LG G Flex announced with vertically curved 6-inch 720p screen, 'self-repairing' back cover

LG's  unveiled  all  the  details for its often-leaked ,  curved screen smartphone. Weighing  in  at 177g with a 6-inch (but 720p) curved OLED display, it's  powered  by a  Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, with a 13-megapixel camera housed above the two rear control buttons, which is now LG's thing. In comparison to Samsung's Galaxy Round, the screen on the G Flex arcs from top to bottom, not side-to-side, which at least makes a little more sense to us, hopefully fitting in better to the curvature of the users' face. We're yet to handle either curved phone IRL just yet, however, when we'll be able to offer up a better perspective on how both devices actually feel.
