LG G Flex User Reviews

No worlds to say about this gadget, excellent smartphone, super design curved..... And about this screen is PO LED display....... And lg is becoming more advanced options like quick memo and q slide apps and other ir port options

I was looking for a new phone when my older Motorola Razr Maxx conked out on me and I decided to look at other carriers. I found the LG phones at At&t to be very enticing and it came down to the G3 and the G Flex. I really liked the look and feel of the Flex and the UI is just as easy to use as my Razr and other phones I looked at (HTC One). The phone is lite but has a BIG 6" screen, but I have big hands so it's not a problem. It also fits really well in my pockets and because of the curve you barely feel it. The processor is really fast and you can go from app to app without bogging down. Overall a nice phone but wish it had more oomph, such as some weight just to let you know it's there.

I bought this phone at Best Buy for $12 what a steal! The phone retailed for $804 and so far I have been very pleased with it. Battery life is great, and the processor is more than capable. Screen looks great, and yes I said looks great. I know it is a 245ppi screen, How is it that the Apple Ipad 3 running at 264ppi gets a top ranking box, but this phone with just a 19ppi difference gets the bottom ranking box??? Looking at the display it is just not that bad as some have claimed. I came from a Samsung Galaxy S3, and this is for sure and upgrade, not to mention this phone is great for everyday use! The 6 inch screen is awesome to watch video on. As I stated there are some things that can be improved upon, but as a whole.... great phone.

As a fan of large screen phones, my wife asked me to contrast these types of devices. She was a current user of the Samsung Note lines, so the standard was set pretty high. This was on the market, so I checked into it.

However, the best thing we could have done is give this beast a chance. It is a unique, fun phone. For those not familiar, The LG Flex uses a special type of material on the body and screen tech to allow for a curved device which "flexes" a small amount to give it a bit of durability. It also has a "self-healing" polymer material on the back, which small scratches disappear over time. Crafters have had this type of polymer on their crafting boards for years, where after they cut out paper or whatever they have measured out, the boards polymer material slowly fills back in the scratch from the cut to it's original design.

Do these advantages pay off? Well, this is a HUGE 6" device. The best thing about the curve is that is makes it actually easier to handle. More comfortable to hold then similar sized phones like the Note3 or the Nokia Lumia 1520, it is much easier to carry and use. The curve also makes watch media and playing games on it a joy. Something about the "theatre" feel about it makes it fun. My wife is a reader, and she feels the curve screen is also perfect for that.

The screen itself is nice- vibrant and colorful. details shine. One of the advantages of a large phone is that the internal antenna is also large, resulting in great reception. 4G/LTE signals are held onto tightly, and call/texting signals are never lost. Call quality is fine, and the curve feel helps with the comfort of a phone call. Notice I said "help". This is still a huge phone, and managing phone calls on this large of a beast is something you had better try out first.

The UI and tools LG has attached to Android are okay. It is heavily layered, and that may have some effect to the long term smoothness of the phone. You will need to understand how to manage background tasks and deleting unused apps. It is a well stocked, quad-core device, so the processor is fine. Out of the box, it shines. It moves effortlessly from one command to another. Just be aware: All Androids need some fine tuning to keep them that way. If you learn how, the Flex will be an excellent long term device.

Disadvantages: That self healing back is a finger print magnet in the first degree, and slippery. You may opt for a case, and quite simply put the Flex has very few options in that area, so be prepared to look for one you like. The curved screen resulted in a lesser Hi-Def screen then what other phones use, so while excellent, there are better ones out there now. The UI is pure preference, and LG has made it so either you will love it or hate it.

Also- LG has put the volume controls on the back of their phones. This results in a smooth, small bezeled footprint, but again- try it first.

People thing the G flex not worth it due to the 720P screenin big 6 inch body, it's unique fast phaplet that even out perform note 3 with the most attractive OLED screen around with great battrey live.
