if you've seen our reviews on the G flex 2 you already know that we're big fans of its design but a curved display is only half the story here the other half is the self-healing back which LG claims can heal minor abrasions in just 10 seconds I'm hiya - Hugh smooth pocket now and I'm about to beat up a perfectly good smartphone for science last year we put the original G flex through a torture test to see just how well that self-healing back holds up and in the end we concluded that time heals most wounds but since the resurgent back has allegedly been improved in the G flex - we thought we'd take another look now before we start it's worth noting that our flux due already had a small scratch sitting to the right of the LG logo from prior time with the phone this was the result of simply handling the phone over the past week something that should be covered by the self-healing coating but a lot of things can happen when you're handling a smart phone especially if you're clumsy or forgetful by nature and we just wanted to see how far this feature can go we've all accidentally put our phone in a pocket that was already occupied and more often than not it's with something sharp like keys so just like last year we threw the G flex into a pocket with keys loose change and a lighter before running around the neighborhood a little bit - jumble it all around the result was well to our pleasant surprise the back seemed totally unscathed and we even shook everything up in a ziplock bag for rougher tests and still nothing you win this round now surely you've taken out your phone on the way of the car and casually toss it into the passenger seat no well maybe that's just us we simulated this a few times and the phone held strong at until our last take when it ended up tumbling out of the car and hitting the pavement to be fair this probably won't happen to you often but it did save me a step in recreating Michael's out of the car spill from last year and still aside from a little scuff on the bottom corner our flex 2 is still looking bright and shiny this next one might not apply to you unless you keep your phone in your back pocket but the curve on the flux almost encourages it and I found myself missing my back pocket on multiple occasions and especially if you're out alongside the sidewalk this could definitely be in trouble the scuffs and marks we made here weren't as easily faded as the ones from before so try not to drop your expensive phone lastly well this one hurt you're probably not going to encounter this problem but people are gonna ask about it anyway deep scratches cuts we took a knife to the back of the phone to prove a point that just because the phone is capable of healing minor abrasions it's not gonna prevent major ones please don't do this to your pretty G flex in any case it's important to remember that unlike that of its predecessor the G flex 2 is back is removable meaning that any irreparable damage to the back can be remedied with a simple swap just make sure to take good care of the rest of the phone while you're at it you've seen the abuse that this thing can take but what about the rest of the phone we've examined the global annuus models of the G flex 2 and many many more so be sure to subscribe to the channel to make sure you don't miss a video drop us a like and visit pocketnow.com to show your support and until next time this has been high out to Houston for pocket now thanks for watching
