LG G Flex Curved Smartphone Surface: LG G Flex vs Samsung's Galaxy Round
The onslaught of devices from Apple and Nokia may have taken the public's attention from other upcoming releases. There are more companies planning to release interesting devices and they might be worth the look. For example, a leak just hinted LG working on G Flex - an Android phone that features a similar screen like Samsung's Galaxy Round.
It seems another Korean tech manufacturer wants to introduce a new trend. Samsung already surprised the market with their Samsung Galaxy Round. According to analysts, this trend of releasing "insane" updates will continue as companies continue to look for ways to differentiate their brand from the rest.
Tech companies already started with timepieces and eyewear; this time it seems flexible electronics will find its way more and more to the market. The curved body of Samsung's Galaxy Round was enough to spark interest.
Certainly, LG does not want to trail behind its Korean competitor. The LG G Flex will follow a similar design. Press renders, diagrams, and leaks about it have been surfacing for the past few weeks. What is even better is that this time, the leak provides photos of the device.
According to the report from The Verge, people can see an actual person holding the device. The photos also featured the G Flex placed on a desk. Unlike Samsung's Galaxy round, LG's phone curves from left to right. The curve is not as apparent at first look. However, when the device is placed on a flat surge, the device will look as it is rocking back and forth making the curve evident.
LG has not released the official specs for the device. People will have to wait for the official announcement to know what LG will be bringing to the table.
Samsung's Galaxy Round, on the other hand, features a curved OLED display, a 5.7-inch 1080p screen similar to Galaxy Note 3, and a 2800mAh battery. According to Samsung the phone comes with a Round Interaction feature. This feature allows users to see battery life, missed calls, date and time when they tilt the device on a flat surface and even with the screen off.
Other features include 13 megapixels camera, Android 4.3 with 3GB Ram and 2.3GHz quad-core processor.
