Though the G Flex made its debut in October, its sales had been restricted to South Korea only. It is the second smartphone in the world to have a curved screen, next only to Samsung Galaxy Round. This handset has a 6-inch flexible OLED screen that is curved along the horizontal axis. The phone's 3,500mAh battery is also curved.
Though the screen is flexible by itself, the glass casing does not allow it to be bent at will. However, the phone still bends if sufficient pressure is applied on it as the glass film is thin enough to be bent slightly.
The G Flex's curved screen provides th e same viewing experience from 1 feet away that a 55-inch HDTV does from 10 feet, LG claims.
Apart from the curved display, this phone has another unique feature - a self-healing back. LG has used a self-healing technology on the phone's back, which allows it to heal small scruffs and scratches on the rear panel within 5 minutes. This self-healing is due to a molecular substructure coating on top of the phone's back panel and depends a lot on the room temperature; hotter the room, faster the healing. However, deep cuts that pierce through the coating will not be healed.
Key specs of LG G Flex include a 720 display, 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Just like LG G2, the new G Flex has the power key and volume buttons on the back, positioned below a 13MP camera with LED flash.
The LG 55EA9800 curved TV has a 55-inch OLED screen and thickness of just 4.3mm. Instead of the RGB (red, green and blue) pixels that standar d televisions have, this TV features four pixels - red, green, blue and white. It also comes with LG's Clear Speakers, which matches the audio quality of movie theatres. The manufacturer also offers Magic Remote, which has features like Gesture, Pointing, Wheel, Voice and Universal Control.
LG's curved TV is now available in stores at Rs 9,99,000. The company has not revealed the price of G Flex curved smartphone, but has revealed that it will hit the stores in February 2014.
It is rumoured that the successor of LG G Flex, expected to hit the market next year, will have a screen that will bend at 90-degree angle with ease. Samsung has also revealed that it will launch its first phone with a bendable screen next year.
