LG G Flex - Pros & Cons

macro shots we captured were highly detailed with great colour reproduction
build quality
performance
and user experience
Battery life is excellent and the self-healing coating will
It can withstand a good amount of flattening
subtle and comfortable
It can reportedly withstand up to 88 pounds of pressure
durable and more flexible
solid camera and impressive performance
better ergonomics and a sharper screen
gentle bend that makes little real difference in everyday use
sharp enough most of the time and images are well defined
It is lovely to handle
sharp pictures and accurate tones in light
Dark scenes go properly black
and colours are strong
Clear textures and leading edges make instruments easy to identify
quite rare and day-to-day operation is just fine
performed very well and looked great too
greatly improved performance over the Snapdragon 805 and better battery management
Keys on the sides are quicker to access
the casing seems quite stable at the same time
decent performance and look reasonable
self-healing back cover and laser auto-focus are also very innovative
The viewing angle stability is exemplary
the quad-core processor kept everything moving fluidly
it works really well
sound quality improved by leaps and bounds when
It works absolutely brilliantly and can be a great alternative to universal remotes
It has
well
pretty much everything
feels great in the hand and has power and battery life

the G Flex can do is recover from light scratches
More Awkward rear-mounted buttons
LG s Optimus UI
congested LTE networks struggling to reach 10Mbps at times
It s a little unnerving to see an expensive smartphone flex
lack of optical image stabilization
scratched the back of the device very lightly with a set of car keys
Low pixel density is only the beginning of the G Flex's display
the buttons are impossible to reach without readjusting your grip
the display substrate is glass a hard
inflexible material
grainy
noisy image
deeper scratches and scuffs to magically disappear though
ID4me does not belong to an enterprise
You are using an outdated browser
does not track and analyze the internet surfing habits of its users
G Flex 2 does not suffer on the battery life front
no microSD slot to expand that
you could incorporate a two-finger swipe for expanded lock screen notifications
edges and surfaces look patchy
LG has not installed a USB 3
full Turbo clock is not achieved
G Flex 2 does not have a dedicated camera button
gets a DMB TV tuner with a pull-out antenna on the lower corner
slower cores are based on an inefficient architecture
currently no versions of the phone to suit US LTE networks
there's no optical image stabilization
limits to what it can recover from
the video would suddenly be saturated with a vivid shade of blue
not a default search option from the get-go
hefty size can be cumbersome for users with small hands
it lacks the optical image stabilization
the plastic body was going to break during my use
the screen was a bit frustrating to look at
lacked razor-sharp focus
photos looked grainier on the phone than they do in real life
voice did sound a tad on the flat side
noticeably less glare off the G Flex
no email service can overcome a bad domain name
Sound came off a little thin
it has no buttons on the frame
radically change the look and feel of the phone like
ugly and a little unintuitive
G Flex 2 comes off as a trend-setting phone
the implementation is totally flawed
The camera was slightly erratic while focusing
it has no competitor in its niche in the market at the moment
clarity dropped quite a bit in low network areas
Box doesn't come with free cloud storage
irreparable scuffs on the back
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
the software lets it down just a tiny
tiny bit
not remotely rugged in a traditional sense
the curve doesn't seem to do anything for either camera
handheld shots end up less blurry
no real downside to the curve

I remember years ago reading an article about how, one day, we'll be able to commute and read our news from a digital piece of paper that can be rolled up and stored in our bags. To me, that appeared to be the future: a time when we could carry our entire lives on this futuristic digital scroll.
