hi this is Nathan with the verge and we're taking a look at LG G flex its first-ever curved smartphone as you can see it's a very large phone 6 inch screen it's got a pretty pronounced curve not unlike Samsung's Galaxy Nexus although it's quite a bit more severe because the screen actually can curve rather than just the glass other than that it's a pretty standard looking smartphone with a clean front on the back it's got LG's new back power button and volume buttons here when you turn it on you can see the screen here it's a 720p screen and it's got a feature where if you turn to the side and tear apart here it opens up into a sort of gallery view you can access your photos videos youtube etc etc and another interesting quirk for the this model it's only for the korean market and as such it has a built in TV antenna i'm feeling if this comes to us you probably won't see it here but it's kind of a fun feature for those using it overseas so here LG's shown showing us some of the components of the phone including the flexible screen you can see here it can bend pretty significantly obviously it's not going to bend this much inside the phone itself but it gives you an idea of what the screen itself is capable of and here's one of LG's at curved batteries it's got a curve that matches the body of the phone in addition to being curved it actually does flex a little bit it sort of flattens out here and l's you don't have any word on when it's going to come to the US but they say they hope it'll be here soon
