LG G Flex 2 hands-on preview — CES 2015

2015-01-05
hi I'm Vlad would average we're here at CES 2015 and we're checking out one of the first devices announced to the show is the new LG G flex 2 this is a 5.5 inch smartphone it has a curve to it and is the successor of the original G flex which was a six inch device and it's kind of a mix with LG's current flagship phone the LG g3 which is again 5.5 inches so really what you have is the more compact size and dimensions of the newest Mart phone but you still have that flexible back you actually can flex and bend this phone is designed to do it it also has this specific self-healing cover on the back which heals within 10 seconds so you can scratch it you can try and tarnish it whatever whatever way you want and it will still here and come back it's plastic it's not metal a lot of other companies going for metal designs but LG has really good looking really shiny and reflective but in an attractive way look to these new phones it comes in two colors there's a flamenco red and a platinum silver and it's one of the first devices announced when you Snapdragon 810 processor this is an octa-core 64-bit processor runs in two gigahertz it's basically the most powerful chip you can have these days but a big upgrade over the original G flex is in the resolution of the display it's do an OLED display but now has 1080p resolution Full HD which gives you 403 PPI pixel density which is great and it's just over what the iPhone 6 plus has which Oh to make sure this everyone about the camera is pretty much the same as the one in the LG g3 always been improved is had a few software tweaks a few hard optimizations and you can still use it to take selfies by using a gesture take the selfie and when you go down to preview it it automatically switches to the preview and then when you go back up to look it switches back to the camera this is designed for selfie stick use which apparently is going to be one of the big trends of 2015 so in terms of performance we just had a quick look around the LG G flex view and it looks to be moving around really fast and very fluidly it runs Android lollipop as I say it has one of the fastest chips around it basically has all the latest specs that you would expect from a brand new smartphone however LG is marketing this is more of a niche high-end device it's going to price it higher than the LG g3 and it does expect to sell that many of them and that's part of the reason why it has this glossy and shiny ostentatious look to it I'm actually a fan of it I think it works I think it has that premium feel that I was going for and I love the fact that is smaller than the G flex which is six inches we just breathe too large for it to be a smart phone I think comparing this to the LG g3 it has a more natural feel the curve is more subtle than the original G flex which again is too good and obviously being able to crush and then and really put this thing for his paces speaks very well for its durability so this is our first look at the LG G flex 2 is one of the very first devices at CES and we expect it to be a whole bunch more and see more more of them subscribe to our YouTube channel we'll have all the latest as soon as it happens
