it's Josh regard from Andhra Authority what's going on everybody and you already know what it is this is your drop test for the LG G flex it does have a curve to it which somewhat protects the screen but also we have a self-healing back here so we're going to see what happens to this phone if it'll stand up to our drop test a little bit better than ones we've done before you already know how it goes we're gonna drop the LG G flex on its back onto its bottom onto its front which because that curve might be a little bit more protected than most and before we even get started here's the LG G flex in the before shot you're just seeing how this is a fully operational phone before I even get started with this drop test alright and here we go we're going to drop the LG G flex right on to its back so let's see what happens in three two one and for the most part if there were any scratches that were on this healing back it must have gone away already but the ones that dig a lote that dug a little bit deeper are definitely showing there and I'm not too sure if those are gonna come off however we will give it a little bit of time and see if that will be the case a nice nimble grip on there all the cameras should be rolling right now and we're going in three two the phone bounced when it fell onto its bottom and I didn't know what to expect when I picked it up however as you can see here there was a crack on the bottom there was enough impact to create a fissure right here and we have a small number of very long cracks that go all the way to other sides of the phone even reaching the top right corner in one case so unfortunately we do have a crack screen already after the second test which was dropping it on its bottom the phone does still work however after all we're gonna be done here and it looks like even in that little crack the Menu button still works about as well as it should here we go we'll see how the curve right here makes the screen maybe hopefully a little bit protective but obviously we already approved that wrong by cracking here but here we go with the final test making sure all my cameras are good getting a nice angle right here and here we go in three two one nice square hit there we did already provide some damage using the bottom test that came down over here oh I did the knock-knock and it still worked that's a good sign and then of course we had the top left cracking as well and I suppose when the cracks met in the middle it created a bit of a fissure right over there so as I did the knock-knock it came up it looks like the phone is still operational many buns still works down here let's see if I can bring down the notification drop down from the top left yes that seems to be the case I do feel I think I got nicked by a piece of glass so I'm probably going to put a band-aid hung later anyway that is the danger you have with a cracked screen so that is the end of our drop test right there and so there you have it for this drop test on the LG G flex despite the positivity that I had going into this that the screen would be protected due to the curve that is somewhat protecting it unfortunately you are still able to get impact on the very corners and sides of the screen and that is enough to create a shatter that's something that is pretty much expected however I had some positivity coming into this I had some hopes for it that is so all in all we do see however that the back of the LG G flex is still pretty much intact I'm not too sure if the self-healing material has done its job but I will say that there are some cracks on here that really dug into the material on the back and those I'm pretty sure are not going to go away after a couple hours which is what we're going to wait is how long we're going to wait to see if those go away with the phone still being operational it is possible to still use this phone which is a bit of a pass on the drop test however like I kind of did thankfully I'm not bleeding I did get a little nicked by the glass for the first time in these drop tests so just remember that sort of danger that coming in to a phone that's has a cracked screen like this so as always

for the LG G flex but that is not it for our coverage of it because we are Android Authority your source for all things Android ouch that hurt so it's been something like two and a half hours after I've done the drop test on the LG G flex I just wanted to show you real quick you'll see a close-up and maybe a picture too because why not of the scuffs that were originally there on the LG G flex and I would say originally they're not because they went away but because well they look a little bit better now I will say and we waited for a while I even did a couple of things to try to facilitate the healing process on the back however those scuffs are always going to be there I knew that that was going to be the case because it really dug into the material and it's kind of like polishing a crater you can't really do anything when the crater is there so that is what we're working with here that was your drop test for the LG G flex and ostensibly your self-healing back test as well so two birds one stone there you go so keep it tuned to Android authority we're your source for all things Android and stay tuned for more on the LG G flex
