Too big for me, but I'm glad to see them finally beginning to add the CCA bands (2/4/5/12) to some more models.

 

If this ships after February 11, it will be interesting to see whether or not Sprint will unlock it (or any other device that passes through the FCC this winter), given that it's clearly been "developed" already.

A hair smaller than the G3...  Wonder what it could be...  A little early for the G4 isn't it?

 

Edit:  New LG G Flex?

 

I'm curious too, since the size doesn't seem to line up with any existing LG device.  Googling "LS996" does show references to a LG G Flex, but those were pages from 2013.  So I suppose it could be a new G Flex.

On one page it showed the fcc label, with an meid open. Tried entering it in as a sprint device, just for kicks, and said it wasnt in the system. Could be a LG G flex remake. Remember the s3 got a remake recently, so wouldnt be suprised.

LG G Flex is LG LS995, and this is LG LS996. Put 2 & 2 together, and you get the LG G Flex 2. Happy Thanksgiving! Expect up to a month before the Class II permissive and then another 2-4 weeks before sale.

The original G Flex came out Jan 31, so this lines up well for a similar release date.

 

So it'll be about a week before the new unlock policy goes into effect.. perfect lol. I expect a number of attractive devices (including possibly the Z4 & Z4 Ultra, which have been tipped for a CES unveiling) to be released in late January/early February. Hold strong folks!

After reviewing the ERP/EIRP for this device, RF characteristics are mid-range for everything but Band 41, which runs in the higher region. I guess we will see for sure once the device is released.

 

And I do expect this to support Wi-Fi calling out of the box.

Meep!

LG is gearing up to release the second generation of the curved G Flex at CES Las Vegas in January, sources told Android Authority.

Details about the new device are scarce for now, but according to persons close to the matter, the G Flex 2 will be a “major upgrade” over its predecessor. The device is said to feature a high resolution plastic-based OLED screen (Full HD, most likely) in a smaller form factor. The self-healing coating will make a return on the G Flex 2, in an improved form.

How was the original? Was there much developer support for ROMS?

 

it was a niche phone so it didn't get much developer support, it was able to be rooted right away, but they didn't get a custom recovery working until a few weeks ago. without that there wasn't much use for ROMS, i looked shortly after the recovery was done and there wasn't really any yet. which wasn't all bad since the phone works really well and doesn't really have any issues out of the box :)

3xCA, 300Mbps theoretical max (source: http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-g-flex-2-specs)

 

my next phone could already be on the boat if CA works with Sprint.

Such a nice beautiful phone. Nice processor too.

What's the reason limiting the device to two carrier aggregation when its possible for 3?

 

CAT 6 UE is limited to max of 40 mhz of aggregated LTE spectrum so 20+20 is the max aggregated amount.

Total maximum bandwidth of 20Mhz.

 

That boat just may have sank.

 

Waiting for reviews and actual usage or the next boat...

 

  • > 2GB RAM

  • > 48 GB storage

  • microSD card

  • 1080p or greater

  • android 4 or greater

  • Sprint and CCA bands

Wait I thought it could do 2 carrier of 20mhz on b41? Is it that important to have even more than 2 carriers at this point? From what I had read its 32gb internal, plus additional support for more with a microsd. And its a device with a 5.5" screen 1080p is overkill anyway, just saying. Lol

He may have been asking why the phone has only been certified for Cat 6, when its SoC (SD 810) is Cat 9-ready.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
