can already provide enough delicacy, and OLED colors are also very vivid. LG also adds a slide view notification function to G Flex 2, allowing users to view notifications without lighting the whole screen.
Although the back cover can be removed, the battery cannot be replaced.
In terms of specific specifications, G Flex 2 uses the Snapdragon 810 processor, with a maximum frequency of 2GHz, and is equipped with 2GB or 3GB LPDDR4 memory. Users can choose 16GB memory or 32GB memory version, which can expand memory. The camera maintains the same specifications as G3, but LG has improved its software and hardware, and also has laser focusing, optical anti shake and dual color temperature fill lights, However, the battery capacity has been downgraded from 3500 mAh to 3000 mAh from the previous G Flex. However, the battery is not removable, and the system is naturally the latest Android 5.0.1.
However, the most regrettable thing is that the front camera is only 2 million pixels, which is not as good as a high-end mobile phone should be.
In general, the design and materials of G Flex 2 make G Flex 2 an excellent smart phone. LG has also decided to carry forward the design of flexible screen, and its proud technology has also been included in this phone. Maybe this phone is still full of dazzling technology, but at least G Flex 2 is a very successful dazzling technology.
This mobile phone will be launched in the Korean market at the end of this month, and other markets will also be launched soon after that. Maybe the G Flex 2 is not the real flagship of LG in terms of specifications this year, but it is also the existence of mobile phones like G Flex 2 that makes the high-end mobile phone market more colorful.
