LG has finally announced the launch of its much-awaited G Flex curved
display smartphone in India, at Rs. 69,999. The South Korean major has
confirmed that the LG G Flex
will be hitting the Indian stores starting Thursday.
Notably, the LG G
Flex with a whopping price of Rs. 69,999 has become one of most costly
smartphones available in the Indian market leaving behind the Apple
iPhone 5s, Samsung
Galaxy Note 3 and
HTC One Max.
The
Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean-based G Flex is powered by a quad-core 2.26GHz
Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor with an Adreno 330 GPU, and 2GB of
RAM. It features a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 2.1-megapixel
front-facing camera. The G Flex is powered by a 3,500mAh battery, weighs
177 grams, and is 7.9mm at its thinnest, while being 8.7mm at its
thickest.
As for the 6-inch curved display, LG has used a curved
OLED panel, which is also built on plastic substrates instead of glass,
supposedly giving the phone better durability. The display features Real
RGB technology to provide all three sub-pixels in one pixel, thereby
making it "brighter and more precise."
LG has also included a new
'self-healing' coating on the back cover, an elastic coating that
supposedly has the ability to "recover from the daily wear-and-tear
scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive."
The LG G Flex's self-healing capabilities have also been creating a buzz
worldwide.
Commenting on the announcement, Soon Kwon, MD, LG
India said, "Curved flexible displays are a groundbreaking technology
that enhances consumers' viewing experience by many degrees. LG's latest
offering G Flex combines innovation and technology along with sleek,
curved design that not only delivers a more comfortable grip and fit,
but offers better voice and sound quality. G Flex represents a new era
in the smartphone space where curved and flexible displays are no longer
a sci-fi fantasy."
