BEST REVIEW LG G FLEX

Design
The practically crescent-shaped design of the 6-inch LG G Flex is quickly the most unique of any smartphone. Lay the Flex on its face, press down on its center and-- real to its name-- the phone will bend till it's entirely flat.

LG G Flex DesignThe curved design likewise serves a dual function of making the Flex curve to your face when you speak, comparable to the means an old landline would. We discovered it tough to stretch our thumb throughout the display, however the curved Flex feels more workable in the hand than the flat 5.9-inch HTC One Maximum and 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega.

Like LG's G2, the Flex's power and volume buttons are found on its back panel. For the G Flex, LG developed an LED into the Back Secret's power button, which lights up when you miss out on a call or take a selfie.

Above the Back Main is the Flex's 13-megapixel video camera, which is surrounded by its flash on its right side and the phone's IR blaster on the. At the bottom of the rear panel is the Flex's speaker. On the handset's left side is its SIM card slot, while its bottom edge is the home of its microUSB port and 3.5 mm headset jack.

The Flex is a 6-inch phablet, its curved design makes it feel smaller sized than it is. Determining 6.3 x 3.2 x 0.31-0.34 inches and weighing 6.2 ounces, the G Flex is smaller sized and lighter than both the 5.9-inch HTC One Maximum, which determines 6.5 x 3.2 x 0.41 inches and weighs 7.7 ounces, and the 6-inch Nokia Lumia 1520, which determines 6.4 x 3.4 x 0.32 inches and weighs 7.3 ounces.

Samsung's hulking 6.3-inch Galaxy Mega is available in at 6.6 x 3.5 x 0.31 inches and 7.1 ounces. Obviously, Samsung's 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 undercuts the G Flex at 5.9 x 3.1 x 0.3 inches and 5.9 ounces.

Self-Healing
LG G Flex Scratch BackIt's not simply the curved framework that makes the Flex's design special. It's likewise the only handset in the world to sport an unique elastic "self-healing" rear panel. It's essentially the Wolverine of smartphones.

Covered with a resin, comparable in idea to exactly what you 'd discover on an automobile's outside, the rear panel can be scratched with anything varying from a trick to a wire brush, and fix itself. The "recovery" is really the elastic resin pressing back on a scratch, requiring the panel to restore its initial type.

The procedure is temperature-dependent, so the hotter the phone is, the more rapidly it will recover. Scratch the phone deep enough, and you'll cut right with the base, rendering the safety layer pointless.

Display
LG G Flex DisplayDespite its 6-inch size, the G Flex's plastic OLED display is the both the thinnest and lightest OLED discovered on any smartphone. Many high-end phablets, consisting of the Lumia 1520, HTC One Maximum and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 sport 1080p displays, LG decided for a 720p display for the G Flex.

That's not to state the G Flex's display is a slouch. While viewing a trailer for "X-Men: Days of Future Past," the G Flex's display provided more dynamic colors and much deeper blacks than the Lumia and One Maximum.

The Flex owes its lovely colors to LG's Genuine Stripe display innovation, which makes each blue, red and green pixel the exact same size. No trouble, the Flex lets you alternate in between 3 contrast alternatives: Requirement, Vivid and Natural.

Unsurprisingly, the G Flex's curved display is likewise more enjoyable to see films on than a flat phone, as it provides a much better sense of depth. It resembles exactly what you would see on a curved display TELEVISION.

LG declares that seeing videos on the Flex in panorama mode far-off of 1 foot provides an equivalent viewing experience to seeing a film on a 55-inch TELEVISION at 10 feet away. And while we're not going to go that far-- it is just a smartphone, after all-- we did take pleasure in seeing video on it beyond what its flat display rivals.

At 422 lux (317 nits), the G Flex's display is better than the smartphone classification average of 400 lux, however dimmer than the HTC One Maximum's 441 lux display. The Galaxy Note 3 provides the brightest display in this course at 539 lux.

KnockOn
Like LG's G2, the G Flex comes with the business's KnockOn, a function that lets you wake the phone or put it to sleep with 2 fast taps to the display. LG states the function is implied to be utilized when you desire to examine your phone without selecting it up off of your desk.

Audio
LG geared up the G Flex with a single speaker on the curved part of the handset's rear panel. The business states the positioning triggers sound to bounce off of the surface area the phone is leaning on, producing much better audio quality than a flat phone.

We heard comparable problems while listening to Coheed and Cambria's "Moms of Guy," with vocals coming with flat, particularly with the Flex resting on its back. The HTC One Maximum, with its BoomSound speakers, seemed far much better, offering a healthy quantity of bass and much more even audio.

The Flex's speakers are incredibly loud if absolutely nothing else. At 83 decibels, the handset blasts out audio louder than the smartphone classification average of 80 dB.

User interface
LG G Flex Lock ScreenThe G Flex's user interface is almost a twin of the LG G2's, with a couple of brand-new exceptions. You get a skinned variation of Google's Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean that brings LG's own functions to the OS. Just like the G2, the Flex's lock display provides to 5 adjustable app faster ways, though our evaluation system didn't had any active.

The Flex's lock display includes an unique style called Swing Lock Display. As you rock the Flex forward and backwards in your hand, the display will roll from a balloon-filled sky at the top to an ocean at the bottom. Swipe along the display and the ocean will ripple.

Swiping from delegated right along the top of the lock display brings you to a widgets display, where you can include, properly enough, any variety of widgets, including your calendar and QRemote. Swiping from right to provides you fast access to the Flex's video camera app.

LG offers you 5 house displays to individualize with app faster ways and widgets, though you can amount to 7 displays. The major house display provides a time and weather condition widget, in addition to a number of app faster ways. Along the really bottom of the display are 5 ever-present faster ways for the Phone, Contacts, Web and Messaging apps, in addition to the Apps drawer.

LG G Flex NotificationsThe alert menu supplies your most current messages and updates as well as 19 adjustable fast setups. Below those are sliders for the Flex's display brightness and volume.

QSlide & Slide Aside
LG G FlexLike the G2 and Optimus G Pro prior to it, the Flex consists of LG's slick QSlide Apps. Providing 11 apps in total amount, QSlide lets you open up to 2 windows apps at the exact same time.

LG G Slide Slide AsideThe G Flex likewise gets LG's Slide Aside include. Debuted on the G2, Slide Aside lets you three-finger swipe up to 3 open apps towards the left side of the display, where they will remain docked and out of sight up until you desire to utilize them once more.

Dual Window
LG G SlideNew to the G Flex is LG's Dual Window Mode. Like Samsung's Multi Window Mode, Dual Window lets you utilize 2 apps at the same time by splitting the Flex's display. Easily accessible by long-pressing the Back button from the Flex's house display, Dual Window provides to 13 apps consisting of Chrome, YouTube, Hangouts, Gmail, Gallery and others.

To utilize the function, you drag among the offered apps to the top of the display and the various other to the bottom. Numerous of the apps can likewise communicate with each various other. If you have the Messaging or e-mail app open and Gallery, you can really drag images straight from the Gallery into a message.

QuickRemote
LG G Flex QRemoteLike the LG Optimus G Pro and LG G2, the G Flex comes with an IR blaster and QuickRemote app that turn your handset into a remote control for your whole home entertainment. The setup procedure is incredibly easy when you pick the gadget you 'd such as to regulate with your phone.

Simply pick the producer, and LG cares for the rest. LG will keep offering you brand-new remote controls till one works properly if the power button on the virtual remote control does not work at first. When matching the LG G2 with a Samsung TELEVISION in our home, the Quick Remote app discovered a match on the first shot.

While LG provides an outstanding variety of producers from which to select, we want the Quick Remote app included better functions, like those on HTC and Samsung handsets. The Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One supply complete program guides and a complete video establishment, whereas LG's app offers bit even more than a set of virtual buttons.

Battery Life
LG G Flex Angle ViewTo match its curved design, the G Flex gets the first curved battery discovered in a smartphone. On the LAPTOP COMPUTER Battery Test, which includes constant Internet browsing over the phone's information relationship with the display brightness readied to 40 percent, the G Flex's large 3,500 mAh battery lasted an excellent 10 hours and 57 minutes.

Given that the G Flex isn't really yet offered in the UNITED STATE, we examined device an Oriental variation of the handset. That stated, we anticipate to see remarkable outcomes when the G Flex comes to a UNITED STATE provider with LTE protection.

Judgment
LG G Flex OutroWith its curved design, versatile framework and self-healing rear panel, the LG G Flex seems like the future of smartphones today. We likewise enjoy the quick Snapdragon 800 processor and LG's brand-new Dual Window multitasking function, even if it copies Samsung's Multi Window software application. The feature-rich and sharp 13-MP cam is yet an additional plus, providing a little much better image quality than the Galaxy Note 3.

On the various other hand, while the Flex's display provides rich colors and exceptional seeing angles, it has a reasonably reduced 720p resolution. The audio quality might likewise be much better. We still do not think LG's Back Primary design is everybody, however a minimum of the buttons are bigger and simpler to target on this phone than the G2.

In general, the G Flex is among the most outstanding smartphones we have actually checked. It could not be readily available in the UNITED STATE simply yet, LG is actively working with providers to bring the Flex to our coasts quickly. Let's hope it does not take long.
