According to a recent report, LG may look to bring the G Flex back from the dead at CES this upcoming January. Named the G Flex 2, LG is reported to make this device a big upgrade over the first curved rendition, but will still sport the non-scratch backside which made the original G Flex so desirable back in 2013.
As for what specs we might expect, potential consumers could see a somewhat smaller form factor for the G Flex 2, as well as a higher resolution display. However, it is reported LG is not moving to curved QHD displays quite yet, and will only up the resolution to 1080p from 720p.
There is no word on which processor LG will include, the amount of RAM, storage options, or anything like that, but CES is right around the corner. And don’t worry, just like every other year, Kellen and I will be there to bring you all of the goods.
Interested in a G Flex 2?
I’m definitely curious about it. The first Flex seemed to have some interesting aspects, and a 2nd generation device will only be more polished. I’d be perfectly ok with a 1080p screen, but am hoping for at least a Snapdragon 805. The phone would scream with that combination.
Loved the g flex. That screen was nice.
I’ll never buy another LG device
LG is still producing this gimmick? They haven’t even released the sales numbers
I would STILL buy the first one if it ever made it’s way over to verizon…
Wh-wh-why?
Great battery life?
I was thinking the same thing
Because I’m sure the first one was so popular.. lol
These are proof of concept devices, they likely won’t produce many knowing that. Samsung does the same thing.
We can’t just go from a 10mm thick candy bar device to foldable glass panel phones. These things need real world testing.
Does anybody need the Moto X cyber monday coupon?
sure!
I’ll take one, thanks in advance! Email is rgao007 at gmail
Interesting to hear about phone announcements for CES. Mobile Oems tend to ignore CES these days.
The only downside to the original G Flex was that they didn’t match the G2 specs. If they can match the rest of the other flagship devices’ specs then I think it would be a pretty cool phone. I may actually want it more than the Nexus 6.
…and the size and the ugly interface.
I’d buy the new one if it’s reasonably priced off contract and stock Lollipop. I loved the curved screen on my Gnex. I don’t know why it was abandoned.
Five inch? LG Power Battery? Curved and ultra-resistant (at least to sit on it)? New 64Bit-Processor? I’m hot for that, not interested.
Sorry for the off topic post, but I’d love to see d-l do a post inviting readers to share moto cyber Monday $140 discount codes. I have a few friends who got some in the fury of cyber Monday excitement who do not plan to use them. I feel like someone else out there would probably like to use them, so… Yeah.
Thanks in advance. And if anyone who sees this is actually interested in purchasing the X and didn’t get a coupon, lmk.
Can I have one? My email is rgao007gmail, thanks in advance!
Sending your way now.
Thanks man!
No problem at all. Happy to share it with someone who can use it. You should have received it by now. If not, lmk and I’ll double check the email address.
I’d be interested for sure. Too bad I’m not due for an upgrade until September and unless it comes to Verizon, I’ll be out of luck.
Um, no. Thank you, though.
G Flex>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Samsung curve
Nobody mentioned Samsung…
I really wish you died in Dawn. Go Koba.
Now you’re just blatantly lying. Go troll somewhere else.
Lying? Caesar almost died in Dawn when Koba shot him.
Wow, editing your reply to make yourself look better. You’re such a witty guy!
“Only” 1080p? I wish more companies would stick with 1080p instead of going to QHD.
Not really.
Really. Having used a G2, One M8, Note 3, S4, as well as the QHD G3 and Turbo, I can tell you there is extremely little difference between the two. The reduced battery life and game performance are not worth such an insignificant upgrade.
But the OEMs need to have bragging rights!!
Very little difference? Id suggest a trip to the doc.
And that’s because they’re using the 805. When the 810 hits, it won’t be a problem.
Just think how much better performance and battery would be with the 810 and 1080p. I didn’t say I couldn’t see a difference, I can, the difference is just so insignificant I don’t see why the push to QHD is so strong.
Since when are you in charge of what other people think?
Did I say that? I didn’t. I’m glad we have established that now. We’re all entitled to our own opinions. Murica’.
“I wish more companies would stick with 1080p instead of going to QHD.”
“Not really”
If your response was meant to reflect your own thoughts, then you worded it poorly.
It should be obvious that when people speak out, they aren’t representing everybody. Sorry you haven’t figured that out in life yet.
And I’m sorry you haven’t figured out how the English language works. I feel truly bad for you.
Ummmm no they need to keep pushing forward
Agree
Waiting one more year for the G4 – it shouldn’t disappoint – will stick with my crappy Razr MAXX HD until then….
I am on contract for the G2 now and by Christmas of next year it will be G4 or Note 5 all the way.
If they retain or even outdo the battery life of the OG Flex then I will certainly be interested.
