Reliable source for Indian Smartphone news @Maheshtelecom has announced the arrival of LG G Flex, worlds truly curved smartphone in India with an MRP of 69,900 INR and a best buy price of Rs. 66,999. The phone features a vertically curved display and self healing coating on the back panel (for minor scracthes) along with the processing power of Snapdragon 800 chipset.
The phone comes with a 6 inch Plastic OLED real RGB vertically curved display (Unlike Galaxy Round which was horizontally curved) but the display resolution is only 1280 x720 p HD which gives you 244 ppi which is not much considering the display size and considering that it is display centric device.
The Phone is powered by latest Snapdragon 800 quad core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz and assisted by Adreno 330 GPU. The Ram capacity is 2 GB and the internal storage is 32 GB. The primary camera is of 13 MP and the front camera is of 2.1 MP.
The phone features a 3500 mAh battery with curved design and the back panel is particularly interesting. The back panel comes with the power and volume rocker button below the camera lens (Rear Key) similar to LG G2. The back panel comes with a self healing coating which makes it capable of healing the minor scratches itself!
According to LG the curved display will fit better on your face and will give you extra 3 DB of sound. The Loudspeaker at the back will also deliver better sound due to the curved design as it won’t be blocked.
The phone is not meant for masses. The phone comes with a MRP of 69,999 INR and best buy price of Rs. 66,999. If you are among the early adopters of technology you can consider it. The phone is probably meant to facilitate research budget for flexible display technology, which is still in alpha stage.
