Display suffers outdoors, LG's skin in need of major overhaul, Software support, Lack of OIS
LG's primary focus remains on its display and battery innovations. It was a point Brad made sure to get across in our chat.The G Flex epitomises the manufacturers' continued efforts to be a market leader.It's not without its issues and in no way should th...
The LG G Flex surprised us. We have to admit we came in expecting a gimmick phone, but what we found was a reliable and usable device. The curved screen actually did improve on the experience, even if it was only for comfort and a bit of durability when k...

Self Healing back, Flexible when needed, 3,500mAh Battery
Screen tends to be a bit hard to read outside, No Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) for the camera, Price
Down at brass tacks level, the G Flex brings together a lot of cool, innovative and futuristic technology that you need to get yourself to a Harvey Norman store to experience in person, it's really just that cool.Unfortunately we have a problem, though th...
Design is comfortable to hold and carry, Curved screen is amazing for video playback, Powerful 2.26GHz quad-core CPU (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800), 32GB onboard storage
Low resolution for screen size (1280x720 at 6in, 245ppi), No microSD card slot for expansion, Very ‘plastic' look and feel
The LG G Flex may end up being somewhat of a gimmick, but does feel comfortable in the hand, and provides a better-than-average video playback experience thanks to its curved display. We hope it makes its way down to Australia and New Zealand...

It's a tough decision here. It's the best phone LG has made in a long time, but does improvement alone make a phone worthy of your hard-earned smartphone-buying bucks? At this point, I'd have to say no, but with a small caveat...
Hard pass. The main reason for the G Flex's existence seems to be that people don't buy new stuff if you don't make new stuff. At its high price, you're also paying a whole lot for what is essentially a gimmick. I can't imagine carting this around for two...
Honestly, this is good phone from LG. On power, specs and battery life alone it's a solid top end option. The problem is – it comes with a hefty price tag. At over $900 US you want to be really sure that you need a curved, flexible, self-healing phone. F...
Neat concept; LG overlay is easier to adapt to, especially if you're a new user; High performance from the CPU and memory; Excellent 4G performance; Camera shoots 4K Ultra HD; Decent battery life; Comfier than you might expect;
Screen may be curved, but it's also 720p, and not the 1080p we expect out of high-end phones; No expandable memory; Elastic polymer paint won't fix all scratches, so don't expect it to; LG keyboard still isn't great; Big size may not work for everyone;
The first curved handset is indeed an interesting beast, bringing a creative solution to a problem that is beginning to plague handsets.While every other manufacturer is leaning hard on protective glass coatings such as what Corning provides and mineral s...

Abstract: No. Just stop it. Please. Oh God no. He won't stop. This guy I'm with keeps pushing down on the LG G-Flex to make it completely straight. No you'll break it! Is it meant to be this good?The LG G-Flex is coming to Australia, and that's great news, because...
