this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by the all-new G flex 2 from LG life's good what's up everyone John rent your from TechnoBuffalo here we are on location from CES 2015 taking a look at the latest from LG this is the G flex 2 addition to a crazy fast processor in a curved body one of the cooler features about this device is its self-healing back but what does that mean and how well does it self heal I figured I'd take the phone and I take some keys and I put it to the test alright so we've got the G flex 2 and on the back as I mentioned it's got this sort of self-healing coating on it it's not so feeling like you know the t1000 or anything how this works is actually really cool so I'm gonna get a little bit nerdier than usual for a minute and tell you a little bit about this back so it is coated with a lot of hydrogen atoms and hydrogen naturally likes to be equidistant from each other and when there's a scratch on the surface those atoms get separated so how did it naturally wants to come closer together and that's how the little scratches and Nick's can get healed obviously if you scratch off this coating or you take a knife to it it's not gonna sell feel things like that but little scratches the little Nick's it'll go away like magic on the previous LG G flex had a similar bit of technology and a kind of rub your finger over it you had a little bit of heat and take about a minute for it to happen this one so peels in about 10 to 15 seconds so way way way quicker the back looks like plastic and it feels like plastic but you can definitely feel that there's more to it you can almost push your nail through it you can feel it there's a material there so I carry my phones I don't usually use a case but usually keep them in complete separate pockets for my keys because I'm worried about a scratches on the front and back of the device so I figured what better way than just to try it on camera so we got a set of old-school keys I've got the phone right here looks like it would in the pocket I'm gonna go ahead and just rub these guys on here go back and forth to push a little hard I'll turn the keys down so the edges are there I'll give a bit of a scratch to even get anything showing it's a bottle opener get that going there too I've got a little bit of Nicks and dings at the top go ahead and get a little bit of heat give it a few seconds kind of wipe it clean for my fingerprints and those little Nick's and scratches are gone that was this is obviously a bit of an exaggerated test because I'm actually rubbing keys on it what if you just put it in your pocket so let me go try that I'm gonna take these keys and throw in my pocket take the same phone my throw up my pocket I'm gonna simulate like walk-in dancin and doing my thing scratching in them all around like you would if you're just out on a normal day go ahead take the phone back out same thing a couple little scratches and Nick's a little bit of this action we end up with my sleeve and the back of this phone almost looks like new I'm go ahead and sort of show you different angles so it's no camera tricks or anything of all this thing really just feels itself whether it's scratch with your finger just scratch it with keys it's going to look really good and again obviously you can scratch off this back coating and it's not gonna keep itself that way it's not made of magic but just little scratches little superficial stuff I'll go ahead and take care of where it's really cool proof of concept that LG decided to bring to the market and what do you guys think is this a killer feature for years you care is it something that you would want our next device see your thoughts I don't leave it on the comments down below so next time I'm John rendering TechnoBuffalo so guys next video okay this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by the all-new G flex 2 from LG life's good thank you guys for watching our coverage of CES 2015 if you want to see all the rest of the videos gonna be coming out during the show hit the big subscribe link down below
