uecker87 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnoj Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 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.

NateC Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyallcubes Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 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.

Happy Thanksgiving! Expect up to a month before the Class II permissive and then another 2-4 weeks before sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoses Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I hope it's not a flex 2..... I like the screen size of my flex and don't want to go smaller..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) 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.

lilotimz Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Meep! http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g-flex-2-ces-january-570764/ 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbspot Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 How was the original? Was there much developer support for ROMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runagun Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Translate the page to read, It seems initially its only going to be sold by Sprint... http://pclab.pl/news60777.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmoses Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transitwatch889 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 What's the reason limiting the device to two carrier aggregation when its possible for 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkyeager Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) 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 Edited January 6, 2015 by dkyeager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have been asking why the phone has only been certified for Cat 6, when its SoC (SD 810) is Cat 9-ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuhfhrh Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 This looks nice. Can't believe the 810 is already around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
