Reviews for the LG G Flex 2

70% A big improvement on the curved screen smartphone
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
It's good to see LG have another pop at the curved phone and on the whole we're impressed with the G Flex 2 and since it's been around for a while the price is something of a bargain. The curve is by no means necessary but it does feel and look good and improvements include the higher screen resolution and slimmed down body. It's still packed with tech but it's a shame to see occasional laggy performance which puts a dampener on things.

More manageable in the hand, with an improved display and super speedy self-healing back - there's a lot to like about the LG G Flex 2. It's not small and it won't be cheap, but you'll be getting an unique device which you can show off to all your mates with scuffed up iPhones. Suckers.

A combination of power, beauty and functionality in a curved body
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
LG G Flex2 is a gorgeous, powerful and functional device. Thanks to its curved design, light weight and slim body it feels great in the hand. One of its great features is the healing back, which saves us the worries about small scratches. G Flex2’s display offers superb multimedia experience, and battery life is long enough to get you through the day. The SoC and all its components offer high performance, so using the device is a pleasure. The only drawback that we can think of is the overheating issues.

70% LG G Flex2 Review: Comfortably Curvy
Source: NDTV Gadgets Archive.org version
Interested buyers can pick up the G Flex2 for its novelty factor. Practically, if you have so much to spend we'd suggest you take a look at the iPhone 6 (Review | Pictures) or the Samsung Galaxy S6 (Review | Pictures) instead. In fact, we'd even recommend the Galaxy S6's wackier sibling - the Galaxy S6 Edge (Review | Pictures) - over the LG G Flex2 plainly because it is more stable.

90% LG G Flex2 – Review
Source: Cool Smartphone Archive.org version
The positives of this handset is that it stood out and the curvature of the device was pretty much spot on. As the old Goldilocks story goes, it wasn’t too much, wasn’t too little – juuuuuust right. It was speedy too, but I struggled to see why (other than the fact it’s curved) you’d buy this over an LG G3 or the newer G4. The G Flex2 is available on Vodafone for nothing on bundles costing £40 or more per month. To be honest, it’s hitting a premium price-point here and sits next to my LG G3 on the same network for free on £26 per month plans. I’ve gotta be straight with you, it’s hard for me not to recommend the cheaper G3 – even though the newer G4 is now out.

There are few smartphones around that can match the ability of the LG G Flex 2 to turn heads, so if that’s a key part of what you want from a handset, there’s nothing here that’s going to put you off. It’s a fast phone, and the screen, camera and battery life all hit the mark too.

The LG G Flex 2 improves on the original in almost every way, but its curviness isn't a total must have feature that will make you ditch your current phone for it. It's fast, powerful and gorgeous looking, but it screams excess for no real reason. We'd wait out for the LG G4 to land, which promises much of the same, but with a whole lot less curve.

80% LG G Flex 2 (Sprint) review: a curveball in 2015’s flagship lineup
Source: Pocketnow Archive.org version
But the G Flex 2 isn’t defined by its flaws. It’s more than just LG showing off curved design again, it’s a refined and sophisticated smartphone that’s just as powerful as it is stylish. It’s one of the more comfortable handheld devices I’ve ever used despite being a bit bigger than I what typically prefer, and it’s almost impossible to take out in public without catching someone’s eye. For those reasons, I’d gladly overlook its minor shortcomings and carry it as my personal phone … if only the damn AT&T model would get here.

Review: LG G Flex 2
Source: Gizmag Archive.org version
The G Flex 2 is a solid phone, and a big step forward from the original G Flex. But it also doesn't bring any meaningful stand-out features to the table, and its competition is too good for us to highly recommend it. Looking at Sprint's on-contract pricing for the phone (US$200), it's butting heads with the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6, two phones that we'd put far ahead of the Flex.

With an improved display and nifty new software touches, the G Flex 2 is a definite upgrade over its predecessor. Its smaller size makes it more comfortable to use with one hand, and its above-average performance makes it a dependable companion. The 13-MP camera takes very sharp pictures, too, although it struggles in low light.

This brings me to the price. At $780 it’s nearly double that of the LG G3, which retails for a touch under $400 these days. With the only real advantage being performance, the extra $380 just doesn’t seem worth it. LG has certainly tried to produce a unique smartphone that breaks away from the usual mold of flat, boring slabs, I'll give them that, though unfortunately it hasn’t quite come off.

The G Flex 2 doesn’t need any gimmicks. If you straightened out the display this would still be an excellent device. The display is gorgeous, the battery life is great, it has a powerful processor, and a great camera. The fact that it has a curved display is icing on the cake. It looks cool and feels awesome in your hand. People will want to know what phone you have. In a day and age where 90% of phones look-alike you can stand out from the crowd with the LG G Flex 2.

85% LG G Flex 2 Review: More Than The Curve
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
The G Flex 2 seems like it’s the kind of phone that would live or die by its striking design, but the truth is that it’d be fantastic with or without its curves. Its unique build is both sturdy and comfortable to hold, and its display, performance, and camera are all competitive with any other flagship on the market. The Snapdragon 810’s heating issues are tangible, and being unable to change the included battery is a drag, but neither of those problems prevent the G Flex 2 from being one of the first great smartphones of 2015.

LG G Flex 2 review - the bendy phone that self heals
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
Our main concern is the price. At £529 SIM-free, the LG G Flex 2 is one of the most expensive handsets you can buy today, topping the LG G3 by almost £150. This wouldn't be so bad if the G Flex 2 had all the makings and build quality of a proper high-end flagship handset, but its slightly cheap-looking plastic chassis is nowhere near as smart as the G3's faux-metal finish, and the imminent arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 blow it out of the water.

If it wasn’t already obvious, then I guess I’ll say it again – I won’t be recommending that anyone go out and buy the LG G Flex 2. There is certainly potential here, but until LG proves that it can optimize software or not ruin some of the best features of Android by enforcing its own skin, then you would be better served looking elsewhere. This was a decent second attempt at trying to convince the world that it needs a curve in its life, but it failed miserably in the area that matters most – software.

Overall the LG G Flex 2 has plenty to offer, and not just because it's curved. There's lots of power and it performs well, even if we couldn't detect a huge real-world increase in performance over the last generation of Snapdragon hardware. There are some software quirks we don't like and it feels like there could be some further refinement, although we'll have to take a closer look at a UK device to ensure that it wasn't the SK Telecom's additions causing the problems. Battery life could also be better.

LG G Flex2 First Impressions: The Experiment Stabilises a Little

The main question that remains unanswered about the LG G Flex2 is how it will feel to own and use over a long period of time. We will have to wait for a review unit to reach us before we can come to any such conclusions. In the brief time we were able to spend with a unit tethered to the table at LG's booth, we were both impressed and intrigued.

We weren’t entirely sold on the original LG G Flex, which was just a little too bulky and gimmicky, not to mention overpriced given the middling specs. Thankfully the G Flex 2 sports a much nicer form factor and a Full HD screen, plus one of the best smartphone cameras around right now, making it the phone the first G Flex should have been (bar the occasional sluggish performance).

If you really want a curved smartphone, then this is the best there is. That's not really saying much, though. This is the phone that the first G Flex should have been, and we praise LG for trying to do something different with the design, just like Samsung did with the quirky Galaxy Note Edge.

Though the LG G Flex is on pre-order with Sprint in the US, we have yet to see where and at what price the phone will be available on other carriers in the West. The off-contract price on Sprint, for the moment, is listed at around $500. Though the LG G Flex has proven that curved displays can definitely work for flagship smartphones, the only competitor with a curved display thus far is Samsung with the Galaxy Note Edge, and whatever edged device we might see from them at the upcoming Mobile World Congress at Barcelona.

LG G Flex 2 Review – Killer Curves
Source: Slashgear Archive.org version
When you're using a non-localized device, there are always provisos to be taken into consideration. In the case of the LG G Flex 2, we still have several outstanding questions: how the combination of Snapdragon 810 and US-spec software will play together is probably the biggest. I'm also curious to see how much restraint - or lack of - US carriers demonstrate when it comes to bloatware.

The G Flex 2 is an interesting high-midrange phone with a striking design. Thanks to its new Snapdragon 810 processor, its performance might measure up to the Galaxy S6 (although we'll have to see). Web browsing, especially, looks really amped up, and that's great. I'm not too bothered by the lower-resolution screen.

In a year-and-a-half since the LG G Flex first launched, things have changed. Apple's BendGate controversy became worldwide news, and now everyone's mom and dad on their family plan has begun to worry about their phones breaking in their back pocket. That's still not reason enough to spring for a curved, flexible phone.

With the original G Flex, LG had some great ambitions that were ultimately hampered by reality -- the reality of complexity, of production, of price. Want to see a phone that was just a little too ahead of its time? Look no further than the G Flex2. It's honestly a little surprising how much difference a year makes, and LG has used that time wisely.

The LG G Flex 2 has launched in Korea, and will be available for pre-order on February 27th in Singapore. AT&T, Sprint and US Cellular have announced their plans to eventually carry the device sometime in the spring, though no exact date has been given. It will also launch on Vodafone in the UK, and will make its way to Australia, though there’s no timeframe for its availability. The phone has been rumored to launch at around €599.99 off-contract (~$600 US), but we’ll need to wait and see the exact price when the launch date gets closer.

If you like what you see, you should seriously consider giving the G Flex 2 a try. It’s a massive improvement over its predecessor, and this second-generation phone sets the precedent for what curved phones should be. They should be both high quality and comfortable to hold, with features that mirror those of other flagship phones. Curved phones shouldn’t be just niche devices, but a merely another design option.

LG G Flex2 review: A new angle
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
LG kicked off 2015 with a bang... or rather with a new flex. The LG G Flex2 is the first smartphone to unleash the latest Snapdragon 810 beast-of-a-chipset on the market. The curved OLED display is still one of its key unique selling points. This time around it's also got a special edition strengthened Gorilla Glass 3 at front and an updated self-healing coating on the plastic back. It has borrowed the great camera of the LG G3 along with the optical image stabilization and laser-assisted autofocus.

But in the real world, the G Flex 2 is handicapped by one of its biggest differentiators. The stormy relationship between the Snapdragon 810, Android Lollipop and LG’s custom interface makes for a very inconsistent software experience – one that gets more frustrating the longer you use it. Once LG corrects these issues, via its promised software updates or hardware revisions, the G Flex 2 might live up to the potential of its impressive specs and futuristic design. For now, it’s more valuable as yet another reminder that specs aren’t everything.
