Curvaceous Smartphone Competitors

The LG G Flex is Designed to Rival the Samsung Galaxy Round

The LG G Flex is the South Korean tech company's unofficial response to the Samsung Galaxy Round. You may remember the Galaxy Round as the curved smartphone recently announced by the company. Not one to be outdone, LG has rolled out its own curvy smartphone to do battle with the Galaxy Round both in South Korea and abroad.

The LG G Flex has been curved to follow the contour of the human face. This curvature brings the microphone closer to the face. The phone packs a 6-inch, 1280 x 720 resolution P-OLED display and is powered by a 2.26 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor. The LG G Flex sports a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2.1-megapixel webcam and its battery life is said to be a day-plus. The phone will debut first in South Korea before coming out abroad.
