AT&T customers can pre-order the LG G Flex starting today, for $299.99 with a signed two-year pact. Off-contract, the phone is priced at $694.99. The device will ship on February 4th. With a 6 inch curved display, the LG G Flex has a unique design. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Round, which features a horizontal curve, LG's handset features a vertical curve. In addition, there is the self-healing back cover which automatically repairs light scratches.
Similar to the LG G2, the volume rocker and power controls are on the back of the phone. LG decided to use a 720 x 1280 resolution on the 6 inch screen which works out to a rather disappointing 245ppi. These days, high end models usually have a pixel density in the 320ppi to 400+ppi range. And with QHD screens expected to take the stage this year, we should see the 500ppi barrier shattered.
Other than the screen, the rest of the specs seem top notch including the quad-core 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU and the 2GB of RAM on board. 32GB of native storage is included although there is no microSD slot on the phone. A 13MP snapper is on back with a 2.1MP camera on front. A massive 3500mAh battery powers the huge screen and Android 4.2.2 is pre-installed.
