The LG G Flex2, launched in India last
month, has been made available to buy
in the country on Thursday. The curved
display smartphone is priced at Rs.
54,990, and was first globally introduce
at CES 2015.
To recall, the LG G Flex2 when
announced back in January, was the firs
smartphone to run Qualcomm
Snapdragon 810 (a 64-bit octa-core
SoC). It is coupled with the Adreno 430
GPU and 2GB of LPDDR4 RAM. The
single-SIM smartphone runs Android 5.
Lollipop and features a 5.5-inch full-HD
curved P-OLED display with a
1080x1920 pixels resolution and a
403ppi pixel density.

The LG G Flex2's display has a 700mm-
radius curvature, while the back is
slightly sharper with a 650mm-radius
curvature for grip. LG says the Corning
Gorilla Glass 3 has been toughened
approximately 20 percent from the
previous generation with the firm's own
special chemical treatment technology -
LG calls this Dura-Guard glass. The
whole phone is supposedly 30 percent
more durable than the original.
The company has also improved upon
the 'Self Healing' back from the original
LG G Flex, and it will now get healed
within 10 seconds at room temperature -
significantly lower than the last-
generation's three minutes.
The LG G Flex2 sports a rear 13.0-
megapixel camera with optical image
stabilisation (OIS+), dual-LED two-tone
flash, and laser-guided autofocus just
like the LG G3 . It sports a 2.1-megapixel
front-facing camera. The G Flex2 will
come in 16GB and 32GB storage variant
that are expandable via microSD card.
Connectivity options on the LG G Flex2
include 4G LTE-A with tri-band carrier
aggregation, HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/
g/n/ac, Bluetooth Smart Ready (Apt-X)
4.1, NFC, SlimPort, GPS/ A-GPS,
GLONASS, and USB 2.0. The device
measures in at 149.1x75.3x7.1 -
9.4mm, and weighs 152 grams. The
curved handset packs a curved
embedded 3000mAh non-removable
battery.
The other features include things like a
simple hand 'Gesture Shot' recognisable
from up to 1.5 metres away; 'Gesture
View' to check last clicked shot; 'Glance
View' to swipe down for notifications
even when the screen is off, and 'Fast

up to 50 percent in under 40 minutes.
The smartphone is available in Titan
Silver/16GB variant for now.
