LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2015 — LG Electronics (LG)
continues to push the industry boundaries with the unveiling of the new G Flex2
at the 2015 International CES® in Las Vegas. The original G
Flex earned positive reviews for its innovative design and outside-the-box
thinking. One year later, the G Flex2 improves upon its predecessor in every
way possible with a more advanced design, faster performance and most importantly,
greater convenience.
The
LG G Flex2 boasts sleeker, more stylish curves and a powerful Qualcomm®
Snapdragon™ 810 processor with Octa-Core 64-bit capable CPUs for a nimbler and
smoother performance. Its 5.5-inch display gets a bump up to Full HD, while the
updated software offers even more conveniences through all-new features such as
Gesture View and Glance View. The unique “Self Healing” back cover from the
original G Flex carries over to the G Flex2 and is now faster and more
effective than before.

Beauty In The Details
The
G Flex2 goes beyond its predecessor’s groundbreaking 700mm radius curved
profile. The new smartphone harmoniously incorporates a symphony of curves
ranging from a radius of 400mm to 700mm across the front, back, sides and
top-to-bottom edges.The dynamically curved layers deliver a sleeker and more
dynamic look to G Flex2.
However,
the G Flex2’s curves are for more than looks. The phone’s ergonomic design
brings the microphone closer to the mouth, for better sound pickup compared to
conventional smartphones which allow much more outside noise to enter the phone
through the microphone. The slimmed down 5.5 inches screen with
curvatures makes the perfect fit for eyes and the grip. The display’s 700mm radius
curvature delivers a truly immersive viewing experience from any angle, while
the steeper 650mm radius curvature of the back is more comfortable to grip and
fits easier in the pocket. The display’s resolution has also been bumped up to
1080p Full HD, which makes every UI detail appear crisp and alive. The P-OLED
display, which gives the G Flex2 its unique shape and durability, is even more
precise than in the original G Flex.
Turning
the phone over reveals handcrafted details such as the Spin Hairline Pattern on
the G Flex2’s curved rear, which showcases the subtle yet brilliant polish of
the surface from every angle.
Most Advanced Technology To Date
The
G Flex2 is the first smartphone officially announced to come equipped with the
Snapdragon 810 processor, featuring Octa-Core 64-bit capable CPUs optimized for
Android 5.0 and the advanced Qualcomm® Adreno™ 430 GPU for stunning graphics
performance. This makes the smartphone incredibly fast and efficient for
multimedia and multi-tasking. The Snapdragon 810 also features fully integrated
3x20MHz Carrier Aggregation support for faster, more efficient connectivity.
What’s
more, the G Flex2’s cover glass is approximately 20 percent more durable,
thanks to a special chemical treatment technology developed by LG.
The
Self Healing back, which keeps the phone looking new even through the nicks and
scratches from normal everyday use, has also been improved with significantly
faster healing time. LG reduced the healing time from about three minutes to
just within ten seconds at room temperature.
Another
innovative technology only available in LG smartphones is the amazingly fast
Laser Auto Focus camera, first introduced in the popular LG G3. This technology
enables the G Flex2 to capture the best moment — even in low light — by
measuring the distance between the subject and the camera using a laser beam.
Combined with LG’s proven OIS+ technology and dual LED flash, the G Flex2
delivers images that rival most standalone point and shoot cameras.
Practical Solutions for User Convenience
The
G Flex2’s curve-enhanced user experience carries over to software as well. It
comes fully loaded with the best of LG’s unique software features optimized for
its curved form factor:
￭ Gesture
Shot makes it easy to capture the perfect selfie with a simple hand
gesture recognizable from up to 1.5 meters away.
￭ Gesture
View makes it easy to check your last shot immediately after taking a
photo or selfie.
￭ GlanceView displays
key information such as time, recent messages or missed calls with a downward
swipe of the curved screen even while
the display is off.
￭ Fast
Charge allows the embedded 3,000mAh battery in the G Flex2 — the only
curved mobile battery in the world to be charged up
to 50 percent in under 40 minutes.
“The
original G Flex demonstrated LG’s pioneering spirit and with the G Flex2 we
have refined the curved form factor, staying true to our philosophy of
innovation for a better life,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of the LG
Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The G Flex2 not only has the
stunning looks, it also has the powerful guts to be at the cutting edge of
current smartphone technology. Simply put, it’s a true head-turner in every
sense of the word.”
The
LG G Flex2 will be available starting at the end of the month in Korea to be
followed by additional global markets. The device will initially be available
in two colors: Platinum Silver and Flamenco Red.
