The LG G Flex 2 under model number LG-US995 stopped by the FCC this week on its way to US Cellular. Announced last week at CES (our hands-on), the G Flex 2 stole the show on a phone front, thanks in part to its upgraded internals, but also thanks to the lack of meaningful phones from other manufacturers. US Cellular confirmed shortly after the phone was unveiled that it would carry it in the Spring, which seems odd now that we have seen it at the FCC.
Anyways, we know this is the US Cellular variant through FCC documents that show support for CDMA bands 850 and 1900, along with LTE band testing of bands 5 and 12. This particular model also has LTE bands 2, 4, 17, and 25, but without GSM bands and testing only on US Cellular’s CDMA waves, this phone won’t be much good outside of their network.
The Sprint LG G Flex appeared at the FCC back in November under model number LG-LS996.
So why is it that the lg flex was not popular amoung users. I find it to be an awesome phone. I am using it right now. I have never had an issue and my battery lasts all day and into the night. On ONE charge. So I am not sure where this statistics are coming from but I was not asked. So what if it only has 720p. It looks great. I use it to play videos and watch youtube as well as netfix and hulu. Everything looks fantastic. I watched the unveiling of the LG Flex 2. I was extremely disappointed. Lowering the display to 5.5 inches. The battery lowered to 3000 mAh from 3500. As well as it looking more like a G3 curve than an LG flex 2. From the specs I have read it is a mid range phone. Might have a fast processor but that is about it. So I will keep my phone and wait until sept to see what comes out at the IFA.
LG G flex 2 variants:

Kellen did you put Vaseline on your hands before you touched that phone?! Dat smudge!
You listening, Verizon?
Verizon listens to no one but themselves, for better or worse.
obviously for worse
SoC overheating be damned! =p
Meh – let’s see the final product. I have faith in Qualcomm.
The LG Flex was not very popular among users. If you look on a consumer based review (like for example http://www.phonestop2.tk) they didn’t ranked too. Now with the Flex 2 out…let’s see how it will go.
Nope not all users. I enjoy mine.
