LG\u2019s curved, flexible smartphone, the LG G Flex, will be available in the United States during the first quarter from Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile, LG Electronics announced on Monday, 6 January 2014 at CES in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The LG G Flex was first released during November 2013 in South Korea, and then Hong Kong and Singapore in December.<\/p>\n
Speaking at LG\u2019s event during CES press day, Frank Lee from LG Mobile Communications in the USA said that the G Flex was not simply innovation for innovation\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n
According to Lee, the curved battery allows for greater capacity in the same amount of space as a flat battery. The curve also allows users \u201cto hear better, to hold better, and to view better,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n
He said that in addition to hearing better when the phone is pressed against the air, the sound quality of the loudspeaker is also improved when the phone is resting on a table. This is because the ends of the device are slightly raised from the surface, Lee said.<\/p>\n
The curved display also makes for a more comfortable grip on the LG G Flex, and also offers a cinematic viewing experience, Lee said.<\/p>\n
