What things to expect on LG G Flex:
User-Centered Technologies
Among the several new technologies, the LG G Flex is the first smartphone to apply a “Self Healing” coating on the back cover. The elastic coating has the ability to recover from the daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive, keeping the G Flex looking newer longer.
UX features, such as KnockON, Guest Mode and Plug & Pop, which were positively received when first introduced in the LG G2, can also found in the LG G Flex. The LG G Flex also includes an array of new UX features:
QTheater gives users quick access to photos, videos and YouTube right from the lock screen. By touching the screen and dragging outward along the curved surface with both fingers, the apps appear with the effect of theater curtains being drawn.
Dual Window divides the wide 6-inch screen into two separate windows for more effective multitasking.
Swing Lockscreen alters the image on the lockscreen depending on how the G Flex is held.
Face Detection Indicator displays the LED on the Rear Key in green to confirm status of face detection and focus.
Camera Timer flashes the Rear Key LED to indicate that the countdown has begun.
Urgent Call Alert flashes the LED on the Rear Key in red when several consecutive calls from the same person go unanswered.
The ultra-thin, ultra-light flexible POLED display and curved OLED panel are built on plastic substrates instead of glass, giving LG G Flex its unique shape and durability. The POLED display is brighter and more precise thanks to the application of Real RGB, which contains all three sub-pixels — red, green and blue — in one pixel. Despite its thin form, the LG G Flex battery has a capacity of 3,500mAh, enough power for more than a full day of use. (Kindly check the specs below for more details)
Release/ Availability / Price: The LG Flex will be available in Korea starting in November through all three major local carriers. Availability in additional markets will be announced thereafter. Estimated price cost 1.0 million won or $942 US Dollar.
