The LG G Flex 2 revealed in Details

It looks like the LG G Flex 2's news were leaked prior to its official public announcement. For the time being, we can say that these news are very detailed and are in-line with our expectations. But, no need to rush, so keep it cool !

The LG G Flex 2 is the first known smartphone to have the fresh out of the oven Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit processor, also the G Flex 2 has the self-healing back panel wizardry. Otherwise, the G Flex 2 OS will be the Android 5.0 Lollipop and it combines the G Flex's dynamic curves with the LG G3's simple and practical style. 

The G Flex 2 is 5.5-inch 1080p display with higher resolution and pixel density than the original's 6-inch, 720p panel. The technology at play is the same, LG's plastic OLED as seen in the LG G Watch R, but it is covered with glass that's been given a special treatment by LG's chemists, as a result, there is 20% improvement in toughness. 

The self-healing back we mentioned has seen a dramatic boost in speed. The one on the original G Flex took about three minutes to heal, while this one restores itself in 10 seconds at room temperature.

In addition, LG introduces three new gesture controls :
Gesture shot, the LG G3's charming selfie-taking hand gesture, makes a comeback. 

Gesture View is an easy move for checking the last photo immediately after taking it.

Glance View shows the time, recent messages, missed calls and notifications on the display by swiping down on it while it's off.

It is said also that LG G Flex 2's camera sees an improvement as well. It is equipped with a 13MP OIS cam with laser auto-focus and the front camera is just a 2.1MP unit, which is a little bit disappointing.

The handset runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 processor, a 2.0GHz 64-bit octa-core monster of a CPU. It is paired with 2GB of fast DDR4 RAM. There are 16 or 32GB of expandable on-board storage. The battery unit is of 3000mAh capacity with fast charge support (charges to 50% in 40 minutes). 

The G Flex 2 offers 4G / LTE / HSPA+ 21/42 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth Smart Ready (Apt-X) 4.1, NFC, SlimPort, A-GPS / Glonass, and USB 2.0. 

All of this fits into a package sized 5.87 x 2.96 x 0.27in (at the thinnest spot) - 0.37 (at the thickest spot) (149.1 x 75.3 x 7.1 - 9.4mm).

The LG G Flex 2 will be available in the South Korean market in the end of January, with a global launch set to follow soon after. It will be available in two colors :  Platinum Silver and Flamenco Red. We can say that the LG G Flex 2 is a very good looking smartphone that makes us wonder about the upcoming LG G4 !
