LG G Flex LS995

I'm thinking about picking one up as well. The idea of a curved, flexible form factor is intriguing, so I will definitely be checking it out once it hits the stores.

 

I like the thought of a phone with a flexible plastic screen that will be much less likely to break.  I just wish it was a little smaller.

The size may be a tad bit too big for me, but I won't know until I have it in hand. I could go for a phone larger than the Note 2, but the Mega was too big when I looked at that one. The LG G Flex might be just the right fit. Definitely like the more durable screen. I have dropped my phone on concrete floor twice over the past two weeks. I have lucked out so far, but it will be nice to have more peace of mind.

I cant believe its only $649!

but no kit kat???? strange....

2.26 quad core is that the snap 805????

No still just snapdragon 800...

 

What I find confusing is that it is 299.99 with a two year agreement.. i thought those don't exist anymore or am I missin something... At least they are being phased out.

At a 6 inch screen, I might as well just curve the screen of the Nexus 7 and call it a day.

 

I find the Nexus 5 to be about the biggest I will ever want a phone, at times the screen just looks massive to me.

I agree. I had a GN2 too and it was too large as my main device. My N5 would stay my daily driver.

I am thinking 6 inches for me is a sweet spot I mean it's not as pocketable! But,I like my anime shows and books on this ONE max screen... I don't go dancing like I use to so I won't need as small of a phone to fit into my jeans lol... Can't wait to see the flex for myself in store though....

I believe yesterday I saw under network specs it said LTE-A support. And now it is gone. I wonder if they just meant Spark enabled

For those who do get the LG G Flex, be sure to not go overboard with showing off its flexibility...

Consider yourselves forewarned.

 

I, for one, am still considering picking up this device when it comes out.

Are you not happy with the G2?

Absolutely, I love it to death. The customizations using G2 xposed is worth it plus development is picking up. I just like the fact the the flex has well its flexible.

i'm very interested in this one. i'm wanting a phone with a bigger screen and was interested in the One Max, but going to wait and see what this one is like since it comes out soon. hopefully its RF reception is on par with the G2 or even the N5!

This phone will definitely be one of those make it or break it deals with the US and Curved phones. If this phone sells well, I think we will see other companies introduce curved phones here.

Agreed.  I hope the LG G Flex does well in the US.  Maybe if LG can be start to become a threat then maybe Samsung will try to innovate again.

I got a exclusive look at the flex today. My friend is a att manager and he let me play with it for a bit. First off the screen is gorgeous and the curve makes video look awesome. Thought it was a gimmick at first but i really like it. The colors obviously put the g2 to shame but the g2's camera took much better pics. For one it was more steady and the pics came out much sharper on the G2. But the sound damn impressive. It is louder than the nexus 5 and the G2 put together regardless of the speaker being on the back instead of the bottom. It was not tinny like the G2 at all and playing the same youtube video from my G2 and the flex I couldnt even hear the G2 thats how loud and great the speakers are on the flex. Its a big phone but doesnt look like it thanks to the curved screen. I didnt try a pocket test though. I like the G2 UI better but all and all I would like to use the flex as my daily driver.

That's great news Terrell! Now that my area is LTE live, any temptation for leaving Sprint has gone bye bye.

 

And with 29 hours talk time, this is a strong contender in my search for a Spark device!

Awesome. Thanks for the mini review! :tu:

 

I am definitely looking forward to checking out this phone once it hits the stores and will likely bite on this one. I could use some flexible triband goodness! :lol:

I don't know if its because it was fresh out of the box when I used it but its actually kind of hard to bend the phone. It is going to be the display unit so I didn't want to damage it though so I held back alot of strength. One thing is regardless of it being 720p and not as sharp as the G2 video still look better and I love looking at videos on my G2.

Our LG rep came into the store in Madison today and had a G Flex on him that he let me check out. It feels every bit as big as what I thought it would be due to the 6" screen but it did feel really zippy and fast as expected. 

To me it feels like a curved G2 with a big display which is good and bad. I really don't need a phone that big but some people do, so I get it.

Personally I wouldn't use one but for someone who doesn't want a Samsung phablet I would recommend them to try this one out. We'll see longevity wise how it holds up to being dropped and what not.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
