The main event at CES 2014 was the presentation of the American smartphone with the original form of the body LG G Flex. The device instantly attracted a lot of viewers who wished to purchase it. LG mobile phones have always been a sought-after product, but the Flex series has become a sensation. Compared with other devices, it retains external qualities for a long time, overcoming almost any mechanical damage.
Mobile device design
Perhaps this is the most original flagship smartphone of the last decade. The main objective of the invention of a device with such a housing is the convenience of using it as a handset and watching videos.
The thin plastic case of the product looks very stylish. A 6-inch mobile device LG G Flex weighs 177 g. The original form of the smartphone overshadows the lack of external elegance. The back panel is made of self-healing material. If you accidentally scratch the body of the smartphone, it will “update” itself, but this applies only to minor scratches.
The mobile device has several similarities with the LG G2, for example, the identical buttons "volume control" and "power" on the back.
Despite the external fragility, the product is made with high quality. The classic type of body will appeal to both male and female. Unfortunately, removable panels are not provided, so you have to use a smartphone of a standard color Titan silver. The built-in antenna is invisible, does not bulge and does not cause inconvenience during use.
Display
The screen of the mobile device has an extension of 1280x720 pixels. The mobile device is equipped with an HD OLED screen that supports 16 million colors. Thanks to the body with a bend, the colors become more distinct, and the impression of the IMAX effect is created. The display has the ability to bend. The highlight of the screen is the maximum approximation of the picture to the panoramic. The viewer thinks that events are happening around him. Looking through the LG G Flex reviews, you can see that they mainly concern the display. Users note the relevance of this form. The smartphone holder can use it with gloves, as the display sensor is very sensitive. In addition, the screen is equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer and multi-touch function.
Contrast and brightness are very high quality. These options are important for viewing data in aggressive sunlight. According to studies, the brightness is 311 Cd / m 2 , which is more than enough.
Using the virtual keyboard is very convenient. It is worth using it in a portrait position, because due to the curved shape the text is more comfortable to type in this way. While the user enters the
front camera lens, the screen remains on all the time. This function works more accurately than in Samsung phones.
Firmware LG G Flex
The smartphone runs on Android OS (4.2.2 Jelly Bean). Before you purchase the LG G Flex, reviewing a smartphone on the Internet is quite advisable.

Camera

You can always watch the footage on the computer by installing the player first. In the video, in addition to the image, you will see a map of the area where the location of the car is indicated.
A-GPS system
Sometimes you have to wait a certain time before the first readings of the receiver. In LG G Flex black, the A-GPS system will reduce the duration of a cold start. To get started, the receiver must determine the exact location of the satellites. Assisted-GPS was designed to accelerate the time of the appearance of the first coordinates from the operator’s server, which provides these services. In the absence of this system in your smartphone, a cold start lasts from 0.5 to 2 minutes, in LG G Flex this process takes no more than 20 seconds. It is worth considering that at present the service is in most cases provided free of charge.
