LG G Flex Hands On Review: First Impression

Self Healing Nature

Beyond the bendable nature, LG G Flex is the first phone that can repair scratches and protect the phone from damage. At first sight it appears to be a market gimmick and brain washing consumers' mind. The "self healing "capability cannot be ruled out but expecting 100 % results is too much from the first-gen G Flex.

Specifications

LG Flex is a high-end beast, so there's nothing wrong if a user expect mind blowing internal specifications.

The G Flex features a 2.26 GHz quad-core processor powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC coupled with 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal memory, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot.

Since LG G Flex will hit the Indian market in February, GizBot expects the device to run the Android 4.4 Kitkat out of the box. The displayed model at the press meet was running the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

The phone measures (7.9/8.7mm), according to the official specs sheet, and weighs 177 grams. Other connectivity features include: Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/ac (2.4/5 GHz Dual Band), Miracast and more.

Camera

The LG G2 is blessed with good looks and impeccable design, but at the same time its camera is not that path-breaking. The phone incorporates a 13-megapixel camera shooter with Auto Focus, BSI sensor and LED Flash and a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera.

But the biggest bummer here is the lack of built-in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature. While LG's other sophisticated handsets - the G 2 and Google Nexus 5 comes with the OIS feature. It is rather surprising to see why LG hasn't included OIS feature. Though, the camera is solid, and one should expect great picture quality.
