The LG G Flex is the second phone in the world that offers a flexible display. Samsung Galaxy Round was first but it doesn't matter much since it will stay in South Korea while the G Flex is set to arrive in Europe and the U.S. in early 2014. How about a successor to the G Flex?

A good phone takes at least two-year development process. Rumor has it even before the G Flex was even announced. The company was drawing up G Flex 2 sketches already. Speculations said the screen will be able to bend 90 degrees forward. To be clear, it doesn't really fold to 180 degrees. The G Flex 2 is supposedly a device that can bend with a stiff hinge.

The dubbed G Flex 2 comes with a special hard rubber body to allow a 90-degree bend. Further, the G Flex successor allegedly includes a flexible battery inside, although there is still no word on a removable battery.

So how can a phone that bends 90 degrees make a good one? If the phone can actually bend, it means it's not a curve fixed into place like the first G Flex. It means the phone is bendy and can do wonders for impact resistance. It can be pocket-friendly, slipping in and out of pockets easier with a device that hugs your legs.

The LG G Flex is an Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean phablet powered by a quad-core 2.26GHz Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor, 2GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU. It weighs 177 grams, 2.9 millimeters at its thinnest and 8.7 millimeters at its thickest. It is backed by a 3,500mAh battery and features a 13 MP rear camera and a 2.1 MP front camera. The 6-inch curved display comes with (P-OLED) Plastic OLED display, which is ultra-thin, ultra-light and flexible. The LG G Flex's self-healing ability was also tested on camera and its rear panel restoring faster in warm temperature has also been proven.

While the G Flex 2 may come out in 2014, LG refused to give comments, except for a statement saying that it will release a phone that can fold like a piece of paper in 2015.
