LG Electronics has unveiled G Flex smartphone, which the company claims is world's first curved flexing smartphone in India.
 
The smartphones features a 6-inch display which the world's largest Plastic OLED (POLED) display developed and mass pro-duced specifically for smartphones.
 
It is powered by 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. Just like LG G2, the new G Flex has the power key and volume buttons on the back, positioned below a 13MP camera with LED flash. The phone's 3,500mAh battery is also curved.
 
Though the company has not revealed the price of the smartphone, it said that it would hit the market in February 2014.
 
LG said that the vertically curved design of the LG G Flex reduces the distance between one's mouth to the microphone when the device is held against the ear, as traditional tele-phone handsets used to.
 
It said that the curved form increases the sound level by 3dB compared to typical flat smartphones. The curved design also offers a more reassuring grip and fits more comfortably in one's back pocket.
 
LG said that in landscape mode, the display offers a cinematic experience, with the result being the most comfortable viewing angle for watching videos or playing games. LG G Flex also features the Rear Key first introduced in the LG G2. Devoid of any buttons on the sides, there is less chance of accidentally powering off the phone and the convenience of using one's index finger to adjust the volume when conversing is maintained.
 
The POLED display is brighter and more precise thanks to the application of Real RGB, which contains all three sub-pixels - red, green and blue - in one pixel.
 
The LG G Flex is the first smartphone to apply a "Self-Healing" coating on the back cover. The elastic coating hasthe ability to recover from the daily wear-and-tear scratches and nicks that un-cased smartphones are likely to receive, keeping the G Flex looking newer longer.
