Indian customers should also know that the LG G Flex is not the only device that comes with a curved display because Samsung has also released its Galaxy Round handset which implies the same innovation. Talking about TV, Sony and Samsung has also got their similar television. However, their sizes vary to massive extent resulting in the major differences in the price as well.
In the meanwhile, its worth mentioning some of the drawbacks of the LG G Flex. As such there are not many but since it will be coming in premium category, one will inevitably look for high end specs. LG gives it all but fails to offer a Full HD display. It also comes with a lesser pixel density compared to the rival Galaxy Round. Although it comes with 32 GB internal storage, it would have been better if it came with microSD card slot as well. If compared to Galaxy Round it looses with its 2GB RAM as well, HD display and slightly lesser processor clock. However, the LG G flex wins the Galaxy Round with its 3500 mAh battery.
